  1. Corriea....best SS in al of baseball meets your criteria mostly (well, he played AAA this year, and didn't skip it like Buxton did). Sano, I believe, meets most of your criteria. Go look at the lists if you want to know the answers to your questions, more than you think.
  2. MN doesn't have a pitcher? I agree, it is unlikely Bernie or Hilary could pitch, but at least they should try.
  3. Smalley, mouthpiece for the Twins, says what the Twins FO says, news at 11.
  4. I think he's an elite prospect that doesn't need to be babied. EVERY other elite prospect from this year's lists is up, and playing. Is every other team wrong, or is Buxton just not that good? I accept that they can keep him down for service reasons, I don't have to like it as a fan.
  5. Ya, heaven forbid you get excited when doing something well.......
  6. Oh boy, another chance to talk about how admiring a HR is somehow disrespectful to the other team and the game...... Twins lost because they aren't as good as the Jays, no complex analysis needed, imo.
  7. Really, you think service time will have zero influence on that, despite what we see all over MLB?
  8. Yipeee. Very important not to put your best players on the field. Always play for the future, that's what I say.
  9. The more I think about it, the more I hate this take. The REAL downside is he's not on the field producing, and now there is a tiny chance they'll start him in AAA next year. That's the real downside, imo.
  10. I'm with SD Buhr......if you are worried about options on Buxton, this team is in BIG trouble. If they are so worried about 2020 and beyond that they don't put on him on the roster day 1 next year, well, why would anyone buy a ticket from these guys. Try to win, please.
  11. I hope it isn't systemic, but based on outcomes, something isn't right.
  12. Last time he was here, Hunter was pretty clear that this effects a team......
  13. If this wasn't the 17th year where he acted this way, I'd have sympathy to this line of thinking.....
  14. List the RP they've drafted and developed the last 4 years.......it's not a one off problem, is it? For some people, it is never the FO or the coaches or the process.....
  15. What if the young players don't turn out? There is risk there also, right?
  16. Great list! Congrats to all of them on a good month. It's a nice list compared to year's past for sure.
  17. Maybe one of our well connected people here can ask about what has been going on with Burdi, changing his approach wise......
  18. I have no interest in discussing if Dozier is good or not......none.
  19. if not May....agreed, I'd rather see Duffey get another shot. What's he do in the week he sits?
  20. except for defense and base running, sure......but isn't that true of every player, take away his biggest skill, and he's not worth as much?
  21. It's not necessarily bad, imo, if what you trade turns out to be great, if you got what you wanted in return. Trades are not a zero sum game, they can help both sides, even if 1 side gets "more" out of it.
  22. That wasn't the question at all, was it? The premise of the article was that the Twins are doing badly, ergo, standing still was a good idea. If the Twins had won every game since the break, would that have meant they should not make deal? Half the games? What outcomes, produced by the TWINS, would lead the OP and others to conclude that standing still was a bad idea?
  23. I think it is fair to question trading for Tulo. I think it is BS to say trading for Tulo was only about this year, which some keep typing.
