    I hope the Twins make the "right" decision and take Kyle Wright.. Not a fan of taking a high school pitcher who relies heavily on his great fastball. If he doesn't have a 2nd or 3rd plus pitch you never know if he could develop one. The Twins need to be smart and pass on Greene. As for Brendan McKay I would feel the Twins would chose wrong on whether to be a pitcher or hitter.

    I was about to make a sort of similar post to this in a way. My question is what do the Twins have in the minors that could bring in a Sonny Gray type of pitcher? I would like to somehow put Eddie Rosario as part of any deal. Good defender with a strong arm but the plate discipline just drives me crazy.

    Just DFA him already. The team would be better off without him. Mauer doesn't bring any leadership to the team and you still pay him either way. It would just like ripping off a band aid. It might hurt for a second but you will feel better when he is gone.

    If they could save $1.5M+ it could be worth it to use that money to be able to overpay on a later pick. It would be nice if the Twins could pull something off like Houston did when they passed on Buxton to pick Carlos Correa & had extra money to pick up Lance McCullers Jr as well.

    Come someone please send the picture of Tommy Watkins keeping his eyes on the ball to Byron Buxton so he can remember how it works.

    No interest in any of those pitchers. All will demand a minimum of 5 years and you have to be careful of their ages near the end and the possible opt out in a contract. Let's just wait for 2018 offseason when Joe Mauer is finally off the books to think about spending money on an aging pitcher.

    This move doesn't do much for me in the least. I felt Pat Light had a huge upside but needed time to work out the kinks. I would not be shocked to see a team offer the Twins a player for Light if they want him and are not on top of waiver list.

    I agree, I see a .248 average and 34 home runs. The Dodgers were smart to trade for Forysythe.

    I could have made this a topic a long time ago but figured it would get crushed for negative and against the Twins.

    I really don't think Detroit would want to move Kinsler unless they got an insanely huge offer for him. They have a solid team and will push Cleveland hard for the AL Central this upcoming season. As well as the fact they don't have a suitable in house replacement for him in their system. Side note San Diego just gave former Twin Yangervis Solarte a 2 year deal today. So that leaves the Dodgers with 2 players to choose from if they decide to trade for a 2b. Brian Dozier or Logan Forsythe. Dozier has put up solid power numbers for a 2b for 4 years now and Logan Forsythe just the last 2 seasons. The Dodgers want to play the angle Dozier is from a small market and may not be able to handle a large market. What would happen to a player from Tampa who plays in front of a 15K fans on a good day at home. What a joke. Andrew Friedman will try to be all cool and try to make the Twins sweat waiting for his call but I feel he will ultimately cave and try to start it back up on Wednesday. He has 2 weeks until they have Dodger FanFest and would like to have it resolved. By the way, the Dodgers FanFest is free for all fans and don't charge unlike our Twins. So another reason a deal gets done, the Dodgers like to please their fans.

    Kendrys Morales Part 2. He will perform after he leaves. Don't waste the time or money for him.

    My biggest pet peeve are people who cannot form their own comment and have to use someones quote to say something. I hope the Twins don't have to take Calhoun in the deal. Get JDL, Alvarez, and Stewart and be happy.
  13. darin617
    So add Kintzler to deal and then maybe sign Sergio Romo or someone else to close because I don't know what to expect from Perkins.
  14. darin617
    This means Alvarez would be on the table like Dave said in the first place. Calhoun is technically a higher rated prospect.
  15. darin617
    Sweet first 2017 post until it gets removed from topic. I just hope however this Dozier deal turns out or if we keep he is not what the new brain trust will be known for. I am not a fan of the deadline talk for a deal to get done.
  16. darin617
    Urias threw over 122 innings last year and never came close to breaking 100 innings in his short career. For people thinking he is going to be #2 behind Kershaw are going to be wrong. The Dodgers are going to have to get very creative to limit his innings to keep him around 150 or so innings. I am not saying he does not have the talent to become great but he has been babied so far and who knows how he will react to getting pushed.
  17. darin617
    Kinsler will not waive his no trade clause without getting a couple years added on to his current deal. He will also be 35 this upcoming year and teams are finally waking up and using some common sense when it comes to contract length to players in their mid 30's. If JDL and Alvarez are on the table beg for a small 3rd piece and get it done!
  18. darin617
    The Cards would like to dump him on the Twins in a Dozier deal. Maybe a change of scenery could turn him around.
  19. darin617
    I hope that is not what we have to look forward to at a few of the positions. Sano will be the DH by 2019 and if Eddie Rosario doesn't bounce back in 2017 I am not sure if it's not time to move on.
  20. darin617
    The future is always bright when you get close to rock bottom. Sorry, I only have faith in Ervin Santana in this rotation.
  21. darin617
    The next step after hopefully finalizing a deal with the Dodgers is to shore up the defense. Jason Castro will be helpful to the pitchers having a catcher that can frame a pitch. Sadly the defense was not very helpful to the pitchers. This will take a few years and cannot be expected to fixed over night.

    Change #4 to a legit 3rd outfielder. As much as I have always liked Eddie Rosario he doesn't seem like the right fit. He still needs much more work to become a starter for a good team. If he could show some discipline at the plate and raise his OBP he could be that guy. When it takes 7 years of playing professionally to draw 209 career walks something has to change. The worst part he hasn't broke 20 hr's since his early minor league years.

    Yankees just signed Chapman to a 5 year deal for $86 million.
  24. darin617
    Didn't the Twins trade rule 5 picks with the Marlin's and that's how the Twins got Johan Santana?
  25. darin617
    Besides him be a high school player the Twins "were" well known for slowly promoting players. Hopefully the new brain trust is a touch more aggressive. But it would not take much.
