    Park looked safe

    I wouldn't offer an extension to Sano or Buxton unless it was super cheap. Both of them need to get their strikeout percentage under 30% or they still stand a decent chance to be a bust.

    That rotation...Besides Santana and maybe Gibson, none of those starters want to make me tune into their starts.

    Not so bad until you realize the Twins haven't even got a runner on yet.

    I don't think this game is being televised or on the air. All you need to know is Santiago got rocked in the 2nd inning. 4 runs, no outs recorded.
  6. drock2190
    Buxton starting off strong. Got caught leaning but still stole 2nd.

    Cash seems like a Light return but what do I know.

    Similarities between the Twins and the Wolves? I say there is similarities between them, the Vikings, the Wild and so on. They all disappoint their fans. That's all you need to know.

    2 walks and the Grossman hits the first pitch only to hit a weak little bouncer for the last out. Classic.

    What kind of at bat was that?!
  11. drock2190
    Dude you jinxed him.

    Yep. I can see him starting but if that goes poorly, then he will get released around midseason. Best case scenario is that he rebounds and can be traded for a bag of balls at the deadline.

    There is a whole big thread on Gray here somewhere. Basically, I think he's a bit overrated in Oakland. Good #2, not an ace.
  16. drock2190
    Why trade for Tex when we can sign Bonds?
  17. drock2190
    Your right. But in order to not turn this into a religious discussion, I'll stop the conversation here.

    If you firmly believe in the bible, why can't you express your beliefs that way? OH wait, times are changing, you must go with the flow.

    Lots of dreaming going on in here... Remember this is the Twins

    If you end up blaming the schedule for your team's failure to make the postseason, your team wasn't very good to begin with. Good teams overcome.
  21. drock2190
    Not to mention he's injury prone. Basically, the Nats would end up laughing at us twice for two horrible trades.
  22. drock2190
    So Twins never trade for a catcher because its a need? I don't know man, doesn't seem too logical. I get the smart thing but I think you mean draft for need.
  23. drock2190
    I didn't include Nolasco because he has negative trade value and it's tough to move players like that. I wouldn't be surprised if he performs badly next season he will be released and the Twins will eat the last year of his contract. As for Duffey and Gibson, it hurts but if it's for the good of the club, you pull the trigger. Lots of depth at starting pitching.
  24. drock2190
    In my mind, players that have a chance to be moved are as follows: Trevor Plouffe - This is obvious as this would allow Sano to play the field and open up the DH spot. I think Molitor and the Twins would like flexibility to put other guys in that spot. Plouffe could play 1st but Joe Mauer isn't going anywhere so Plouffe gets traded. Jorge Polanco - Doesn't have the arm for shortstop and profiles better as a 2nd baseman which is blocked right now, so he will dangled as trade bait. Kyle Gibson - Rotation is crowded, he could be moved to help better the club in another area. Tyler Duffey - Another player that could be traded. His value has continued to grow and if the Twins front office isn't convinced on his long term potential he could be moved. He's basically a two pitch pitcher so unless he develops a 3rd pitch, teams could catch up to him. Aaron Hicks - Rebounded so he has some value now. Obviously, with the way Buxton has played so far, it would be unwise to just give him the keys to center field. A one year stopgate could be had in free agency and Hicks could be bait to get a catcher like Norris from San Diego. Oswaldo Arcia - Would be a classic sell low move but its been known to happen in the past. Did I miss any other players that could be moved? Keep in mind, all these players are assets right now.

    That is one heck of a trade rape by San Diego. Gibson is better then Shields this year. And Shields pitches in the easier league in a pitcher friendly environment. What is everyone's fascination with Shields?
