    Pretty good summary. Figgins is TERRIBLE now. Does that word mean nothing to some of you? The Twins might as well just call up Escobar, who isn't very good either but is still developing and is--right now--better than Figgins. That the Mariners threw Figgins out in CF for 9 games or whatever doesn't make him a backup CF. Is Michael Hollimon still around? He would actually be no worse than Chone Figgins. Good grief.
  2. Shane Wahl
    Do the Cardinals need to stock up on middle relievers in their system? Haha.
  3. Shane Wahl
    Good question. I would want to hold on to Kepler and Berrios as much as the very top prospects, so I would be more inclined to send Benson, Harrison, or Boyd and maybe a lower guy like Hermsen. And that's for Span. Revere? Certainly none of the top 10-12.

    6. Twins 5. Jays- They dealt Marisnick and Nic to the Marlins, but still have Sanchez and Syndergaard. Also have D'Arnaud and a lot of HS talent that will b developing this year 4. Rays- 6 of their top 10 are Pitchers. Guerrieri has potential to be an ace . The rest of their system is built up with pitchers/young hitters. 3. Diamondbacks- They have 3 ACES in Skaggs/Bauer/Bradley with Skaggs being the best, but the rest of their system is weak. 2. Rangers- The System speaks for itself. Profar,Olt, Perez, and a seemingly endless supply of top Latin American talent. I was considering putting them at 1, but their younger talent is about ready to play their first Full league season this year, after this year when Walker and Zunino make their Debut's, the Rangers will be #1. Texas lacks a real ace in their system as well, although Perez will be a good 2. 1. Mariners- Walker is an Ace, Paxton and Hultzen will top out at #2's (which is very hard to find these days), Zunino is a a star behind the plate and his bat backs that up. Maurer is regarded very highly in their system after his breakout year. This seems to be pretty spot on. I think graduation is going to hit the top six somewhat evenly this year.
  5. Shane Wahl
    Yes that is a key difference in the treatment of the injuries. Blackburn may actually be ruined now. Worley was taken care of appropriately.
  6. Shane Wahl
    He is making $1.5 million this year. I really like the consistency of his career numbers. Trading for him would take what kind of prospect?
  7. Shane Wahl
    The FA market is pretty bad for CF after the top players. It seems doubtful that the Twins would do that now.
  8. Shane Wahl
    My dream lineup would be: Hicks Mauer Willingham Morneau Doumit Plouffe Parmelee Dozier/Carroll Florimon/Carroll
  9. Shane Wahl
    Carroll is a good OBP guy and Chone Figgins is now completely and utterly terrible.
  10. Shane Wahl
    I think this is pretty much correct. If Hicks demonstrates offensive competence in ST, the job is his. Mastro is the backup option and that honestly isn't terrible. By the way, back to my 2012 adopted prospect Chris Herrmann . . . this OF exodus means that it really would make more sense to have Herrmann instead of Butera on the roster, especially if Mastroianni is the opening CF.
  11. Shane Wahl
    Parmelee has to be in RF at the moment (yikes) and Morneau is safe. Morneau now is a deadline deal and that is fine (Parmelee takes over at 1B and Arcia takes over in RF). This is all about Aaron Hicks.
  12. Shane Wahl
    It had looked like a punt after the Span trade. But this Revere deal had been in the works for awhile anyway. What's fascinating to me is that Aaron Hicks, who was maligned by Twins "fans" going into 2012, may MAY be the starting CF and leadoff hitter for the 2013 Twins.
  13. Shane Wahl
    Good article, Nick. It's amazing how things can turn. I am still flabbergasted by getting a legit pitcher for 2013 and a prospect for the future in return for Ben Revere. From Philly's perspective, it is actually good too. They save a bunch of money and can spend on pitching or whatever. Michael Young and Dempster or somebody are possibilities now without spending that money on Bourn.
  14. Shane Wahl
    The Mariners and D-Backs are solid. The Mariners might be trading some of that away though.
  15. Shane Wahl
    Also, if Benson comes back strong and Rosario shows that he can stay at second base, the Twins may have the best. I haven't checked on the 2013 Royals system in any detail.
  16. Shane Wahl
    I would say around top 5. Part of that has to do with the fact two guys at the bottom of the top 10, Berrios and Kepler, have super high ceilings.
  17. Shane Wahl
    TR just said that Nick Blackburn should "bounce back" this year. So there's that.
  18. Shane Wahl
    I think the Twins must be rolling with either Mastro or Hicks because there is no CF out there that they could possibly sign.
  19. Shane Wahl
    Never mind. Sizemore is having surgery yet again.
  20. Shane Wahl
    Two words: Grady Sizemore.
  21. Shane Wahl
    Who would have thought that we would be considering who the Twins should sign as a FA fill-in OF this offseason???
  22. Shane Wahl
    I somehow now have the MLB network and have enjoyed the winter meetings coverage.
  23. Shane Wahl
    May will improve in AA this year and hopefully move to AAA at some point this season. Anyway, Verducci loves it for the Twins. Kevin Millar just started jabbering incoherently about Revere, including that he has a "great arm."
  24. Shane Wahl
    I am not going to go through the comments. I will just second this and move on!

    What a steal!!!!!!!!
