    Jokin, I think Thrylos believes Beloit won't be the A- affiliate of the Twins. They will start (and likely finish) at A- next year. Kepler, Buxton, D-Rod, Jimenez, and Pineda in the OF for Beloit next year?
  2. Shane Wahl
    Great for them and a smart for the Twins to promote when they ought to do so.
  3. Shane Wahl
    Valencia brought back comparable value to Liriano (since I think Escobar is a never-will in terms of amounting to anything)!!!
  4. Shane Wahl
    The past hatred for Valencia and the current hatred around here of trading Valencia for an OF prospect is pretty funny.
  5. Shane Wahl
    Do you think he would have been productive for the Twins? That is the appropriate question.
  6. Shane Wahl
    How terrible does this guy have to be before he is recognized as done sunk cost?
  7. Shane Wahl
    With personality? No, Valencia has no place on the Twins roster. The move is good for both Valencia and the Twins.
  8. Shane Wahl
    I don't think so. Certainly not for the Twins. And I can see the Red Sox viewing Valencia and the Green Monster favorably.
  9. Shane Wahl
    There are going to be a number of empty 40-man spots available after this season. Florimon might be the direct beneficiary of this move (the Twins adding both Nishi and Florimon for September makes more sense now).
  10. Shane Wahl
    I forgot about JD Williams' struggles as well. This is good to get something of value for Valencia, even though I am sure everyone would have preferred a similarly located pitcher. Now can someone claim Casilla? Pretty please?
  11. Shane Wahl
    I like this. With the potential collapse of Angel Morales and doubts about Danny Ortiz, this is a nice move. It will be interesting to see Pineda when he gets to Beloit (hopefully right away, with a Nate Roberts promotion).
  12. Shane Wahl
    Koch has a .780 OPS at Beloit. He turns 24 in three months and is part of the logjam that is the Twins organization in terms of how it views AAA (so if Herrmann and Pinto don't get promoted a level, it only makes sense to keep Koch where he is as well-unfortunately). After struggling mightily in July, Koch hopefully turns things around in August.
  13. Shane Wahl
    Herrmann continues to plug away at New Britain, with a .739 OPS. He now has 848 plate appearances at AA. That comes with a .265/.361/.393 line and 15 homers. A backup catcher and 5 OF who gets on base at .350 and slugs .390 would be valuable for the Twins.
  14. Shane Wahl
    Any thoughts on Dozier being the 2B of the future instead of the SS?
  15. Shane Wahl
    Speaking for myself, the Twins organization has burnt me the hell out this year! (and I was both simultaneously really busy and really lazy, if that makes sense) I like John's general idea as well as the contest idea. I can see how already highly productive bloggers might take some issue, though. To address Jim's concern, I would think other blog posts about Cedar Rapids or whatever could be welcomed as part of the two posts requirement.
  16. Shane Wahl
    Ah, yes. No AFL for Arcia.
  17. Shane Wahl
    Hopefully they use the AFL for other guys to get some more at bats. I don't think Arcia needs that. Angel Morales is a clear case.
  18. Shane Wahl
    Has anyone looked at other organizations to see the prevalence of this kind of thing with them too. It seems egregious right now, but I would like a comparison.
  19. Shane Wahl
    The Twins are the slowest at promoting position players, or at least they were pre-2011. Then they decided to have their best prospects skip AAA altogether. Doesn't work (only for Arcia would it make any sense). Chris Herrmann is stagnating. Josmil Pinto is as well. Maybe Matthew Koch would do better if he was promoted (I wouldn't overlook the letdown that players experience when they are blocked, blocked, blocked) Rene Rivera is not worth keeping catching prospects from progressing. I don't like the Twins currently trading one pitcher for one pitcher. I do NOT get the Escobar involvement in this trade. Pedro Florimon, James Beresford, and Danny Santana may ALL be better overall than this guy.
  20. Shane Wahl
    I hate the prospect of Liriano have a great 2013 with the White Sox.
  21. Shane Wahl
    We don't need a 5th starter type and a middle infielder with low upside.
  22. Shane Wahl
    5.7 k/9 this year in the minors. It's good that he is still fairly young.
  23. Shane Wahl
    Ok, hopefully trade time is done. This is just terrible. Trading within THE DIVISION is one thing, but doing it and getting next to nothing in return for a guy who at least is 50% very good, is absolutely ridiculous.
  24. Shane Wahl
    The Reds will get Victorino.
  25. Shane Wahl
    So really a "no" on all of these guys?
