    Eduardo Nunez and Trevor Plouffe should have been traded. Arcia should have split time with Park regularly. Molitor should learn how to manage a bullpen so that the team only needs seven relievers.

    A late September lineup of: ​Buxton, CF (or maybe Polanco, SS) Mauer, 1B Sano, 3B Arcia/Park DH ​Kepler, RF ​Polanco, SS (or Buxton, CF) ​Dozier, 2B ​Garver, C ​Rosario, LF ​Would have me watching the Twins. And viewing Eddie as the 9 guy might be helpful.

    Hitting is nice, but taking a few more walks would be quite helpful. And what is going on defensively with him? If he could be a positive dWAR player and get back to .700 OPS the rest of the year, I would take that. Rosario-Buxton-Kepler in the OF is the only way to go. Trading off Nunez and Plouffe will mean Sano at 3B and Polanco in the mix with Escobar and Santana for SS and two bench spots. ​DH of Park and Arcia. Seems pretty easy to me. Get top 300-500 prospects (team charts 10-16) for Nunez and Plouffe and be happy that both the youth movement has arrived and that positional weirdness is pretty much taken care of.

    Any argument for not trading Eduardo Nunez will fail. I would trade him for a top 250 prospect in a heartbeat.
  5. Shane Wahl
    Thank you, Nick. This is the kind of article that I have appreciated for a long time around here.
  6. Shane Wahl
    This better be for good. If they yank him around again, I don't know what insanity will take over me.
  7. Shane Wahl
    Mind you, things could be easier in these deals if the Twins agreed to just pay the rest of the year's salary for someone like Plouffe. Or Suzuki, etc. Suzuki for free (option is likely not happening anyway) might be very attractive to a playoff team looking for a backup.
  8. Shane Wahl
    It changes somewhat if these prospects in return are very young and raw. Other than a close-to-ready catcher, there is really no reason to expect or go after prospects over 20. I imagine that Vargas would be an improvement over Kendrys Morales right now.
  9. Shane Wahl
    They have to package in mid-level prospects of their own to get valuable prospects back. And Vargas. Plouffe and Vargas might be something for the Royals to look at. The Mets might like Plouffe and Abad. It's hard to know what to do when they haven't played the young guys enough and promoted from below to higher levels in the system. And the damn injuries.
  10. Shane Wahl
    Now there is no point in doing anything with him until maybe the beginning of July. Then the whole thing has got to come up and this team can FINALLY engage in a proper rebuild where they play all the young guys for the last three months. Trade Plouffe, Nunez, and Abad, minimally. Hopefully some others will have legit trade value as well. Buxton, Kepler, Polanco need to be up July 1 to be the future. With Sano at 3B.
  11. Shane Wahl
    Jepsen is just terrible. Just terrible.
  12. Shane Wahl
    I would roll with Nunez-Mauer at the top until Nunez turns into a pumpkin.
  13. Shane Wahl
    So?
  14. Shane Wahl
    They gotta just fire everybody. Just all of them.
  15. Shane Wahl
    Great argument here. That is idiotic to yank him for that reason. There are a number of ways to score from third instead of second. And a player showing that he is THINKING about the game should probably be rewarded on this team.
  16. Shane Wahl
    Yes, yes, yes. I almost never recommend skipping AAA. I think *moving* a bit quicker up is warranted, but not skipping. I said this about Rosario at the beginning of last year.
  17. Shane Wahl
    Ok, now this is a cool article!
  18. Shane Wahl
    The thing is that yanking them up and down means they are getting inconsistent "looks" at the competition. Getting confidence in AAA, to me, is totally comical. The majors are the majors. When Berrios comes back he will be *starting all over again* in the majors. Polanco can't even get started. Meyer cannot even get started. There is a lot of talk about all of the young guys struggling. Um, basically all of the veterans have been struggling (Plouffe seems to be back to his old mediocre self, and Mauer . . . let's hope this is just a slump). Dozier, Suzuki, Nolasco, Hughes, Milone pre-demotion, Jepsen, Fien, etc. Not sure how *more of that veteran nonsense* is going to be any kind of answer.
  19. Shane Wahl
    Hunter won a few games early last season straight up with his bat. That's the major difference.
  20. Shane Wahl
    I would do the exact opposite.
  21. Shane Wahl
    Polanco is the only part of this that gives me pause, but if Dozier isn't going anywhere . . . Anyway, this is very good.
  22. Shane Wahl
    This is an article here? Really?
  23. Shane Wahl
    Mauer Nunez Sano Arcia Park Plouffe Dozier Centeno Santana/Rosario Would seem to be much better to me. I don't know how on earth Sano and Park can be batting 5th and 6th. That is really something else, Molitor.
  24. Shane Wahl
    Yeah, how the hell does he have the brains for Mauer-to-leadoff and yet he puts Dozier third and Sano-Park-Arcia 5-7???
  25. Shane Wahl
    Ulgh .. . . I left out Levi Michael. Put him at 35 to split up those catchers.
