    The Varland deal was the worst of all the deals today. Trading Louie Varland makes no sense at all. This all has to do with the impending sale of the team. What a sorry state of affairs.

    To me, a selloff like this is indicative of a massive failure in the FO. This is a sad day in Twins' history.

    I spoke briefly with Carlos at spring training this year He was finishing his work in the batting cages. I wished him well this season and he smiled and thanked me. I hope he remains in baseball as a manager when his playing days are over. No matter what the future holds for him, I wish him well. My memories of him will always be very positive.

    Thanks for the memories Carlos. You were the best SS I every saw play for Minnesota. You were the epidemy of a professional baseball player. I wish you and your family much success and happiness in Houston.

    I was pushing Teel due to the Twins weakness at the catching position in the majors and minors. Don't get me wrong, Jeffers is a solid major league catcher, but after Jeffers, in the catching depth for the foreseeable future is as bleak as the Korean DMZ in winter.

    Is Tonkin ushering tonight?
  8. tarheeltwinsfan
    Throw Tonkin into any trade proposals. He's had his chances.

    I would trade Duran to Seattle for Harry Ford, the fifth ranked catcher in the minors, who is 22 and in AAA and is blocked by Raleigh who is "all world" at catcher.

    Even as bad as the Rockies are, they had 37,000 fans in attendance yesterday and are averaging 30,000 per game. Minnesota is 25th in the major leagues in average home attendance this year, averaging 22,000 per game. There must be more to attracting fans to a major league game night after night, than just winning, although that is a part. So here's my question: Why don't the Twins have more fans in attendance?
  12. tarheeltwinsfan
    A decent reliever? He didn't do well against the first four Rocky batters yesterday, when he was fresh. I just don't think Paddock is a good enough pitcher to keep on the Twins team. There are better options in the minors.
  13. tarheeltwinsfan
    Beating the Rockies in July counts the same as beating the Phillies in September. The most important game of the year is the one being played.

    Very interesting post. Thanks for reminding us to look at the big picture here.

    The Guardian trades of Bauer and Clevenger are not good comps to the Twins trading Ryan. Both Bauer and Clevenger appeared to be weird people, who probably needed to be traded for the good of the team. Joe Ryan, while unique, is a great teammate, and is team orientated. He is a talented, cerebral pitcher, not just a thrower. I am opposed to trading a player just because he is at his "peak". Keep him at his peak and win today. The future is now. Tomorrow is always a day away.

    Great information. Thanks Jamie. A lot of time and effort and skill went into these articles. They are amazing.
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    I understand your points, but I feel Baltimore needed to draft college pitching way more than Baltimore needed to draft 2 more catchers and another lefty hitting OF'er. In other words we disagree on the theory of drafting for need vs. drafting the best available player. I realize I have over simplified our differences by my statement above, so I'm going to take a nap. LOL.

    Very good points Fatbat.

    Excellent analysis Dman.

    CH, I too was initially hoping the Twins would draft Ike Irish at 16, but I wonder why he didn't catch much, if any, this past season. I know he had a broken scapula, but I don't know how much that factored into the decision for him to play RF this season after the injury. He may have played RF because he is too good a hitter to risk injuries at catcher. Or Auburn's second string catcher may have been better than Auburn's second string RF'er. Another considertion is that the Twins top two prospects (Jenkins and Rodriguez) are left-handed hitting outfielders and Irish bats lefty. In addition, Wallner and Larnach both bat lefty also and they are both relatively young and still developing. I just think the Twins have enough young lefty hitting outfielders and didn't want to take a chance on Irish's catching ability.

    Thanks Jamie. I am pleased with the two 6' 5" college flame throwers, the power potential with Young and the "fielding first" choice of Houston. The timing is right to start looking for a fielding first SS to be mentored by C-4 to eventually take C-4's place at SS. Brooks Lee is solid, but Houston brings more fielding skill at SS. Lee can do well at 2B or at utility (like Castro- a switch hitter) if LK is the real deal at 2B. Houston seems to be a Noah Miller type fielder, who can make contact with the bat. I like the picks. Now it's time to find a young catcher, with a rifle for an arm.

    Ryan, I'm sorry I upset you. I understand your points. It's all OK. Let's be friends. We live 30 miles apart in North Carolina. By the way, I had no high school glory days. I was a terrible pitcher for Statesville High School. LOL. I hope Adams does well in his career.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Ryan, Travis Adams has pitched in 2 games for the Twins. He has pitched 8 innings, allowed 11 hits, 1 walk, 6 earned runs, resulting in an ERA of 6.75 and a WHIP of 1.50. And that is not BS. It is a fact.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Thanks Jamie for all your excellent work on these prospects...and others. My question is : Should the Twins consider drafting Irish, Bodine or Stevenson, if available? The organization seems to have few, if any, budding prospects at catcher.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    We'd better be careful or MLB will want to break up this dynasty. Just kidding. Great article which gives us Twins' fans lots of hope.
