    Well yeah. No one is ever going to find a perfect comparable. I think it's fair to say we'd be looking at a player who will hit at a slightly above average rate (110-120 wRC+ range) and possibly be an average to above average defender. In all likelyhood, he's not a star. But definitely a nice player/prospect to have on your team.
  2. King
    It ultimately depends on how much value one places on age/level. Verdugo hit 273/336/407 which on the surface looks pedestrian, but he also started the year as a 19 year old in AA. Most players his age were in extended spring training. You could likely comfortably project him better than a .265/320/415 MLB hitter as he moves forward in his career. Maybe something like .280/.340/.440, based on the advanced hit tool. That's a pretty good player, and a star if he's an above average defender. Adam Eaton?

    I wouldn't want him as a throw in. Hasn't shown any ability to miss bats as evident by his swinging strike% and K% and a BB/9 of 7.94 for a 24 year old in AA is terrible.. He's probably a release candidate for the Dodgers if he doesn't figure it out next year. He didn't help matters by pitching like garbage in the AFL either. And this tweet says his stuff has taken a step back. Wilson Karaman ‏@vocaljavelins Sep 1 #Dodgers fmr 1st Rd pick Chris Anderson still struggles to repeat, finish pitches 2 yrs after my first A+ look. Now 89-92 instead of mid-90s Do not want!

    Gordon was a stud in his prime years (2011 to 2014). Even if Verdugo turns out to be 2007/2008/2015/2016 Gordon that's a nice player to have. Like a Jason Heyward. I don't know how Verdugo projects on defense though, and minor league scouting reports on defense are always iffy.
  5. King
    I think you're selling him short. I'm fairly confident in saying he's an MLB ready #3 starter with 6 years of control.

    Feels like it's about to happen fellas.

    Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan Sources: Dodgers have shown willingness to include top pitching prospect Jose DeLeon in a deal for Brian Dozier. Would be strong headliner. Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 11m11 minutes ago DeLeon makes a lot of sense for Twins, who could use young SP to complement young core. Dodgers extremely deep in near-ML-ready SP, too.

    Preferring Buehler over JDL is fairly absurd stance at this point in time. I don't believe it
  9. King
    I believe in Dave.
  10. King
    Legendary idea
  11. King
    It would, indeed. Dodgers wouldn't consider that.
  12. King
    I would love to nab Brock Stewart and Austin Barnes as the last 2 pieces of the deal.
  13. King
    I would love to have Puig, the player. I understand why they wouldn't want him though.

    Dave sending angry text messages to his source for putting his TwinsDaily board cred in jeopardy
  15. King
    Credibility
  16. King
    So are The People willing to extend the deadline another 24 hours for the sake of Daves board cred?
  17. King
    I have my pitchfork ready
  18. King
    The winter meetings are over at the conclusion of the rule 5 draft. Possible that they finish it today, or tomorrow, or it never happens at all.
  19. King
    Dave whats the latest word
  20. King
    So Dave gets banned if the trade isn't official by tomorrow afternoon, right? Just joking. Appreciate the insight and discussion this thread has created even if the trade doesn't happen.
  21. King
    There's been Dodgers/Twins Dozier buzz for 3 weeks now. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it happens, and neither should anyone else.
  22. King
    It happens quite regularly. I assume that it would never happen without the consent of the player. Most of the time the player agrees to the deal with the KBO/NPB team, and the team agrees to let them go. Otherwise, you would get reactions like this
  23. King
    I have no problem with letting either of them go.
  24. King
    I'm 100% on board with trading Dozier. Great player, Twins draft pick in 2009, but coming off what likely is a career year and on a cheap contract for the next few seasons, and going to be on the wrong side of 30 next season. His value will likely never be higher. I hope we get a good return!
  25. King
    Best of luck to him. Not many people can say they pitched in the MLB. Looking at the game log, he had way more good outings than bad. But when he had bad outings, they were really bad. There are definitely some gems in there. And I was at his first MLB start! http://www.fangraphs.com/statsd.aspx?playerid=11350&position=P I will remember both Pat Deans ERA and the Pat Dean era fondly!
