Sigh...this isn't about patience. This is about their play in 2016. Buxton will be the 2017 Center fielder, and should be. Kepler in a corner. I'd try to make Rosario my fourth outfielder, but the Twins won't. But their play in 2016, while they had their hot streaks, was overall pretty far below average. Certainly not at a B level on a A-F scale.

No matter what you think these top four 2016 Twins outfielders MIGHT become, there is no possible way they deserve three B's and a C. That's crazy talk. If They get three B's, what letter do you give Mike Trout?

Standing O.

A one year deal makes no sense if he's not likely to pitch this year.

Not if the Twins eat the money.

Ditto.

What possible difference does the salary make? Don't want to give up the 2nd round pick? Ok, I understand that. I disagree, but I understand. Don't want to take PAs away from Rosario? OK, I disagree but understand the argument. Bautista's too old? You might be right. Worried about the money? That I do not understand.

Yes, please. Now we're talkin'! $25m, who cares? Spend it, or it goes in the bank. I'd rather they spend it.

What a suck up. Disgusting.

The All-Time Worst Twins: Butch Huskey

TK was right. -
Included in a roundabout way?
-
With each passing year, my opinion of PEDs softens.
-
And as it turned out, the Twins would have been better off keeping Santana for his last year, rather than trading him for a couple shiny trinkets.
-
Can't wait!

If I owned that store my definition of "perishable" would differ.
-
Just males?

We have a system in place to deal with the perpetrators when young women (or young men, or old persons even) are being assaulted. The problem is, we don't know that an assault took place in this instance.

Actually, 5 of the players were recommended for expulsion. From the available copy: Effective immediately your University of Minnesota studentship will be ended with resultant loss of all student rights and privileges. A disciplinary hold will be placed on your record. The hold will prevent you from registering at the University and from obtaining your records through routine channels.

Not to mention, if there are "holes all over" then the "rebuild" is already a failure and there's no reason to think a WS is possible anyway. Buxton either is, or isn't a savior. Sano is up. Polanco. Berrios. Kepler, Chargois, etc etc. If those players can't form the nucleus of contention in 2017, 2018 at the latest, when will they? I can see the argument to trade Dozier, but if that's the one and only plan from new management, they're already failures. Find some pitching. It doesn't have to come from trading Dozier. How are other teams adding this winter?

Not one person here, nor the "experts" for that matter, can predict with any degree of accuracy what the 2017 season will look like. Much less what any specific player will do. And you think you can predict what a current minor leaguer will be five years from now? So I'm skeptical that it makes much sense for a major league team to operate under the premise that adding 2 or 3 specific minor leaguers in December 2016 makes the 2021 World Series more likely by any significant amount. The most likely result of that trade would be to make the 2017 Twins worse while having little to no effect on the 2021 team. That's the nature of iffy minor league players...and make no mistake, EVERY rumored return is still in the "iffy" category. So I think you have to have a good chance for immediate benefit, and DeLeon is a start on that, or you keep Dozier and the Dodgers can just go blank themselves.
-
My agenda would be to ensure the Regents demand those standards from all parties. Students, whether or not they are male athletes, employees, and offices such as the EOAA. I don't believe any of those groups are in compliance in this case.
-
What if, what if, what if? That's the point. If the Dodgers need Dozier more than the Twins do, then pay up. "We need to trade Dozier this winter" is a bad way to run a ball club. Particularly when there doesn't appear to be a lot of teams currently in the market. Unless there's a good chance a trade makes the 2017 Twins better, don't do it.

As is the quote I replied to.

KSTP has one copy of the EOAA report, and the police report, here: http://kstp.com/sports/university-of-minnesota-eoaa-investigative-report-gophers-football-players/4347059/?cat=1 Ugly. But it bothers me the report finds her inconsisteies make her more credible, while the players inconsistencies make them less credible. No agenda there, right?
