    Yeah, that's fair but still seems pretty light for the A's
  2. gunnarthor
    I do think these moves are decent but I think this offseason will be a much bigger test for Levine.

    Holy crap. So the Twins probably could have topped the Gray deal with Gonsalves, Jay, Blankenhorn (or comparable). And they could have gotten Darvish with Romero, Thorpe and Baddoo?

    I don't disagree. I would say that the bullpen wasn't the only problem. Obviously, the starters are a mixed bag but our offense has been struggling a bit and Kintzler isn't irreplaceable. So, really our choices were maybe trading off Ynoa, Blankenhorn, Curtiss, Garver (some guys in our 10-20) for some modest bullpen help. Maybe that works. Or, we get a little for later and open up some 40 man spots and bring up Romero and Curtiss to the pen, now, and aim for next year.

    It's a solid trade. If it all works out, Watson could be a back end starter under team control for six years. It's more likely that he's a LH reliever but he has years to work this out. Realistically, the most likely scenario is that he washes out before AAA but he's another good lotto ticket. Most will fail but some will make it.
  6. gunnarthor
    The last guy made a lot of these trades, too.
  7. gunnarthor
    I think pretty much everyone between 10-16 are interchangeable for us, so he'll fit in there somewhere.
  8. gunnarthor
    Watson is a nice lotto ticket. 6'5" lefty. Only 20. Lots of strike outs but not high velocity.
  9. gunnarthor
    Watson sounds intriguing.

    Berardino was suggesting Kintzler to the Nats ...

    Wow, Yankees got a steal in the Gray deal.
  14. gunnarthor
    Not sure where to put this but it was on Heyman's twitter timeline
  15. gunnarthor
    I think the article is about right. I don't think Garcia, Santana or Dozier is traded but I do think Kintzler and either Grossman or Rosario will be.

    I really only care about baseball anymore. A lot of the stuff about pro sports bugs me - tax funded stadiums, players as role models, labor/management issues, racial issues.

    I assume Molitor is done after the year. The new FO should be able to hire the guy they want to manage their team and not take a manager based on directives from ownership.
  18. gunnarthor
    I think you're more or less right. Listen to what's out there but Santana and Dozier don't have to be moved unless we like the return. If we want to move Santana because we think he's a pumpkin then the return is going to be pretty bad. I'd bring Romero up to the pen soon. Garver to the majors as well. Probably Curtiss and any other bullpen arm I think can help going forward to see what we have. Gonsalves should finish the year at AAA.
  19. gunnarthor
    Well, that was what Burdi was.
  20. gunnarthor
    I don't think so but he does have upside. Sickels like him a lot.
  21. gunnarthor
    I've heard that story probably a dozen times. No idea if it's true but I want it to be true.
  22. gunnarthor
    Maybe. But I think Levine (who is certainly in charge of this) has a pretty good rep around the league. I certainly am not worried about him getting an AJ Preller reputation, for sure. But teams might think the Twins squeeze more than they should.
  23. gunnarthor
    Sounds like the Twins are out of the Garcia sweepstakes.
  24. gunnarthor
    Well, sounds like this wasn't as much of a sure thing as expected.
  25. gunnarthor
    Wade for Garcia and a backend prospect (LEN reported that Atlanta might include a prospect) seems fair.
