    ah, I'm looking at the wrong tyler Watson... Edit: yes, much more intriguing.
  2. diehardtwinsfan
    He's 24 in the MWL (2 years older than league) with a high walk rate and high K rate. They have other C+ guys I'd be a bit more interested in for the record.
  3. diehardtwinsfan
    That may be so, but they've been linked to Gray and Darvish as well. Wonder if the Twins would do a Paulino (as a PTBNL) for Santana swap.
  4. diehardtwinsfan
    I'd imagine that is what you'd get. I did some checking, and a lot of the C+ guys that I would want aren't doing too hot this year.
  5. diehardtwinsfan
    Well for fun, here is Sickle's top 20 on them.
  6. diehardtwinsfan
    I'm really curious if the Stros will make a run for Santana. They Yankees are corning the market on Gray. Seems like the Stros are out on Darvish too. They might be a fit here.
  7. diehardtwinsfan
    I wonder if it's a conditioning thing. He is pretty young, so to some extent that is expected. The flip side is it happened much later in the season this year.
  8. diehardtwinsfan
    I agree on Stewart in AA. I'd further add that he might not be added to the 40 man given his results. He could be a rule V casualty if the FO wanted to roll the dice there. Regardless, he's hardly been horrible in AA. His problem continues to be his peripheral stats.
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    well, given that the Indians seem more interested in Zach Britton and his price tag/history now that Reed is gone, you might be right.
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    I wouldn't expect much more than a high upside/high risk low A lotto type. Honestly, I'm also fine with that.
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    MLBTR is saying the Yankees are front runners for Gray right now. Guess their rotation is in pretty bad shape if they've acquired Garcia and still want more pitching.
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    I suspect we will see both Enns and Sleegers shortly depending on today's action. Enns will likely replace Colon. If Erv is traded, I think Sleegers gets added too.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    His bat is a bit punchless too. Sorry, but I don't see anything from Granite that says he will be a better player than Buxton. He might be slightly better now, but he definitely doesn't have the higher ceiling.
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    I doubt this many pieces get moved. I'd be surprised if more than 2 guys are moved.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    so for the record, mlbtr has Kintzler as number 5 on the list of guys to move. Santana is 23. No other Twins make the list.
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    It's one thing to rely on a guy like Santana to win a playoff game, and another thing to have a guy like Santana in the rotation to make sure you're competitive in that spot every 5th game. There's still 60 or so games of baseball left. Side note, but I doubt many teams have 4 starters better than Santana, even with his bad outings of late and poor peripherals. He would be starting playoff games if acquired.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    May is a major leaguer. If he needs time come spring, I'd have him as an EST candidate and send over to Rochester when he's ready to start pitching. That might not be the right answer, but to me he deserves a spot on the ML team as soon as he's ready. He would be my top choice for 5th starter if he's ready out of ST. I do think that the 5th spot should be a rotating spot given the depth of talent that will exist in the high minors. Just about (if not) all of those guys will be on the 40 man, meaning that they do not need to have too much patience if a guy cannot make it out of the 3rd inning for multiple starts. If Santana is traded, I think they go with a 1 year deal for someone on top of a big FA signing. Just my two cents. I agree that I don't think it would be wise to go into 2018 without making an FA splash, and that is if they keep Erv. As for Hurlbut, I've never been too high on him, but I do agree that he's been good enough that he should be in this conversation too.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    I think you're selling Mejia a bit short here. He's had his ups and downs, no doubt, but he should be penciled in this spring.. Now that said, if Santana is traded, I do think they need go out and get two arms. I could see one on a 1 year deal with another longer term asset locked up, but I think they need two arms if they let Santana go.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    for all the angst surrounding Belisle's name, it's a bit surprising to think he could be dealt to another team. Not sure I'd expect a ton for Belisle or Kintsler, but if we get a low A lotto type, I'm fine with that.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    Glad to see you've joined us.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    Should note the OP states Barnes will start in Etown... guessing that's a typo?
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    Just looking at the arms the Twins will likely be stashing in Rochester: Enns Littell Gonsalves Romero Jorge Sleegers Stewart That's seven names, all of whom would likely be on the 40 man, where in reality they would have only 5 or 6 starters. I suppose Stewart might be able to be left off the 40 man, and possibly left in Rochester, but that's one heck of an AAA rotation. Other than Enns, I don't see any with a real chance of breaking with MN, and I really hope they aren't planning on having 2 rookies in the rotation come 2018.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah, I'd honestly flip Gimenez for org filler just to get Garver up. He's ready.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    As would most of us, but Bradley is doing quite well for them this year in the pen which hurts them now. I cannot imagine that is where he ends up, nor can imagine they would move him, but yeah, that would make me listen as well.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    Yep. I definitely would not be opposed to seeing him return in a coaching/front office/scouting capacity.
