    I would certainly be open to trading Gordon for a blue chip pitching asset, and a guy like Jon Gray, while not exactly risk free, would definitely be someone I'd be willing to converse about. That isn't going all in, and probably not what I'd call "buy". That's more or less the type of trade you normally do in the offseason where roster's get rebalanced. Now that said, I'm probably more in the sell category personally. I don't see this team having the talent to make it. I'm not sure I sell on Santana unless they are able to bring in a guy like Gray as well as making an FA splash this offseason, but I'm definitely dangling Kintzler and Dozier and any other marginal vet that has a ready replacement.

    This condition is worthless without the word bilateral in there somewhere.

    There's plenty of older guys doing well in said league. You don't promote on age, you promote based on it being an appropriate location for where you are. The old guys still struggling are the ones who get released. To me, age relative to league average is a good metric.
  4. diehardtwinsfan
    Yeah, hard to deny age. College guys have to perform where they are placed. Now for the record, Rooker is 1.6 years younger than the average age in the FSL. A good season here would place him pretty firmly on the prospect map.

    I don't thing it's been published yet. The 2012-2016 info is in here somewhere.

    I can say this... I'd rather not dumster dive for RPs this offseason. I think Hildenberger is the real thing, and I like Busenitz too, but instead of a Breslow type, go out and spend the money on a good FA. I'd be comfortable with a pen to start 2018 that consisted of Hildenberger, Busenitz, Chargois, FA, and Rogers. The manager will have options so that one guy isn't overworked. Still not sure what to do with Duffey though.

    speaking of teams not known for developing players well...
  8. diehardtwinsfan
    driving gloves?
  9. diehardtwinsfan
    now if we only had some granite underneath that sinkhole... might stop it.
  10. diehardtwinsfan
    Can someone explain to me why I'm not in bed right now?
  11. diehardtwinsfan
    and sadly, that's an upgrade... which means 5 more starts at least.
  12. diehardtwinsfan
    I thought it was a radian.
  13. diehardtwinsfan
    So... I guess that means you could identify who worked on that corner????
  14. diehardtwinsfan
    I jinxed it.
  15. diehardtwinsfan
    yeah, he's got a no hitter against us.... no hitter no hitter no hitter not a perfect game...
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    chicks dig the fast ball?
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    we may disagree on a lot of things... but not on this.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    I thought play second bat second was a rule...
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    I would like to point out that this was a lie. Lewis Thorpe is not on the mound. For some reason, we signed former Oriole's 2B Brady Anderson to pitch. Rooker is playing.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    Sounds more entertaining than the Twins-Yankees.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    No, never been to Otto and Anita's. Gustav's is a German place as well as a micro-brewery. I'm not really a beer person, but my friends always remembered the beers. I was a big fan of the swiss cheese fondue appetizer.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    I seem to remember from the beginning that this was where he was going to go. I'm fine with that. He got a 3 week wood bat tune up instead of a 2 week. Now we get to see how he handles an environment not friendly to power hitters against pitchers that are much better than rookie ball.
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    You just reminded me of one of my favorite restaurants in Portland... Sixel, ever been to Gustavs? I want to say it's in Beaverton/Tigard area.
  24. diehardtwinsfan
    Yeah, I should note that I'm fine with a trade too, if you're getting an established starter, but a guy like JDL still falls more into the depth category since he's ultimately unproven. I think Mejia at this point has earned a spot for year two. That's just me obviously, and while I agree he's been inconsistent, he's been trending better and has performed well enough. Yeah, he's not a top of the rotation guy, but he has the potential to be a better than average ML pitcher and one that could start hitting said potential in the not so distant future. That's why I want a lot of depth in AAA personally. He's still a question mark, but he's earning a longer leash.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    that's called cash considerations....
