At least he will keep the fans from dozing off in the outfield bleachers while he's on the mound....assuming the need to open the outfield bleachers this year of course.
Nice job on the post. One of the best trades in Twins history, landing Jim Perry. Vic Power was also a great trade acquisition, coming with Dick Stigman in exchange for Pedro Ramos.
You are correct that both the Yankees & Mets prospects are constantly overvalued, however Mike is correct that the Yankees do have 3 highly valued minor leaguers at this time in Volpe, Peraza and Dominguez.
Both Tony and Kitty have been criminally underappreciated by the baseball community. Along with Rod and Harmon, they were great players on some of the Twins' very best teams. Territorial bias at it's worst...
They have updated player values minutes to hours after trades to reflect the large discrepancies in returns. Check the changes in the Yankee prospects sent to Texas for Gallo among others. Fun site to provoke thought but not remotely close.
Lux pretty much raked his whole minor league career. Don't know that I'd relegate a 23 year old to the scrap heap after 400 ab's.
At any rate, I would be extremely surprised were he available with Seager scheduled for free agency this winter.
Supposedly San Diego was involved in the Cruz sweepstakes. We'll most likely never know but I am curious as to what their offer may have been. Toronto, Tampa Bay, San Diego and the Dodgers have the most appealing systems.
