  1. Starting an inning with a runner on 2nd - not baseball.....
  2. Afraid he's a no go. Heard he was hanging out in Tibet with Sidd Finch.
  3. Would have preferred to see Baez or Story, but I've been a fan of Simmons since his Atlanta days.
  4. Strike Kluber from the list......
  5. Rumor is they think it blows............
  6. The original point was how many aces have the Twins signed/drafted/developed in their history. Both Johan and Camilo were aces in my opinion though Johan came from Houston. Both Pascual and Kaat were in the Senators organization when they moved to Minnesota but I would count them both as home grown. My error in not clarifying Pascual as an ace in my original post. Though I was a huge fan of Radke, I did not consider him an ace. Again, just my opinion. The premise is - if you wait to develop an ace, you may be in for a long wait.
  7. As an ace, certainly. Home grown - probably not.
  8. How many aces have the Twins home grown in 60 years of baseball? Kaat, Blyleven and Viola by my count. You could stretch it to include Santana (originally an Astro) and Pascual (pre arm trouble). Home grown aces occur infrequently, thus all acquisition avenues have to be examined. I too would not include Balazovic, Larnach, Kirilloff or Lewis in a deal for Snell. Possibly a package built around Duran or Garver. If the Twins' farm is as deep as believed there is significant value beyond the top four or five.
  9. 1 - Harmon Killebrew 2 - Rod Carew 3 - Tony Oliva 4 - Kirby Puckett 5 - Jim Kaat 6 - Johan Santana 7 - Kent Hrbek 8 - Bert Blyleven 9 - Joe Mauer 10 - Cesar Tovar 11 - .......etc.
  10. If you could only add Hank Izquierdo's two doubles together....
  11. An optimist might say that's halfway to Brad Hand.
  12. Yeah. For those that buy into Baseball Trade Values (personally I believe they are quite flawed), an equally valued package from the Twins would have been Duran, Wade and Gordon. Additions of Thorpe, Smeltzer, Cave etc. would have created a surplus from Twins....
  13. My thoughts exactly when I first read the MLBTR article. They apparently missed the eligible MILB players.
  14. 1- Nathan 2 - Aguilera 3 - Worthington 4 - Perranoski 5 - Campbell
  15. Have to agree with Seth on this one. Braun over Soderholm. Tovar and Ford are close - I probably take Cesar's 1970-1971 over Dan but to each his own on that one.
  16. 1 - Blyleven 2 - Santana 3 - Kaat 4 - Perry 5 - Pascual 6 - Viola
  17. 1 - Harmon 2 - Rod 3 - Joe 4 - Justin 5 - Zoilo
  18. I often wonder if the series might have turned out differently had Pascual not run into arm problems. And even though Harmon had a good series, he too was not at full strength after the elbow dislocation. If's and buts....
  19. Certainly Gagne, Gaetti and Tovar but also Al Worthington, Camilo Pascual & Dave Boswell.
  20. Agree with order but on any given day I would flip Rod and Harmon. 10th spot? Would have loved to see Lyman's career play out in Minnesota. Smalley would merit some consideration.
