    That was an underwhelming return for Stroman... An offer the Twins could have easily beat. Doesn't make me hopeful that an impact trade is on the horizon.

    Considering the state of the bullpen I wouldn't trust them to shut it down for 4 playoff innings.
  3. Vanimal46
    Not sure if you've noticed, but the Twins have AAA starters filling in the bullpen, along with a 36 year old breathing placeholder. There's opportunity for a cheap flyer like Diekman.

    Thor sounds like a classic instant fix if he goes to an organization that switches his pitch mix. I don't know why he's not throwing the slider more... Possibly a fear of getting injured again? That pitch is nasty, and a smart, more analytically driven organization than the Mets is going to get a steal.

    Concur. Don't see a major upgrade over guys currently in the rotation. The K's are sexy but the walks are a problem. I don't think he lasts beyond the 5th inning in a playoff game.

    Blanco is a 26 year old "speed" guy in AA, the other is a 20 year old in rookie ball.

    I don't see #Twins on any recent tweets... Sigh.

    He's only 35! Plenty of time to make the original signing worth it.

    Out of the 3 pending free agents he's #1 on my priority list to sign this off-season as it stands today. Big Mike Odorizzi Gibson

    Mi-So Hot! http://ramen-tatsuya.com/menu/

    It's possible our Mike could also be a Big Mike! How tall does a Mike need to be in order to earn the name Big Mike by the way?
  12. Vanimal46
    I'm warming up to big Mike! That slider's looking good.
  13. Vanimal46
    I would do this trade.
  14. Vanimal46
    Lucky! I got a P*TBNL *Present
  15. Vanimal46
    Didn't realize he was DFA'd either. Whoops!
  16. Vanimal46
    I read yesterday San Francisco wasn't selling? Please advise.
  17. Vanimal46
    Couldn't agree more. Let's get this done.
  18. Vanimal46
    Sounds like his time with the team will be coming to an end.
  19. Vanimal46
    Candlelight vigil starts at 12 PM... Even though the threads got heated at times, I learned a lot from our community members over the years. I'll miss them.
  20. Vanimal46
    I recall old friend Phil Hughes being offered from the Yankees. Don't remember the other people included in that package.
  21. Vanimal46
    I was. But the Twins were never 11 games under .500 at any point during the years I wanted them to add.
  22. Vanimal46
    There were Twins fans too that wanted to add. If the Giants stand pat it's only going to make their rebuild more painful. They were 11 games under 500 through the first 80 games. That doesn't sound like a team ready to make a final run.
  23. Vanimal46
    Couple of things... 180 innings is a lofty goal for any SP. I'd be curious to know how many SP today are on pace to match or eclipse that. If he continues to get injured and miss time, he's not making $20+ million in arbitration. And the Johan trade was screwed from the get go because the past regime refused to trade him in the same league. There were much better offers available from the Yankees and Red Sox at the time but TR didn't want to do the deals.
  24. Vanimal46
    I have read this on more than one occasion about San Francisco's status here, and I disagree very much. It took going 16-4 this month in order to say they're above .500 by one game. Why on Earth would they value a 20 game hot streak over the first 80 games when they were a terrible baseball team? Would you advocate the Twins keeping their players if they were in the same situation? I'm willing to bet, because we saw this in 2015/2017, there would be articles here not to buy into the hot streak and sell.

    I believe he's starting his rehab program in the GCL soon, if not now.
