    Hard for the Astros to claim these intriguing arms when the Twins are ahead of them in the waiver wire pecking order!
  2. Vanimal46
    Very well said, Bird. What's also negated from the article is the Astros' rotation has been decimated by injury. Keuchel has missed the last month of action. McHugh was lost for the season. Charlie Morton has been injured since late May. Throwing all of these prospects against the wall and see who sticks was most certainly not a part of their plan for this season.

    Pressly can be sent down again. I just don't see him turning things around this year. This may not be a popular opinion, but I could also see a case for Duffey getting sent down to regroup. 15 ER in his last 15 IP is a cause for concern.
  4. Vanimal46
    On a positive note, at least Nolasco and his 23 HRs allowed isn't on the team anymore!
  5. Vanimal46
    Who might that be?

    Let's all appreciate Sano by watching him hit monster home runs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec-aGr-G0jM

    Winners!

    Reed is starting to pitch pretty well in Rochester with 4 scoreless outings without issuing a walk. Granted he hasn't pitched in back to back games yet, but he's trending up. Hopefully he'll get the call soon.

    Nothing makes you feel old as dirt than talking about players born in 2001.... Good lord.
  10. Vanimal46
    Really unfortunate. He was supposed to be on the fast track to the majors after switching back to the bullpen. Good luck to him on his recovery.

    As teenagers, it was always a race between me and my brother for the leftovers in the fridge. As brothers do, we would fight over the last slice of leftover pizza, dessert, etc.

    Reed is finding his groove in Rochester! 2 more scoreless appearances. 6/26 1.1 IP - 2 H - 1 K - 0 BB - 1 save - 22 pitches 15 strikes 7/1 1.2 IP - 0 H - 1 K - 0 BB - 19 pitches 13 strikes

    Good luck Bark! Wish I could be there to see you play.
  14. Vanimal46
    Sums up my thoughts perfectly. Hopefully this is the start of many All-Star seasons for Sano.
  15. Vanimal46
    I would be very disappointed too. We're on the same page trying to target at least a 2 with multiple years of control.
  16. Vanimal46
    It's been a fun read the last couple of pages with discussions on both sides of the fence. I've been leaning more toward contending now and next year by trading prospects for established pitching.... Frankly I'm tired of moving the goalposts for contention!

    Seth wrote a tidbit about Garver in today's Article "Four-Bagger: Jorge, Gordon, Garver, and Bullpen Arms" "Wednesday afternoon, Mitch Garver went 2-5. On the season, he is now hitting .278/.387/.486 (.873) with 16 doubles and seven homers. He now has a 14-game hitting streak. He caught on Wednesday, but he has also played five games at first base and now six games in left field. With Jason Castro signed for three years, and Chris Gimenez playing more than expected, Garver becoming more versatile can only make him more valuable to the team."

    Gordon would be who I dangle as a feature piece. Fill in the rest with other prospects.
  19. Vanimal46
    The Nationals, in an attempt to fix their tire fire bullpen, signed former Twins great Kevin Jepsen to a minor league deal.
  20. Vanimal46
    I just don't see a match to trade Dozier. I understand it makes the most sense to trade him and keep Gordon. The 2B market just isn't there as we saw this offseason. At least Gordon can still project as a SS right now, and is a top 50 prospect in the MLB. It would suck losing him, but now may be the right time to sell him for an established MLB SP with multiple years of control.
  21. Vanimal46
    Well, the hot rumors are Jose Quintana, Sonny Gray, and Gerrit Cole as far as pitchers with multiple years of control. There could be more as the hot stove heats up in July. It appeared that they had other things to focus on last off-season instead of trading for established starting pitching... Trying to trade away Dozier, building up the analytics team, etc. We'll see what they do this off-season and/or in July.
  22. Vanimal46
    I get the frustration. But, there's nothing that's stopping this team from trading some of these players for top end pitching talent.
  23. Vanimal46
    I'd prefer the quality over quantity method this year. Marte sounds solid. Hope they can sign him to a deal.
  24. Vanimal46
    My assumption is they didn't think it was a risk to do so, and don't have plans of calling him up in 6 weeks. If he cleared waivers, great! You have another org warrior to fill out the roster. If he was claimed by a bad team, good luck to him.
  25. Vanimal46
    I like the fact that Levine said they're open to being aggressive trading for MLB assets with multiple years of control. That would be exactly what I, and I'm sure others, would want to improve the pitching. I've been beating this drum for a little while now. This organization has a surplus of middle IF prospects and players. Target a SP like Gray, Cole, Quintana, etc. and sell off some prospects to get an established SP.
