    Drew Pomeranz is also rumored to be expendable for Boston too. Do you like Bucholz more than Pomeranz?

    I know what the Twins coaching staff is getting for Christmas!!! http://www.timberdoodle.com/v/vspfiles/photos/680-Spanish-2.jpg

    That and Soler has been hurt quite a bit throughout his career. He would get hot for a bit, hit a few HRs, then land on the DL. Knowing how they've built their team the last couple of years, I'm surprised they felt Soler was their guy. Someone with more defensive flexibility like Almora makes more sense for them.
  4. Vanimal46
    I want them both traded this off-season.
  5. Vanimal46
    Davis to the Cubs makes a lot of sense. No idea why the Royals are in love with Soler, but good luck to them.

    75 years.... crazy. We took a family vacation to Hawaii and toured Pearl Harbor. It was surreal seeing how small of a base it is, and hard to envision the terror that occurred on this day.

    Never imagined Ramos in a Rays uniform. I like the gamble by them.

    Pomeranz was relegated to the bullpen from 2013-2015 and did pretty well last year back in the rotation. Sounds like someone we could estimate pitching 180-200 innings next year if he's on some team's rotation. With Santana it's simply selling high after a good season, and getting out of the contract before that comes to bite the Twins. I think it's pretty risky to anticipate another great season from him. 34 years old, a lot of wear and tear on that arm, and a couple of clunker seasons in his past. Full disclosure, my ulterior motive is to find suitable trade partners for both Dozier and Ervin this offseason.
  9. Vanimal46
    I understand this argument. However, prospects traded away for Pomeranz could be replaced with other prospects obtained from an Ervin Santana trade.
  10. Vanimal46
    He's got 2 arb seasons left. Was making $1.35 MM in 2016... So he's probably on the same projection as Gibson? Maybe $3-4 mill for 2017 and who knows in 2018.
  11. Vanimal46
    Much more interested in Pomeranz than Buchholz. Jorge or Stewart + someone else for Pomeranz. Let's make it happen!
  12. Vanimal46
    At this point, yes. Which is why he's about to fetch a solid return of players right now. The potential trade return will decrease the longer he remains on the Twins.
  13. Vanimal46
    Sorry, couldn't disagree more with this take. Everything you've pointed it as exactly why he's valuable and should be traded now. He was awful the first 2 months of 2016. Along with being awful the last 3 months in 2015. He's far too inconsistent to be a reliable force in the lineup. Luckily he went on a historic tear at the plate to recoup his value. If on the odd chance he's not traded, is there any expectation he will resign with the Twins in 2 years? Will the Twins be able to afford a 31 year old 2B $18-20 million a season? Both sound very unlikely.
  14. Vanimal46
    When there's this much smoke, there's gotta be a fire soon for Dozier. I think he's gone by the end of the week.
  15. Vanimal46
    Dozier + Stewart to the Pirates for SP Jameson Taillon and potentially another prospect.
  16. Vanimal46
    I would wear this shirt on a daily basis.... Someone start a kick starter right now!
  17. Vanimal46
    The other 2 prospects included in the trade is 20 year old Luis Basabe who already has a big K problem in A ball, and Victor Diaz, 22 year old RP with a big fastball and not much else.
  18. Vanimal46
    Would you be willing to say they had a.... FIRE Sale?? http://www.socialwelfareagency.org/Public/Graphics/GIFs/CSI_Miami.gif
  19. Vanimal46
    Still 3 months left to go... One can hope they'll trade Moncada to the Reds for Joey Votto or some other expensive veteran out there.
  20. Vanimal46
    It's still very early in the FA period, so that may ring true... But as of late, it's been pretty quiet on Joey Bats rumors. If he doesn't have any real offers on the table, I would hope the Twins jump in to offer a contract.
  21. Vanimal46
    Wow, this is a hell of a trade. Kudos to the Red Sox for continuing to be aggressive.
  22. Vanimal46
    Is that a bad thing? Quite frankly I'm not sold on either of those guys anyway.
  23. Vanimal46
    Never trust the word of a GM... Especially this time of year when it's all SCORCHING hot rumors.
  24. Vanimal46
    Money talks... The Twins were a 103 loss team.... And who says Bautista has to move his family to Minnesota?
  25. Vanimal46
    That's what I'm thinking too... Sign him to a 1 year deal, hope he hits 20-25 bombs by July, then flip him for someone further along in their development than the 2nd round pick will be. If his presence helps the Twins win more games in 2017, even better.
