Exactly. So why the emphasis in your previous post I responded to "Gibson AND Nunez for Miller" when you agree Nunez is worth very little?
-
And Nunez alone equals what for a return?
-
No, we can use the data. If his perceived value was our organization's #2 prospect 7 months ago, and now it's not perceived that way, wouldn't that be a good time to buy?
-
Unfortunately my agent negotiated a full no-trade clause just like Mauer. I'm here for life!
-
Funny how in the offseason this topic also came up, and the proposals back then were Kepler for Miller... http://twinsdaily.com/topic/20785-shelby-miller-trade/?hl=%2Bshelby+%2Bmiller
-
This year he's been bad, but where's his other year he's been terrible?
-
So Eduardo Nunez is not an .800+ OPS guy that we can rely on for 2017 and beyond? Weird. This is my shocked face that he's falling back to Earth.
-
And I'm the complete opposite. I'd deal Gibson for Miller in a heart beat.

Interesting side note about True Detective. I was at a pool party this weekend and met a guy who writes scripts for TV series. I'm not sure if he knew the creator of True Detective personally, or just heard it through the grapevine, but what he said makes a ton of sense why we saw a huge drop-off between season 1 and season 2. The whole story of Rust, Marty, and the Yellow King was written over the course of 7 years before it went to production. Then they wanted the creator to write season 2 in less than a year.. I would have been fine with waiting longer for a higher quality season 2. And now it doesn't appear they're going to get a shot for season 3.

Aroldis Chapman to the Cubs for SS Gleybar Torres. Your thoughts?
-
According to their IMDB page, this is their first big hit show. They've also done something called "Hidden" in 2015. Never heard of it. Like Pseudo said, they set it up for an unnecessary sequel, but that's really not going to happen, right? What direction could they go if there is a season 2?
-
Yes I would have no issue pulling the trigger on that. I'm not a member of the ABW Fan Club, so others may not do it.

#allBarbsMatter We'll never forget you when you're lost, Barb.

Unless there's a consensus #1 overall pick that's going to be a phenom like A-Rod, Harper, or Strasburg, I don't see the point in a baseball team tanking.
-
A real medical department has been criminally dismissed IMO. I get that rehab > surgery, but there's been way too many examples in recent years of players being more injured than they initially thought. The process of discovering their real injury seems to be dragged out longer than it should.
-
Yeah I wouldn't mind selling Gibson next season, but he's taken a step back this season where the value's not there.
-
Much more likely in my mind that Nolasco is released than traded. I guess miracles are possible and someone takes him on, but I'd put that at a ~5% chance.
-
If other teams feel that way about Nolasco then Hallelujah, let's get rid of him while we can. Plouffe if he isn't traded would have to be the bench bat the rest of the season. Playing sparingly at 3B/1B/DH if Sano/Mauer/Park needs a day off.
-
90% likely that Plouffe is traded IMO is too high. Unless it's specifically a salary dump, I don't see a team offering even a low-level prospect for him now that he's playing poorly and hurt. I'd say the same about Nolasco's trade likelihood being 55%. Again, unless it's specifically a salary dump, I don't see a team offering even a low-level prospect for him.

Fangraphs (and other national publications) on the Twins
Vanimal46 replied to Mike Sixel's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I think every single one of those pitchers mentioned in the column would need to be traded in order for anyone to consider taking on Nolasco. -
Dang it, this title was a tease. Only trade rumors, carry on.
-
A lot of fun Vikings memories with him as Head Coach. I'll always remember 15-1 in 1998 since that was my first real sports memories, and my first taste of Minnesota sports heart break.
-
Former Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals Coach Denny Green passed away this morning as a result of a heart attack. He was 67 years old. So many quotes about Denny Green over the years. The New Sheriff coming to town.... And this epic post-game melt down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWmQbk5h86w RIP Denny.

All 3 would fit in this scenario!

Another great question Mike. Mr. Brooks mentioned in another thread that perhaps Buddy is more lovable than Chargois. We think he's on to something, since we know being lovable is one of the most important traits the Twins look for in their organization. Buddy is a lovable LEFTY too! We can never have too many left handed pitchers in the rotation, or the bullpen.
