Official Twins Daily July Trade Deadline Thread

Per mlbtraderumors we're more in the Craig Breslow market than Craig Kimbrel -
They Couldn’t. Could They…?
lukeduke1980 replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
If you're dealing with the Padres would it be worth trying to get Justin Upton? We still need offense too, he's only a rental obviously... -
Not sure about that - Berrios and his almost 1 strikeout per inning does not conform to the 'Twins Way'; Bowden's career mlb rate is a much more comfortable 6.7 k/9
-
Joe Benson turned 27 years old yesterday. We have plenty of Tier 2 guys who should be able to be considered for bullpen help. Casey Fien is not the guy.

Brewers are glad to take our outfielders we've given up too early on... -
Are The Twins Buyers Or Sellers?
lukeduke1980 replied to Brandon Warne's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
It didn't seem like the Tigers gave up a ton for David Price last year - see what's available for the right, um, price -
Jorge Polanco--Shortstop of the Present or the Future?
lukeduke1980 replied to stringer bell's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I still didn't mind seeing Santana in CF the other day - DFA 31 year old Robinson and see if CF lets Santana relax a little at the plate. Let Esco play short for this year and trade him for something then Polanco -
Someone will come out of the rotation - May might be the best candidate, maybe can get his fastball up to 96 or so regularly when only throwing an inning at a time. Other suggestions?
-
And we should be adding May to the Pen soon when Ervin returns(?)

Buxton's done. Stick a fork in him.
lukeduke1980 replied to USAFChief's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Can we ask the other teams AA pitchers to throw some breaking balls when he goes back down? Seems like they've been just feeding him fastballs, you know, to get our hopes up -
I think go with Mauer Buxton Dozier Plouffe Rosario Hunter Vargas Suzuki Escobar Leave Santana, Arcia in AAA until they figure something out; keep Kepler and Polanco in the minors so we have some unexposed prospects.

There's another part to this Mauer tale, which is the improvement of the AL Central, especially the Kansas City Royals. Mauer destroyed the Royals when they were the AL Central bottom feeders, and padded the heck out of his stats. I'm sure most great players have done this against the poorest teams, but check the stats. I think he slugged over 1.000 annually against the Royals; now the Royals are better as is pitching across the board.
