  1. Who is going to buy those players and give us anything in return to help us the rest of the season? A team rebuilding will want prospects in return for MLB players, and a team in the hunt is going to be looking for better.
  2. Where do we play Lee in the future?
  3. If Lewis is prone to that injury then it will be a problem for him wherever he plays and wherever he walks.
  4. You must’ve seen your reflection in his armor
  5. Next summer let’s plan a house swap over Lolla weekend
  6. I didn’t know Ozzie was an outfielder!
  7. Next weekend my neighborhood is playing host to Lollapalooza. Not looking forward to the people or the noise
  8. I give @wsnydes credit for ninja-ing me
  9. I know … just didn’t feel like deleting or edited with a ninja’d
  10. And I’m not gobsmacked you’re not gobsmacked
  11. Obviously the word of the day ... will it become a thread theme? Time will tell. I'm gobsmacked Chief is gobsmacked.
  12. Well, I was referring to trade deadline as I thought that's what this thread was about. Makes for a confusing discussion when some are talking about trade deadline and some talking about the off-season. I took your comments to be about trade deadline.
  13. Polanco - no, I don't think it is. We'd be selling low if we did. He can play 3rd for the short term. Who knows when Lewis will return. But his bat will be nice to have. I have been saying for weeks to trade or DFA one or both of them, so no, I won't be hurt, and that's not at all what I said. However, Kepler's bat has been good of late, so he still has some value to us. But Gallo? I have never said to keep him. My initial comments about 'disappointed' was trading Larnach or Kepler. Buxton isn't being traded anywhere. I wish people would get that out of their heads. Correa at SS, absolutely. Have you seen him play? Good Lord, it would be foolish to move him off SS this year and probably the next couple of years. Lee will be at 3rd and Lewis will be in the OF or 2nd base, in coming years. But we are talking about this year. Correa is the SS this year. Lee will not see the majors this year. Has he even been moved up to AAA yet? And nowhere have I ever stated that it's just good enough to get to the playoffs. But we are a playoff team, thanks to a weak division. But we have the pitching to do well. And I think with a rh bat and another GOOD reliever, we can win some games. Will we win it all? Doubtful. But I don't think we will get our butts kicked in round 1, either. We will if we trade away half the team and move Correa off SS.
  14. I think we have a playoff team. Yes, I know ... weak division, blah blah blah ... but I think we are playoff bound. And I think we have the pitching to win a few games. And if our offense keeps up, we have a team. Another reliable relief pitcher and a right-handed bat ... that's it. World Series bound? Doubtful. But, I think we have a playoff team. Dumping everyone now, as you suggested in an earlier post, I think would be very foolhardy. Trading away everyone to make a splash at one position ... nope. I don't know when, but not this year.
  15. This has me torn, actually. Kepler is hitting now so it makes him valuable to us for right now (imo, despite Brock's borderline irrational dislike.) But I don't want to move on from Wallner or Larnach, either. Gallo would be the one to move, but he won't bring back much at this point. So ... what to do? I think whatever they do might have me disappointed, especially if it doesn't work out. So maybe the best thing is to do nothing?
  16. Buxton on paternity list, Larnach recalled. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-byron-buxton-goes-on-paternity-leave/
  17. I find it a bit concerning. It would be bad to not sign their #1 pick
