    Some names I'd forgotten in there, like Alex Burnett and Jeff Manship. Did Garza retire?
  2. Shaitan
    I'd consider Dozier on this list. Maybe Garver in a couple more years. Kubel gets an honorable mention.

    As the "all '80s threads" show, it's possible to be very successful by trading established players. There is no perfect plan; rather every situation is different. That said, I would personally would not trade an established starter to make way for a player in AA unless they are a Joe Mauer-level prospect. But there are variables (injury histories, budget, personality, etc).
  4. Shaitan
    I hope a pitching list is coming soon too. I'd also like to see lists of who the Twins hitters and/or pitchers perform against exceptionally well.
  5. Shaitan
    I think I'd take Santana over Pressly. Nice work.
  6. Shaitan
    I think this hinges on what happens in the minors this year. I can't see the team banking on a prospect if they didn't get their development time in 2020.
  7. Shaitan
    I don't think Revere played much RF for the Twins, though. Wasn't that post-trade (or is my memory off)?
  8. Shaitan
    It falls right in line with all the other video game-level stupid ideas they've suggested to "spice up the game" in recent years.
  9. Shaitan
    If they keep the 2019 baseball, yes.

    This is only semi-related (but the minor league pay forum is locked), but this is my favorite baseball story of the week https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/04/shin-soo-choo-donate-thousand-dollars-rangers-minor-leaguers.html

    Felix Jorge cut by Cincinnatti https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/04/reds-release-junichi-tazawa-chris-volstad-felix-jorge.html

    That's not really what unions do. As others have noted, many players have publicly donated and it's very likely that others have privately done so.
  13. Shaitan
    I wonder if there will be any league-wide waiver wire action during the 29-man period, or just a rush when it goes down to 26.
  14. Shaitan
    I imagine all the minor league signings will stick on the roster until it's determined if there is a Spring Training 2.0.
  15. Shaitan
    Do RBIs matter more than ever, now that we live in the Strikeout Era?
  16. Shaitan
    If Cole is injured, no team other the Yankees could afford that financial loss. That said, it really is a fine line. What is "too much"? That's in the eye of the beholder, as you suggest by mentioning a Berrios extension. But why would Berrios sign a "reasonable" extension when he knows he can break the bank in FA? I agree that it's unfeasible for the Twins to ever give a long-term (5 years+) contract to a FA pitcher because of the risk. But hopefully something will change in insurance policies or revenue sharing that somehow changes that. It's probably wishful thinking. But for now the Twins have to focus on developing pitchers, which isn't a bad strategy at all. For every Verlander and Scherzer, there are more Archers and Kazmirs and Lirianos who peak for 2-3 seasons and fade (or suffer injuries).

    Personally, I'd love a 300 game season. I'm well aware that the players wouldn't.
  18. Shaitan
    I'm not a Boras fan, but he's just doing his job here. Which is to advocate for what gets his clients the biggest paycheck. He knows this won't happen. It's a starting point for negotiations.
  19. Shaitan
    What about Kubel v. Rivera? Or maybe that was late 2000s. edit: Okay, it was at Yankee Stadium. Not a walk off. Good memories in here.
  20. Shaitan
    I'm lukewarm on Gleeman's work as a whole, but I enjoyed that.
  21. Shaitan
    I think it's a stretch to call Lewis a CF prospect at this point. Especially considering that this series didn't list Sano as a backup 3B option.
  22. Shaitan
    I expect it to be Eddie's last year because the kids will be ready and that's how it works. But I worry that the team will miss his attitude almost more than his bat.
  23. Shaitan
    I don't disagree with any of the premise here. It's one of the reasons I like this front office. But I'm also fascinated about how franchises continue to change. We praise Cleveland now (and we should) for their pitcher development in the 2010s. But we're also dismissing them as a competitor for 2020 -- so what happened?
  24. Shaitan
    As a lot of my new fangled devices don't have AM, this is good news.
  25. Shaitan
    If I want to see that I'll go to a minor league game. I want to see players who are succeeding or fulfilling their potential.
