    I think Meyer had a great July. That is pretty clear by his numbers... except for the walks. When I saw the walks, I understood why he was a honorable mention rather than the top 5 (remember, this is just for the month, not overall prospect rating). All the guys on the honorable mentions list had really months. That's very encouraging. It's great that 4 out of 5 have an ERA under 2.00 (I know ERA isn't a great stat), but it's even more encouraging that all of them had a WHIP under 1.0. I'm excited to see how these guys progress.

    I think that I'd give him a B+ as well. I like the Milone/Fuld trade. The Suzuki extension is fine. It's never going to really be any sort of burden for the team. I thought they missed an opportunity to trade Duensing. There were teams out there that were looking for left handed relievers, but it's not a big enough issue to knock TR too much. He's a guy that could still go in August. Willingham didn't seem to have a lot of suitors, but if some team like the Yankees finds that they still need some outfield power, an August trade is still pretty likely. Overall, good trade deadline for the team. Good, not great.

    I have a feeling that Pelfrey isn't making the rotation next year. I could see him landing as a bullpen guy.
  4. James
    True, but there was so much going on today that I could see the talking heads ignoring it until after the big name trades were official. That's all. You're right though. I'm leaning towards no other trades were made by the Twins today.
  5. James
    No Twins trade would generate enough buzz to get through all the buzz of every other trade that just happened in the past two hours today. I wouldn't be surprised if something happened and hasn't been announced yet. I also wouldn't be surprised if the Twins didn't move anyone else besides Fuld.
  6. James
    I was just thinking that there may be a few more trades that get announced after the deadline passed. Anything involving a Twins player is going to take a backseat to this Price deal.

    Kevin Kaduk: Wow, this is crazy. Austin Jackson getting pulled with a 2-2 count with one out in the seventh. That is weird.
  8. James
    Sounds like Austin Jackson to Seattle and Smyly somewhere. Tampa gets Nick Franklin.

    Billy on the phone with JR: "I need Duensing right now. Anything you want, just take it."
  10. James
    Super Crazy day.
  11. James
    Makes sense. Tampa doesn't have enough prospects to land Duensing by themselves.
  12. James
    It sounds like there may be a three team trade between the Mariners, Tigers and Rays for Price. Crazy day!
  13. James
    Not only in on Price, but appear to be the front runners.
  14. James
    This whole trade deadline has really destroyed my productivity at work today. I should have taken a vacation day.
  15. James
    I'd have to imagine there have been a few calls about Duensing. I think Bastardo is still out there too, but there aren't a ton of LHR out there.
  16. James
    I suppose 3/18 isn't actually bad. I would probably give him that too. At that salary, he could be a trade candidate at the end of that deal as well, and the pay is low enough that you could justify him being a backup at that point.
  17. James
    When it was first reported, the other team wasn't listed. It now looks like he was acquired by the Nationals.
  18. James
    No. I wouldn't give him a 3rd year unless it was a team option.
  19. James
    The Braves are also out on Andrew Miller. Maybe they have TR on the phone talking about Duensing right now? I know, not the same level of pitcher, but Atlanta needs a LHR and are probably looking for a cheaper option.
  20. James
    And Asdrubal Cabrera is apparently gone...
  21. James
    Yeah, but this deadline has been very active and fun. The August trade deadline is usually a little more low key.
  22. James
    I agree, it probably would be an overpay. But, the Twins are probably not going to be spending much money elsewhere during that time, so is there any problem with overpaying a bit?
  23. James
    I'm pretty sure that most teams put most of their players on trade waivers every August. Most of good players probably get claimed and pulled off of waivers again and no one ever hears about it. There's no penalty for putting a guy like Nolasco on trade waivers. Maybe someone offers you something great, but not very likely. If a team makes a claim and they aren't serious, you pull them back off of waivers and nothing happens. No big deal.
  24. James
    I need to learn how to read. For some reason I thought it said "getting close". Damn this Lysdexia.
  25. James
    And it sounds like the Cards have acquired Lackey. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/07/cardinals-acquire-john-lackey.html
