    You’re up one day… the next you’re down. It’s a half an inch of water and you think you’re gonna drown.
  2. Post-Concussive Blues
    Thank goodness we got him! No need for any trades today, our team is now complete!
  3. Post-Concussive Blues
    I wish Sano well. I don’t think he’ll be a superstar or anything, but I hope he makes the roster and has a productive season.
  4. Post-Concussive Blues
    How about Luzardo and Josh Bell for Polanco, Brooks Lee, and Jair Camargo? Twins would get the pitcher we all covet, and a RHH that can hit LHP at a respectable rate. Bell is a somewhat volatile hitter, and is paid $16.5 million this year. He has negative value, and this would bring down the cost for the Twins. Miami would get Lee and Camargo, as they need high end middle infield and catcher depth, respectively. Polanco would help them this year and next, and his salary would be offset by Bell’s. They could move Arraez to 1B with Bell gone, making room for Polanco. While this seems expensive to me, Luzardo would make our team better for the next three years, and the trade would clear our middle infield logjam. I like Lee a lot, but he may be redundant with our current prospects and roster, and prospects are still suspects—no guarantee he pans out.

    I don’t think the new broadcast deal will produce anywhere near the same revenue as the old one, and I doubt the Twins will be spending significant money on free agents this year. Otherwise, great, sign Hoskins!
  6. Post-Concussive Blues
    I don’t think Milwaukee would take this trade. But I sure would!
  7. Post-Concussive Blues
    I don’t think the Mets would need to pay down his salary to make this trade from their end, but I see why the Twins need salary relief. We could issue a Qualifying Offer at the end of next season when Alonso walks.
  8. Post-Concussive Blues
    Maybe Houston would want Vasquez if we pay half his salary.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/11/astros-trade-rumors-jake-meyers.html I like Jake Meyers. Very good defender with offensive upside. Still relatively young, coming off injury, and buried by depth on the Astros. He is cheap and controllable, and would be a great CF option for us. Worst case he is a back up CF/4th outfielder. I think the Astros might seek out relief pitching in return—MLB ready paired with a prospect? Maybe Alcala and SWR? What would be a fair trade?
  10. Post-Concussive Blues
    Too bad we couldn’t add “Laser Ramòn” with his cannon arm and excellent nickname.

    I don’t think they would x-ray something that wasn’t causing pain during an exit physical, so broken hardware wouldn’t be diagnosed until he had extensive review before signing a new contract.
  13. Post-Concussive Blues
    I suspect he broke a screw or loosened the hardware on that awkward slide last season. This would explain why he passed his physical when the Twins signed him last year, and why he can’t pass a physical this year—this would be a new x-ray finding. He doesn’t have any ongoing symptoms or limitations currently, so there is no indication for an operation to remove the hardware and introduce surgical risk at this time, but there is concern for future instability and need for operative management. Alternatively, this was a known concern last year, and why he settled for the contract that he did.
  14. Post-Concussive Blues
    Great trade. I’m fine with letting go a high risk, high reward, often injured, probable relief pitcher for a proven good starting pitcher on a favorable contract. The money coming our way would nearly completely offset the Maeda contract if we cut him tomorrow, but more likely, it keeps the door open for a trade deadline acquisition. Raley has upside, but he’s 25 years old and our 4th best corner OF/1B prospect.
  15. Post-Concussive Blues
    Dang, I want this to go through.
  16. Post-Concussive Blues
    He’s a great pitcher, and his long, affordable contract makes him so valuable. This was a great deal. Fans saying that we should have “gotten an ace” for Graterol should follow that up with an actual example of aces with multiple years of control being traded for single, possibly relief prospects. There aren’t any.
  17. Post-Concussive Blues
    Great deal. Maeda is a cheap stud controlled for three more years. Graterol is a relief prospect whose arm is about to fall off.
  18. Post-Concussive Blues
    This is great, but I think you missed my favorite: Josh Donaldson vs. his own manager, John Gibbons: https://youtu.be/99dhn2K0bcQ The incident isn’t amazing, but the after game interview is awesome: https://youtu.be/H2VY2xRUGuM
  19. Post-Concussive Blues
    I wonder if his shoulder is still a problem, and teams aren’t giving him a major league contract that he is seeking.
  20. Post-Concussive Blues
    I put the over/under on HR for 2nd Base at 5, and Arraez will still win the batting title.
  21. Post-Concussive Blues
    I’m so excited for baseball! Our line up is going to crush it!
  22. Post-Concussive Blues
    If we sign Hamels and Bumgarner, we will have an awesome rotation for Fantasy Baseball in 2012! But seriously, Hamels would be a great addition to our staff, probably similar to Odorizzi last year.
  23. Post-Concussive Blues
    Way to finish the season strong, overcoming injuries. I’m excited Rosario is getting hot again.
  24. Post-Concussive Blues
    That seems about right. I don’t know if Hildenberger will have enough time to regain his spot—he didn’t get called back up yet—so I’d sub him for Thorpe so we have another lefty. Romo is a RHP.
  25. Post-Concussive Blues
    I think that is a reasonable offer. One benefit of acquiring him now (or this winter) would be that he can receive a qualifying offer next offseason. That goes away if he is traded during his contract year, right?
