  1. Do they think the Mets suddenly have Trout? Cause that’s the only player I’d do that for.
  2. TV guys talked to Dustin Morse, he’s coming to Chicago. Was mentioned on air. LaTroy didn’t think he would and neither did I.
  3. Fine for me as a second or third add. Need to get at least one BP guy better.
  4. Hard to judge with Kirilloff, as wrist injuries can mess with an entire season.
  5. As would I. Boyd-Greene is my number one choice due to Boyd. Greene is alright but I want a better reliever than him as well in a different trade. Wheeler-Lugo would be my second choice.
  6. This is what gets me I don't remember if it was here I read it or elsewhere but someone said they don't trust him in high leverage situations and I completely agree. Even more so after seeing the stats. When he's up in an important situation I always am waiting for which kind of K it will be (looking, swinging and my favorite the check swing K). I never think he's going to homer or do anything good.
  7. With the amount of control left, wouldn't surprise me if it cost Lewis AND Kirilloff. Otherwise, one of Lewis/Kirilloff, Graterol and Larnach? Maybe someone else too.
  8. Thats what you'd want him to be, but that may not be who he is anymore. Who are you pushing out of the 1/2 for him? Berrios or Odo? Shouldn't be Berrios, and so far, shouldn't be Odo either. If Odo can't keep this up and regressed hard then sure Bumgarner would be the 2. I don't think Odo is going to regress so hard that that's going to happen. Bumgarner has been the "NL Kyle Gibson" since 2017. If he was 2014 to 2016 Bumgarner then I'd have zero issues, but he hasn't been that guy in a long time. Maybe he just needs a tweak and it can revert him back to that guy but I'm not counting on it.
  9. I have zero issue trading Graterol, but would strongly prefer it to be for someone who's not a rental. I'm not a big Bumgarner guy either. He's a 3/4 on this team. I want them to aim higher than that.
  10. "•The Twins have released righthander Dusten Knight for a violation of team policy. Knight was a hit on social media this season because he liked to do back flips after notching saves; in seven games, he had posted a 1.59 ERA and three saves. Knight, 28, was selected by the Twins in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft last December from the Giants organization." http://www.startribune.com/twins-bullpen-shows-off-its-versatility/509490352/
  11. I remember reading one many years ago on Fangraphs that said the only thing that usually translated (not 100% of the time though, obviously) was K% and BB% for both hitters and pitchers.
  12. I was thinking he deserved 500-550M so this is a nice discount for the team.
  13. Game wasn't on tv and I don't think it was on radio either so we won't know unless someone reports it. That being said, teams were throwing breaking stuff to him in previous games.
  14. How did I forget that quote? It was weird. Ok, so Levine was there but we don't know when. If it was pre-mid January then there should have been nothing to see because it apparently didn't happen until after the league was done (mid to late January?).
  15. Rocco visited him in December. Sano didn't play in the winter league until January and this allegedly happened after he was all done playing so mid-January to late January? I don't remember when he was done playing but it was way after Rocco was there. I don't know about a Falvey visit, if there was one.
  16. No strikeouts. One walk. I don't think anyone keeps track of swings and misses in spring training so couldn't tell you on that one. I didn't see the full game yesterday but I do remember one swing and miss. He doesn't seem to be flailing at pitches so far, like he usually does. Baseball reference has his opposition quality at AAA level so far this spring. Oh, and Gladden asked him about working with coaches and he did say he is working with and listening to coaches during spring training.
  17. I don't care really but found this interesting. Looks like you'll have to click the tweet because the image doesn't come through well apparently. Anyway, it is Magill's swinging strike rates.
  18. Not that I necessarily disagree but subtract 5 HRs and 13 RBI if Niko were still a Twin. He dominated us. He did well against some other teams but didn't have double digit RBI vs any other team and his next highest HR total against other teams was 2. He also was double digits in runs vs the Twins, which he didn't do against other teams either. So you were probably going to get less from Niko as a Twin unless he would have dominated the Tigers like he did the Twins. I'm happy to have Marwin though. He was someone I wanted signed this offseason and I'm surprised it happened.
  19. He wants to be a dad only for the first year, minus charity stuff. https://www.twincities.com/2019/02/12/joe-mauer-gets-out-of-the-house-to-drop-puck-for-wild-game/
  20. Cave probably has earned it, but he has options and I'm intrigued by Reed. Would be nice to find another Cave or possibly/hopefully even better (more walks). Being a RH bat helps too.
  21. He's worth that in a trade but I don't want to because of the position. To give up talent AND money for a catcher is hard for me. We saw what happened to Mauer from a foul tip. It was depressing to move him to another position and he was never the same offensively. I am/was all for giving out money to a FA C (would have really liked Grandal). That way if he goes down it's only money and not money plus top prospects.
  22. Probably is talking about the one that was reported before the trade. Don't believe specifics were mentioned in the article but just that they talked to him about it.
