    I'd do this: Belisle Curtiss De Jong (but I assume they won't and hope they at least make him a RP) Duffey Santana Slegers Wilson Astudillo Forsythe (I wouldn't hate bringing him back on a one year deal, but it'd be like my plan E for 2B) Morrison Field Granite Grossman That seems like a lot but that's what I'd want. Then I'd want them to go hard after a C and a SP better than Berrios/Gibson. I want Escobar back too. I'd also want Machado, but I don't see it ever happening.

    Yes, I think they could be .500 at the end of the season which is pretty good considering all the things that didn't go well this season. They're playing their best baseball this season in this last month and a half or so (wins and losses wise). That being said, the best I see them doing is 80 wins. I'd prefer them to focus on giving all the future core as much playing time as possible, whether those players suck or not. I'd also prefer to get the higher draft pick while doing that. That's not to say I want the players to try and suck. I don't want the players to purposely tank and I hope that's never a players mentality. They can play well and still lose. It's baseball. A pitcher could throw a no hitter and the team can still lose. I want the core to do well and still lose, being .500 does nothing for me personally. They won't make the playoffs either way so the feeling is the same for me. If they win, it doesn't bother me and I'm still happy about it. So I can't really lose either way..

    It was reported that he was offered an extension. Why would a beat writer lie when it's very easy to go to Escobar to confirm it? I'm sure there are ways where beat guys and others who report on the team try to make the team better than they are, but I have an extremely hard time believing this is one of those times. There's zero benefit for the Twins to lie about it. It would make them look very bad.

    I don't think anyone wants the players to pack it in, it's just if they lose it's a good thing. We, or at least me, still want the players to try. If they try and fail, it helps in the draft which is very fine by me.
  5. Twins33
    Every time I predict they'll be good, they end up being bad and vice versa. Whoops.
  6. Twins33
    I know but i think he's a BP option if he doesn't make the starting rotation so I don't think he will be gone.

    My personal locks are Gibson and Berrios with hopes that Pineda is too. I'd want them to go and get a guy better than Berrios and Gibson (or at least as good as). Odorizzi would be on the trade block if that pitcher is acquired. Fifth spot is reserved for Mejia, Gonsalves or Romero. At this point it's an easy no for me on Santana's option. I'd rather watch Mejia or one of the younger guys rather than a 36 year old Santana. He was great, but if this is who he's going to be, he's not worth 14M or even 8M..no matter how much free money the Twins have to spend.
  8. Twins33
    He's blaming Zyrtec. No more Zyrtec for him.
  9. Twins33
    The issue is that Gonsalves just pitched the other day so filling in for Mejia wasn't going to happen. That being said, Gonsalves does need to be up here soon. I'm also happy that Stewart is getting a look.

    This reminds me that at Twinsfest this year some kid who was about 10 was shocked to see a picture of Mauer in his catcher's gear. "Mauer was a catcher!?" I felt old and I'm not even 30 yet.
  11. Twins33
    Wild Thing pitches for the Rockies? Didn't think the Indians would trade him.
  12. Twins33
    Delete this quick or Morrison will be starting those two games! If only it was that easy..
  13. Twins33
    Eventually but not at this moment.
  14. Twins33
    Apparently they face two lefties soon, so hopefully that's not the case.
  15. Twins33
    The only problem I have with this comment is the "why didn't they try to get back one higher rated prospect" part. We have no idea what they did or didn't try. They probably, or hopefully, did try. They just didn't succeed. The other teams have a say in the trades as well. And they can easily say no if they want to. I don't think any team was desperate for the Twins players they received. I thought the Twins got more back than I personally expected in most of the trades.
  16. Twins33
    I had temporarily forgotten until you just said that.
  17. Twins33
    Theyre trying...at least against two teams. https://twitter.com/mikeberardino/status/1024131605781270528?s=21 Just try not to look at that bottom part.
  18. Twins33
    Probably helped, but he's been decent for awhile. Hard to watch, but not absolutely horrible stats since May (4.12 ERA or so from May to now). That's basically the Lynn I expected to get when the Twins signed him. That being said, really like the trade.

    Two org top 20 prospects and a throw in is more than I was expecting. Hoping Escobar re-signs for 2-3 years in the offseason.
  21. Twins33
    Yes, but not because of baseball reasons. I signed up for it to continue to read Russo covering the Wild. All the baseball stuff is a bonus. Agree on Hayes. If there was no Russo I definitely would have never subscribed in the first place.
  22. Twins33
    I'm not saying don't try, because it doesn't hurt to ask, but I'm thinking the Brewers laugh their butts off on the other end of the phone. I don't think there's a chance in hell that the Brewers would be that dumb. Rumors are rumors, but it sounds like Peralta was not included in Brewers-O's talks. So they don't seem that desperate.
  23. Twins33
    I would assume it would be impossible to convince a potential playoff team to give up a pitcher who's already in their starting rotation, especially one who is young, and only get rentals in return.
  24. Twins33
    I don't see people asking for young players to be traded. They're asking for upcoming FA's to be traded, most of whom are over 30 years old. That's different than what your post is about. Gibson isn't a FA but he's over 30. And Escobar is their youngest FA to be, I think. I wouldn't mind keeping him, but it's wise to trade him and then re-sign him if he wants to come back. You don't need to build your team around aging vets.

    He did last year on offense (slash line). He's also doing it again so far this year.
