    This is an interesting article. My sense is that Mauer would be reluctant to consent to the trade, because he would hate playing in a fishbowl like Boston where the press and the fans are very unforgiving. Other than playing for a team that is better equipped to contend, I don't see any incentive for Mauer to agree to this, and Boston had so many problems last year that its chances of contending anytime soon seem remote.

    I like your analysis, but wonder how difficult it might be to entice a quality free agent to come to a team that will have had the worst record in the AL for two straight years. Marcum and Jackson might put some weight on the value of going to a team that appears to have a better chance of being competitive. Also, if some other team wants them, the Twins seem unlikely to get into a bidding war. I fear that the Twins will bottom fish for someone who has some potential, but is less in demand, such as Ervin Santana.

    You gentlemen have obviously given this a lot of thought and I am enjoying your analysis of what might have happened.

    You have done an excellent job bringing perspective to a disappointing season, along with some plausible hope for the future.

    This is an interesting take on the situation, Mr. Lounge. But how do you explain Spanish basketball players? Mutations?

    Good article. I am now a fan of the Rockies, Cubs and Padres. I look at scores every day hoping that they win. But I am not bothering with the Astros -- it looks like they have the #1 pick locked up.

    I think that this is a visionary idea that will probably never be seriously considered by the Twins. On the other hand, I love watching Revere play in the outfield.

    I look forward to your blogs.

    This is interesting. Thanks for posting it.

    His OPS of .775 is the 6th best on the team, as you can see &tab_level=child&click_text=Sortable+Player+hitting&sectionType=sp&statType=hitting&page=1&ts=1345091967716&sortColumn=ops&sortOrder=%27desc%27&extended=0"]here.

    Excellent article and I agree that it would be good to let them play a lot in September. I also see no reason why the existing outfielders need to play very much in September. Why risk one of them getting injured?

    This is very interesting and looks like it took a lot of work. I am glad to see that your top 6 are pitchers. The Twins could use some good ones.

    Great, great article.

    [quote name=Jim Crikket;bt3521 Also' date=' am I wrong to feel that, assuming you are bound to be ranked near the bottom in SOME positions, I'd rather it be 2B and SS than most other positions? Sure the team OPS at those positions is bad, but how much worse is it than average for that position? Point being, I'd rather be 29th at 2B than 29th at 1B, where there'd likely be a significant spread.[/quote] I share Jim's desire to hear the answer to his question. I also would like to know where Revere would rank if he was playing his natural position of CF.

    This is BRILLIANT. I hope that it gets promoted to the main page!

    Another thorough report with the always appreciated links to the box scores. I am very happy to hear that Buxton is off to a strong start at E-Town.

    Player Comparison

    glunn commented on Matt VS's blog entry in Blog Matt VS

    I love any blog that involves the mysterious Players A and B. I did not guess who they were, but my sense was that Player B would be more appealing based on his stats. You make a good point about Parmelee needing to move up. On the other hand, trading Morneau or Parmelee would reduce the Twins' flexibility. If the Twins trade Parmelee, then they will have a problem if Morneau gets injured or if some team makes a great trade offer for Morneau. If the Twins trade Morneau, then they have a problem if Parmelee gets injured or is just not ready to perform at a high level. Although I agree with you that Parmelee would benefit from moving up, my personal preference would be to keep both Morneau and Parmelee unless some other team makes a very favorable trade offer involving at least 1 potential quality starter.

    These are some interesting dreams. I would love to see collapses from the White Sox and Tigers. It would also be nice to win a series from the Yankees.

    This is very interesting. Thanks for laying it out so clearly. I would not mind seeing the AAA affiliate in Las Vegas. It would provide opportunities for a fun trip.

    There are a LOT of interesting links in this blog. I have spent almost an hour looking at them. Thanks for the hard work putting this together.

    Great pictures and an interesting article. It will be sad if the Twins leave, but it's also sad that the city won't come up with some cash to fix the facility. I would guess that visiting Twins fans contribute a lot to the local economy. I am tempted to buy a Snappers jersey before it's too late.

    Great article. I wish that I could be there, but you are doing a good job hitting some high spots. I look forward to the next installment.

    This is a great post. I have been wondering when Revere would have enough at bats to qualify, and whether some day he might actually win the title.
