    I think that Tonkin will make it over Chargois, and I think Park makes the roster over Vargas.. also, no chance that Mauer would ever sit for vargas vs lefties.. Even if Vargas slashed 1.000/1.000/4.000 vs lefties they wouldn't bench mauer

    How much longer do we have to watch Phil Hughes start? He's by far the worst one we have.
  3. jsteve96
    I think the Dodgers would sell the franchise before making this trade

    I demand De Leon + Alvarez+ Lux for as long as ya can. If they settled for De Leon, Alvarez and Stewart I'd do it ... gotta figure the Dodgers or Yankees will overpay

    I think you're forgetting Santiago had a career 3.6ish era before his 3 awful starts with the Twins. he'll come back strong here soon.
  6. jsteve96
    Yes, i realize that. My point was we should not be saying Shoulda coulda woulda about drafts. theres almost always someone better you could get. I didn't want Jay, but I'm not gonna say we shoulda taken anyone else
  7. jsteve96
    you think they will release hughes and pay his 50 million for no production?

    wonder if Romero can 1-up Gonsalves again this week for Twins minor leaguer of the week? 7 no hit innings and 21 strike outs?
  9. jsteve96
    I think the Twins messed up drafting Buxton when they could have had Seager, Giolito or Russell. Shoulda coulda woulda's aren't cool. We drafted Gibson over Mike Trout.
  10. jsteve96
    yeah the guy above me^ has a point, once Rosario gets to ARB years and guys like Walker/Buxton/Palka/Granite are coming up he's going to be in trouble. I could easily see Rosario putting everything together and having multiple .800+ OPS seasons but he better start soon. I'd take Rosie in a corner over grossman anyday though..

    Plouffe and Milone non tendered for sure, I'd trade Kintzler. no way i would extend Gibson. do we really think he will be one of our 5 best in 2018 with Berrios Santana Gonsalves Mejia Jay.. maybe? dont guarantee him any money. Boshers, O'Rourke, Albers and one of D Santana/Grossman traded off or Released. make room to for sure add: Jorge, Romero,Garver, Granite and maybe Thorpe

    lets drop the being a dick here and think about how a guy with a career .153 OPP BA has only played 1 level per year. should be moving up faster with the numbers he puts up. a WHIP of 1 in his career.

    Totally off topic but, I was trying to figure out how the Twins could copy the Cubs success after having a similar 2016 to cubs 2014 before the break out.. I realized its not happening until 2 or 3 of these guys are in the rotation. the Bats will be there but we need to grab Ramos like Cubs did Hayward.. Trade Ervin for a AA or AAA top pitching prospect with 1 or 2 potential then just wait it out until a couple of Berrios/Gonsalves/Mejia/Romero are shutting opponents down.. with no free agent pitchers, theres no chance Twins get more than 80 wins. get the big 3 in rotation then 2018 grab one of: Arrieta, Bumgarner, Cueto, Darvish, Danny Duffy
  14. jsteve96
    first, your talent has to be ready. Arrieta we can all agree was a lucky pick up. Zobrist and Lackey we signed after the Cubs had the 2nd best record in baseball. So the only moves that was made ahead of time on your point were Fowler and Lester, and they were Free agent moves. they gave nothing up for their future. if they traded for such players they would likely have to have given up Bryant, Soler and Baez. they only got Russell because they traded samarjza. they played it exactly right. sadly no Lester on free agency for Twins, but their "Fowler move" could very well be Wilson Ramos. if they make that move they will be following the cubs process just right. get a big name SP in FA in 2018

    I checked up on this guy, 12 innings vs LHB only 3 hits, 18:0 K/BB ratio... seems like this kid could come up and pitch tomorrow for the Twins as a LOOGY
  16. jsteve96
    Williams Ramirez career ERA 1.81. As a starter (25 starts) 1.54 ERA 135K's and 70 hits allowed in 123 innings... the guy shoulda been starting in A ball 2 years ago, not a surprise he's doing good. needed to be in AA by now at least. wonder what he did to piss off the Twins
  17. jsteve96
    I would add Travis Blankenhorn and Jaylin Davis onto this also. been a good year for twins prospects
  18. jsteve96
    WHY would you want a "quality arm" or "veteran position player" on a losing team over a couple good young prospects? bc you want to lose for another decade?
  19. jsteve96
    actually that makes me happy. the fact he was struggling at AAA level kinda seems good. It's not just MLB pitching, its just his mechanics rn.
  20. jsteve96
    You're forgetting Dozier was one of the worst 2nd basemen in the league the first 2 months.. his year has not been impressive. his last 45 days have. but I see your point i want to trade him too.
  21. jsteve96
    what a great day for the hitting prospects... Gordon, Palka, Diaz, Wade all with great days even Vielma reached 4 times!
  22. jsteve96
    I'd say BD is far from GG D, Fangraphs would agree. hot and cold streaks aren't the players you want either. consistently good players are every team's dream
  23. jsteve96
    no I dont, Bryant had an OPS over 1 at every level. I'm saying for their ages at their levels, Polanco is more impressive. Kris Bryant also made it to the MLB in 1.5 years.
  24. jsteve96
    Dozier has never had a season with an OPS better than .761 in MLB.. Thats easily doable for Polanco. I think Polanco is capable of an .800+ multiple years
  25. jsteve96
    hes hitting .309 with 35 stolen bases in AA and over his last 38 games he is hitting .369. Nothing special, most likely true... but he could easily end up being a starting Center fielder if he hits like this and he's young, 23. scouts have compared him to Burns which isn't too bad considering Burns had a 2.3 WAR last year..
