    I just don't get the "meh" attitude about Mauer here. We seem to place no value in a guy just quietly going about doing his job well. 25 guys in all of MLB hit above 300 this year, and he did that with Gold Glove level defense. If he repeats that in 2018, he'll be in demand as a free agent, despite his age.

    Interesting analysis and good background on BABIP, but Kepler isn't going to be more than a platoon player until he learns how to hit lefties, and it's going to be harder for him to do that this year. The more the Twins are in contention, the less able they'll be to throw away plate appearances for Kepler's development.

    I disagree. Paralyzing yourself over fear of making the wrong decision is worse. I've been hearing this for years. We can't trade so-and-so because he could be the next big thing. True, but he could also be the next middling nobody or the next guy that never makes it to the show.

    This seems like commonplace thinking that just doesn't add up. You're saying we can't trade the prospects with no trade value, nor can we trade the prospect with trade value. If Hicks has no trade value, then he has no value, and we should unload him for whatever we can get. And if Buxton and Kepler have so much potential that they're untradeable, then who, exactly, is tradeable? Personally, I've heard far too much over the years about the amazing potential upside of prospects, few of whom turn out to be stars at the major league level. It wasn't that long ago that we were hearing that Kyle Gibson was untouchable because he was the second coming of Cy Young.
