    THIS! Farm systems that are deep allow for more trades for Realmutoful impact players

    I think it's mighty nice of the Twins to bring in a mixed up Johan prior to putting Johan Santana in the Twins Hall of Fame.... Brilliant!

    Gibson and the Doze to the A's for C- Sean Murphy P- Logan Shore/Hogan Harris and a Parker Dunshee to be named later (poor spin on the Duensing bit) but more likely my signature statement

    While I'd prefer to see moves as suggested in this post...i see things playing out like this: Twins will get lose on 7/30 to be 5 back of Cleveland at the deadline and by then it will be too late to move anyone due to the Blue Jays, Rays, O's and other sellers will have moved everyone on their 25 man roster Once again left holding the "we got a chance" bag with nothing in it!

    $30 and you too can watch the best the Twins have to offer http://www.milb.com/milb/multimedia/index.jsp?affiliateID=MiLBmenu

    Sano and Buxton (if they are back for the stretch run) help counter-act the Hand acquisition by the Indians and any other LH pitching they face

    Be prepared for the following minutia to come spewing forth from 1 Twins Way between now and August 1 "We were open for business on several players, but just couldn't put a deal together that we liked...our biggest pickups will really be the return of All-Stars Sano and Santana as well as the Platinum Defensive player of the year in Buxton...adding those three to our lineup in the second half without mortgaging any future assets is really the best of both worlds"

    Littell has been poorly incorporated at the MLB level for a guy his age to be a short notice "you're starting tomorrow" or "you're pitching the 11th" isn't fair unless the team plans to follow it up with more opportunities and not a red eye to Rochester Unfortunately for him he's the guy they chose to start burning options...clocks ticking on Will stay on the 40-man for long Badoo stats indicate he's at AA...pretty sure he's only at Cedar Rapids

    Gotta spend money to make money...It will hurt to just be in the conversation for JTR Romero could be one snapped off slider from TJ and then it's a crapshoot As Chief pointed out...this is the type of deal teams looking to win in the next few years make

    Threw this out there the other day http://twinsdaily.com/topic/30529-way-to-early-2019-roster-quick-fix-for-the-offense/ Couldn't agree with you more Nick I'd start with Romero and work from there...fill the hole behind the plate for at least 2 years and go from there Then I'd offer Machado whatever he wanted for 2 years or 4 years or 10 years

    Gotta give props to Castro tonight...blocking everything coming his way including 50 foot strike three on Beckham (who was probably too concerned about AllwaysInModeration finishing his story) Castro must be a Twins Daily reader
  18. tvagle
    Castro has mentioned that when he's framing, it's first and foremost in his mind, sometimes to the detriment of other things. I wonder if this is an ugly side effect of his framing. It might be because he does it all the time. He's a good framer, but he's a poor blocker and an average thrower. Yeah, that was kind of my point. He's preoccupied with framing on almost every pitch, which diminishes his ability to react to things like balls in the dirt or baserunners. Why so much concern with Castro's interest in farming...if he's preoccupied with the late spring, current market for livestock or when he'll be able to plant his soybeans maybe he shouldn't be a professional baseball player edit...couldn't multiquote (more than likely my fault) and at :rollseyes:

    Duke did exactly what he's supposed to do...throw pitches that appear to be in the zone then dart out of it for swinging strikes Castro's job is to block swing and miss strikes in the dirt If Duke throws the ball in the zone bad things happen...like two run triples to a guy who was way overmatched by mediocre fastballs up in the zone

    Thought I was over that JV attempt...agree with you 100%...not an $8Million play

    One word to solve this issueL JT Realmuto
  22. tvagle
    Game hinged on a fundamental play that wasn't made by a player that is supposed to provide plus defense at his position...Castro Attempting to pick a left-handed breaking ball in the dirt is not acceptable especially on third strike If it hit the plate all the more reason to be in position to block the ball rather than to try and pick it Castro did wake up in time to make a couple good blocks So ends the fundamentals of catching rant...I feel better now

    In today's game a player's clock is more important than early season wins, I have to wonder if Nick Gordon isn't a victim of Clockitis Starts yesterday's 9th with a single, not a Robbie Grossman work a walk, an actual bat on ball rally starter Had a decent spring at the dish showing shades of Cristian Guzman (SSS and all that acknowledged) Able to play SS and 2nd while also providing some help at 3B by freeing Escobar or Adrianza to play 3B if the big fella snaps his titanium tibia Tip of the Hat to the "He's gotta play everyday" folks...i get it...but why couldn't he? Polanco played when he wasn't fully prepared, turned out ok...maybe Escobar goes back to keeping everyone loosey goosey on the bench while playing somewhere 3 outta 5 games Any acceleration of Gordon's clock would be offset by the $1.5M saved in the corresponding roster move of releasing Grossman (I'd say trade but IMO we'd find out that the league has moved on from "a walk is as good as a hit" mode, unless there's added value to that type of player with the glove or speed or prodigious pop). Let's face it...in today's game RG is like that guy in softball that comes to the plate looking for a walk Hindsight and all that considered this was another exercise in shoulda-coulda-woulda...I'll be there on the 5th freezing and cheering what looks to be a team with promise and potential, just like me trying to fit a 3XL body into an XL Twins Hoodie
