    I think this is fairly simple. Gray - If you can get more value than a Comp Round pick in next year's draft + the remaining two months of starts... you do it. Everyone saying that the QO is a given hasn't followed the Twins long enough. Injury is always a risk. Maeda - I would have to be blown away here. Not that he is that valuable, but that he is a stabilizer in the rotation and I wouldn't just give him away because he could leave this offseason. He has a lot of upside for the rest of the year. I wouldn't get attached here. The Twins are getting bounced in the first round if they don't implode before then (like last year). Make solid moves now and hope some of your depth is ready. Would be refreshing to have our cake and eat it too for once. Then maybe this offseason our front office actually tries to address some KNOWN weaknesses in the bullpen and the lineup

    #FreeMattWallner.... Guy is raking and our offensive juggernaut of a Twins team is just letting him sit there because Kepler is so valuable. I think we can take the defensive risk here.

    Gotta figure out how to keep Wallner up at the MLB level. I know Max is good defensively but, at some point, you gotta let this kid breathe fire at the MLB level for the rest of the year. He could be a real impact bat and we know what Kepler is. Get him to focus on defense in the offseason, but let him mash now. Hell, throw Buxton is center 3 out of 5 games and then let Wallner DH… gotta figure something out

    Didn’t Matt Damon say that once? I hope you have better success with it lol

    Not correct. Only being down by 1 with no outs, it is best for Larnach to attempt to take third on the catch to put him in scoring position.... You have to remember, any capable outfielder catches that ball so I can't blame Larnach for assuming a catch and tagging up. Both runners behind him need to be heads up of that as well. Sano is really the issue, he needs to be looking at Urshela.

    This rotation could absolutely implode this year. Gray - Least likely but age could start to show Bundy - Oh boy...... this could be bad Joe Ryan - Should be fine but homers could become a problem Ober - Who knows, these guys seem to get figured out at some point Archer - Complete wild card. None of these guys really scream to me that we have a stopper, or even a good #2. Seems like 3 #3 starters and two #5's (generously so).... God I hope I am wrong but won't be shocked if the Twins are really bad in the pitching department.
  21. MangLitch
    Before I say thing, I obviously understand that Buxton is all world defensively..... But man this Kirilloff guy sure makes me excited to see the outfield with or without him.... what a bat! I want him to slash .550/.600/.880 all spring so that I can really giggle when he starts the year in AA.
  22. MangLitch
    I believe WAR is position based. So corner outfielders produce more at the plate on average than Catchers. Therefore, Kirilloff is closer to replacement level due to the higher production on the position. Could be wrong though.

    Or...... Or..... Hear me out here..... Go out and tell the Red Sox you will take on David Price for 27 mill a year and send them a bag of baseballs and a couple Schweigerts hot dogs and Sheboygan brats. Maybe they are pursuing this and not making noise but IMO an expensive contract on a player that had a down year and looking to give a way is just the type of upside play that can send you over the top. Even if he pitches like a #2, he is an upgrade over Gibson and Perez. It's just money and 3 years, which shouldnt impact signing any of the guys who (hopefully but no guarantee) will be due raises. Trading big pieces for Syndergaard under the assumption that Buxton and Sano are sure fire fixtures is more risky than just paying 90 mil over three years and seeing how it plays out. If he returns to Price form, we have another by low Cruz type play. Risk the cash, not the assets. Plus, just think of all the bad "price is right" puns we get to hear. Bonus

    I like losing money!

    Handicapping time. Which is Greater: - Belisle appearances versus Dozier home runs for the rest of the year - Sano's slugging percentage versus Twins winning percentage - Mauer Home Runs versus Rodney Blown Saves Odds of Success: - Twins winning just enough games to have a middle of the road draft pick powered by guys that have no long term future with the twins - Logan Morrison climbing out of his hole to play baseball just enough so that people on here can talk about why he should be around next year - Molitor giving any large runway to younger players in September. (Had to get my Molitor shot in)

    The Purge: Twins Edition Looks like its finally done. Interesting to see what comes of all of this but in the end it had to be done. I don't feel like we lost anything for the future and maybe a couple of these guys pan out. Who knows. Bottom line is you cant win the lottery without a ticket. Ill take my chances when I am giving up expiring contracts. It's prudent, especially when you are selling in the face of 1.5% odds of making the playoffs. That is a pretty easy exercise in value. If one of these guys is a positive WAR guy, it would be worth all the trades if you are only giving up 1.5% chance this year. Tough to swallow but prudent. Let the tanking begin.

    HMPFFFF... not sure why you take forsythe back in the package unless it was a must from the dodgers... If so, then that should have enhanced the package. Looks like 19 and unranked.... odd trade. I didn't expect a ton but more than this. Forsythe is just weird.
