  1. The Twins strategy for relief pitchers has been reasonable. Every year there are relief pitchers that excel on bad teams. We can then trade for said relief pitchers that we KNOW are pitching well this year. Yes you can lose some prospects, but you have a much more reliable return on investment in the often volatile world of relief pitching.
  2. Me thinks that the new-ish FO ultimately gets one of Darvish/Cole/Archer/Odorizzi/Cobb. I also don't think they'll wear blinders when making a decision. They'll figure out what provides best 'market value' and go with it. These guys are flexible thinkers and that excites (usually skeptical) me.
  3. Are we sure that the Twin’s line up today is any better than the Red Wing’s line up…. I’m serious…
  4. It is OK to build toward 2019 and beyond.... The build is just as fun as the payoff.....1982-1987 was a fun and intersting to watch the nucleus mature and then have pieces added at the right time (with a little luck mixed in which all WS teams need at some point) .
  5. VERY impressed by the front office this last 2 weeks. Truly maximized return. This team has a super exciting future but the were never, never, never, never, never......deep breath.....never a playoff team this year (and most likely next year).... BUT I believe this FO is building toward sustained success cerca 2019-1-2023.....good on them
  6. Trade Grossman for whatever is available....keep Granite as a 4th outfielder with MUCH more versitility. If nothing is available for Grossman...it tells you that we are overvaluing his one talent and DFA-Away!
  7. For those in the know….are Littell and Enns better than Ynoa? If so, how much? Seems like a good overall sequence of transactions.
  8. Sell has always been the right answer (even if we sweep Oakland this weekend). This team will NOT progress deep into the playoffs under any circumstances. I lament that we did not trade Santana 2-4 weeks ago when he was truly at peak value if a good offer was on the table. And I am very happy about this season and the progress being made. But the window opens in 2019….Santana will not be part of that.
  9. Dear Twins, That “ding” you keep hearing every day is the MiLB oven timer going off…. I’m ready and the Twins bench and offense are hungry! Yours Truly, Mitch Garver
  10. Good trade for all these reasons ... and without it things could have gone south...and fast with the rotation
  11. 6.2 innings per start this year with a 1.3 WHIP and 4.3 ERA?! This is exactly what we need as a#4/5 starter and when you compare this to 3-4 innings per start with an 8-9 ERA…this is VERY helpful. BUT, we need to see the price of course. One for one makes me worried that this is going to be a higher ranking prospect than we would like to see… (hopefully more 15-20 than 11-15….anything higher than 20 is fantastic)
  12. Dear Twins FO, I was wondering if you have and game video and statistics to compare myself, Breslow, Belisle and Pressley. At this point, I figure you must have lost the footage and stats. It’s really the only explanation for them being in the majors instead of me. I even talked to an “advance analytics” guy because I know that you like that kind of stuff, and even he was confused. Anyhoo I’ll send you some video footage and stat comparisons. Everyone makes mistakes, Alan Bunsenitz
  13. I too think he has only begun to realize his full potential… He is showing this year that he can readjust after pitchers adjusted to him (this is by far the biggest step that a hitter can make). I will go a step further to predict that he will develop into a major threat and find himself in the #3 slot in the batting order in the next two years. There is also a chance (20%) that he ends up with a better career than Sano.
  14. Dear Twins, Why am not in your bullpen again? Thanks in advance for the clarification, Alan Busenitz
  15. I think Rooker has proven himself against high school all stars ("I keep getting older adn they stay the same age").... time to move along unless he part of an upcoming E-Town promotion
  16. Amen....Must trade Santana as well if a quality package is offered (and I think it will be)
  17. It is time for everyone to get comfortable trading our 34-year-old “ace” at his peak value (yes, there will be a good market unlike for Dozier). I am super optimistic about our core, but our window really opens in 2019 if we are being honest with ourselves. Santana will not be part of that….I promise
  18. Can we all agree that Santana needs to be traded for what promises to be nice package based on current market value? He is 34 and not part of our next deep playoff run (I promise!)
  19. ….add Planco to Rosario and Escobar (ie adding Planco to Gordon will not suddenly get us a young controllable #2 starter)
