No Guerra?

 

If not, the book on the Johan Santana trade has now officially been closed.

The book should close when the control of all players involved ended. I think it closed following 2013 for Guerra and Gomez. At the time of the trade they had team control through that point.

 

In this case, a good trade. A year of Santana (and the supplemental pick had they kept him and lost him to free agency) for 6 of Gomez. The failure was in recognizing and developing his talent.

It all depends on what they are offered to resign, too. Maybe the dollars are significantly greener for some players or positions elsewhere. I would've thought the Twins might've 40-manned Guerra. They still could, although he has burned thru at least two of his option years, if not three. These are guys that were told they weren't going to be added to the 40-man, but we still want you to develop with our organization. All except Hamburger will play at a higher level next year...Hamburger having to consider do I want to relieve or start, which won't be decided until spring training ends.

Have the Twins been connected to anyone else's minor-league Free agents? I no nothing about most of the available players, but the Phillies, for instance, recently added a small army of minor leaguers from outside their org (including familiar face Darin Mastroianni).

Obviously, as my "adopted" prospect, I've always liked Beresford. That said, I'm a little torn to read he re-signed with the Twins. I thought maybe he'd have a better shot at getting an opportunity for a big league utility role with another organization.

 

I'd imagine, though, that his agent tested the waters elsewhere and they determined the Twins remained James' best option at this time. Hope he has a great season.

It's really hard to imagine a world where the Twins aren't among the teams with the greatest need for a middle infielder, yet here we are.  This must be in bizarro world.

I like Beresford a lot as well.  I too thought he would have a better chance elsewhere.  As far as I am concerned he has everything you need as a 2nd baseman except power.  If he can improve his power numbers I think he is MLB bound.

Per Matt Eddy of Baseball America, RHP Daniel Turpen has re-signed with the Twins. He spent the season last year in New Britain. He came to the Twins from the Rockies in the Kevin Slowey trade.

I just read that the Pirates signed Deibinson Romero. Good luck to him, and maybe he'll finally get a chance in the bigs in 2015.

They spotted a flaw in his release point and hope to add 2-3 MPH to his fastball.

Pittsburgh is apparently replacing Baltimore as the new receptacle for Twins cast-offs.

Dan Rohlfing returns for another season in the Twins organization.

 

Yeah, he's included in the Twins Prospect Handbook because a 'source' let us know that he should be included again.
