October 17, 201511 yr "Trade or not to Trade ? That is the question."1 I need to know what the offer from the other team is in order to decide! 1) Hamlet (paraphrased), Act III, Scene I. Edited October 17, 201511 yr by Kwak
October 19, 201511 yr Trading Plouffe does not make them "sellers." It makes them a team who is trading off a surplus to make the team better in other areas. Whether or not those other areas are on the ML team right now, or pieces for a later time, or for a later trade is to be seen. If money wasn't a thing and the Twins could just have Plouffe for the next 5-6 years, then yeah.....hang on to him, but with him starting to get paid rather well this off season and needing a multi year deal after that......they need to decide what's right to do.Or offer him a qualifying offer in 2 years and get a draft pick. Nobody has said that the Twins should offer him a big multi-year deal. Good teams have surpluses of good players. It is called depth. Somebody gets hurt and they can put in a good player instead of Eduardo Nunez for an extended starting role. And I must have a lot less confidence in a starting OF of Hicks, Rosario and a prospect with Vargas at DH. There is a lot that can wrong out there. Having Sano at DH (rotating some at 3B) is not a problem.
October 19, 201511 yr Here is your definitive answer: Plouffe is the equivalent of splash, in French. Plouffe dans l'eau = splash in the water. That's why my French wife and our son love Plouffe. Doesn't hurt he's a good ballplayer. Edited October 19, 201511 yr by Monkeypaws
