  2. JesusisLord7
    I like the trade. And I really like Luis Arraez. He was worthy of the return. I think the Twins sold high on a guy who had a very good year. Luis will still have more good years but I think his knees trouble me for a kid only 25 years old and I anticipate he might have issues going forward. Both teams traded from a position of strength (surplus) so it makes sense. I hope Jorge Polanco is healthy and ready to have a big year because if not, the Edouard Julien kid is knocking at the door and also Austin Martin has a good on base .pct with plus plus speed (can steal bases) that the Twins lineup could use. All that said, I'm going to miss Luis Arraez and probably will follow the Marlins for the first time ever because of him.

    No way. He was horrible. Talk about a guy who was suppose to lead us to the promise land and got a little worse every year he played. Turn the page.

    From the outside looking in I'm not sure if Trevor Bauer can be restored. However, the Twins are an embarrassment in the playoffs and I don't believe we have won a playoff game in the last 21 years. Think on that for a second. Correct me if I'm wrong but was not 2002 the last time we won vs Oakland? Why? We don't have frontline starters that can compete. If you look under the surface and the details are really bad I would consider this idea. But if the guy got the proper counseling and could be restored it is an interesting idea. He is only 31 and from a baseball only perspective can be elite at times. Again, I'm on the outside looking in so pitching this without knowledge. But when you have gone two plus decades without winning a game that matters we need to try something.

    It is hard to know looking from the outside how bad a situation can be. The Dodgers recently released Trevor Bauer. I wonder if the Minnesota medical community could stabilize this guy? I have no idea. From a baseball only point of view he would be a big upgrade. I'm a person who believes in forgiveness but for a team to take a chance on a guy there would need to be evidence of change and restoration. Not sure on this one, what does everyone else think?

    I agree on Julien. I think he is MLB ready and think it is time to move Polanco when we build up his trade value.

    I think the bullpen is where the Twins could make the biggest impact. Even if we had to overpay. Think on how good K.C.'s bullpen was when the won the world series in 2015. Greg Holland, Wade Davis, and Kelvin Herrera. Everyone will remember in history mostly Hosmer, S. Perez, and Moustakas but I think that bullpen was a bigger driving force. I agree with a few of you guys that another dominant lefty would help. Brad Hand or Will Smith. There aren't many of them unsigned so an aggressive offer by the Twins seems wise to me.

    Equal to the likes of Glenn Borgman, Butch Wynegar, Sal Butera, Marc Salas, David Engle and Matt Walbeck.

    I just looked it up. Minnesota Twins Zero wins and ten losses in playoff games with Joe Mauer. Enough said for me.
  21. JesusisLord7
    I say No. Beautiful game. But Hall of Famers win. I wonder how many playoff victories we had with Joe as a player. He never developed a power stroke either. I thought he should have hit the weights a bit more. Just being honest, he was my favorite player but always left me disappointed.
  22. JesusisLord7
    I think we could have really good starting pitching if guys are healthy. Maeda, Mahle, Gray, and Ryan. What is we traded low on Trevor Bauer? I know character is a big question mark but the dude can pitch. If you took on that salary LA might trade him for a 20-30 range prospect. Bullpen could be good. Especially if Alcala is healthy. I think SS is the big question mark. Brooks Lee is hard charging and lets hope Royce Lewis can take the position by all star break. I really think we can contend with what we have now. Larnach and Kiriloff healthy should give the outfield a boost.

    You're a right. Jeffers has not lived up to his offensive upside. He has shown glimpses at times. I think it is in there somewhere. I remember Tori Hunter who would swing at the same down and away breaking pitch for like 7 straight years and then he said he started watching how Joe Mauer would take pitches and be patient and then suddenly a light bulb went on inside his mind. Tori was a much better hitter later on in his career. My hope for Jeffers is that he adapts much sooner.

    I like the move and personally would rather strengthen the bullpen. Povich does have upside but he's not a top 10. With Lopez in the 9th, you have Duran in the 7th or 8 and Jax before Duran. Two areas of opportunity for the Twins now will be helping Pagan get right in early relief because he really does have elite stuff. Second opportunity, if we can get Kenta Maeda healthy, he is nasty in the bullpen. He proved it with the Dodgers. I like this trade simply because we can't give up on this season and we didn't move any tier one prospects. Now if Povich wins the Cy Young some day than I was wrong.
  25. JesusisLord7
    Also remember that Maeda might be able to help toward the end of the year in the bullpen and I'm hoping Jorge Alcala as well.
