    In contrast to the Metrodome where left-hand power was at a premium (think baggy), Target Field plays to right-hand power and the Twins have been actively trying to get right-hand power in their system over the past few years. That said, it would be nice if Arcia could figure things out because he has the type of left-hand power that plays at Target Field and could be placed between the right-handed power in the lineup. Might have to live with 700 strikeouts from the middle of the order however.

    Shed 100 million in salary and take back 40 million. This stuff was bantered about at the trade deadline and Ryan has said in the past that deals that don't get made at the deadline sometimes get made in the off-season as the initial negotiations have taken place. It's the prospects that Terry would throw in that would be important to San Diego. Too many to add all of them to the 40 man.

    Article from the San Diego Union regarding what San Diego is looking for and who might be on the trading block in order for them to accomplish it, including Shields, Kimbrel. Benoit, and Norris. Any deal the Twins would make that included Shields would have to include Nolasco so it ends up a net 3 year 40 million investment but a blockbuster that included Shields, Kimbrel and Norris would get me excited for next year. San Diego is looking for left-handed bats, left-handed pitching, a shortstop, and a third baseman. http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/nov/07/padres-hot-stove-offseason-preview/

    “He’s not ready to be an average Major League player tomorrow. He’s along that path. He’s doing good things, he’s produced. He’s hitting .340 but he still doesn’t take at-bats and swing at strikes and handle breaking balls like he is going to have to do to be an average hitter in the Major Leagues,” What's Radcliff saying here? His expectation for Kepler is to be an "average" major league hitter? We shouldn't hope/expect that he will put up numbers in the majors anything like what he is doing at AA? Interesting comments.

    His regression seems to coincide with the promotions of Buxton and Sano. Maybe he is not getting at-bats in as many favorable situations. Just a theory. No empirical evidence.

    I read this report almost every morning and just wanted send my appreciation out to all those who put the work in putting it together. Great read.

    Arcia with 5 BB in his last 5 games (5 BB in his first 35). Trend or mirage? Hopefully a sign of a better approach. Love to see the good Arcia in the lineup against right handers at least. Can a Hicks/Arcia platoon become an above average corner outfielder?

    Last season's disappointment was the injuries to Buxton and Sano. This season it seems to be the performances of Meyer, Reed and Burdi. Coming off last season and the fall league, I imagined Meyer as a number one or two starter (if only for five or six innings) and Burdi and Reed as a couple of seventh, eighth, or ninth inning guys. An ace and a shutdown bullpen possibly all with the Twins in 2015. Hope all get their seasons turned around. Baseball is a hard game.

    Can you ask Alex what Scott Boras is like from a client's perspective?
