    I'm guessing Helman will be more of a utility guy and Julien is a starter type guy. So if both have to be on the 40 man, Julien comes first because of his future production hopes and his age (23 vs 26).
  2. blairpaul715
    If Julien is ready, maybe a Polanco and/or Kepler off season trade? Move Larnach to right, Kirilloff or Julien in left.

    My guess, signed in principal, barring any unforseen problems signing the underslot guys. Probably be the last one announced. I originally thought he would be a $3M sign, now I would guess more in the $2.4-$2.5M range.

    I think stand pat. I don't want to trade any of our MLB ready players in a season where we have maybe a 1-5% chance of getting to the World Series. Keep Correa so we can hopefully enjoy a successful season. Make trades in off-season to supplement roster. Keep trying to build a system where we can become competitive year after year, and if you are 1 or 2 players away from a championship, then trade away from surplus you may have to go after a ring.

    I think the Twins will try to free up money to sign Prielipp for $3M. May or may not go over the 10 round slot amount penalty. I LOVE THE PICK of Prielipp.
  6. blairpaul715
    Do we know what either of these 1ST two picks are asking money wise? Will we have to draft lower players the rest of the 1st 10 rounds to make the money work for Prielipp and Lee?

    Pick 68 or 114 I would like the Twins to take a flyer on Ben Joyce. He is the relief pitcher that throws (threw) 105 mph for Tennesee, altho never pitch any high leverage situation for them.
  8. blairpaul715
    Pick 48....... He won't be there but how about Drew Gilbert if he drops? Or catchers Dalton Rushing or Logan Tanner? Or the top LHP on the board?

    COLLIER!!!

    Wish I had seen this yesterday lol. I was putting together a consensus, now I could have saved time ?........ My 5 favorite choices in order, based on who I think could be available. 1. Termarr Johnson-unlikely to be available 2. Cam Collier-fingers crossed he is there and Twins pick him. 3. Kevin Parada-Twins need an offensive catcher. But hear his arm isn't strong. May have to move from C? 4. Zach Neto-Should be available 5. Kumar Rocker-I'd take him. I'm hoping they dont take Berry.

    I concur. Wait till end of season. But if extended, I would only tack on 2 extra years not 3, unless you make the last year a team option.
  13. blairpaul715
    Well now should be well set up with relief pitching for tomorrow's DH.
  14. blairpaul715
    Prediction: If Contreras gets 4 AB's, he gets on 3 times. Hopefully 3-4, with a double and 2 rbi.
  15. blairpaul715
    Only listening to this game, this is the Bad News Bears inning!!!
  16. blairpaul715
    I thought i heard next yr
  17. blairpaul715
    I know most people dont like the hill, but it adds charm..........kind of like the Green Monster or the Ivy in Chicago........is there any other unique things in any other ballparks?
  18. blairpaul715
    Well, I am happily surprise by Park..........I still dont think he is major league caliber, I will wait to see if he can catch up with a 94-97 mph fastball.........hoping I am wrong............on a different topic, he is good defensively and like someone else said he is not DH only type.
  19. blairpaul715
    Well ,my guess then is they (like us) overvalue their own prospects........Cause in reality, you would think there would be more men who are dropped from 40 man picked up, because not all teams are equal, some teams 35 man isnt as good as another teams 41st or 42........I know this is a simplistic view, but my view nonetheless.
  20. blairpaul715
    I dont see why the Twins wouldnt do a trade of a prospect that is on their 40 man to another team for the same level type prospect that is maybe in Low or Hi A, if another team isnt tight on their 40 man, and maybe all teams feel like they are........Thoughts??!!
  21. blairpaul715
    I partly agree, lets take Hughes for example, in 2014 he pitched like a 2, but in reality he is a 3-4, and Ventura was a 3 in 2015, will he take a leap forward this yr? We will find out.........Now the reverse Cueto is a 1-2, but KC he pitched like a 4.............so last yrs stats wise of the 6 guys you mention it was a wash, its not like one set played better than the other, that is all I was saying or trying to convey, because over the long haul I would take Cueto over them all, not sure about Ventura, might depend on his makeup.
  22. blairpaul715
    The question was about pitching , with that said, Volquez has been a 3-5 his whole career and one team in 2013 thought so little of him he was DFA'd...........Ventura does have 2 upside,but he pitched like a 3 last yr, and Cueto pitch 81 innings with a 4-7, 4.76, 56 K's and a .307 BA against, not exactly ace time with KC. Santana 7-5, 4.00, 108 IP , 36 W, 82 K, .253 BAA, 1.30 WHIP vs Cueto 4-7, 4.76, 81 IP, 17 W, 56 K, .307 BAA, 1.45 WHIP Gibson 11-11, 3.84, 195 IP, 65 W, 145 K, .252 BAA, 1.29 WHIP vs Volquez 13-9, 3.55, 200 IP, 72 W, 155 K, .251 BAA, 1.31 WHIP Hughes 11-9, 4.40, 155 IP, 16 W, 94 K, .293 BAA, 1.29 WHIP vs Ventura 13-8, 4.08, 163 IP, 58 W, 156 K, .248 BAA, 1.30 WHIP Pretty much a wash 3 on 3...............and yes KC does have a better pen,and defense, and offense,but that wasnt what I was stating, I was stating they didnt have an ace and still won a World Series.
  23. blairpaul715
    Ask Kansas City how fun it is to win a World Series with only having #3 to #5 pitchers.......there rotation is no better than ours. Of course, ideally like everyone else, I would like a #1 type pitcher followed by the next best 4 we have, but depending on who you ask, as Twins fans even, you will get a different answer , as most of our pitchers may have different styles, but still are no better than 3's.
  24. blairpaul715
    IMO that is rose colored glasses..........Teams dont trade #3 pitchers for 5th OF or AAAA guys like the A's did with the Twins..........Milone is a 4 at best, and I like him, I also like May, but think he is a 4 also, IMO Nolasco is a 4 or possibly 3 as he pitched in the past, Hughes is a 3-4 guy, and Santana and Gibson are solid 3's.......that is a pretty good rotation IMO...........IMO Berrios is a 3 with an upside of MAYBE a 2.
  25. blairpaul715
    I guess it all depends on what kind of pitcher you think May is, is he a 3-4 type or a 4-5 type...........if you think 3-4 , then i can see the consternation, but if you think he is a 4-5 then I can see why a person doesnt mind the bullpen when he can crank it up a notch. As far as not picking up anyone for the bullpen, I am fine with that, time for the much heralded Twins minor league bullpen guys to put up, and they will be given a chance, IMO.
