    Gotta say Hu has been impressive so far. It seems Ike he came out of nowhere. If continues like this he will be at high A next year. We have us some very good young pitching coming up. Things are getting exciting.

    Max has been amazing and I look at his box score and smile, but Swim and Garver have been pretty excellent as well. Nice to have some good hitters to watch though.

    Well one thing we know about the Twins is that they are good at trading center fielders and getting value. I thought the Fuld trade was amaziing and I was glad they got a high ceiling very low floor (injured) RP for Moralas who I didn't think we would be able to trade. If they sign Suzuki that is one less piece to worry about in FA. I think the Hammer will be gone in August. Coriea I doubt they can get rid of but can't hold that against the FO. I would say they did quite well. Let's hope the Kids do well when they get called up.

    How do the Tigers do it? Every time they need an arm they get one. Well this should make Billy boy cry.

    I would be fine as high as 2/18 as long as it is only two years. I just think they really want three years at 8 million to do an extension otherwise they are likely inclined to see what the market brings them. Based on last year he should be able to get 3 years for 21 mil pretty easy I would think. Coupled with the lack of available catchers he could go 3/24. I have to believe it's the years that will be sticking point and to extend you typically have to overpay to make a deal. IMO they should trade him and overpay in FA makes it a win, win that way.

    Hard to find anything wrong with the Fuld trade. You get a backend starter that has a better ERA than any of your current starters for a 4th outfielder that was DFA'd. That is a good day at the trading table.

    You can't say Billy isn't going all out to try and get his team to World series this year. He has a tight window and a tough team in the Angels to beat. He is sacrificing his future for the present but I think it will work out him or hope it will work out with him. Would like to see David take down the Goliath's this year.

    I agree with you. Suzuki is a huge upgrade for both those clubs. The asking price just has to be too high for him not to get traded. I can't believe either of those teams wouldn't want an offensive difference maker on their team for the stretch run. I know trading is a game of chicken and or patience but they need to get something decent for the one decent trade candidate we have.

    Any chance they would move Sleigers to High A? I thought they were short a pitcher there as they pitched with their bullpen recently I think. There would be room for Jorge if they did that. Would be pretty cool to see all the young guns come up together.

    Nice update. Thank you!! It nice to see so many good players developing in Cedar Rapids.

    Yeah I hear ya. Something is better than nothing. I think it is just hard for me to comprehend that we would trade a player and likely get a lesser player in return and call that good. I get that the Twins likely would gain flexibility on the roster and some salary relief and they have players ready to step in but its just hard to see it that way. Also I don't think we will get someone not on the other teams 40 man as they would likely have to DFA someone to add Duensing. If that is the case then what is the point? It seems like clearing the 40 man for lower level prospects is not as easy as it seems.

    Excellent article can never hear enough about Berrios. I am stunned at his rate of improvement this year. I sure hope we have found our ace type pitcher of the future. Time will tell.
  13. Dman
    I hate it when you put in those terms as all hope get's crushed. I think you are right and that is likely why Duensing wasn't traded and doesn't come up in trade talks except on this board. Compared to the competition he just isn't much of an upgrade. All competing teams have 40 man issue's so getting prospects back that are not on the 40 man is going to be tough. Trading is harder than it looks.

    I like Brian but if they can get something meaningful for him then I would trade him. We have younger guys that appear ready to take on that role and we might as well bring up younger arms with the core group that is coming up. As beckmt mentioned there is no urgency to trade him. Only if a team was willing to overpay would I move him.

    I really like this article. I am a little low on Kohl I guess because of the strikeouts and lack of perceived dominance. You have allowed me to see Stewart's development in a more positive light. He was the number 4 draft choice in the first round so my expectations are higher than maybe they should be. He is doing well there is no question about that and he is young for his league. The question always will be does he have what it takes to be dominant. Reading your article I think he will get there.
  16. Dman
    Love these articles. Keep them coming. I've been keeping an eye on him in the box scores and he always seems to have a hit or two. I hope he makes it.
  17. Dman
    Nice article. Good information. Was wondering how he was doing. Kind of seems a bit like Berrios last year where his K numbers dropped and ERA was higher than we hoped it would be. I guess you have to learn to pitch somewhere. Might as well be A ball.
  18. Dman
    That's some good stuff there.
  19. Dman
    Nice article. I think the Twins did ok with this trade.
  20. Dman
    I'm a believer and like the risk vs reward for the Twins. Most seem to think he will not improve much and obviously other teams had there concerns so they could be right. I just feel optimistic that he is going to pitch well this year.
  21. Dman
    That is very interesting. Kinda shows what we already know. You can't necessarily buy wins. Your team has to come together regardless of payroll to win.
  22. Dman
    I like Turner a lot and I think if he hits and can keep from getting injured he will be a perennial All-Star. As much as the Twins need a Shortstop they need pitching far worse. Pitchers fail at higher rate and their careers are typically shorter so we need a lot of them if we plan on getting better for the long haul. I think the Twins will go pitcher in the first two rounds for sure and they should even though they will miss out on the dreamy shortstop prospect.
  23. Dman
    Very nice article and I agree that those players do not likely fit well into the teams long term plans and we need spots available to find out what we have for talent behind them. I also agree with Brandon though in that the Twins are in a position to be patient and try and to drive up the value of the players you mention. If that doesn't work out over time then I guess you desperately try to find a trading partner or let the player go. It's a tough job being a GM and coming out on top all the time.
