  1. you need to define your definition of elite and give examples then. you keep moving the goalposts, IMO.
  2. For me it's Ryu or bust. If you are going to add a pitcher, add the one who has actually pitched like an ace recently. Yes, the injury concerns are real, but that's the gamble you take. The other ones left don't move the needle for me....
  3. Or Polanco..... It drives me nuts when people say a diuretic is a PED. It's not. It doesn't make you faster or stronger. It's not a stimulant. It makes you pee, a lot. that's it.
  4. Because we have no track record of being able to do so? The Twins need a proven ace, period.
  5. His dWAR was -.6 in the 92 games he played. Just by he eye test, he looked to be a below average defender too, IMO. He'll have to continue to hit to make up for that. The league will adjust to him, will he be able to adjust back? We are going to find out...
  6. The Braves got out to a fast start on the relievers market this season, adding Will Smith and bringing back Chris Martin. That is along the lines of what fans wanted the Twins to do last season, but the Twins decided to stick with their same bullpen and it ultimately paid off until the games meant something. FIFY.
  7. Does anyone else think he runs weird? it looks like he kind of shuffles and doesn't pick up his feet much...
  8. Why would Detroit want Rosario? They are in total rebuild mode...
  9. And you have no proof that he was taking PED's. This is from an article about the suspension. "Pineda's suspension was reduced from the standard 80 games to 60 games because he successfully argued he did not take the drug to mask PED use."
  10. MLB didn't think he was masking anything, because that's why his suspension was reduced to 60 games.
  11. If he's healthy and some team can get him to throw his slider more, they could end up with a pretty good pitcher...
  12. nope. He's going to regress from the season he had at bat this year. Put that at first base and you've got a good 1st baseman but nothing special. Then who catches?
  13. IMO it will be disappointing if he doesn't play a premium defensive position, i.e. SS or CF. Other positions are easier to fill.
  14. Nice reply. I guess i should have elaborated a little more on my original post. The thing with Stewart and Jay is that they didn't even become decent enough prospects at the minor league level to be considered part of a trade package. Of course not all first round picks are going to become stars, but you at least hope they become decent prospects that have trade value. Neither one of those did.....
  15. Meaningless? it made the the game 3-1 at the time. Not his fault the bullpen gave up 2 in top of the 9th and Kepler swung and missed (again) and Cruz stood there and took strike 3 in the bottom.
