    Sorry but I'm not bothered if the Twins are characterizing these offers as 1:1 offers. Dozier for De Leon, Sheffield, and some low C prospect of our choice? I would call that 1:1. Sheffield is a guy with red flags who is not on track to debut in MLB for at least three more seasons-- as a reliever. Sheffield is not insurance against De Leon not working out.

    So let me get this straight: some folks say the Twins have "no chance" to contend in 2017, but to those same folks, 80 wins is a bit worrisome?

    hell, I'll take 80

    Brad Radke - we all know Radke's background and fight. Radke made it known that he planned to retire following his age 33 season in 2006. Shane Reynolds. Reynolds was big contributor to those strong Astros teams of the late 1990s, but long story short, back problems at age 32 might have torpedoed any trade value he might have had. He was never involved in a trade. Tim Belcher was traded his age 33 season for Roger Salkeld, a 24 year old who by the stat line looked to be an AAAA arm. Per bbref, Belcher had been a free agent until signed by Cincinnati on May 3, and then traded to Seattle on May 15, so maybe there is some additional back story there. But on the surface, Belcher didn't net much in return. (This was in 1995, the season delayed until late April by the 1994 strike). Belcher was coming off an ERA+ 83 season in 1994 but pitched fairly well in 1995 and in following seasons (ERA+ of 106, 126, 93, 111 in 1995-1998 seasons).

    Ted Lilly, involved in 4 trades before age 28, then traded in 2010 during his age 34 season From bbref: July 31, 2010: Traded by the Chicago Cubs with Ryan Theriot and cash to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Kyle Smit (minors), Brett Wallach (minors) and Blake DeWitt. Lilly was pitching well for the Cubs (ERA+ 115) but I'm not going to try to make sense of that trade as the Dodgers don't seem to have been in the pennant race, but perhaps just wanted an arm. The following season Lilly pitched to ERA+ of 93 in 33 starts, then hung on for a couple more seasons battling injuries (I assume)

    Woody Williams, age 34 during 2001 season, traded August 2 (waiver status?) from San Diego Padres to St. Louis. Cardinals received Williams in exchange for Ray Lankford, corner OF by then, also age 34, OPS+ 114 at time of trade. Williams was still a quality pitcher after age 33 as noted above. At time of trade, Williams had made 23 starts with ERA+ of 80 for Padres. After arriving on Cardinals Williams pitched to 7-1 record and ERA+ of 190 in 11 starts. Williams made only 23 starts his age 33 season, but had continued success for many years after. ERA+ of 111 in 24 starts in his age 39 season.

    Pete Harnisch was at the very end of his career at age 33. No trade value. Kevin Gross made 23 starts for the Dodgers in his age 33 season, ERA+ of 109. Was granted free agency following 1994 season. That offseason, signed 2 years, $6 million by Rangers which I will guess was a good contract. Made 30 and 19 starts the next two years with ERA+ of 88 and 101. Involved in no trades through his 30s.

    Ken Hill at age 33 would only be acquired via free agency from that point forward, but at age 31 (and having a 93 ERA+ season for the Rangers) was traded at the deadline to the Angels for Jim Leyritz, a part-time C/1B by then. Hill pitched well for the Angels after that trade: through the end of 1997 had an ERA+ of 128 in a pennant race. 1998: ERA+ of 96 in only 19 starts (injury I would guess) 1999: ERA+ of 101 in 22 starts and 4 relief appearances 2000 (age 34 season): ERA+ of 77 in 16 starts (very poor) and released by Angels in August.

    Thanks. This removes some of the guesswork.

    All things considered Delmon has to be up there. We saw a couple good moments but immense talent in a guy who never seemed to try, care, or be nice to anybody.

    And maybe the players weren't aware of that or were told it wouldn't matter.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I would guess the players are protesting because they had every reason to believe this issue was settled when the "I'm glad this is over" comment was made, and now they feel betrayed by the coach/AD/president or some combination thereof.

    However, it doesn't explain why we have 12 fingers and 12 toes......
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    "someone with knowledge of the situation" maybe?
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I wouldn't have an oz. of courage to do that.

  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yes, I agree completely. Short interview but I loved everything Falvey said.

    I think Yasiel Puig is good for the game but bringing him here is a bad idea. It would be fun to watch Molitor and Twins Daily posters grapple with the reality that is Puig. The highs and lows of Rosario and Sano will look downright boring compared to what this guy does on a daily basis.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think even Jeter would disappoint a few here. Sometimes it seems like anyone lesser than Johnny Bench, Ryne Sandberg, or Brooks Robinson is a failure of leadership. /trolling The Twins are holding a better hand than people think. Mark my words.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Thank you for driving the discussion!
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yep, she nailed it. (should I be scared) Honestly, at SS I think we can string it along with Polanco or Escobar another season (we're not supposed to win more than 70 or so, right?) and actually Esco was above average in 2015 so maybe he recaptures that form. Pitching. As you know, there are roughly 29 other teams also trying to trade for quality pitching. There will be a trade for pitching at some point.
