  1. Howie - re: the power arms. One point Parks made in his podcast was that some of these k-guys might not be k-guys in the majors. He brought up Berrios in particular as a guy he likes but his stuff might not lead to a lot of strike outs in the majors. And he reminded us that a lot of low k-guys in the majors struck out a lot of guys in the minors. Slowey avg 8.4. Radke 7.0. Baker avg about 8 at AA and AAA. Meyer will strike out guys and Parks liked Jorge longterm for that, as well. But it's a good reminder that the k's don't always travel.
  2. Had heard the Span rumors but nothing about Revere. Looks like the Twins timed the trades pretty well last year.
  3. This is a pretty bad post. The racism charge, even if you aren't brave enough to claim it, is insulting. On the plus side, that means we can ignore the rest of your ranting.
  4. I think this article is, mostly, right on but I'm not sure if they held on to Span and Willingham I'd be disappointed. Liriano will be gone and probably for low A pitchers that the Twins think will help in a few years. A market for bullpen pieces could develop giving some value for Capps, Burton or Perkins or the Twins could keep all three. It'll be interesting to watch the explosion here if Capps option is picked up.
  5. Nice read. Interestingly, in the other trade Smith got killed for, if you like bWAR, Capps has been worth 2.3 for the Twins to Ramos' 2.0.
  6. It's hindsight but taking Gary Brown (or Zack Cox) instead of Alex Wimmers would have been nice. I don't know if either player was really on the Twins radar but both seem to be progressing well.
