Why? If it doesn't happen now, it can happen later. Maybe a contender's 2Bman breaks a knee in Spring training. Self Imposed deadlines are just that and can broken self imposedly

6'1???? He grew 5 inches in a year? Wow.

If all goes to plan the Twins and White Sox will be getting good again at the same time. I'm looking forward to that rivalry rekindling.

I don't disagree and don't think Dozier's value is going to get any higher. But if the FO doesn't like the deal, they shouldn't just take whats on the table. Id like this done before Twins Fest, and the longer this goes on the more likely Dozier starts the year as a Twin

In less than 2 months Pitchers and Catchers report in. Times a wastin'!

So his job will be to decide which prospects to trade Dozier for?

Nice article. (Even though we have been saying the same things for the last several years) its not so bleak. But will require a lot of things to break the Twins way - they can't get bad results/unlucky EVERY year. Jay has the stuff to be a top line starter - he just needs to stay healthy and build up stamina. He could be in the bullpen at the end of the year for the Twins and ready to be a rotation fixture by 2018. Stewart also has the ability to be a a really good MLB starter. My hope is he realizes that hitters have the ability to catch up to his stuff so he has to learn to use his pitches to get strikes outs. He could be starting games for the Twins in July

Wow. Great effort here. Thanks for putting this together, I agree with many of the others that it seems a bit odd to include guys who did not sign. It really skews the data.

Hloy **** David Price Chris Sale Porcello Rodríguez Wright what an amazing rotation...on paper

His story is sort of similar to John Schneider (GM of the Seahawks) Hopefully he has the same level of success!

Players taken as a rule 5 guy have to be on the active 25 man roster for 90 days. I don't think that will happen with Thorpe

Luis Arraez is 19 years old....19!!!! Yes his BABIP is unsustainable...but...holy cow. What a 2016 for the kid...

Trading Dozier is the right long term move. - I just hope Falvey and Levine have had time to self scout the organization.

Opinions vary. If my memory serves me right you had Levi Michael ranked pretty high last year. So who's to say which process is the best way to evaluate prospects. I for one enjoy reading what non-twins fans think of my team's prospects.

They saw Garvers's D in the AFL and couldn't sign a catcher fast enough.

I would like to know where he prefers to play - 3B, 2B or OF?

If this deal is on the table you take it

Wow where did Arraez's power come from? I still think he is going to struggle when he faces better pitcher but what he is doing has been fun to watch

I heard the Redwings are going to pull their affiliation with the Twins over this. They planned for Goodrum Palka Park and Walker to break every single strikeout record before the all star break. Now thier plans are ruined

The only guys they should add are: Mitch Garver Fernando Romero Felix Jorge Bubble guys: Zack Granite Engelb Vielma

Walters: Molitor open to using more analytics wants to keep his job

If Goodrum can keep stay healthy, get walks and start hitting for power he would become pretty interesting. The injury bug and his bad plate discipline have been holding him back. He is a good athlete with positional flexibility so if he cuts down on the K's he could be a great bench player.

Dear New Regime Please draft better than the previous. Thanks A Twins Fan

I am enjoying watching the development of Rodriguez as he turns into a pitcher. Hopefully the club pushes him a bit next year

It doesn't say what happened to Antony. I would assume he is gone because it would be uncomfy with the new boss working with the old boss. But either way the purge is starting! Looking forward to more changes!
