    Updated Summary of Twins Transactions and Rumors for Days 1 & 2 Wait for it..................................
  2. sane09
    "Overall, Twins bullpens over the past 4-5 years have turned in entirely predictable performances, so there's that. I'd love to add an "unpredictable" reliever like Tony Sipp, Darren O'Day, etc. for a change" I agree. If I were to argue against that, I would have to slap myself. But I'd like to keep Rogers as a SP and pick up two FA LH relievers.
  3. sane09
    Never said that. How about ONE LH starting pitcher?. Milone has been removed from the rotation on this blog repeatedly.
  4. sane09
    Neither Dean, nor Darnell were even listed in the top 100 Twins prospects in the "BA 2015 Prospect Handbook". I admit that doesn't guarantee anything, (I coached Matt Duffy in HS and Pony League) BUT it does IMPLY something.
  5. sane09
    Jason Wheeler's best tool was his ability to exist at AA.
  6. sane09
    Is that a definite "could"? Either Burdi, Reed, Chargois, Graham, Jones and Hildenberger COULD be legit MLP RP's. But NONE of them can be LH SP's. and Rogers COULD be THAT guy.
  7. sane09
    That is ridiculous. Obviously no signing (reliever or otherwise) guarantees anything, but it can give you much better odds. If you are saying that relievers' performance is NOT more unpredictable than other positions, you are disagreeing with common knowledge. Too unpredictable or NOT TOO unpredictable is a valid argument. Relative unpredictability compared to other positions is no argument at all. Seth is likely just repeating what the great majority of baseball people say repeatedly.

    The Twins LH starting pitchers are Milone in MLB, Rogers a prospect at at AAA, and then drops to Gonsalves and Thorpe who are prospects in A-Ball. They NEED LH starting pitcher prospects, so Rogers is necessary as a starter and unnecessary as a reliever.
  9. sane09
    IMO - The plan for Trevor May should be to keep him as 7th-8th inning reliever until several of the "currently too young" reliever prospects become MLB-ready. By then, hopefully Nolasco and Hughes will be gone, and May can go back into the rotation. IMO - when Nolasco/Hughes are replaced by Berrios/May is when the Twins become SERIOUS contenders with a rotation of Santana, Duffey, Berrios, May, and Gibson.

    Santana playing CF was a success. Santana playing SS was the disaster!
  11. sane09
    No you are NOT crazy. Yes, I would trade Nolasco for Shields straight up. If I were the Padres, Would I trade Shields for Nolasco straight up? You ARE @#$%@#$%@#$% crazy!!! You must think that I am @#$%@#$%@#$% crazy!!! I'd RATHER trade San Diego winters for Minnesota winters! AIN'T NO BLEEPING WAY!

    Why are you so determined to chase a harmless old man out of his only job?
  13. sane09
    Was Joe Montanaroseannadanna a good QB?
  14. sane09
    Is she also related to Carlos, Ervin and Dannadanna Santanaroseannadanna?
  15. sane09
    If my memory still functions, I believe that relievers become cheaper as Opening Day approaches, and it becomes a buyer's market.
  16. sane09
    "but 10% of your 40 man roster including Pat Dean?" MY POINT was "So 10% of the roster there for protection only is not abnormal" It may not be a good thing, but is NOT ABNORMAL for most MLB teams.
  17. sane09
    The 40-man roster on Opening Day 2015 contained Jason Wheeler, Logan Darnell, Lester Oliveras, Stephen Pryor, Jorge Polanco and JR Graham. That is 15% of the 40-man roster who were there: 1) for protection only (Graham) 2) called up when rosters expanded (Darnell) 3) UNEXPECTEDLY had to be called up due to injuries (Polanco) 4) Never reached MLB (Wheeler, Pryor, Oliveros) So 10% of the roster there for protection only is not abnormal.
  18. sane09
    We protected them, so that if they develop NEXT season, they won't be playing for someone else.

    On the other hand, regarding ARBITRATION: At the end of the season, if a player is eligible for arbitration, the team has a certain window with which to offer arbitration to that player. Offering arbitration doesn’t necessarily mean the two sides will go before the arbitrator. It simply means the team is interested in retaining the player’s services. A good amount of times, the team and player continue to negotiate before the hearing and settle on a contract....from http://viewfromthebleachers.com/blog/2007/12/01/mlb-arbitration-explained/

    •Once a team makes a qualifying offer, the player has two choices: he can accept the one-year deal or decline in search of other offers. If he declines the offer and signs elsewhere, his new team will have to surrender a top draft pick ...October, 2015 explanation from: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/10/explaining-the-qualifying-offer-system.html

  22. sane09
    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/10/explaining-the-qualifying-offer-system.html I don't believe it's the same as offering arbitration.
  23. sane09
    Isn't this thread about tendering Casey Fien?
  24. sane09
    Actually, I was talking about Fien, who WAS tendered.
  25. sane09
    or from MLB?
