  1. If I was going to b a pessimist, I'd say they wanted this guy, but not until they knew they weren't going to fill the three remaining 40-man spots today. Still got two open spots though. Minor and Leclerc.
  2. So Marcos Diplan is a different human being than Mauricio Dubon who the Brewers traded earlier today. It took me a couple of minutes to figure all of this out.
  3. That's been my outlook on the Twins and sports in general for quite awhile. Plenty of other things to get angry about, and even those things, it's usually better to not to. I got kids, I don't want them learning that angry stuff from me. Besides, I'd rather watch a baseball game the Twins lose than watch the Bachelor.
  4. He was a top 60 prospect and I'm guessing Miami isn't looking at his batting average. If Miami wanted a top 100 prospect SS in AA, the only thing the Twins could have offered was Royce Lewis.
  5. I don't know, I looked at this guys numbers and he's never done much outside of the PCL. If he's the Brewers #3 prospect, that doesn't look terribly promising for their farm.
  6. I don't know, Pomeranz looked like he was heading toward DFA territory and the Giants got a MLB ready 2B in the process.
  7. I don't know anything about Twitter, but isn't 3K+ followers high for someone with only 7 Tweets? Also, now she says Zach Wheeler is the fall back option if they don't get Minor.
  8. The feeling that after the mob rolls through with their muddy feet, torches and pitchforks you'll have to rebuild the entire site all over again if the Twins don't make a satisfactory move(s)?
  9. I'll just assume it's Thad Lavine's daughter and bring your kid to work day just happens to fall on the trade deadline.

  12. At one point I had Vazquez, Giles, Yates, Smith, Diaz, Lugo, Iglesias and Garrett on my wish list but due to more recent rumors, their team's recent actions and injuries, I've felt I had to mentally cross most of them off. Though only in pencil, the sellers could just be gaming everyone, or have a change of heart.
  13. Right, if I have to settle for Daniel Hudson and Roenis Elias I will, but ugh, if that's the best this team can do, whether it's anyone's fault or not, this deadline is going to be a big let down after the flurry of rumors that have been flying for the last month.
  14. What if Sergio Romo ends up being the best reliever traded? Not just for the Twins, but the entire league. I'm worried that if the Pirates don't move Vazquez, there will be nothing but Romo-esque types available. This is disappointing, MLBTR is quieter this morning than it has been in two weeks. Bad vibes. Hopefully it's just the calm before the storm.
  15. I'll be pretty disappointed if there's not a significant addition to the pitching staff, preferably two or three. I'm starting to worry that very few pitchers of consequence are actually available though. I mentally departed with Kirilloff a week ago, so I'll hope there isn't a top end pitcher who gets moved who could have been obtained using him.
  16. Yeah, I could still make a list of players I'd want who I actually think will be traded, but that list is significantly shorter than it was a week ago when it looked like half the league was for sale. Still have 6+ hours for teams to change course though.
  17. I'm glad to see Celestino growing some pop, I used to think he had a Jarrod Dyson kind of ceiling. Becoming even a marginal MLB player like Dyson obviously is still a long shot, but I'm a bit more comfortable that he now does have a higher offensive ceiling than that.
  18. Seems like Giles is out, or at least he should be. Sounds like Syndergaard has mostly been a bluff this whole time. I've always been of the mind that AZ was too good and wouldn't actually sell, we'll see. If the Giants end up deciding to go for it and Pittsburgh holds on to Vazquez, we might not see as much activity today as everyone thought.
  19. I really want Syndergaard and think he can become an ace, but I don't think he is an ace right now. I'd guess if other clubs were willing to pay for future ace potential, he'd already be dealt. I'm not sure who, if any team will get him, but my money is on nobody meeting anything close to the Mets asking price. Not that it would impact my desire for Syndergaard, but I really liked Mickey Calloway as Cleveland's pitching coach, so the overall regression of the Mets' staff does have me a bit concerned. Maybe it's all the organizational dysfunction, or was there some kind of gimmick last year that the rest of the league figured out?
  20. I'd like an ace, but I don't know that one is available this year. Give me a reasonable Syndergaard deal; I'd be OK with Robbie Ray or Zack Greinke, but all of them would be slotting in behind Berrios.
