Do the Twins Have a Shortstop Development Problem?
I think it's worth noting that while Keith Law is the most well regarded name that people turn to, it's somewhat impossible for him to have his finger on the pulse. He has 30 teams to cover and roughly 600+ prospects to keep tabs on. When it comes to the Twins, i'd place WAY more faith in the staff here and their opinions/rankings over what Keith Law or some other national scribe thinks.

Great teams win pennants but good teams can win the world series. The point is that the playoffs will always be a crapshoot. Your odds of winning it all increase greatly if your in the mix year after year. A mid market team like the twins cannot and should not go all in on a particular year. There are positions of strength they can and will deal from but at a certain point, the cost is just not worth it for some of the names that are available. This FO has a short reputation of making prudent moves and I would think that will continue to remain true through this deadline. That said, I'd certainly like to see them fortify the relief corp. Greinke and a reliever or two would be a good get and wouldn't kill the bottom line.- Navaretto to Yankees

I would bet that will be the last time Royce does push ups at 2nd base. I have no problem with it tbh. Bat flips, watching your home run...fine by me. Push ups at 2nd base? Thats a bit much.- Twins looking at Giles and Yates
Zero chance they offer up a package like that. Maybe one of the first three and maybe 1 of the second two at best.- Tim Laudner

Why are they is a good question...none of them have been lights out in the majors...nor have they been lights out in AAA. the way this FO has been acquiring talent I think we'll see some 40 man turnover this off season.- Twins Claim Oliver Drake, Johnny Field
Really? Inexcusable? lol...cmon. This is a lost year...if you pay attention, clearly the FO has a plan. Why bring up guys that need more seasoning in the minors? If they had guys in the minors that they felt were ready to audition for a spot, i'm sure they would bring the up. Why waste options on guys that aren't ready? Makes more sense to keep them where they are to work on the things they need to do to be ready. That gives the FO much more roster flexibility when they'll actually need it. - Article: Trade Deadline Thread: The Rumor Mill is Working Overtime
