    Preach SD Buhr! To build on all that, the geniuses in the FO should also be able to evaluate talent not currently on the market—those that could be acquired by {gasp!} trading some of our “can’t miss” prospects. They should be able to evaluate our home grown talent well enough to know which are over-valued by outsiders and use them to acquire actual/established talent. Put an actual team together, not an organization made up entirely of lotto tickets. That means an appropriate mix of prospects, vets, trades, quality FAs, and even the occasional dumpster dive

    Dumb. Better than granite or the angels dude. Thumbs up
  13. 7r4de me
    Dumb. I agree with others who say granite should’ve been DFA’d. Arms are better than......uh.....Mendoza liners. I guess that’s the upside of this guy and granite?
  14. 7r4de me
    Meh. Payroll commitments have been systematically cleared for signings like this? Greater minds than mine, but I don’t see the logic. Haven’t seen the corresponding roster move yet but hopefully granite is gone. We have OFs that can play D and his 8 singles per season won’t be missed

    We could sign Hamilton and roll with him and buxton in the outfield with a 5-man infield

    he probably is trying to avoid having to tell guys they won't be suiting up for the twins anymore the real question is why hasn't the fire sale continued? at this point, probably another half dozen guys that either need to or should be traded.

    C'mon Eddie, quit swinging at everything and then striking out--you are supposed to work the count full and THEN strike out. like the rest of the team

    If FOs around the league like polanco half as much as TD people I say trade polanco and keep dozier. Does no one see the error in constantly chasing the almighty prospect? Guys who never live up to their potential are a dime a dozen. I see everyone saying we need to trade dozier so we can upgrade our horrendous pitching. How recently was everyone saying these same pitchers were amazing prospects? How many star prospects have we had the last several years that didn't pan out--how many currently in the system not materializing? At some point people need to gain their sanity and stop trading a bird in the hand for two in the bush. Let someone else make the mistake of thinking every single player in our farm is the next trout/kershaw. to build a championship team you need a good mix of vets and young talent. In 2 years dozier is more likely to still be good and polanco is more likely to still be learning the game (or in AAA for the 10th time, haha. That's not funny) Keep dozier please. Don't trade him for a bag of chips like some people were suggesting a couple months ago. Other random thoughts: Ugh I HATE the royals!!!! Can someone please tell me what we got for Arica?! I assume just a little cash but I can't find it anywhere! And for that matter, what we got for Jamey Carroll--that one has been haunting me for years haha! Prolly just a steak dinner...

    I don't understand what is so wrong with centeno. I don't get any twins games in nv so I can't see his defense but seems to me his offense is as good as most catchers in the league. Why can't he be an option at starter? Why can't coaches work with him on shortcomings--everyone seems to have so much patience with everyone else in the system. Murphy is garbage and everyone is like 'well should we give him more time? Could he be a serviceable backup?' Ugh. Cut him. Now. Centeno is fine. Keep him until a great solution smacks us over the head or go out and spend some money--I saw Antony's quote about money not really being a problem, so......

    The problem of seeing what we have in guys at the ML level is that if we find out that the potentially something is really nothing, the rest of the world finds out at the same time, and then that is what we are left with. I think we should trade SOME of our prospects and actually get something
  24. 7r4de me
    I always posts on here of people saying something to the effect of "why not call him up and let him play everyday so we can find out what we have." The part of the Twins' cycle of failure that everyone complains about is holding onto vets too long/not selling at peak value. The other part of this cycle I never see comments on is the constant reliance on the unknown--the almighty "prospect." We keep waiting on these prospects to save us (every year posts are about how great we will be in two years), but how often does a top prospect actually pan out? I agree we need better scouting/development so we know what we have before guys get to the bigs. Since the majority of prospects don't ever end up being difference makers then why not trade them for known commodities? Let's package together some of these scratchers/lotto tickets and get in the Chris Sale sweeps, or go after someone who is actually known to have big league value.
  25. 7r4de me
    Trade polanco. If everyone else thinks he is going to so great then let them take the risk. I like the idea that we could be buyers right now and maybe we can get a player who is good now (who we can also control for a few years), and actually try to contend sooner rather than later (not necessarily in 2017). Package him with grossman and/or a bullpen arm and try and get someone really good. Money isn't an issue right?
