    Proposed trade to the Astros MLB.COM has a trade proposal for Buxton to the Astros for Twins get: OF Chas McCormick, RHP Forrest Whitley (Astros’ No. 5 prospect), OF Colin Barber (Astros’ No. 7 prospect)

    Buxton would be a free agent right now if the Twins hadn't kept him in the minors a few years back, right? Would the Twins have given him a QO? If only we could see what that alternate timeline would show (I loved the TV show Community & their alternate timeline episodes).

    I'm not sure how BTV calculates those values, but as a Cardinal fan, I can say there is no way they'd trade Flaherty for Arraez. Flaherty produced 5.5 bWAR as a 23 year old and Arraez has 5.9 bWAR in ~2.5 years. The Cardinals won't give him up, he's seen as their young ace. Yes, he was injured, but he came back and pitched at the end of the season so he should be good to go for 2022. Now, if Arraez was a slick fielding SS.......

    Maybe the Yankees (kinda) wanted him, but needed to clear a roster spot, and had another deal to do that fall through? There are lots of possibilities, I doubt the Yankees ever really offered anything for him, probably just were in discussions with the Twins.

    Luis Gil already has 1.1 bWAR for the Yankees. I didn't even know he was on their MLB roster yet. I think they sent him down but are planning to bring him back up for his next start. (Story I saw said he was the 27th man on his start last night.)

    This is something I've wondered about. Are you referring to the MLB rule that a draftee can't be traded for at least one year? I'm not sure they still have that rule, can anyone confirm? TIA
  20. snap4birds
    One thing I was wondering about was the quote before the draft (from scouting director?) that they would be looking to take hitters early. Then they drafted a pitcher first? Then a SS, but followed by mostly pitchers. It doesn't bother me, I know they aren't really going to reveal their strategy, for obvious reasons. It just makes me think, never trust an interview with a coach/manager/GM. I don't think any Twins fan will complain too much about them focusing on pitchers.
  21. snap4birds
    Sounds kinda like Jake Cave for Luis Gil ?. To me, the overall tone of the article was whether or not you trust the Twins front office to make good trades at the deadline this year (based on previous years results). I think in the last few years there were people on here that felt the Twins had fleeced the Diamondbacks, etc. I'm not sure anyone got fleeced.
  22. snap4birds
    The Twins could always acquire someone in July to fit above him in the rotation, if they're in playoff position. So I wonder if that's what the FO is doing here, trying to shore up the rotation and see if they can bring in someone with a bigger impact possibility at a lower cost than now (whether that's trading cost or $ cost).

    That story on the Angels clubhouse guy was really interesting. Said that some teams (Astros, of course) were altering the rosin bags in an attempt to improve spin rates. I wonder if Liam's improvement was related to a an improved spin rate?

  25. snap4birds
    Meh. Looking at the bWAR from these players after the trade, they each produced 1.5 for their new team in 1988. Next year, Herr was traded away, Bruno produced 1.7 bWAR, then -.5 in 1990 before they traded him for Lee Smith (over 4 WAR the next 3 years). If that's your 'worst move ever' your organization has an exceptional track record for trades.

    I haven't looked much. This https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2020-mlb-undrafted-free-agent-tracker-agreements-for-all-30-teams/ is free and still being updated. They indicate if someone was on one of their lists (top 500 going into draft, top unsigned seniors, etc.). Makes it look like KC is killing it in this phase.

    Yes. I think only one other state does, too, but I can't remember which one. State tournaments usually started the first week of July for softball and a week later for baseball.

    Well, come on down to Iowa. High school baseball games started yesterday :-).

    How about a top 100 ranking right now? Eric Longenhagen just released his top 100 on Fangraphs. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2020-top-100-prospects/ Duran comes in at 63.
