If both Willingham and Morneau are traded, Arcia goes to LF, Parmelee goes to 1B, but what happens to RF? Doumit? Ramirez when he comes back?...

You're changing your argument. Please list the players. If you just cited Cody freakin Ross to defend your argument (the definition of a lucky fluke...

So you advocate using extreme viewpoints to make your case in any and all circumstances? You know who else held that position, in Germany in the...

They did pick up players. Reed, Stewart, and then... mostly crap, really. Maybe I'm forgetting someone. Ryan was too cautious in the second half of...

The Jays are in a difficult situation that doesn't apply to the Twins. They're in the AL East. They can't let a slow trickle of prospects develop and...

Are you guys arguing that the Twins of the 2000s would not have benefited from getting a real DH in exchange either for money or a prospect? The...

IMHO, Lavelle is overrated. I have read just about everything he's written over the last decade or so, and I recognize several patterns of lazy...

Regarding Willingham and Morneau, I think one's opinion on their future with the team would be based on what you think this team's chances are in...

I'm actually fine with how the Jays approached it. They built their farm but couldn't get over the hump, so they made some aggressive moves to turn...

exactly.

Great, can't wait to see what Max can accomplish in Cedar Rapids.

I don't know, what has Gardy done well this year? They are winning about what people thought they'd win, if I was the manager, you, or Gardy...... ...

This, this, this. I hate to be the guy who yells "Scoreboard!" as proof of anything, but it needs to be done in this thread. We're not lacking...

Yeah, because the side that wants a change in philosophy is all-about, and only about, $300M FA contracts and trading away big-time prospects for...

I would....if that worked. Look back at the last 10-15 years of WS titles and tell me what big trades landed them that title. Truth is, your odds...

Then use the Brewers. Or the Dodgers. Or any number of teams that have banked everything on 1-2 years and absolutely collapsed because of it. The...

Not all prospect trades are for rentals. And, even if they were, would you trade 4 years of decent/goodness, followed by this mess, for 1 or 2 WS...

I'm not a Gardy fan by any stretch, but I'd have to agree with your insights. The FO will say Gardy's time is up if the incoming wave of prospects...

Certainly groundbreaking.... Not really, Morneau and Willingham should be moved and we all know they probably will be. I'd rather see Parmalee...

Keep in mind that any of these "big trade splashes" would have meant us trading multiple top prospects back in the day, guys such as Liriano,...

Since Gardy is basically managing for his job I doubt he will be thrilled with trading Willingham or Morneau, if that happens I think they need to...

Ding ding ding. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Ask Giants fans what they thought of Sabean from 2005-2008. Or Tigers fans what they thought of...

Tis true! I was thinking there'd be some kind of financial limitations in place and nine would probably get us there. Then for the other 16...

I have no idea, parker, what this org's plan is. It is clearly not "rebuild and play the young guys", it is clearly not "acquire good MLB players and...

Only nine albatross contracts? Hell, I can think of a few posters who have advocated more than that by themselves.
