Depending on the injury, I think/hope Manaea is being undervalued by everyone except the Twins. Despite losing a couple of ticks on the fastball, he's still dominating everyone put in front of him...

I'd take the under. I think the division will be better with the Royals added to competitiveness. Plus the Twins are in rebuild mode so Willingham and Morneau could be gone by July. Their best...

That's exciting about Cuellar and the chage up. I wish Berrios (and everyone else within the Twins system) could have a change up like Pedro/Johan.

As far as Slowey goes, I used Verlander as an...

That's the reaction I predicted. Maybe I should have asked my question differently. If JO puts up the same type numbers, SHOULD he be pitching at AAA by the end of the year?

My argument would be,...

I also want to ask another question. If JO Berrios puts up numbers in his 19 year old season comparable to the numbers Pedro Martinez put up in his 19 year old season, will Berrios be pitching at AAA...

First I want to write that I realize Pedro Martinez is one of the best pitchers of all time who put up video game-type numbers in an era of offensive explosion and will no doubt be elected in his...

Great trade for the Twins. By the time the Twins are relevant, Shields will be gone but Myers will still be 5 years away from free agency, but playing in the East.

Sheesh, you people are mean.

I guess I was way off to think for even a second that a 24 year old with a 1.102 OPS at AAA and some time in the majors had any sort of value. And to be sooo...

MLB Trade Rumors writes that the Royals are dangling Wil Myers to try and aquire James Shields or Jon Lester. Could using Parmelee generate the same sort of interest? Literally they're in the same...

Aquiring good starting pitching for 2013 and the future is priority #1, but I'm scared that Span's likely successor in CF and the lead-off spot has a career .319 OBP. I think that is the biggest case...

If the Twins could get Shields for Span and Johnson for Revere plus a couple low prospects, do both deals and let Mastroianni handle CF until Hicks is ready.

I found myself cheering for Baltimore vs. the Rangers because somewhere inside me I thought it may help the Twins.

Does the Rangers coming up short make them more desperate to overpay for Greinke...

Would make sense, given how quickly it happened.[/QUOTE]

I'd guess the Twins would have paid Hanshin some cash to take Nishi, but don't MLB teams need to pay cash to the Japanese clubs for the...

If I was making the selection, I'd have no problems selecting Appel and giving him a fair offer for the #4 selection. I wouldn't go over slot. Then, if he doesn't sign, I believe the Twins would...

My guess is the best player available will be a toolsy high school outfielder.

Who would bring back a greatest return in trade: Span, Revere, Willingham, Morneau, or Parmelee?

I don't know where you find them, but I'd be interested to see the stats adjusted for the league these guys played in. I'm not sure how it was in 2012 but it seems the Eastern League is usually...

I think Ryan managed the 2012 payroll pretty well. Willingham is outproducing the guy he replaced and Doumit can serve as backup catcher so we don't need to see Butera behind the plate half the time....

I'd say Jeter and Miguel Cabrera.

What the hell do the Pirates have to do with this? Morneau isn't part of the future, he won't be here whenever they contend again. So you ditch that salary so you can play the cheap MLB ready 1B you...

One thing to consider is limited payroll through much of Ryan's tenure. Ryan's highest payroll came in 2007, the year before Smith became GM. That payroll "ballooned" to $71 mil because Mauer,...

Bad teams don't get better by shedding good players, regardless of how much they're paid. Look at the Pirates. Prior to this year they've been a bad team ever since Bonds left for San Francisco. That...

Bad teams don't get rid of expensive players, bad teams try to get better.

At the current payroll, the Twins should have the flexibility to add significant starting pitching and keep Morneau for...

I think DPJ's comments are misguided. DPJ wants to drop "Morneau off at the trash burner next to TF," and don't believe the Twins will "actually get some value outta the dumb Canuck," yet seems to...

Having the will to sign them is another. We'll see how much "Will" Terry Ryan has this off-season.

For now, I'm not getting my hopes up. He has said that he doesn't think free agency is the way to...
