Update and Questions

I’m biased having over-invested in him in fantasy year back, but it seemed to me that injury derailed the big “breakout” year, and hes had some flashes of brilliance.

Personally, I think he would have been fine last year if they hadn’t decided to make him change positions. I can think of a dozen teams that could probably afford to give him 500 ABs this year to see what he has in him, and if Reynolds was available for two middle relievers I can’t imagine a high price tag.

At this point I dont think Gordon get a top100 return type guy. But Ramos for Gordon would make a nice match.

Twins have 5 other SPs that, to them, might make more sense to keep. Liriano and Pavano don’t really need explanation. Baker seems to be favored by the Twins (Opening Day starter last year) and strikes out more guys. He also might get less back with his bigger salary. Blackburn has 3 years and a lot of money left on his deal (and wouldn’t command anything in a trade). Duensing seems to be a favorite as well and has certainly performed (regression to come) so far. He’ll also be cheaper. Add Gibson as a guy who seems ready or close to ready, and the Twins probably would like to trade a starter. Slowey just seems like the guy they’d like to get rid of- at least that’s my interpretation

do you mean that they are now out of baseball, or just have no chance (i.e. too old) to be considered a prospect again?

Jason Stokes

was originally Sean Burroughs, but he had OBP values of .380+ all the way thru the minors…if anything, SD wanted to make him more aggressive.

So I’ll guess another catcher named Ben…Petrick

(I really think KBR nailed it with Davis, though.)

( I honestly don’t think hes the answer, just like any opportunity to label him a failure)
