Any word on when Altuve is expected to be playing again? I haven't seen anything since he had a setback...and it wasn't his hamstring, it was knee discomfort. Everything I've read in the past couple of days has been non-specific. "Longer than originally expected." |

I don't think that is a good sign. Then again they have always acted like it was a National Secret that couldn't be shared with the Public when it comes to injured players.

sometimes the truth sounds rude. Just an opinion.....Correa would be better off if he had never met this heifer That’s not the truth. It’s just your opinion. the truth and my opinion are one in the same.  He has been screwed up sense proposing to this wench at the end of game 7 of the 2017 WS. He has a lot to prove before we should give him a long-term deal. |

Don't you like Julia Morales? She’s not Mexican. She’s messican. Julia is fantastic of compared to the dumb broads working for the Rangers. Brianna the marketing airhead gets on my nerves. |

I think the real topic would be if Straw and Fisher keep it up could this spell the end of Kemp and White? Maybe Jake? Not saying anything crazy just asking?

Serious Question about this team.
Straw keeps being Straw and steals bases gets hits and plays amazing DEF.
Who gets the Axe, when Springer gets back?
If Fisher keeps being a decent hitter, do we look to trade him while his value is high or de we send someone packing? Who?
What would be a decent package, livable for Whit Merrifield of the Royals? Marcus Stroman of the Blue Jays? Seth Lugo of the Mets?
Just curious im not saying they would go all ouy and go trade happy I'm asking with the team we have currently. Could adding a Whit Merrifield to play all over cuz he is so versatile be enough?
Of adding a Marcus Stroman to take Corbin Martins spot on the Roster? Martin may. Ot be ready yet..
Seth Lugo to knock of Chris Devenski, maybe make him part of the deal going the other way. Lugo has Starting ability, but he is pretty dang good keeping games under control.
What would this team look like if you added those three just those three?

Coulda swore since Straw has been up there has been many wows comming from both Verlander and Cole. But incould be mistaken. Straw cant play def or even yet cant throw from the OF...
Proven wring the other day. Cant remember who said he wasnt very good out there in the OF but you know who you are.
Straw is Elite fast and Faster then everyone on the team by far. He steals bases with ease and thats scary for SPs. Takes them off there game.
I hope he stays and they move Fisher while the getting is good and he has value

Thumbs down. The better defender should stay out there, and the worse one gets the DH. What I don’t see as urgent is for Marisnick, Kemp, and White to all stay on the roster. |

At this point, if we get people back healthy, I don't see why we need Kemp or White any longer. Even without Yordan or Tucker up here, Fisher and Straw are both outperforming Kemp and White, and Marisnick is slowly creeping back down also (although I think he stays with the team for the rest of the season).

I'm starting to wonder if Alvarez is the trade chip. Luhnow's referred to him as a pure DH directly and indirectly on separate occasions, and guys like that Hinch and the front office don't put too high a premium on going by the track record

I really feel like we're going to need more starting pitch depth this year and for the postseason. I don't see how we manage to keep all of these young OFers. |

I think they are doing what they have said they are doing since the begining. He will play 1st Base. He needs the ABs and the playing time. This will put YULI on notice aswell as White. DH is the postion that they rotate for days off. So why just play Yordan at DH if they feel thats all he can do. A smart person once said. Whats the best way to play LF or RF? Have a good Bat. If Yordan can show he can play 1B look out |

management doesn't seem too enthusiastic about Yordan playing first base for some reason according to the news reports

Mlb network says Indians will be Sellers according to there sources among the team.
Carlos Santana, Brad Hand, Fransico Lindor and Tyler should all be avaliable.
Wonder the Price of Brad Hand and maybe Tyler or Santana would cost?
Im sure Lindor is Expensive at this point.
Wouldnt mind having him but then what do you do on playing time?

Verlander does not have the final say on who is on the roster, but, I would think when a player of his stature speaks......management listens. Jake starts every one of Verlander's starts. Marisnick is much more valuable than White, Kemp, or Fisher. |

If anyone thinks that the Twins will be near .700 winning pct by season's end, they are crazy. Too early for them to panic. |

Jake starts every one of Verlander's starts. Marisnick is much more valuable than White, Kemp, or Fisher. Good example of that is the Osuna - Giles trade. JV raised all kind of hell, but Luhnow pulled the trigger anyway. Which btw is my leading crow eating event here. |

The best shot we have for a blockbuster pitcher is Greinke. He is in his age 35 season and two more years under contract for $32M/yr or about the same rate as Verlander with some variation on accounting of signing bonuses due and trade bonuses. Arizona is about a .500 team with him and ripe for rebuilding without him.
If, and it's a big one, Arizona decides they need to focus on the future, selling Greinke, who would not be there after a rebuild, could be on the block.
He is definitely the best starter available who is on a team that is not in the hunt this season, and not expected to be available after a rebuild.
Now I have no idea whether this has been discussed, but he is one of the few pitchers that would significantly improve the Astros and their chances over this and the next two seasons.
A move like this is risky and would probably cost us a core player, but we have some pretty good replacements for position players.

I promise you Lindor will not be traded. Period. VooDoo hears 'sellers' and immediately assumes massive fire sale, gutting the team and starting over. Three of the four names he mentioned have two and a half years of team control. The Indians will keep them if they're retooling for next year. Leonys Martin Dioner Navarro Tyler Clippard Adam Rosales Ryan Flaherty Those are the Indians who will be FA this winter. They're definitely on the sell list. |

What would you acquire for Álvarez if you were Luhnow? |

He has been screwed up sense proposing to this wench at the end of game 7 of the 2017 WS. He has a lot to prove before we should give him a long-term deal.
