Now keep dealing. Deal all of the guys you can in Suzuki, Willingham, Parm, Colabello, Correia, Fien.

Love the Seattle thought Stacey. They get a bat upgrade and a "now" arm for a guy they'll never use (Franklin) and a great prospect.

Per @Twins_morsecode, newly-acquired Tommy Milone will report to Triple-A Rochester. #MNTwins

And unless they trade, he's going to AAA

The Twins are so smart. They're working Florimon in 3 spots in the infield.

So later this season, they can have 3 utility guys man the SS spot, while the guy that should be the SS plays CF.

Just

wow

Mackey says Milone has been bad at AAA Sacramento in July. I guess that's why. Doesn't mean I agree with the Twins.

I'm told not to read too much into Milone heading to AAA. Just pitched Tuesday. He'll be w/ the #MNTwins soon.

As soon as they complete a Correia trade, hopefully.

Status: offline 		If Correia/Suzuki/Willingham are dealt, Nolasco has the last "albatross" contract for the Twins. Can start fresh. Gotta find some way to clear that one and then have plenty of cash for upgrades.

2016:
Meyer
Berrios
Gibson
Hughes
Milone
Pen: Perkins, Jones, May, Tonkin, Ibarra, Burdi, Thielbar/Fien (tons of options coming)

Buxton-CF
Rosario/Dozier-2b
Mauer-LF
Sano-3b
Vargas-1b
Arcia-DH
Hicks-RF
Santana/Polanco-SS
Whoever-C (because they're idiots and will never play Pinto there)

Dustin, isn't Mauer's an albatross at this point? It has to be.

Mark my words Ed, Florimon will return and play SS in September for the Twins.

Of course it is but Dustin would never admit to this. Mauer at 1B is a joke. He is hurting the team (albeit only when he plays) by being a nonproductive run-producer in a position that begs for a power hitter. Further, he is holding back other players who could be inserted at 1B.

Kudos Dustin for admitting Mauer has been poor this year. And yes, I hope he returns to being a reasonably productive hitter. But he had better be in excellent physical condition next February!

And again, he was a bargain for the Twins for years and years. That's the way the baseball system works; you get way underpaid for your first 6 years, then overpaid in general after that.

The #Twins are being lauded by execs for getting #Athletics starter Tommy Milone in Sam Fuld, trade, knowing he will be big part of future.

It really is a great trade, especially with the dearth of LHP starters in the system.
