Gordon and Rocker should be the first ones offered in a trade. How in the system would you consider overrated? Who is underrated?

Overrated I'd Wander Javier he always projected as top ten because he was top international players a couple years ago. The guy is always hurt and he does everything very mediocre.

Trevor Larnach he just doesn't hit for enough power to play 1B at the MLB level. 12 home runs in 558 career Minor league ABs is not going to cut it. The only saving grace is his OPS is around .850 so maybe he can turn some of those doubles into home runs as he gets older.

Underrated
Brent Rooker
It's not even close guys is slashing .280
With OBP of .391 in AAA. The problem is the twins have no space in the outfield for him and let's be honest you hope he develops into a young mans Nelson Cruz but Cruz is already on this team so no DH spot for him.

Brusdar Graterol
If his shoulder didn't get hurt he would be in the rotation right now. I've been told by scouts this guy has better stuff than Berrios. The problem is he got hurt and the twins refuse to say what's wrong with him to the public.

Any chance we call up Rocker this year if Cron doesn't get healthy?

He will be a September call up for sure. I expect him to be traded at the deadline for a package for a starting pitcher though. As much as I love him what your hoping he turns into what type of player in the MLB ... C.J. Cron lol

It finally happened. We traded Brian Navarreto to the Yankees for .....

CASH!

We didn't need to help the Yankees. Why not get a pitching prospect back?

You are just mad that they sent me the cash for this one and not you. :) Its a bit amusing that we traded a catcher to the Yankees. Another 40 man roster spot is opened up for this year and beyond.

I just found out they are using this money to buy bobbleheads for a future game.

I gave up some of the cash they were gonna send me so they could acquire Jeremy Bleich. I also helped them get a better deal on the bobble heads.

Twins Acquire Sergio Romo for Lewin Diaz. I sure hope this isn't there only bullpen move but I'm fine with Romo pitching the 7th of games.

It's interesting that they also got Chris Vallimont and a player to be named later also. I'm guessing this is another move to open up a spot on the 40 man roster and probably add some younger prospects/lottery tickets...oh and they added a solid vet reliever for this season.
