So would you trade Floyd and Hudson for Lee and prospect?

No, the reason that the Twins would make the Lee move would be because they don't already have guys like Floyd and Hudson in their rotation. You don't make a move that hurts your team long-term, just to stop a competitor in the short.

Not a chance. How many of Floyd's losses will Lee definitely turn into wins? I don't think the difference is big enough, and Lee will be gone after this year. Floyd is signed at a good price for a few more seasons. Also, if someone in the rotation goes down, who will step up to take the spot with Hudson gone?

With the emergence of Hughes and Javy pitching much better of late, do they even need Lee?

 

No, which is why them having interest at all was ridiculous in the first place. Their starting rotation is as legit as it gets.

 

Acquiring a true rent-a-player has never been the Twins MO, but considering they've never had a team this talented before, it makes sense that they would in a push to win it all.

Interesting stat from Buster Olney, think its a coincidence?

 

Miguel Cabrera went through alcohol treatment in the offseason, and we'll never know if there's a direct correlation between that fact and one dramatic change in a particular statistic. Look at Cabrera's OPS in day games in the past three seasons:

 

2008: .708 (.982 at night)

2009: .851 (.995 at night)

2010: 1.101 (.991 at night)

Now Prince almost gets impaled.

 

One of these days, someone is literally going to get a bat stuck in their body.

 

They need to fix this quickly. But they won't till it happens.

 

2 outs.

Rick Helling was literally impaled by a broken bat a few years back.
