@bentlegen @sirstripy I think there are plenty of mediocre programmers who would love for this to be the case as well.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@J_D_Cameron @Kyleweinmeyer They get Pablo back, get to run Ryan/Lopez/Taj/Kramer/(Abel/Matthews/Rojas/Ober/Prielipp). Gallagher and Quick could also get some starts.

I'd go RP and a 1B/DH who is better than Bell. Hold on to the ammo for when one of the top guys fails.

@greggtmasterson But he's a fast white guy with little power, he has to be a high IQ player

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@Senga2Alvarez @dead_baseball Replacement level came from looking at how players from the waiver wire or traded for cash performed on average. They didn't decide on 48, that's just what it turned out to be.

@TwinsPolice @greggtmasterson KC has the big advantage of Gray/Kreidler both hitting poorly (Kreidler is hitting 0.088 in Jul/Aug). He can be a 90 wRC+ hitter and be a huge upgrade.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@RCCola___ @greggtmasterson Mitrovich Barr and Bohorquez are probably the only others that look like they have a shot.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@ChanFromMinny @BLindy420 He was, but we got Rojas/Tait who were better, as well Taj who wasn't a prospect but was a way bigger value than Hill. Abel wasn't highly rated publicly, but I think teams valued him more.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@L65094341 @jeremynygaard Front of the rotation upside from the stuff, but extremely poor control gives him a floor of never making the show.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@TBo45 @jeremynygaard Hill's control issues are way worse than Rojas. Also not sure how well Hill's fastball will actually play while we know Rojas' works really well.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@ErnieClementino @Sgt_Mac87 @MitchBannon @Ken_Rosenthal He has top of the rotation stuff but the control is abysmal. 36K%/17BB%

@jhelminmn @DexsTweets Easily LA

@KirilloffRBW I built a model and you are not wrong. 10/12/14/24

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@Dontwannabherr @NickNelsonMN He was atrocious in April with a 28 BB%, but he's been great the past 2 months with K%/BB% of 31/9 and 34/7.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@AidanOBrienMN I have him as a BP arm long-term. Not sure his FB will cut it at 92-93, will be a good pitch at 95-96.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@LetsTalk_Twins Probably a slight overpay, but Minter is a great add. Give it a B+ for now, will adjust depending on how expensive other lefty relievers are.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@RyanBurnsMN We are spectacularly mid

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@Kyleweinmeyer He's not near as fast as people seem to think he is. 59th percentile sprint speed this year, and his peak in 24 was only 75th.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@baseballisbest_ @AndThatsBB We have Caratini (15th in fWAR for C) and Alex Jackson (41st) as well, both under control next year. Our BP only has 2 good pitchers. Trading Jeffers for a good RP will help the team now and next year.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@tysonjunck @DexsTweets Them eating $15M is the price if we give them a prospect outside of the org top 100, $20M if they want an actual prospect.

[Ryan Nitz @Nitz__Ryan]

@stevenpo1989 @HotStoveintel If you believed that next year would have a better player available 1 pick later.
