also, delmon as much as he's maligned here, could possibly stand to get out of tampa into a different system. TB hasn't been very good about keeping their talent happy. Minn also has really strong pitching and putrid corner OFs, this solves a large whole and gives them some shot at getting a superstar in rf to go with mauer for the long haul.

The problem with him sucking is that each year he takes longer to "get it" puts him farther from ever being a superstar. I'd probably say he was more likely 2 years ago to be a superstar than now.

agree lots with this, but the twins aren't out to lunch on the trade, maybe wishcasting a little too much though. We'll see for sure if morneau/santana are dealt.

Crisp, Lester, Lowrie and Bowden seems pretty close to being done apparently.

Why shouldn't you? Your team is in rebuilding mode.

Because when it compares to a potential Yankees package, Cabrera/Hughes > Crisp/Lester, no?

Hughes>>>>>>>>Lester. Cabrera is roughly =, maybe a little worse than Crisp but far cheaper which is what is important to the Twinkies.

Melky has a lot more "upside". If I was rwperu I'd say something about "tools" or "floors/ceilings" or how I'd give part of my soul to fellate this guy, but instead I think guys who hit the bigs at age 22 and are MLB avg CFers have a pretty good track record as a whole.
