Or maybe this just makes for a very interesting trade dead line as well. I mean really think about the trade deadline is sometime in June. And we are still in second place. We are not out of it yet. So that is why I think the Yankees have some sort of plan. Maybe a Montero package for some pitcher. We do have Romine and a very good hitting catcher by the name of Gary Sanchez in the minors. And all though I really don't wanna lose Montero if it can get us a decent Pitcher I'd do it.

I'm more afraid of losing Buenelos in a trade because you know every team and their mother will be asking for him.

I wouldn't trade Montero for a 3 month rental. Posada may be on his way out, and Montero's bat is going to play, especially in that ball park. Unless they're getting someone like Jose Reyes form the Mets (who don't have a position for Montero with Ike Davis manning 1st base), I don't see it happening.

Sanchez might be a guy the ship out. He's only 18, and is probably a ways off considering his age and the fact that he's in Single A. I think a package of him, Romine, and maybe a lesser prospect, would be more than enough to net a nice piece. The only question that I'd have is; is there really anybody out there that would be on the trade block worth two top 100 minor leaguers and is that person a long term solution or a 3 month rental?

Not that I can think of. I am trying to think rationally here. Hmmm..... Buerhle will most likely be available. And maybe Liriano. He is doing pretty bad but I am willing to make a wager on Francisco. But in my honest opinion he is not worth 2 top 100 guys maybe 3 depending on who this lesser prospect is. And besides the Twins probably don't need 2 more catchers with Mauer of course. There are a lot of Pitchers I'd like to have for that but like I said I am trying to think rationally not have a fantasy draft. Liriano might have his problems but we might be able to fix him if available.

This reminds me, I'm going to start checking Seattle scores from here until July.

I wonder how serious the M's would be in moving Felix. He and Pineda fomr a pretty dominating duo at the top of the rotation. With Smoak getting a full year in this year, and Dustin Ackley getting closer, the M's could be in contention sooner rather than later.

By sooner, I mean during the duration of Hernadez' contract.

Well, the Twins have to start making some bold decisions concerning Mauer coming up, here. His injuries are killing the team right now, and wit catcher being such a physically demanding/draining position, I can see them either rotating Mauer and Morneau at DH/1st base.

Mauer's contract isn't going anywhere, so they need to do something to get the most out of him. Being the everyday catcher at this point should not be an option.
