The Twins should be trying hard to acquire former Gophers slugger Robb Quinlan, who is playing only sporadically for the Los Angeles Angels.

Odd

Never thought I’d hear “Robb Quinlan” and “slugger” mentioned in the same sentence, with the possible exception of the sentence, “Robb Quinlan is not a slugger.”

Do they have any decent bullpen arms they'd actually be willing to trade?

by Brew Angel on Jun 15, 2009 1:32 PM PDT reply actions

two guys who could make sense are...

luis ayala and matt guerrier. ayala will be a free agent (like quinlan) after this season and guerrier will be in his last year of arbitration after this season. for guerrier we would probably have throw-in a low-md level prospect or a player to be name later (ptbnl).

yeah, trade Q

…and bring up B Wood as replacement.

by Fred Fredrix on Jun 15, 2009 1:58 PM PDT reply actions

I like Wood as much as the next guy, but ...

Q is our main backup at 1B. Who else can play there??

Wood can play 3B and the inner IF (where we have a ton of players, Aybar, Izzy, SRod, Howie), but not 1B.

Bring Salmon back from retirement to back up Morales at first.

Angels fans would piss themselves with happiness.

Rivera

Granted, he can’t play it well, but he did play some spring games there last year, and hey, he can play 2B, right?

I'd love to see Quinlan net us some arms...

But seriously where would they slat him? What value could he bring to them?

The Q can be serviceable at the corners. But you aren’t going to sit Morneau or Creede. And I don’t think Q can take playing time away from Cuddyer or Span. So where does he play? What role would he have?

Q can’t have a lot of value for the Twins, which would net us very little in a trade. Unless we package him with Aybar.

Cuddyer

His finger is taking away more playing time than Quinlan ever would

I’d be happy with former Santa Ana College pitcher David Bromberg.

Trade him after today's game

The only Angels who has raked Zito

20 ab .350avg 3HR 5RBI

Bet he starts today

Angel Pitching (Adenhart), Angel Defense - get past that.

Hopefully this works in our favor.

Never Happen

See, Quinlan has the exclusive lease of the same compromising pictures of Scoscia that Josh Paul had….there is no other logical reason for those 2 having locks on a job..

Maybe those pics aren’t exclusive for Q anymore….I can easily see how Mathis, Aybar, Vladdy and Fuentes could have copies..
