Twins sitting on next Mike Trout?

I love the hype machine. Mike Trout had a once-in-a-generation type season and they're already dubbing someone "the next Mike Trout". Nothing like saddling a kid with unrealistic expectations.

Sounds like the Twins were catching some flack from their fans for trading both Span and Revere; if this guy can be hyped up a bit, it makes the loss of the other two a little easier to take.

The man batted less than 200 in Double and Triple A this year, so if the Twinkles say he is another Trout so be it. Put him in center field and let him play because they are not going to make the playoffs anyway and this way they can see what they have in him.

the twins trade as many players, now would likely replace and cover the big gaps in the outfield???
guess twins would take a few steps back before becoming a tough team in th e national west.. division,,

next mike trout huh?? we have to wait and see it!!!

there are 99 misses for every one star-I'll believe it when I see it

dickey should ask to be traded to boston,, a place where he would perform into a better escenario!!!

rangers stadium and the heat at texas would likely kill dickey higher expectations,,, or does him?? i mean can he be able to afford the heat???

But the Twins were putrid last year with Span and Revere. Span brought back a potential ace in Meyer, and Revere was traded for Worley, who has been at least solid.

The main problem with the Twins last year with a sh!tty rotation, and they're trying to fix it. If the fans have a problem with that, then they don't know baseball. Two likely starters for two singles hitters? Good deals for Minny.

the twinkies are thin and weak everywhere your eyes can see it,,, and there is no hope at all next season, the houston and the twins would become a twins in the last place in the american league,,

No, the Twins' Benson is NOT the next Trout. Players like Trout come along about once every two to three decades. No offense to Benson, but he is no Trout. He might be good, very good, even, but Trout? No. Get serious, Chicago Tribune.

One exec who thinks he "has the same across-the-board tools as Mike Trout" should stop drinking the Kool Aid. And return to reality. Benson could be good, he is no Mike Trout. Not even close. If I am wrong, please tell me why.

Haha, benson has great tools, but high contact certainly isn't one. Strikes out a ton. Has power and tons of speed, but mike trout is mike trout.

The Twins seem to be having separation anxiety this offseason.
