I enjoy Twins fans, we overvalue our players and undervalue everyone else. Do you really think you're going to get Justin Verlander for Ben Revere? I like the trade, most pitchers don't hit their strides until they're around 28, you have Worley who has had some success at age 25 so he has 3yrs to mature in the majors.

I will miss the enthusiasm that Ben showed every time he played. The Twins are going to miss Ben's athleticism and speed on the field and around the bases: was hoping that he'd fill the hole in Center Field. I just hope that Worley brings to our team better stats than those of last year because I have the feeling Revere is going to grow into a very good all-around player.

Revere has a weak arm and a weak bat, speed is his only plus, ryan made a nice haul with this trade.

Hmmm. Remember how much fun it was when the Twins got rid of Carew, Bostock, and Hisle? It's the late 70s, early 80s all over again. I hope this works!

Fail! I don't like this trade. We are sacrificing hitting and decent defensive play for mediocre pitching.

The pitching is definitely needed, and I commend the Twins for making some moves, but Revere....C'mon man. The only reason they won the games they did last year was because of the speed on the bases, and some good outfield play. It surely wasn't the hitting and power numbers, yet Ryan trades that speed away.. Questionable moves, but we can only wait to see what happens. Will miss Revere's speed, hustle, and smile.

Hated to see Revere go. I thought he was a good fit and his hitting was improving with his experience. His only shortcoming was his arm. Nevertheless, I like the acquisition of young talent. Hopefully we can get a new coach in place of Anderson who can mold these young recruits to excel to the maximum of their abilities instead of molding them into something other than their natural abilities. Thanks Terry. I, like others, still hope there is room to acquire a #1 pitcher to lead this team of young pitchers.
