Berardino: Chargois Coming Up

[twinsnorth49]

 

Can't wait for Bert to (try to) say Chargois a bunch...

Charge-oys.

[rghrbek]

 

Have the Twins heated up the Target Field gun in the last few weeks? Ryan Pressly has hit 98 several times and Ervin Santana hit 96 a few times last night.

 

Pressley has hit 98?   I think this needs more attention.   This is a large step forward for Twinskind

[John Kelsey]

Woooo I get to change my member title.

Yeah it's been impressive. He's shown a slider/cutter at 91 recently too.

shaggy.

[HitInAPinch]

May, too.  And Gibson activated.

"While the 29-year-old Hughes will technically be placed on the DL due to the knee issue" ...........

 

"Regression from May, too, has plagued the Twins.".........

[Vanimal46]

Awesome. Let's hope the manager uses him, and he isn't Polancoed.

Polancoed... nice. Also applicable:

 

Meyered

Keplered

Rogered

[Otto von Ballpark]

So May and Hughes to the DL, Gibson to the rotation and Chargois called up?

 

Dean is still in the rotation, and the bullpen is still without a long guy.  But good to see Chargois, and hopefully May comes back strong as a starter.

Chargois. Can't wait to say Chargois a bunch. Chargois.

Shag-wa, Shaggy, Chargy, Pengwing, Pengling.

Well, we still have the deadwood of Jepsen in our rebuilt bullpen. Wonder what will happen to him.

 

And Pressly is the only guy available for options.

 

Let's see Gibson shine. Dean get back to an adequate swing. And Duffey curveball batters to death.

 

I would love to see May go on a rehab to the minors and be put back into a rotation tryout, even if it means an extended stay.Of course, who knows how long he will be on the DL.

 

Can only hope that Hughes gets a comfortable DL rest in what is proving to be a lost season (shades of Nolasco). 

 

The Twins will need to make some 40-man changes, again, soon!

Let's maybe not make "Rogered" one of them.

[Otto von Ballpark]

Not quite.  In addition to Pressly and now Chargois, Boshers and Rogers can also be optioned.

[Otto von Ballpark]

 

The Twins will need to make some 40-man changes, again, soon!

Not really.  They'll have to drop someone whenever Perkins comes back, but it could easily be Mastoianni.    But they don't have many other guys in need of a 40-man spot.  Logan Schafer and a bunch of pitchers, most of whom we've cut before (Albers, Darnell, Milone, O'Rourke, Wheeler, plus Sean Burnett).

 

I guess some guys, like Arcia, could become 40-man casualties because they are out of options and we need the 25-man roster spot.  But we're not quite at that point yet.

[Otto von Ballpark]

I will say, kudos to the Twins for calling up Chargois instead of Sean Burnett!

 

Burnett does have an opt out coming up on June 15th.  I guess I wouldn't be opposed to cutting Jepsen and adding Burnett on that date.  Although Burnett's Rochester stats aren't all that impressive, I suppose there could be a better use of the spot (and the $1 mil we'd owe him if we called him up).  I probably wouldn't want to take innings away from relievers who might have a future here.  Wheeler might deserve a look.  Or maybe an extra bench player?

Make sure you keep a copy in the likely event you need it again.

[Thrylos]

 

Or Sid Hartman....

 

Does he still talk?

[ashbury]

So if he's only up for 15 days, would you take the over or under on 9.5 saves? 

Yes.

Does Hildenberger go to Rochester? Seems like he's shown he can handle AA and he's already 25.

[ashbury]

Sha Gwa. Easy peasy. Though, it helps to be a little drunk when saying it; more slurring, less pronunciating, just like any French word.

Dean is still in the rotation, and the bullpen is still without a long guy.  But good to see Chargois, and hopefully May comes back strong as a starter.

If May can't locate is fastball, he's not going to do any better as a starter than he did as a reliever.

[Danchat]

Is Chargois the first bullpen prospect to come up since... since... uh... I can't remember the last time a legit prospect came up as a bullpen option. Can someone help me remember?

That sure didn't take long.  Did he even get to check in to the hotel?
