Grossman & Mejia

[Aaron Cross]

What's their timetable for return? Could be valuable additions.

[Squirrel]

I've heard nothing on Grossman but Mejia looks close.

[Squirrel]

I take that back ... not sure if Mejia is close or not, but he did have a strong rehab start the other night (according to the minor league report). It was his first rehab start, so don't know what that means, if/when he'll join the ML club and in what capacity.

I think Santiago has a rehab start Sunday and Mejia on Monday. And recall reading that Castro has begun some baseball activities again.

I thought Santiago was moved to the 60-day DL?

 

I can't keep up anymore!

 

Still haven't heard a thing about Grossman, though.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yep, Santiago is on the 60-day DL.

Just like making a trade.

Not a Grossman fan, but anything is better than Vargas right now.

It is quite ridiculous that the Twins have a 4 man bench in September.

[jimmer]

Grossman's .360+ OBP is helpful.  What's strange, though, is that Sano is going to be limited to DH.  So if Grossman plays, it's in the OF, hurting the defense.

[stringer bell]

Santiago is either already at 60 days disabled or very close. If he is activated someone else will have to taken off the 40-man. The Twins have been optimistic about Meíja's chances to return. Less so for Santiago. I think to expect any of Grossman, Sano or Castro to be sharp after being disabled is wishful thinking.

[Brandon Warne]

 

Yep, Santiago is on the 60-day DL.

 

For some reason LaVelle reported this as season-ending yesterday. I can confirm he's still on the same timeline. 

[Darius]

This team needs Mejia so badly. He was pitching well when he went down, and that 5th rotation spot has absolutely killed them this year.

[Darius]

Strib is reporting that Grossman will take BP tomorrow and then head to Rochester for a "quick rehab assignment". Sounds like he'll be back mid-week. Agree that anything is better than Vargas right now.

I'm not really so sure.

 

Vargas is pretty terrible, granted. But has Grossman gotten a hit since June?

Um, yes, he's had plenty of hit since June. At least 27 of them :-) In fact his July slash was .250/.375/.325 (or a better stat line than June).

If I'm doing the math right, Vargas' slash line since June is .253/.359/.429.  The raw numbers are 17 for 67, with 4 doubles, 2 HR, 10 BB and a HBP.

 

I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

People see Grossman and don't expect a lot so when they get something then he is doing good. They see Vargas and expect a lot so if they don't get a lot then he doing poorly. JMO
