Parker is cooked. I'm fine not giving Kimbrel $45 million, but they will have to give up prospects instead. In the meantime, sign Kuchel and put Pineda in the bullpen.

I just cant see Falvey and Levine pulling the trigger on a couple stud relievers anytime soon. Its really a slap in the face to all us fans.

I guess that depends on whether one considers Capps legit.

 

A) I admitted it didn't work out right off the bat.

B] He was a "proven closer."

C) They sure gave up legit to get him.

 

Verdict: I think he counts, and I hope to the gods the next front office that tries does better.

Darn... I think we really could have done something against Cimber there. Marwin just barely missed a 2 run HR.

Well, he took a big swing. Not sure that's "just missed."

I don't see how you could have any basis for this. I'd be the other side and give you odds.

If I told you Tyler clippard would start for the Indians tonight, we’d score 7 runs...would you think we’d have won?

Well, trades won't happen for at least four weeks, more like seven. So I doubt anyone adds help any time soon.....

I definitely can see it happening. It's just hard to imagine because Falvine hasn't had the opportunity with a club in a position like this so there's no precedent.

They say when you hit the ball directly backwards, you were closing to hitting it... or however that saying goes.

The Twins have led a blessed life in 2019, with the hot start and Cleveland spinning its wheels. It would suck if it’s the Twins who wakes up Cleveland and this becomes a race again. Although the games this summer would be funner. :)

Twins need to win tomorrow or else Cleveland is going to be right back in the division race. 

with the Carrasco news, I'm more worried about the White Sox than the Indians. The White Sox have a 2001 Twins feel about them.

My money is on Parker being better than Kimbrel the rest of the year. And that’s not saying much, I’m pegging Parker for about a 4.50 ERA.

 

There are better options than a guy who skipped spring training and hasn’t pitched since last year.

Unfortunately, he pitches for the Astros now.

If the Twins really were after Kimbrel, the end of this game shouldn’t be stopping there momentum in finding upgrades.

in four to seven weeks, sure. He was the one available before that.

 

Even then, do you think the will really trade stud prospects?

With all due respect, which other world class reliever is out there freely available?

To be fair, this front office hasn't been around forever.

The number of Twins relievers I have any confidence in to pitch in the late innings of close games is down to 1 (Rogers).
