Do we think any Twins starter will have a CG this season? Not sure, but I’d wager it would be Gray.

Gray or Joe Ryan.

Gordon doesn't have options so he would have to pass through waivers and go unclaimed for a minor league assignment. 

Yup, decision coming.

Can we please see the good version of Pagan today not the bad version

I don't know if there's a good version...only a less bad version.

I think it's a good point that Buxton might not really be able to play CF any longer or they may not want him to. There really isn't another CF player on the roster or at AAA. I doubt they want Lewis to play there. Gallo could play there but that's not ideal either. Taylor is a role player. 

I don't think you can carry Taylor as your only CF. I think Gordon by that reason alone has a spot on the roster forsure all season this season. They likely could target another player who can play CF in the offseason.

Who is warming up in the pen? I have a feeling we could soon know which reliever won't be traveling to L.A.

It was Jorge Lopez, but Pagan might stay in

Pagan threw 23 pitches. I don't think he'll be back out.

Lopez was warming up in case they got another hit or two and it got close. Now that they are up six, and given that Moran and Sands threw yesterday, I'm guessing it's Alcala.

Hopefully Alcala gets both innings, but I could also see a Jax confidence inning.

It'll be Helman or someone that can play center and infield. I don't see how he makes past the trade deadline. If he could play in the infield and hit he would have a better chance but he can't do either.

Ideally Buxton takes one a week in center but that's looking less likely all the time. I'm OK with Taylor mostly full time. Helman and Castro are a nice pair of rotating utility players with options. They need the flexibility.
