You might want to use your imagination and change 10% of the 26 player team.

Last year was 25% of the 40 man roster.

That didn't take long to turn to hell.

Sending Lewis to the Saints is only gonna make any possible development and changes non-existent,  If anyone here listened to Trevor today on skor-north he is 100% right about Wallner and Lewis-  If those 2 are serious about there careers and not worry about there Status -moreso Lewis than Wallner , both at the Pivot of there careers and need total resets and St. Paul is not the answer ,  Go back to where they started  Change what ya need to for awhile --then Prove it in A.A.A and  hopefully will see them back up here ,  at this Time  A.A.A  ONLY Makes it worse .  Sorry  but i want them both back to what we expected and so should they ,  Especially Lewis -  very immature !!!!!

I loved Plouffe’s idea of sending Wallner and Lewis to Fort Myers together. He’s correct, this team isn’t going anywhere without them figuring it out. 

[Patzky]

Guess the wake up call has been given and heard.

B4 he said it ,  i liked that he said the organization probably dont want me saying this, also what he said about Morneau i thought was awesome and a great idea,   Refreshing to hear someone not being a Team schill  

[mrtwinsfan]

Maybe sending guys to single A gives them a message, maybe not. Are the problems for Lewis and Wallner attitude or is it something else. I don't believe it is best to rub noses in it although maybe it makes fans feel better about themselves. I don't see any reason why both players can't reset in St. Paul facing the closest thing to major league pitching.

[mrtwinsfan]

Alexander  vs Bell    ring it 

[Patzky]

Is Bell heating up? I read that he's had an unidentified illness for weeks..

[Permanent Twins Fan]

Bell is heating up

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Hopefully they don't turn this Alexander guy into CY Young.

He still needs 505 more wins to be Cy Young, but you never know

I'm not sure it's sending a message as it is just to reset.  If they went all the way down to Fort Myers, they could be away from the media and spend 2-3 weeks down there and then work their way back up after they spend time working on their swing, clearing their head, and maybe for Lewis, working on expanding his fielding to 1st base.  The great part about having the AAA club in St. Paul is that you can quickly call up players or get pitching help.  The detriment is that the AAA club is still in the media market as the major league club so there will be reports (probably including here) on how good or bad Lewis and Wallner are doing in St. Paul and whether they are finished as a player in the organization.  This was one of the messages that Plouffe wanted to get across today when the news dropped.

Griffin Jax is through 5 inning of 1 run ball tonight versus the Rays. He has thrown just 62 pitches. Looks like he is finally getting his chance to start, and is running with it. 

[Patzky]

Confidence building inning for Zebby but very very long. He won't get to the fifth at this pitch count rate.

[Patzky]

I hoped getting Martin out of the leadoff spot would break him out of his slump. Maybe it still will ..
