Eat Innings...dont waste them on prospects right now. "Better" is relative.

Mgt has done an ok job w an ok roster this season. Theyre the experts ont us

Uhhhh...nooooo...the Twins still have one of the worst bullpens in all of MLB.  I wouldn't say that management has done a good job with the BP!

The FO is doing a competent job, given the constraints placed by ownership's vision during last off-season.  That's as far as I'm willing to go in singing their praises.

I'm a little more bullish although not too much more. Would you agree that this year is an improvement in FO performance?

They should be able to make good use of his 90.4 mph 4-seamer.

The bullpen has almost completely turned over.  Gomez is a true find.  Beyond that they just keep rotating in relievers.  Banda had started to settle in before his injury.  Sands is still injured.  Andrew Morris seems to have made a spot for himself. We really need to find 2-3 solid relievers through waivers or trades to have an effective bullpen for the playoffs.   I feel like we are a starter short and currently don’t quite have the lineup to make a run but the team seems to be gelling which it struggled to do last year.

Anderson was already optioned to St. Paul.   It will be interesting to see if they treat him as a reliever or the next SP depth piece.
