Ok then its a rather simple bet.  I bet than none of the major prospects Jenkins, Culpepper, or Rodriguez gets called up this year.  You willing to take that bet?  

That is not the issue, it's why they are not and either reason if they don't I won't agree with it, nothing I can do about it.  But I can make my opinion known  Accept a different opinion.

Emma is on the 40 man, so he is locked out, right?

I figured he would come back for the end of the season.  Of the 3 he is the most likely to get called up in my opinion.   He has had enough years in the system.    He is old enough and he goes back to the Dominican during the offseason.  Either case I think the potential lockout will keep all 3 from coming up.  I also didn't think they would win today though.  So who knows.  Say what you will these guys are fighting for each other.  

Edit:  Mike I get what you are saying and yes you are correct.   So Emma needs to come off the list.

Heck of a win, boys.

Whenever it looks like they're going into a complete tailspin, the Twins step back from the ledge and in such unusual ways, i.e., beating Cleveland at their own game - defense and the bullpen.

Not sure what Tom P is going to do in about 10 days, but if this team is within a couple of games of the wildcard or division, they're earned the right, at the absolute very least, to have a status quo training deadline and an opportunity to chase the post season.

What would be really nice is a tangible investment so they have more than a puncher's chance but I'm not holding my breath.

There was a similar discussion yesterday and I almost started a thread about it, but one more thing to consider…

With one of the new CBA discussion points being talked about being a shorter time in arbitration (5 years instead of what usually ends of being 7), might there actually be an advantage to starting their service clock this year and potentially getting them grandfathered in to the new system.

Hey not sure anyone else saw,  The Twins went over their alloted signing bonuses by nearly $250k   Thats a first.  

I've been pretty skeptical of Tom's talk ever since he took over, but this is basically the only thing they can do between the start of the season and the trade deadline to actually show increased investment in the team, so I have to give him credit here.  Even if it amounts to like a third of a minimum contract.
