    I'd guess they almost have to put in claims on Moore and Lopez since the bullpen has been looking pretty shaky. I wouldn't mind upgrading Luplow, but I'm skeptical that the front office will go that route.

    Clevinger also on waivers now.
  3. twins_89
    Do you know if it is today's records that form the waiver order, or will it be the records on the 31st when the claim is settled?
  4. twins_89
    Anyone know how the waiver claim order works? I know it goes by record, but is it AL teams before NL teams or are they all mixed together.

    It would be great if Funderburk could solidify himself as the second lefty in the bullpen over the next month. I've been hoping that Moran would step up, but he's just never found the necessary consistency.

    Since his 4-4 game, Gallo has gone 1-17 with 12 SO. How much failure will it take for the Twins to finally move on.
  7. twins_89
    I'm a bit curious why Luplow is still in the majors, it seems like Austin Martin could provide a lot more production as a right-handed outfield bat.
  8. twins_89
    The 4-4 game from Gallo is really looking like an outlier. He was truly awful for a long stretch before that game, and since then he's gone 1-12 with 8 SO.
  9. twins_89
    I don't know that I'd call Castro irreplaceable, I think Austin Martin could fill the same role while being much better at the plate. This offseason it will be interesting to see how the Twins handle Martin, Castro, and Gordon since I'm not sure more than one of them makes the 2024 opening day roster.
  10. twins_89
    Martin really seems like he's ready for the majors. If Wallner misses any time, I'd give Martin the chance to take a lot of those ABs.
  11. twins_89
    I doubt that I've ever wanted to waive a guy coming off a 4-4 game with 2 HRs, but Gallo needs to go. He's been so bad for so long that I just can't convince myself that he's somehow going to turn a corner and finish out the season strong.

    I'm curious if anyone knows why Simeon Woods Richardson's fastball was consistently sitting in the 86-88 mph range? I thought he used to have a 92-94 mph fastball.
  13. twins_89
    Joey Gallo's wRC+ by month: Mar/Apr 183, May 86, Jun 81, Jul 55, Aug 4 I think Gallo's last stand already happened in July. He hasn't been good in over 3 months and his production has been trending the wrong direction the whole time. At this point, there is no credible reason for Gallo to still be on the roster.
  14. twins_89
    Gallo is getting worse as the season progresses and I think it is way past time to cut him loose. Over the last 30 days he's got an OPS of .483 and a K% of 54.5%, there is no way he should be on a major league roster at this point.
  15. twins_89
    Moran has to be close to getting sent down. I wouldn't mind giving Funderburk a chance, he seems like the best reliever in AAA that hasn't been given a chance.
  16. twins_89
    Luplow gets his first Twins hit on a 46 mph pitch. I'm still not exactly sure why he's here,
  17. twins_89
    I'm finding it harder and harder to believe that there isn't someone at AAA who could be significantly better than Gallo. Over the last 30 days (doesn't include today's 3ks), Gallo has an OPS under .500 and a K% of 53%.
  18. twins_89
    I'd rather have given Garlick the roster spot. Garlick has been really good at AAA for the last month and has already proven that he can be a useful bat when he only faces lefties. I'm honestly not sure why the Twins chose Luplow over him.
  19. twins_89
    Since we didn't trade to address the team's issues, it should be time to bring up Garlick and Funderburk. That would give the team someone who can hit lefties and a left-handed reliever who at least has a chance of being an upgrade. I also think it would be worthwhile to give Winder or Sands an extended chance in the bullpen (rather than bouncing them back to St. Paul after they pitch).
  20. twins_89
    Pagan is a decent reliever when entering in the 6th or 7th inning with nobody on base. Where he gets hammered is when he has to pitch in the 8th or 9th, and it gets even worse if he comes in with runners on base.
  21. twins_89
    Lewis is finally succeeding at the major league level, so at this point I have no interest in doing anything to disrupt that success. I'd leave him at 3B/SS and find an alternative path to upgrading the outfield.
  22. twins_89
    Gallo's ABs are to the point where stealing home has a better chance of scoring a run than waiting for Gallo to get a hit.
  23. twins_89
    I feel bad for Pable Lopez.
  24. twins_89
    Once you get past Duran and Jax (plus Stewart/Thielbar when available), the Twins bullpen is incredibly weak.
  25. twins_89
    Unfortunately, Pagan is a guy that as the pressure increases his effectiveness decreases precipitously.
