    Sounds like Addison Reed is coming off the DL to take Duke's spot on the 25 man roster.
  2. twins_89
    The return is about what could be expected for Duke. De Jong looks like a fringe prospect who doesn't have great stuff and is likely behind a lot of the Twins current pitching prospects. Costello is at least a little interesting in that he's producing pretty good numbers in low A.

    My guess is Mauer is back with the Twins on a 1 year $8M deal (I just don't see anything more than a 1 year deal making sense). Having Mauer back would give Sano another year to prove he can stick at 3B and let Rooker start in the minors to show he can dominate AAA.
  4. twins_89
    Rooker's SO/BB ratio has steadily been improving all season. In May it was 4.1, in June 2.5, and in July 2.1 (his last 10 games it has been 0.9). He's had an OPS over 1.000 for two straight months and really looks like he needs a promotion.
  5. twins_89
    Here's my list of guys who look ready for a promotion. AA->AAA: Rooker, Thorpe, and Jay A+->AA: Barnes and Wells A->A+: Badoo and Ober R->A: Keirsey and Williams

    I'm beginning to wonder if keeping Belisle and using him in high leverage situations is sneaky way to tank for better draft position.
  7. twins_89
    I truly don't get how Belisle is still on the roster.
  8. twins_89
    I bet Moliter didn't expect to have to leave Rosario at 3B for 3+ innings when he pinch hit for Adrianza.
  9. twins_89
    That would have been a very good strategy.
  10. twins_89
    I don't mind seeing Joe go after the first pitch. There are way to many Mauer ABs where he watches the first pitch go right down the middle of the plate and it ends up being by far the best pitch he sees in the AB.
  11. twins_89
    Who's going to play 3B?
  12. twins_89
    I'm actually a lot more worried about being able to score a couple more runs than I am about the bullpen.
  13. twins_89
    Hopefully that is it for Lynn. His velocity was down and he was struggling to find the strike zone in the 6th.
  14. twins_89
    Lynn is a pretty good pitcher when he throws strikes 70% of the time.
  15. twins_89
    Hard to be optimistic about a Lynn vs Sale matchup, especially when the Twins just traded away their second best hitter.
  16. twins_89
    The best word to describe the trade is underwhelming. A couple of C level prospects (plus another sub C level guy) at low A make me wonder if the deal is worthwhile. I guess if I had to point to one promising aspect of the trade it is that all the guys coming back are pretty young.
  17. twins_89
    I'm not a fan of quantity over quality in prospect trade packages. I guess we'll find out if the Twins front office can identify prospects who are better than the consensus ratings would indicate.
  18. twins_89
    I say give Garver as many starts behind the plate as possible. If he can develop to the point where he is remotely competent he'd be a great building block. His bat seems like it's going to be well above average for a catcher, so we really need to find out if he can stick behind the plate.
  19. twins_89
    Over the last calendar year Gibson has been the 20th best starting pitcher in the majors in terms of fWAR (Berrios is 17th). To even consider trading him should require a huge package coming back and I doubt that an appealing offer is out there. I'd be more than happy to sign him to a 3-year deal this off-season.
  20. twins_89
    That took some guts to let Gibson rack up 120 pitches while having to face Betts, Benintendi, and Martinez.
  21. twins_89
    I hope I'm wrong, but putting Gibson back out there seems like a mistake.
  22. twins_89
    I'm not encouraged by the number of balls that have been hammered by the Jays. The 3-4 mph Santana's lost really seems to make a huge difference in terms of the batters squaring him up for hard contact.
  23. twins_89
    If Santana can get a mph or two back on his fastball (sit 90-92 instead of 89-90) I think a he could be used as an add on piece to get a better caliber of prospect in a Dozier or Escobar trade (assuming the Twins eat most Santana's salary).
  24. twins_89
    Anyone waiting for a sign that the Twins should sell clearly got it today. An inside the park HR by Drew Butera to seal a Royals sweep is the most clear sign I've ever seen.
  25. twins_89
    You are right about the comp pick, there's a decent chance it would end up as as comp B pick. I think Escobar accepting the QO is the third most likely scenario if it's offered. Declining the offer or signing a multi-year deal with the Twins seem more likely to me.
