    I really hope that no one in the Twins organization is considering putting Maeda back in the rotation.
  2. twins_89
    I'm not sure that Correa's .731 OPS in May (with a .504 OPS over the last week) is really any reason to get excited.
  3. twins_89
    Right now, Kirilloff and Gallo both need to play every day. I'd also like Larnach and Wallner to have an opportunity to compete for one corner outfield spot. That doesn't leave much room for Kepler. I'm hoping that this is his last chance to keep his spot and if he doesn't get on track fairly soon, he will be moved (going 0-9 with 4 SO since he came back is not going to cut it).

    I really hope the Twins take whichever of the consensus top 5 is available when they pick. It has not gone well for the Falvey when he's gone against the general opinion in the 1st round (i.e. Cavaco and Sabato). I've been impressed with the Twins drafting in later rounds, but at the top of the draft I trust the industry far more than the Minnesota front office.
  5. twins_89
    I think it is time to move on from Kepler. It's getting hard to justify playing him over Gallo, Kirilloff, Larnach, or Wallner.
  6. twins_89
    I've been waiting years to see Kirilloff and Lewis healthy and in the major league lineup together.
  7. twins_89
    I feel kind of bad for Wallner, he goes 6-6 at the plate with 2 BB and a HR over the last 2 games and still gets sent down.
  8. twins_89
    I think the Twins need to start experimenting with Buxton in CF. Have him play 1 game a week in the outfield and see how things go. If that is successful, gradually up his CF time until they find a CF/DH balance that works. I'm not sure that anybody is expecting Byron to be a full time CF, but being a full time DH doesn't seem like a great idea either.
  9. twins_89
    The team really needs to someone to play CF. It's a quarter of the way into the season and Buxton is healthy. If the team is unwilling to play Buxton in the field now, I don't know when they will be. Even playing Buxton 2-3 times a week in CF would make a real difference.
  10. twins_89
    Jax is on pace to have over 20 losses. That's pretty amazing for a reliever.
  11. twins_89
    Bases loaded with nobody out and Polanco/Solano both make unproductive outs without seeing a pitch in the strike zone. It's tough to win when getting such incredibly bad at bats.
  12. twins_89
    I don't think Buxton has to be in CF every day, but I do think he needs to start playing the position at least half the time. At this point I don't get why he can't even be a part time outfielder.
  13. twins_89
    Having Correa finally starting to hit is at least as important as Kirilloff coming back. If the Twins can get Buxton back on track (and maybe playing some CF) the offense could be pretty decent.
  14. twins_89
    First was Maeda. Mahle is the 3rd starter the Twins have traded for that has needed Tommy John in the last 2 years.
  15. twins_89
    With team control through 2027, Ober is looking a rotation building block. It's really nice to have Lopez, Ryan , and Ober all under team control through 4 seasons after this year.
  16. twins_89
    I don't have any real doubt that Ober is a major league caliber starting pitcher and will be in the Twins rotation for the next few years.
  17. twins_89
    The Mahle trade is looking like a bust. He's been with the Twins for around 90 games and in that time he's made 9 starts, 3 of which he left early due to health issues.
  18. twins_89
    I don't see this as much of a question at this point. It is beyond obvious which pitcher gives the Twins a better chance to win.
  19. twins_89
    There are a number of reasons to bump Maeda from the rotation for Ober. 1) Maeda is not the same pitcher he was before TJ. 2) Ober has performed really well. I don't think there is much doubt as to who the better pitcher is at the moment. 3) Maeda's contract is heavily based on starts/innings, so continuing to let him start when he doesn't deserve it could have financial consequences.
  20. twins_89
    So far this year it seems like there's been a bunch of balls hit to shortstop that off the bat I thought would be a close play only to see Correa/Farmer not even get within 3 ft of the ball.
  21. twins_89
    The Twins secondary offseason moves are looking pretty good at the moment. Vasquez, Taylor, Farmer, and Solano have been really valuable to start the year and will be great depth if the team ever gets healthy.
  22. twins_89
    That was some impressive control for Ryan over the first 2 innings. He's thrown 74% of his pitches for strikes with most of them located on the edges.
  23. twins_89
    Nice win. Everyone but Correa came through in the 10th.
  24. twins_89
    I'm not pretending anything. It's a pretty clear fact that his stats through 100 games were not all that good.
  25. twins_89
    In the last 3 games Maeda, Lopez, and Gray have combined to pitch 19 innings giving up 3 ER with 30 SO. It would be nice to get a win after losing the last two games where we got great performances from our starting pitchers.
