    Let's see who else lands on the DFA list. While I agree to bring up a minor leaguer, I would NOT get rid of Bell who has been one of our better hitters so far. Of the 3, I'd take Soler but he has to be healthy. Then who does he replace? As for the other 2, Seattle is a graveyard for RH but both are way down in the pecking order. I can see the Yanks taking a flyer on Garver.

    I don't expect much this year and we may be in great shape with starters next year. I've never thought much of Kremer and Anderson seemed like he was going to do well. I'd have kept Matthews up here to keep him getting experience vs major league hitters. I have hope that he can become a good SP. BTW- Kremer is wayyyyy better than Shoemaker ever was. Happ? maybe not overall or even.

    B- They improved the bullpen a bit but it was getting better. They got another starter but who is not currently doing well. But they failed to get a right handed hitter who can hurt lefties. I also think both the White Sox and Indians did better and that's who we have to catch. I give them a 14% chance for the division and a 19% chance for a wild card. But we can only hope.

    They are only in it because the division is very weak. Let's hope they can stay in it though I have my doubts. I think both Cleveland and Chicago improved more than we did but we'll see.

    Hoffman can be the closer we have needed but the Twins failed to bring in a good, right-handed bat. All in all I give the Twins a B- for this trade deadline. Pitching does win in the long run but we started to do better with our bullpen and now have turned it topsy turvy. So we now have 2 pitchers for each of the 6th, 7th 8th and 9th innings but only a questionable additional starter and no new right handed bat. Can we catch either or both Chicago and Cleveland? Based on all team's additions, I have my doubts. And now they drop Anderson who was effective but will have to wait for next year. I'm still looking forward to 2027.

    I see Matthews doing about the same. I'm not sold on Abel. Prelipp has done ok so far but may belong in the pen. There may not be any season next year if there is no salary cap.

    I'm glad I made the top ten. should I try for #1? Hey, I'm glad he made me look bad but I don't think he's the answer to our prayers. But that was a fantastic AB and he is having a good season.

    Glad to see the Twins are making me look bad after I said the season is over for them prior to the 9th inning Thursday. They are a fighting bunch. I still look forward to next year when we all get healthy. However, they are keeping this year interesting.
  16. twinfan
    Kremer needs to get healthy before we can say it was a good deal. He can win 10-12 games next year if healthy. The player we gave up doesn't have enough of a history to evaluate him. He's simply young at this point. We'll see if he's still playing in 2-3 years.

    One seems like a potential power threat as an occasional DH while the other could develop into a decent hitter. But those are the Mets who seem to screw everything up. I don't see Minter moving the needle but it was a good trade for us.
  18. twinfan
    You can easily look at this as getting an experienced reliever for a pair of non-prospects. However I don't see this moving the needle much. Rogers is just as good and has been pitching better of late. It can't hurt and we'll probably lose him after the season but I'd like the team to do more- especially on offense with a rh bat which is what we need most. I'd also like to see us bring up a minor leaguer or 2 who can hit lefties.

    Why call back Grey when we have 2-4 others who are much better but haven't had the chance. We need offense and some who can drive in runs. Grey is not the one to do it. Bad management!

    Repeated by me. I think this week has told us we just don't have a very good team. There are some like Clemens having an ok year but they can't be counted on going forward. Clemens would be good utility but NOT a cleanup hitter. Time to make some deals and shoot for next year and beyond. Let's not kid ourselves any longer. Keep the starters we have and let's get some good players. Let's also bring up the top kids to see what they can do. Yuck! Quote
