    Good question about the possiblity of Thorpe starting to get tired as the long season --- well, long for him due to his long period of inactivity --- nears an end. Might it be time for the team to shut him down, or does it really matter?
  2. Doctor Wu
    From what I read today, that's what the Brewers are planning to do. Too bad. I had thought Milwaukee was the most likely landing place for Dozier. Now, I'm wondering if we'll end up having to unload him on a waiver deal next month, if at all.

    Akil Baddoo led the offense. He went 3-for-3 with two walks and stole his 20th base. Stolen bases! What a wacky concept! Personally, I find it refreshing, not to mention exciting, that minor league players like Baddoo are still allowed to steal bases during these strangely changing baseball times. Good for him.

    Normally, I don't pay much attention to --- or at least give much importance to it --- a pitcher's won-loss record, but I was shocked to notice that this was only win number 5 for Kyle Gibson this year. As good as he's pitched, that's pretty darn surprising.

    I'm having more fun following the Twins' minor league players than the ones on the big league club this summer. It's gonna be sad when their respective seasons end in the coming weeks.

    I understand the temptation to sell when a player like Gibson is pitching well and still has that extra year of team control. But as others have pointed out, quality starting pitchers are not so easy to find, and Gibson seems to have turned into that rare beast int past year. I say: keep him!

    This one took me by surprise. But from what I've been reading, we got two good prospects in the deal, so I'm content. And as much as I like Esccobar, the fact that we were able to get three prospects for his last two months is beyond acceptable. Still hoping we can unload Dozier and Rodney, with maybe Lynn packing his bags too, but this is a start. That said, Pressly was a player I would have preferred to have kept. And hey, maybe we can still go out and grab Escobar again next year.

    I agree, No point in releasing Morrison. Sure, he's been a major disappointment this year. but I keep hoping he'll get hot before the month is over (hmm... not much time left) or in early August, and then maybe maybe maybe some team will give up a low level prospect for him. Gotta keep hoping for a miracle.

    I hope the Twins don't reconsider trading Dozier (if indeed that is their plan) just because Gordon is struggling. But darn, his lack of progress at AAA is definitely a huge disappointment.
  10. Doctor Wu
    Those of us who blinked probably DID miss him during his very brief tenure with the team.
  11. Doctor Wu
    My somewhat blurry crystal ball says: Dozier and Lynn are traded this month. Duke is a possible one too. And then in August we unload Santana and Rodney on waiver claims. As to which teams want these guys, all I know is what I've been reading, but who knows?

    The bats are starting to come around, every so slightly. Seeing signs of life with Mauer again, and even Kepler and Grossman are looking better.

    At least there is something to be excited about in the Twins' minor league system lately. As much as we'd all love to see Kiriloff and Lewis make their MLB debuts ASAP, I think it's wise to be patient for another year or two. Meanwhile, sign me up for a seat on the Thorpe bandwagon. Great to see him pitching so consistently well lately.
  14. Doctor Wu
    That would be more than acceptable!
  15. Doctor Wu
    Or maybe pollo loco?
  16. Doctor Wu
    The Brewers now need another starting pitcher after Suter just got injured and will need TJ surgery. I'd like to keep Gibson, but would gladly offer them Lynn or Santana for some low level prospect. Or package the pitcher with Dozier and aim higher?
  17. Doctor Wu
    The good news on Buxton is that he is suffering from a left wrist strain and not something more serious. I'm not sure if that's good news or not. Every year, over and over again, we are seeing these nagging injuries with Buxton. Granted, some are minor, but some that require extended DL stints. Is it just bad luck or is the guy simply injury prone?
  18. Doctor Wu
    Reading that caption you put above one of the video links: Brusdar Graterol coming at you at 100 mph. Man, how exciting is that! A Twins pitcher with velocity? What a concept! Some exciting prospects on that list.
  19. Doctor Wu
    Trevor May pitched an inning of relief sending down all three batters he faced. Okay, I'll be annoying and ask: what does "sending down" mean? Did he strike out all three batters?
  20. Doctor Wu
    When I saw that Snell was starting for Tampa Bay, my first thought was: oh no, another Twins loss coming up. What a pleasant surprise to be proven wrong. Great game by Gibson! Just the idea of calling Kyle Gibson an All-Star was preposterous a year ago, but now he's certainly pitching like one.
  21. Doctor Wu
    So many choices of players who could and should break out in the second half. I'll roll the dice and pick Buxton as my (very hopeful) choice to click.
  22. Doctor Wu
    Any chance that Vargas gets another shot on the major league team this year?
  23. Doctor Wu
    Another great catch by Cave. Good to see him getting some love from the fans. And how about that "laser throw" by Rosario to nail a runner trying to score? Good stuff! At least we seem to be able to catch and throw the ball well lately.
  24. Doctor Wu
    I'm hoping that Dozier catches fire this month and some team will take a gamble on him having another torrid second half, along with the "veteran leadership" factor. But which contending team might be needing a second baseman down the stretch? Someone mentioned the Mariners, who are without Cano for the time being (and who would be ineligible for the playoffs even after he comes back), but I can't think of any other team off the top of my head.
  25. Doctor Wu
    I would think that Lance Lynn might end up being our most valuable trade chip. It seems to me that a contending club in need of another solid starting pitcher (albeit, one that can't seem to pitch more than 5 or 6 innings at a time) would grab him.
