    Yeah, he seems to have become the invisible man lately. But certainly he should still be considered a prospect worth watching.
  2. Doctor Wu
    Ha! That term puzzled me too!
  3. Doctor Wu
    I love these type of comeback stories. Good article, Sherry! I didn't know much about the player, but obviously we all hope that Ramirez will be effective for the Twins in the bullpen this month and next.
  4. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, first base will remain up for grabs. Another free agent signing?
  5. Doctor Wu
    I like this idea too. I mean, at this point in a lost season why not experiment a bit and try a few new ways to see how these pitchers can perform? Maybe one of these so-so starters becomes a new bullpen weapon like other "failed" starters such as Jax and Duran. Let's be creative!
  6. Doctor Wu
    Can we still bring back Punto?
  7. Doctor Wu
    Exactly, Let him play. Sink or swim. Of course there the remains the dilemma, of where to play him? Or does he become the new versatile version of Castro?

    It's still not clear to me that there was/is a strategy from the front office, other than dumping a lot of salary and trading some expiring contracts. But as Cody says in the article, the biggest surprise was trading away younger players that still had some team control. I know I'm in the minority, but I don't hate most of these trades, except for the very unexpected and unwarranted Varland trade. That one annoys me the most. But unlike many others, I'm not sold on the idea that we are in the midst of a rebuild. Except for a decimated bullpen, we still have the makings of a good team. The core of the team remains relatively intact and our starter rotation now actually looks stronger. We've kept key guys like Buxton and Lewis, and maybe even Lee will finally fulfill his promise. So, I'm not ready to jump ship yet. Bring up some of the young prospects for the rest of this season and let them play. See what you've got. We're not on the verge of making the playoffs, so let's be creative and test some of our young position players and pitchers. The bullpen certainly is now a very weak area, but even on that count I'm not alarmed. I think that's easier to fix than trying to find three new arms for the starting rotation.

    Sad but true. The Twins seem to be a breeding ground for DH types.
  10. Doctor Wu
    I'm still annoyed about that trade. For a reliever of Duran's quality, still under team control for 2 years, why didn't we get greater value?
  11. Doctor Wu
    Ready for the callup of all callups. Please!
  12. Doctor Wu
    If it was the best, we should have gotten a much better return on these trades.
  13. Doctor Wu
    Good point. I wonder if we DO have the coaches that are necessary to challenge and get the best out of our younger prospects. Seth might have better insight on the pros and cons of the coaching staff. But it seems like it could/should be a lot better.
  14. Doctor Wu
    Blame it all on that crazy old fortune teller they visited.
  15. Doctor Wu
    This thread could blow up in the next 24 hours!
  16. Doctor Wu
    That's my main question too? Who's on first, etc. ? And who can possibly be in the bullpen at this point?!
  17. Doctor Wu
    When do we see who is on the team for Friday's game? And the new 40 man roster?
  18. Doctor Wu
    That pretty much says it. A few of these new players may stick, and I really like Taj Bradley, but overall we didn't get nearly enough in return, especially in that Duran trade.
  19. Doctor Wu
    Yep, the tear down is not yet complete...or at least it shouldn't be finished. Keep the rest of the players, but let's get new brains upstairs.
  20. Doctor Wu
    Excellent summation!
  21. Doctor Wu
    Hey, that was my first reaction too after I read that Jax was traded. But then ... WTH?! I'm still stumped by the Varland trade most of all. Not sure if the Twins truly have a direction now at all.
  22. Doctor Wu
    Well, not many of these minor league players we received are truly exciting, except for some of the younger catchers. But reading assessments like this: He's moderately promising. ... make me think that the Twins will continue to excel in mediocrity.
  23. Doctor Wu
    I think gives them a golden opportunity to push some if not all of those players. Time for some promotions and trial by fire.
  24. Doctor Wu
    not a surprise at all for those two.
  25. Doctor Wu
    Trading Varland was the biggest surprise of all the moves they bad. And you are right; what possible reason did the Twins have for trading him? A totally puzzling move.
