    If we need some extra bats, maybe we can talk Trevor Plouffe out of retirement. Hell, I'd even welcome back an overweight Miguel Sano at this point.

    From what Rocco said, it sounds like we are likely NOT going to see Buxton play in the outfield this year. But if he's in that bad of shape, why would you even want him running the bases? Oh yeah, I forgot: he's either striking out or hitting home runs, so running the bases isn't a factor. Okay, he DID have the single today, but still, if he's that fragile just put him on the IL and get him healthy again.

    Yeah, that's good for Cleveland, but then again Tampa Bay had problems beating the A's last week, so who knows?

    Man, another big day for Eddie Rosario in Atlanta. He went 3 for 6 with 2 homers and 6 RBI. I'm still not regretting we parted ways with him, but then again, having a productive bat, even one as erratic as Eddie's, in the Twins' lineup sure would be nice.
  5. Doctor Wu
    Maybe not much room in AAA, but Kiersey certainly deserves a promotion. Give him a shot and see if he continues to produce like he has been doing.

    The bullpen game the Twins used last week seemed to work very well. Why not try it again? Something/Anything (apologies to Todd Rundgren) needs to be done to get this team going again.
  7. Doctor Wu
    I concur: great article! Good to know more about these young prospects. I hope he can succeed at higher levels too. The knuckleball is ready for a comeback!
  8. Doctor Wu
    or perhaps a real challenge if you are the catcher!
  9. Doctor Wu
    I don't know the reason (s) for Buxton's recent drought at the plate either, but as you suggested he needs to either go on the IL or snap out of this slump ASAP. What he is offering to the team now is detrimental to winning games.

    Especially happy to see Salas come alive after a very slow start this year. Hope to see more hits, homers or otherwise, from him for the rest of this season.

    I certainly don't have any profound wisdom or suggestions to offer at this point. Do we need a new batting coach? A big roster shakeup? I don't think Rocco is the biggest problem. We just can't seem to string any hits together and score runs. Too many strikeouts. A starting staff that looked terrific the first month is now mediocre. Obviously, this teams needs to do something to get back on track, but I don't think making trades is the answer. Call up more of the youngsters and jettison some of the deadwood.

    Yes, consistency sure would be nice, at least consistency of the quality variety. I'm sure many of us were salivating at the prospect of facing the Tigers this weekend ... and now?
  13. Doctor Wu
    I've wondered about this too. What exactly is this mysterious Development List?
  14. Doctor Wu
    I'm not sure I see Kiriloff playing in the outfield at this point. I think, barring another unfortunate injury, he will be our first baseman for many years.
  15. Doctor Wu
    I knew next to nothing about Solano prior to this season, but the guy seems to know how to hit. Which is more than you can say about some of the others in the starting lineup. Of course his fielding and baserunning can cause some headaches, but it sure is nice to see a player getting hits on a regular basis as opposed to striking out.
  16. Doctor Wu
    Buxton is back in the lineup, but at this point you have to wonder how that is even helping.
  17. Doctor Wu
    He didn't get the no-no, but another good start for Berrios. He's turned back into an effective pitcher this season.
  18. Doctor Wu
    Farmer could be a good option. I like how he's played this year for the Twins.
  19. Doctor Wu
    With Polanco's injury history I can't see the Twins getting much of value for him in a trade at this point. I'd love to have him back if he looks healthy as the season progresses, but that's a big IF. And unless the Twins look like they have a good-fielding option at second base (don't think Julien qualifies for that), I'd roll the dice and pick up Polanco's option again. Or do they go out and sign a free agent second baseman, or trade for one? Not an easy decision.

    I've becoming very impressed with Ober, after being somewhat skeptical last year. As you noted, he has done what it takes to stay on the team. The fact that he gave up 2 early home runs, but didn't get rattled and pitched a very effective game, was very impressive. Good mentality for a pitcher to have. Glad to have him!
  21. Doctor Wu
    Very true! I've noticed that a lot of Taylor's homers have been like that. Once again, surprising power for a guy not known for his strength, but I hope it continues.
  22. Doctor Wu
    Over in Baltimore, after escaping from the New York Zoo (although perhaps not by his own choice) Aaron Hicks is starting to hit again. He's batting over .300 this month, and just hit his third homer of the year in the Orioles slugfest yesterday. Not sure how long he will remain in the starting lineup with Mullins injured, but he's making the most of his second chance. Or is it his third chance?
  23. Doctor Wu
    I appreciate the article and the background on these prospects. Thanks! At this point, I hope they draft pitchers, pitchers, and even more pitchers. Find an infielder with a good arm and convert him to a pitcher (shades of Jacob DeGrom?), but just find us some good arms!
  24. Doctor Wu
    Celestino is looking good in his rehab games thus far. I say "rehab" but not sure what the plan is for him this year. Will they leave him at AAA for a few months, or possibly be called up again soon due to the need for extra center field depth with the big club?
  25. Doctor Wu
    I have high hopes for Martin and wish that he is healthy and ready to play every day, preferably in the outfield. My concern is that this prolonged "rest" was just delaying another inevitable surgery. But I sure hope that's not the case.
