    ... call on George Springer for a little more of the clutch magic he has worked in his legendary MLB career. Springer is a good player, but to call his career "legendary" is laying it on a bit too thick! By that standard, Michael A. Taylor is legendary. A good player, and happy to have him, but not yet a legend.

    And then there is the forgotten man: Randy Dobnak. I noticed that he starts the game tomorrow for the Saints. Wishing him good luck and hope that he can make it back to the Twins in some capacity this year or next. Do people still see him as a starter?

    Twins only mustered 3 hits, and against a bunch of no-name relief pitchers! The Rays weren't even using one of their good starting pitchers. I guess they'll save those for the better teams. Not an encouraging week for the Twins.
  4. Doctor Wu
    Thanks for that link. The way the current lineup is looking, we might be needing Brooks Lee MUCH sooner than expected.
  5. Doctor Wu
    The Rays are sure doing something right. Every year they end up with a bunch of no-names in their bullpen and continue to win games. And they also seem to find an outlier like Raley to stick in the lineup and produce well too.
  6. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, in retrospect it would be nice to have Arraez still in the lineup, but then again, he'd be just another runner left on base.
  7. Doctor Wu
    I was just going to ask about his status. Thanks for that update!
  8. Doctor Wu
    And very quickly, he hit his third home for the Padres. Maybe too late for the All-Star game, but good results for Gary so far.
  9. Doctor Wu
    Chapman has been good this year for the Royals, but by no means would I give up a "high-end prospect" for him. Right now, I'd be looking for a better bat to add to the outfield.
  10. Doctor Wu
    I didn't realize that Chourio was part of the package we received for Arreaz. I knew about Lopez and Salas, but didn't know that there was a third piece in the return. Not that it lessens the sting at this point, but still good to have another prospect on board.
  11. Doctor Wu
    Good overview on the possible choices. Thanks! Whoever they choose, please let it be a pitcher! I'm weary of all these shortstops. Sure, I understand the philosophy of picking great athletes, but I want an arm. Skenes would be wonderful if he falls to number 5, but I'd take any of the choices you gave.
  12. Doctor Wu
    I thought the same thing. What a flashback!
  13. Doctor Wu
    An encouraging outing by Balazovic. Only 3 1/3 innings pitched but 7 strikeouts! Looking much better this year.
  14. Doctor Wu
    Ugly and it could get worse. I can't imagine this current Twins lineup being remotely competitive against a very strong and balanced Tampa Bay team. I expect the Rays will sweep easily. But hey guys, surprise me!
  15. Doctor Wu
    Our old pal Eddie Rosario keeps getting some clutch hits for the Braves, including a grand slam yesterday. Despite his faults, he's still a fun player to watch.
  16. Doctor Wu
    The recent double-Lopez meltdowns are very concerning. A temporary blip in either case, or real cause for alarm?
  17. Doctor Wu
    Sure, there are a lot of shoulda coulda woulda sorts of factors involved in roster decisions, but it seems like the Twins certainly do miss something in the development of players, especially pitchers. Some posts have already mentioned Nick Anderson, Ryan Presley, Tyler Wells and Cano, and I would add Liam Hendricks. Even more fringe arms like Ian Gibaut and Michael Tonkin have resurrected their career after leaving Minnesota. Are the Twins just like any other team, or do we really miss more than we catch?
  18. Doctor Wu
    Yes indeed, we need to keep Solano and Castro in the lineup; both are both hitting very well lately, and you can't say that for many of the other regulars outside of Kiriloff and Jeffers. Plus, Castro is stealing some bases! But sure, I think Wallner deserves a promotion ASAP, and Larnach is due for a recall soon too. If you find positions for them, or perhaps at DH, then we might need Julian and Miranda back at some point, but I'd rather both of those guys work on their defense and/or pitch selection in AAA at this juncture.
  19. Doctor Wu
    I think Sonny HAD the better overall ERA for the season (at least until yesterday's start), but if you are just talking about one month, it actually went up in May. Meanwhile Jon Gray certainly has been lights out for Texas recently.
  20. Doctor Wu
    I agree with you on the choices of Arraez, Cano, and yeah, maybe even Steer. He was looking solid, but those numbers keep going up. Of course the reverse has happened to Rooker. Not sure if he'll even be batting .250 by the start of the week. Then again, who else do you pick from Oakland this year?
  21. Doctor Wu
    This was probably addressed in another thread, but why wasn't Wallner called up this week? With Gallo going on the IL it seems like that would have been a logical move. Sure, Garlick has his role to play, but I'd rather see Wallner in the lineup, especially with the ways he's hitting lately.
  22. Doctor Wu
    This one could hurt for a long long time: From yesterday: Encarnacion-Strand finished the game 3-for-4 with a walk, raising his batting average for the Bats to .352 and his OPS to 1.132. And, yeah, there was that grand slam too.
  23. Doctor Wu
    I always thought Enlow would be an eventual MLB arm, or at least my hopes were high. Very encouraged by his performance thus far this year. As others have said, I wouldn't be shocked to see him called up to the majors by next year if not this season. If he keep pitching well with confidence I think he'll stick.
  24. Doctor Wu
    June is here and no sign of Miguel Sano anywhere. Any updates on what he is doing or where he is doing it?
  25. Doctor Wu
    I've also noticed those guys playing well, particularly Kiersey, Jr. Seems like there's not much room for him at AAA right now, but you never know when someone will get injured. But yeah, right now, he's playing very well for Wichita.
