  1. Honestly, this forgone conclusion that the Twins should trade Joe is kind of silly. The AL is SO bad this year that 5 games under .500 and your still in it for a wild card. Now throw in the central being even worse than expected. At this point of the season with WHAT 50% of the BP waiver wire pick-ups and 3 of tonight's starting 9 from the same place. Just ride it out. A little buy and a little sell. Fill in with AAA guys and ride it out. Save that big trade for the winter meetings.
  2. I might be a good fit for this role as well! I'm too old. too slow and too fat...But I do watch movies and they say I can do it. I'll pick up my jersey tomorrow afternoon after this hang over wears off and I get the lawn mowed. Maybe after just the hangover part. We'll see. Text me before you drop it off in case I am napping. Thx go Twins!
  3. I see a lot of DeShawn Keirsey in this argument. Could also be another Mickey Gasper. But after August 3rd if he's still tearing it up bring him up with a long runway to succeed or fail. E Rod and Jenkins will probably be hurt again by then...
  4. For better or worse, this needed to happen. Here's hoping he finds his swing and confidence and is back sooner than later.
  5. I'm not a big fan of trading for pop up players which is really what Rojas was when they traded for him. Trading a reliever that we don't have the BP to get the ball to is the worst trade in Twins history? Carlos Santana says WHAT? He has a total of 5.2 innings in MLB and a .2 WAR A 2.438 WHIP...So the concerns are legit. Let's hold off till he has 40 innings to get too high or low on him.
  6. Nice bounce back for Gallagher and Hill. The move up in the minors can be tough on pitchers and position players.
  7. We have been spoiled with very few starting pitching injuries for quite a while now. This really just feels like a return to mean. Look at the Dodgers the last few seasons. Astros this season? But to the point of the article. Defiantly higher than usual for the Twins. Thankfully only 1 full season lost. Although a BIG one. The rest at this point are hopefully a few weeks to heal and return. Except maybe Festa. Like Duran...He might need to head to the DP to dominate and stay healthy. Prielipp has looked pretty good so far, and Rojas is going to walk to many, but might be legit and Morris is starting to settle in. SWR is bound to have tough stretches. He doesn't really have any + pitches. So going to have a few clunkers and a few nice games. Hopefully more of the latter
  8. Wait HE'S STILL om the team? Don't we have enough LH no D corner OF's? I see lately we've moved on to Wallner. But still they set the FLOOR. E Rod and Jenkins can't stay healthy long enough to be a threat. At least we don't have a SS. Wait did I do it again.... Baseball isn't heroin. Sometimes you have to wait for the results you're after. That being said...The results may not last much longer... It's a game, right??
  9. My favorite part has to be "The Twins probably have to pay for their own sunflower seeds." Thanks for the laugh, Stu
  10. This is one of those if they had or had not senecios. Would they have won as many games those seasons? Would they have been better off putting the payroll elsewhere? What about who was drafted during that time? 30 mil a season isn't just about want that player does
  11. Grats to Morris! Hopefully your 1st and only call up. Hoping for Laweryson's strain turns out to be a mild issue or a nothing issue. As for Kreidler... I'd like to see him starting at SS with Lee at 3rd. No one's been hitting (in those spots) much before so improved defense and not hitting seem like a marginal improvement....
