  1. Why not Andrew Stevenson, hitting over 300 most RBI's on the Saints and 16 Home runs??
  2. Trade him now, while he is a commodity! He is the new Buxton, tons of potential and miniscule playing time.
  3. You are wrong. Varland did his job Pagan didn't. How can you even compare or defend Pagan?? He got zero outs, Varland had a number of great innings and a screwed up double play. I never understand every time Pagan fails someone defends him and the I say just wait and see he will fail miserably again after a couple of average outings, BOOM their he goes again. Rocco can't even use him when he should be, how is that valuable to a team that has great starting pitching and needs a bullpen to close out games. He is useless if all he is there for is mop up duty.
  4. PaGone!!!
  5. You make it sound like both things can't be true. Absolutely need to score runs and get hits with runners on base but our bull pen definitely is part of the problem and Pagan is the biggest problem in the bullpen by far!!
  6. He has a 5.67 ERA 20 hits in 17 innings , he has been in high leverage situations and failed, not just this year but last year to. You have to look at the totality of his time in Minnesota, that is Rocco's fault because he uses him in those situations. You are telling me that there is no one else in the organization that we can not replace him with? Even if they bring someone else up with similar results it is a young pitcher getting innings for the future. There was no reason to keep Pagan there are numerous options instead of him. Show me when he has ever been consistent. Hope you remember your defense of him the next time he implodes. PS. he walked his first 2 batters before giving up a grand slam.
  7. This was easily the most avoidable issue on the roster EVERYONE screamed no when th FO resigned him. This was 100% predictable. Maybe even worse was Our "managers" insistance in using him in high leverage situations. Can we DFA Rocco. He is the worst late game manager I have ever seen. Many late inning and extra inning losses can be attributed to him.SMH
  8. Just a great performance all around, quite a few heroes. However literally the most exciting thing of the game was seeing Buxton run. When Byron is allowed to be a difference maker on the bases it is an entirely different team. Just imagine if/when he gets the green light to play center!!
  9. Couldn't disagree more. His approach to hitting is painful to watch this year, I truly believe that not playing in the field at least some of the time is affecting his hitting. He looks lost at times and anyone who has played baseball will tell you that getting in to the flow of the game by being in the field helps you at the plate. Sure there are guys that are professional DH's but they are usually incredibly good hitters who have played the game a long time (Cruz). If they ever let him play in the field again you will see his focus and stats rise at the plate. No reason for him not to be playing some in the outfield now.
  10. I will take Fulmer 100 times over Pagan! Anyone watching the Twins after tge 6th inning last year knows Fulmer was at least reliable , Pagan didn’t get a big out all season last year. Pagan must have incriminating pictures of Falvey.
  11. Last I looked (10 minutes ago) we have a massive hole at shortstop, might want to fill that void before worrying about adding an average starter to the rotation at a unnecessarily high salary.
  12. Point is no matter what Stu's satire is. It is a stupid rule made by the Canadians that is no longer relevant. For those that argue it is I don't see the rule applicable in the States... because it is a stupid rule.
  13. I don't understand our managers infatuation with picking unstable relievers to close. How many games has our manager lost or almost lost by his insane love of certain relievers during high leverage situations. (see last 3 years) Plus what the hell was his thought process on leaving Bundy in to get shelled, then Bundy goes on DL, maybe should of figured out he was hurt before he was allowed to give up a ton of runs.
  14. How about the Twins suck it up and find a shortstop! This would be such a Twins like move to have Palonco go back to short because they are too cheap to find an actual solution. This is just a disaster waiting to happen if you move him back, Twins need to act like a real MLB team and trade for a real shortstop or get Story.
  15. love this lineup! maybe someone other than Stroman. feel like he is due for regression and not sure he is a clubhouse fit. maybe a Marlans or another Oakland pitcher. really like the bullpen especially with Knebel, Hand and Rogers for. late innings. i really believe they. need Miranda up early and feel like I would rather have Arraez in the outfield and not bother with Piscotti.
  16. This could be the greatest trade in Major League history! The fact that the Cardinals actually gave us 2 players and didn’t demand we throw in Buxton to take Happ off our hands makes it better than the Babe Ruth trade from Boston to the Yankees for cash.
  17. Not that tough, Twins need at least 2 reliable relievers. It won't break the "bank" of young players. The Twins are a relief core away from contending seriously. We have a fairly young core of players and there are a couple of young relievers that we could control available (e.g. Greene, Detroit). 3/4 of our minor league will never see the Big's with the Twins. I have been a fan since 1964 this is one of the rare years we could seriously contend. Just go get some relievers!! I am not uninformed!
  18. Littell and Arraez more than likely. Leaves 7 relievers who have not been taxed at all lately Arraez needs to play and he won't much if he stayed up.
  19. The thing I think stands out the most is his lineup changes daily. This normally would drive me crazy but the Twins have so many weapons this year that it could be huge advantage as the year wears on. Injuries won't hurt as much because we have guys with lots of at bats to fill in and have played multiple positions which is rare. Also guys getting rested never hurts if you have a shot to make it to the playoffs. Now the key in doing this is we are scoring at a record pace, how long that keeps up will be the question. Everything looks good when you score 16 runs, at some point we will have a losing streak but hard to argue with the success he has had with his strategy. My question though is who gets the credit for the barrel hitting? Why or how have the Twins figured out this momentous contact? t Baldelli? Hitting Coach? Cruz? Or just contagious hitting?
