    I will be the first to say that I am very surprised the Twins made this move. Not because Culpepper hasn't earned it or deserved it, but because this organization has been running in the mud for so long that I did not expect any changes of consequence until after the upcoming lockout. Not moving Ryan/Jeffers and actually spending at the deadline, calling up Culpepper, rumors of Jenkins next week... Call me very cautiously optimistic that the Twins are turning the corner and being more aggressive on the future.

    So If I had said December/January, would you attack that comment too? The point my comment was that ownership did not spend any money on the BP in the offseason, and you know that. For the record, here is a list of bullpen pitchers that signed after Mar 1 that would have been an improvement on what that Twins had at the start of the season: Danny Coulombe Jalen Beeks Ryan Borucki Tim Mayza Zack Littell Patrick Corbin Lucas Giolito

    Where was the willingness to spend earlier in the year? If they had spent any money on the BP in March and April, this team would be in first place. Everyone knew the BP was horrible, they did nothing of consequence to improve it. This isn't willingness to spend, this is having to spend because the optics made it necessary.

    Solar is the only one worthy of discussion, but with the way the roster is constructed, he isn't a good fit. Pass on all three

    No to the Jackson move... I think the Twins see him as the backup next year. I can't see him passing through waivers with the way he has played this year. While there is no guarantee that players will accrue service time during the lockout, I can't see the Twins risking that on those two at this point. When Jenkins is called up, he needs to play every day. I don't think the Twins will do that for him right now.

    Hindsight is 20/20.

    You misinterpreted my meaning. I was talking about the article, not the player. Player has a good week, we talk about salvation. Player has a bad week, we talk about pumpkins. Kind of silly...

    Can we stop riding this rollercoaster please? Prospect has a strong week: "All doubts erased, prospect is awesome! the future is saved!" Prospect has a rough week: "Prospect is turning into a pumpkin! Woe is the future! Who will fill his role now that he sucks?"

    IMO - a lot would depend on how much salary Seattle is wiling to eat. Paying $24M for a veteran, good clubhouse guy, 4/5 starter is not an option. Get that number under $10M, without giving up any prospect capitol, is worth a discussion.

    What a weird sight... A negative article and the comment section being overwhelmingly positive.
  24. Twins GFP
    This falls in line with my thinking as well. There is a team out there that sees Wallner's success in AAA and thinks that he could help their big club. Any trade will see salary going out, with prospects, not salary, coming in. If any salary does come in, it will be very small.

    Contrary to what the article says, trading away two of your best hitters for prospects does constitute waving a white flag on the season. That being said, if the Twins believe there is a zero chance of a Jeffers re-sign/extension, and the Caratini/Jackson pairing looking solid, I can understand why they would trade him. The Larnach situation is a little different. With another year of arbitration control, and the Twins not willing to call up a high-end prospect with the strike looming, I don't know if the return would be so high that trading him right now makes sense. Yes, they would be selling high on him, but it sends a bad message to the clubhouse if they trade him for prospects while in the playoff hunt.

    Read the whole quote. I never said there wasn't room from improvement, I said the lineup was not the top priority. SP is up and down, the bullpen has been shambles all year. The focus should be there first.

    Please tell me how Zoll can make any moves of quality when the ownership refuses to invest in payroll? His comments are part of the problem. Saying that they need to invest in the team and not actually allowing any increased payroll to acquire good players pretty much says it all. We have no clue about the level of quality of Zoll as a GM, it will probably take a few years to get a better handle on him.
