  1. The lesson to be learned is that shiny new prospects don't need to get injured right as they are starting to make a mark. Abel, I'm talking to you. And Festa and while he isn't a prospect Banda went and got hurt right after I joined the Bandawagon. Next lesson. Trading a reliever that throws 99 after trading all your other good relievers. WTF! Last lesson. While it will take a minute to fully be realized, It looks like the Twins are going to win the Duran trade by a lot and Duran is good.. that's the kinda trade we gotta make. And I hope we learn that Gallagher has a lot of value as a middle reliever soon. That would be a fun lesson to learn.
  2. SP Clay Holmes with the Meta is also available so we should check his availability.
  3. I don't get not going for it this year. We bring up Jenkins to play RF and our offense which already leads the league in runs scored is better. Our SP.is average. Our bullpen is improving. A good reliever and a number one or two level starter should put.us in contention to win in the playoffs.
  4. Gomez and Morris were penned to be at the top end of the bullpen this year. They definitely were not a surprise at all. No expectation beating here. Double for Kreidler.
  5. And if we can trade for at least one good reliever, we have an average pen.
  6. I doubt Lewis sits much so Cartini can play. Also while in contention they won't trade Larnarch. Roden will go back down when Buxton is off the DL and Martin will be the backup. He is not hitting well enough to start.
  7. An even bigger anomaly is how Gomez strikes out 5 of the 9 batters he faced in 4 innings of work that week.
  8. I moved from against trading Jeffers to open to trading Jeffers. If he hits with a .900 OPS then keep him. Or if we get a good trade return of a receiver and prospect. Then maybe. ... I do want to point out other teams have closed up the gap with good play as well. Detroit is 3-3.5 games out of a wild card and Boston is on an 8 game winning streak. One thing I like about this team is it feels like we are close enough to being that competitive team capable of winning in the playoffs. Let's be aggressive at the trade deadline and see what happens.
  9. Banda has turned his season around before getting hurt. He could return for similar money since he was hurt after the season started He was really good after getting hit hard in April and first few in May.
  10. If it's free then it's me! Can't really complain about free when we have the roster space and he will be in AAA while our almost free options get a try.
  11. The bullpen needs to raise the floor. Getting rid of players who implode like Adams is going to help. We still should try to get a really good reliever. Maybe one more after that, I don't know maybe Dan Schatzeder.... I mean Rogers will make it the rest of the way. I like this move as at least the Twins are making an effort. It's hard to acquire a reliever this time of the season as teams are still evaluating.
  12. The pitching available this deadline is going to be deep. Skuball and Gray and Chapman and the two Angels pitchers, KC could make some trades. There should be plenty of starting pitchers to choose from. But we really need bullpen. Skuball with Ryan and Taj make for a great playoff rotation and we just need to pick up a few arms... Let's go we have the top ranked offense.
  13. The Twins are 2 games out of leading the division and half game out of the Wild card and this is while playing a hard stretch of the schedule and they are 6-2 against the Astros, Yankees and Indians. We need relievers. I see Raya is now going on the DL. We have CJ Culpepper left in AAA plus the new guy we just got from Detroit. Who else is potentially available in AA or AAA to help the pitching? We did just resign Bowman to a minor league deal. Anyone else available?
  14. I had pitching, pitching and more pitching. Offense is good. Upgrade in RF maybe or SS/ IF but there are options ready in AAA.
