  1. Adam wainwright has missed over 2 seasons, jamie garcia, several relievers ad there was 1 other starter off the top of my head.
  2. GIbson came back up cause Hughes went on DL and there was no one else
  3. Finding 3 more effective but nit shut down relievers would be the Terry Ryan rotation approach. His goal was 5 starters to pitch 180 to 200 innings a year and have a good bullpen to get a better than average pitching staff
  4. And Kintzler is fine as closer. 14 out of 16 is around the major league average. The problem with the pen is not enough effectuve arms. Only 4 arms you can reasonably rely on but none shut down. We need an ace bullpen guy. How can we expect to win any games at all without an ace in the pen.. (being sarcastic sorry) but having a shut down reliever would help. Also perkins is getting closer what is he a month out? I wouldnt expect him to be shut down but he can help.
  5. Hughes needs to stay in the rotation cause we need help there too. Its cheaper to aquire relievers vs starters.
  6. Im ok with a "Hu" for Neshek type of move. He is available and wouldnt cost too much. I am also for bringing up from the minors though leave Romero in a rotation. He just missed 2 years with injury. Better to not mess with him like that. Broxton and Dyson have been DFA so we can try them too. Broxton is having a Pressley like season. Ks check 96 fastball check results 7 era.
  7. The good news is we have options. We could probably get Neshek in trade too. I just hope the front office takes some positive action soon and stops dickering around with retreads. If were contenders then Haley, Wilk need to go and we need bbetter results from Pressley too. Id have to check but i think most of Belisle crap is from a few really bad outings. He may need to go soon too. We can easily remake the pen and results matter.
  8. I'll be honest. I loved both of Hughes contracts at the time they were signed. If Hughes pitches 180 to 190 innings of 4.00 to 4.5 era he is worth the 13 million he is being paid. Which is why i liked the second extention. There was room for him to regress and provide value on his contract.
  9. Maybe the Twins trade for Darvish and make a run this year
  10. While i agree that high contact rates leads to a potential blown save, i do believe he will be consistant enough to do the job for now or atleast bridge till we get burdi or chargois going up here. I'm more co cerned about Gibson since i had expextations he could be a 3rd or 4th starter.
  11. I think Taylor Rogers is the biggest beneficiary of their improved D so far based on videos above. Samtana is 2nd
  12. If Ervin has the 2.23 era at the deadline, we are probably in the race and not trading him. Why trade him if we can make the playoffs with him?
  13. The article should be titled "Walk This Way"
  14. Mvp Buxton Pitcher Santana RoY Palka or Haley Reliever Pressly
  15. Im gonna go with 550 ab .290/.350/.520 20 2Bs 10 3Bs 25 HR and 40 Sbs.
  16. Not having Park up is a huge disappointment. I felt he earned his way back up. More than others. Well i guess the Twins have to wait for promotions so they have tje best team on the field before they earn my dollars. If Hughes needs more time. Like a few starts in extended spring training to work on results...should be on the DL and Park should be up. That too us a short term solution and a better one.

  18. Ha Delmon Young has the most RBI of any Twin this millenium.
  19. TR did get Pressly in the rule 5 and seveloped Tonkin and finally Wimmers who starts in AAA. The new regeme did get Haley in rule 5 so they are getting talent just not great talent at this point. That is on the way so im not too disappointed cause these guys can suffice till the guns start making their way up. Would have liked to see Chargois up but he did give up lots of hits. Was he working on some pitches or make mistakes....
  20. .750 to .780 is a slight decline from whaat he put up before getting injured last year. The real question is how much will he play this year and how much of that will be at DH since Park or Vargas can both play 1B.
  21. Mauer will still get enouhh at bats to qualify for the batting title. But they will sit him more against lefties and he will swap with park at DH 30 to 40 games. I see mauer playing in 140 games with 25 to 30 as DH. So 520AB and approx .280 ave/ .350 obp/ .420 slg. Im rooting for 35 2bs and 10 -15Hrs (a little optimistic on power i know).
