    I noticed Twins only have 3 players signed for next year, post arbitration players- Buxton, Lopez, and Caritini. Wondered how Twins compare to league. There are 5 teams with less than 3, Marlins and Cards with zero, Twins are in a group of 4 teams with 3. Dodgers lead with 13, total of 7 teams at 9+. It does not seem very surprising, high payroll teams have more experienced players signed for next year with low payroll teams relying on younger less experienced players.

    Twins should be sellers at deadline. Wishlist includes potential high leverage relief pitcher. Twins should not be trading prospects for established bullpen help, that won't move the needle for playoff chances this year.

    Options for RH batters/LH batters a little out of balance presently. Can bat 9 RH bats against a LH pitcher with another RH bat on bench. Can only bat 6 LH batters against a RH pitcher- 3 of those switch hitters. I would like to see what Fedko can do, so my choice would be to send Martin to AAA and promote a LH bat. I prefer Rhoden at this time, Bell has heated up hitting, not may ABs for Wallner at DH and Wallner's defense has not improved at AAA. Move Clemens back to more of a utility player getting playing time at 1B, 2B, RF, CF against RH pitching. Gray presently safe, waiting for Culpepper to get healthy and some time at AAA to get timing back. I have no problem keeping Jenkins at AAA rest of year.

    I agree with most of what has been said here. Twins have 3 free agents at end of year- Jeffers, Bell, and Rogers. I would try to trade all 3 at trade deadline. Jeffers not resigning with Twins, Bell and Rogers are not part of Twins future plans. If trade Bell and if Wallner gets back on track, Wallner DH. Ryan trade value high, trade if get enough in return, no if not sufficient offers. Ober, not likely to get much for him, and can't have too much pitching- keep if trade Ryan. Larnach, probably not getting much for him, but time to move on so can see what young players have. Get Culpepper up with Twins when healthy, Gray expendable.

    This last injury was very disappointing. Rodriguez definitely would have been called up by now, probably when Wallner went down. Hopefully he can get healthy and can still get some playing time in later in season.

    Besides Culpepper, not really an infielder pushing for callup at AAA.

    Hitting always drops off the year after a wrist fx, look at Rooker, took him a couple of years to get back to hitting like he was before the injury. Confident Luke's hitting will improve 2nd half.

  26. 4twinsJA
    Winokur has really filled out this past year. Agree 3B and OF are most likely, but what about 1B. 6'6" target, power bat, already can field ground balls. I really like his development, may see some time at AA this year.
  27. 4twinsJA
    I don't think anyone is saying Fedko is the next Twins AllStar outfielder, just that he has proven himself in minors and deserves an opportunity at the MLB level. Maybe Fedko doesn't produce, but it is time to see if he can.
  28. 4twinsJA
    I am excited to see how Mendez progresses. He has probably moved up to next call up to cover an injury to outfielder.

    Would like to see some of these position players at AAA get an opportunity with Twins. The top 6 hitters in May are at AAA. Unfortunately only one of the 6 are on 40 man-Mendez, so calling up any of the others would require letting someone else go. Trade Bell soon, has not been a good pickup. Outman is also a candidate for release/trade. Is Wallner done?

    Hope Paredes the best, but agree does not have a very high ceiling. But, can see a role for him with Twins, spot starter/long relief. Would rather see Twins give young players opportunities rather than signing another 35+ year old. I think that makes 5 pitchers to make their MLB debut for Twins this year-Morris, Rojas, Prielipp, Klein. Hope to see more debuts for position players soon.
  33. 4twinsJA
    There are a lot of good arguments on both sides of this issue. I love Ryan, but think best move for Twins is to trade him at deadline this year if get the right pieces back. Twins don't have to move him this year, so hold out and get great value in return for Ryan. If not good enough offers, no trade.

    I like the urgency Shelton displays. Great to see manager nervous in dugout, like the game is important. FO did well not oversigning veterans so able to play young players. I like direction Twins are headed.
  35. 4twinsJA
    Interesting that Fedko hitting .290 and deemed not ready, and Culpepper hitting .250 and people anxious for call up. Fedko can play any of outfield positions and has experience at 1B, has hammered LH pitching this year. I would hope he would get an opportunity with Twins this year.
