    Lewis did injure himself running to first base, not while playing the field. Keeping yourself warmed up and ready to run as a DH is not that easy, let alone being able to stay in the game mentally when you don't play the field. It takes work to transition to DH on a regular basis. Buxton struggled last year. With that said, Lewis is not that great at 3B, France has 1B locked up for the year, maybe start getting Lewis practicing at 1B to potentially make the move next year.

    I agree all the issues are not Rocco's fault. But, sometimes a team needs a new voice. I have been critical of Rocco's lack of urgency. He was a great choice when hired, now time for someone new.

    Small sample size and a lot of ABs in challenging conditions so far for both of these players. Maybe wait to make any judgements.

    Excited about Morris potential, not putting a lot of judgement on AAA numbers. He went from 84 to 133 innings pitched last year from the year before. Lets see what he can do at AAA with a fresh arm this year.

    Wishlist should include more equitable playing field for all MLB teams. How can low to mid market teams be consistently competitive when there are teams with payrolls 3 times or more larger. Add Cole and Soto to the Twins, Twins are probably still playing. The top 6 payrolls in MLB all made the playoffs. Look what happened to the Mets, now they have owner willing to spend some money, Mets are in NLCS. 3 out of 4 teams left are from top 6 payrolls , Cleveland did not have to beat top 6 payroll team to get to ALCS. Mets and Yankees are 1-2 in payroll, still playing.

    Feel bad for Kiersay, arguably the second best defensive CF in Twins system and has hit well enough this year at AAA. But, he is not on 40 man roster, To me, Keirsay would have been a better choice than Julien but stuck at AAA.

    Royce is not 100% physically this year. Tough to judge, but will he ever be 100%. I like him at 3rd.

    Twins are not a player or two away from winning World Series. Sellers market this year, price was too high for players that may have helped Twins. Twins have a good farm system, ranked #3 by Bleacher Report. Twins can't buy their way to playoffs, WS, have to develop their own talent. With that said, likely could have at least got solid LH reliever without mortgaging the future.

    Looks to be 4 position spots opening on 26 man next year. Farmer and Margot are no doubters to be gone, Santana- may be pushing Twins luck to sign him for 39 year old season, and Kepler will be free agent, will be too expensive for Twins and have cheaper options. Most likely Julien gets one of those spots if not traded. Lewis if healthy gets one, Kirilloff?, Martin?

    Great exposure for Festa, hopefully takes information learned and makes necessary adjustments in AAA. Next chance, Festa will be more prepared, has MLB stuff but needs refinement.
  12. 4twinsJA
    Not great results in past. Does not hurt to take flier on someone if price not too high. Just can't see Twins spending the money or prospects to acquire a true difference maker.
  13. 4twinsJA
    AA has some nice starting pitching at the moment- Morris, Matthews, Lewis, Nowlin, Adams, and Jones. Agree can't have too much pitching, not all these will be successful MLB pitchers.
  14. 4twinsJA
    I agree, any player in the Twins price range, probably not a clear upgrade over present players.
  15. 4twinsJA
    Love the headline, sure to elicit more comments about "pipeline" than 4 pitchers mentioned.
  16. 4twinsJA
    SWR has been pleasant surprise this year. I for one was did not have lofty expectations for him. Great job by SWR and Twins staff on making changes and progressing to level he is at.
  17. 4twinsJA
    Twins have a good AAA roster. Julien, Wallner, Kirilloff, Severino, Camargo all on 40 man so easier to promote. Helman and Kiersay have done well, may get a shot. Lee has most potential but needs time at AAA. Holland has done surprisingly well, Prato has taken a step back this year, Kemp looks like AAA depth and experience. Williams and Isola are long shots, Winkel may still develop as catcher but not ready at this time.
  18. 4twinsJA
    If Vasquez traded and Camargo called up, who is 3rd catcher-Williams, Isola, Winkel. None of them have shown they are MLB ready.
  19. 4twinsJA
    You have to trade something of value to get something of value. I would be in favor of a Gray like trade. Going to have to part with a potential good MLB player to get a top to mid rotation type pitcher.
  20. 4twinsJA
    Agree with Linus, good results at lower levels don't guarantee results at MLB level. But, better than pitcher struggling at A, AA. There is some hope. Shows how hard it is to make it to MLB level and be successful.
  21. 4twinsJA
    Good to see Severino heating up, had terrible start to year. Matthews to AAA this year? Probably won't be until later in year, but if keeps his performance up will be hard to keep at AA.
  22. 4twinsJA
    Each week/month that goes by, Twins owe veterans less and less if released. I would not think anything will happen until after the All-Star break, but after that could see some movement. I don't see anyone coming up from AAA until later in season unless there is an injury. I expect a month+ for Julien at AAA.
  23. 4twinsJA
    Don't see Twins going all in with this team, not a player or 2 from winning WS. Agree with above posters, not much to get out of Colorado.
  24. 4twinsJA
    Looks like Boushley making a case to surpass Varland in starting pitching pecking order. I would have Festa, Boushley, then Varland.
  25. 4twinsJA
    Yes, Paddack would go to IL, but remain on 40 man roster so if Festa called up someone else would need to be taken off 40 man roster.
