    Bring up Lewis & ease him at 3B, when he's absolutely 100% & start lighting things up then let him take over. Lewis is a ROY candidate let's give him a chance to win it this year. But above all Lewis's health is priority, so keep him in the INF.

    ThanK you you both so very much! for the work you put in this, I really enjoyed it. Cole Carrigg is my personal favorite, Just because of the team's need in the OF, he was switched off catching. The pundits have docked him believing he has no position but he can literately play anywhere & excel. Because of the lack of quality college catchers available and our need, he could be a steal at #75

    Farmer's courage has quietly becoming a leader on the Twins.

    Contreras has been doing well in AAA. For a short term basis, They should bring him up especially facing RHPs. And rotate Buxton & Taylor in CF to face LHPs shouldn't be to strenous on either of them. They said that they'd evaluate Buxton to play CF in May now it's almost June.

    We have a pretty unseasoned BP, Not too many seasons under their belt, especially since Theilbar is out. An accomplished veteran would be nice so someone like Jax could be lowered in the pecking order until he gets his stuff together. Pagan needs to stay on the bottom.

    Always liked Plouffe as a player & a personality, a true Twin. He was so stiff & straight lace in his 1st presentation but sure that'll change.
  7. Doctor Gast
    That's what made them a better hitting team.

    Thank you Roger for stating this. I've been lambasted for suggesting Lewis not to play especially in the OF. Lewis will play anywhere you put him. I'm glad he has an agent who is smart enough to advise the Twins on where they should play him because the Twins will play him anywhere they feel like. I'd like to see that agent statement. I like to see Brook Lee at 3B because quickness & sure glove long term & Lewis at 2B because of his range. If Correa gets moved off SS he'd move to 3B because of his arm.

    They need to keep Gordon in the OF where he's naturally better instead of systematically trying to jam in the INF where doesn't fit. Last year was a good year to give Helman a shot at 2B. Lewis is a spark plug that can get any team fired up.

    Fort Meyers has some pretty good unexpected hitters
  11. Doctor Gast
    Thanks Mat, always knew Pablo had a lot of up side as you explained. As soon it starts to warm up so will Lopez, then he'll gets all his pitches going.
  12. Doctor Gast
    Hopefully he'll start rehab soon, then.

    I agree with MLR that Contreras is MLR, does he need a little bit more seasoning in the Bigs? Could he back Buxton up next year? Severino continues to impress me, Early this season Cossetti has been on my radar, IMO he needs a lot more work on his defense but his hitting is great. Speaking about backing up Buxton, where is Celestino at?

    After the ordeal in NYY stadium, MN went into a slight funk. Fortunately the return of Polanco has gotten us out of it. The return of Polanco has kept Gordon in the OF where he belongs & now he's showing some life. We got the momentum on our side but CWS & especially CLE will try to disrupt that so we need to play them tough, Duran looked human but with warmer weather the team will look better. I'm looking forward to Kiriloff & Lewis coming back even though it'll cause some issues. Ober & Varland will be fine. If Larnach continues to have difficulty to adjust to off speed he might also be sent down in favor of Kiriloff. We had a good April but May, June & July will be better.
  15. Doctor Gast
    Gray & Buxton were great! I've always said that Gordon plays best in the OF, Keep him there.
  16. Doctor Gast
    Just because Gallo is pretty good cOF & has played CF doesn't mean he's a good CF or should play there. But give him a try against RHPs so Kiriloff can come back isn't a bad idea.
  17. Doctor Gast
    IMO any time in the MLB is not wasted. The 5 innings he pitched earlier is invaluable. Headrick is 4th man on the totem pole behind Ober, Varland & SWR and any innings he gets in the MLB level would be much more valuable than in AAA. IMO will be a SP but that does mean he can't get some time in at long relief on the MLB level

    We have a roster crunch right now. I like our chances with the incoming support better than those you recommended, there's no guarantee on them either. The main cold hitters are Correa, Miranda & Kepler. Kepler has been turning it on, Miranda is heating up a little, Correa is the only one that's really lagging behind & I don't recommend switching him out but drop him down the order might wake him up as MNfireman stated.
  19. Doctor Gast
    Twins couldn't generate much & KC beat us by small ball. Ober had a pretty good game considering.
  20. Doctor Gast
    Gordon's best shot is OF, that's where he plays best. The addition of Gallo & Taylor plus hanging unto Kepler & Larnach was hot with Kiriloff ready to come back. has really put a crimp on Gordon's opportunity to make it in the OF. I really like the contributions that Gordon has done in the OF the last 2 seasons but because of what FO has done & not done Gordon's Goose is cooked. So I'd try to find a suiter for him but how he has been playing I doubt that there'll be any. Yet if he's DFAed he be gone, no doubt about it. Cave was gotten right away, if nobody else would claim him DET would.
  21. Doctor Gast
    Congrats to Polanco on his 100 HR.
  22. Doctor Gast
    TOR & MN were tinkering with him to get more power out of his swing but towards the end of last season into the AFL, he went back to his basic swing and really broke out. There's no doubt in my mind that he'll sustain it. IMO he'll be very valuable as a true super utility player (probably not SS) but playing OF & at times 2B. Although he won't be a power hitter but he'll have his share of HRs and much more of his share of getting on base & stealing bases plus very good defense. I'm really anxious about his elbow, I'd like for him to have the TJ & start rehabbing as soon as possible so he can contribute to the MLB club.

    SD really didn't want to commit to surgery so they went with the blood cell injections.

    29 out of 30 times, I'd say Pablo Lopez go out there & pitch 7+ innings. He's used to MIA weather & has never pitched in cold & wet weather like this. If you're not used to this type of weather it could cause some issues. So this'd be the time if Lopez had to pitch just limit it to 5 innings. Yesterday, Lopez did not have his best stuff especially after 5. I'm just saying use some common sense, we want our best SPs in the rotation throughout the season & into the post season. Not the popular social media, LaRussa philosophy of having all your SPs pitch 7+ innings all the time no matter what, even if it results in injuries & ineffectiveness. I'm just voicing my opinion.

    Royce Lewis getting in some ST games is great news!
