Revere broke his ankle yesterday so he's out a while. Span has been moved down to 7th in batting order today

I 100% believe this as its not in Terry Ryan's DNA to spend money on people he deems unworthy. Problem is that other organizations have deemed our players worthy thru years that Ryan/MN front office were too cheap on.

Why ever compare players then??? How few are gonna have exact ages/experience

think Logan Darnell has a better shot than Albers, whom Ive heard Reusse say the Twins dont think too highly of. Ive been a big fan of Hendriks and want him to get another shot.

With only 62 innings pitched, there is no reason to put a 25 yr old (in NOV) on the 40 man. Nobody is gonna take him & have him pitch all of next yr......think of all the better prospects that get thru Rule V. It may be different if he was a first round 22 yr old, but he's not. Hopefully he'll be on the same timetable of rehabbing as Gibby's first game last summer was July 10

With DeVries having elbow troubles all year & the way he's pitched.....I hope its not the dreaded misdiagnosed TJ injury. Hernandez is/should be tried as more of a lefty reliever....esp long reliever as thats his only MLB shot. I would actually hope that Trevor May would get some AAA starts this year as well

Ryan is combing the minors for the next Eduardo Escobar & Pedro Hernandez. How the times have changed.

The end of Gardy is near which means the end of Rick Anderson is also. How much of their success leaving MN has to do w/'change of scenery', which I attribute to leaving Andy's reign. Marquis complained openly about Anderson trying to change his game speed/mound plan to comply with the 'Twins Way' but since leaving MN 34 starts 15W 11L 3.89ERA 206 IP 197h 155K 93bb 32hr I, for one, can see that pitching in the NL & Petco Park can help a pitcher but Marquis is much better on the road (3.79 ERA) than home (3.97ERA) with the Padres. I hated the Marquis signing like most, but these numbers show there was something their that MN couldnt get out of him. Most of us also were completely fed up with Frankie & had NO problem getting rid of him for absolutely nothing. His ChiSox numbers were no different but this year with a new pitching coach/attitude 12st 9W 3L 2.00ERA 76.2 IP 63h 80k 28bb 3hr Frankie's main change is now bringing his hands aboce his head (for better balance)....something the Twins DO NOT want their pitchers to do (philosiphy) as Ive heard it discussed in interviews. I want a managerial change (I do think Gardy is an above average mgr who'll get a shot as soon as he wants it) more to just change our pitching coach & team philosiphy of pitching (maybe someone who can handle a 12 man staff??).

Is there any other reason than its his first full season away from Rick Anderson

Would like to get a longer everyday look.....not like this team has too many right handed hitters

He'll move to SS soon.....wonder if JJ Hardy is available!!

Bill Smith didn't get to stick around to see his prospects flourish so why should Terry Ryan? Don't root for Twins to lose...tho I caught myself doing it this yr.....but rather for specific players that don't belong to fail

Under no circumstances would I think that Terry Ryan would even take a sniff of Hughes, who I really like.

Twins currently have the 5th worst record in MLB & on pace for 93 losses......that should answer the question. Good managers get fired every year (world series winners Charly Manuel & Mike Scoscia later this year) & its not a knock on managerial skills but something that has to be done.
