    I think Maeda has been the best and most consistent of the possible third starters, but it's a close call. Hopefully Ryan does just as well as Maeda would have.

    Unless there is a setback, Stewart will be with the Twins on Tuesday. I don't know about Buxton, but the Twins can afford to put him in the lineup for plate appearances now that they've clinched. As mentioned above, it is really difficult to option people or DFA them, since all the players on the active roster are candidates for postseason. I guess when Stewart is activated, they could either DFA Floro or option Funderburk.

    I mostly agree with your thoughts above. I do think Lee is a future All-Star, probably as a third baseman, and he would be a capable shortstop (not "break glass in emergency") despite only average speed and range (much like Correa). I don't think he's ready for a major league debut and certainly not for postseason baseball, but he's only been a professional for about 15 months.

    Given Rocco ‘s experience with the Twins (too many injured guys, some trying to play), that might be tempting.
  5. stringer bell
    TheTwins announced their starters for the Oakland series. Ober, López a Gray will pitch for the home team. Maeda will work out of the bullpen. It looks like Ryan will be the #3 starter in the postseason.
  6. stringer bell
    They haven’t had a longer winning streak than 5 and never won 9 of 10 this season., but they are playing poor teams eliminated this year.
  7. stringer bell
    Funderburk and first hitters might cause him to be left off the postseason roster.
  8. stringer bell
    Mr. Jeffers has become a pretty good baseball player.
  9. stringer bell
    Boom and now two more hits. Vikings couldn’t come back from a four-point deficit. Doubtful that the Angels can (I can talk smart now that they’ve won the division.
  10. stringer bell
    Willi was eligible for arb last year and was non-tendered by Detroit. He will be eligible for arb this year and the next.
  11. stringer bell
    The much maligned contact way brought in the lead run even with Jeffers running. Paddack might not get a chance to pitch now.
  12. stringer bell
    Rehab update: Gordon 0-2, strikeout, walk and caught stealing. Buxton and Gallo 0-3 with one K each.
  13. stringer bell
    Rehab update: Buxton, Gallo and Gordon all in the lineup for the Saints’ season finalé. All are hitless so far. Stewart and Alcalá are in the bullpen.
  14. stringer bell
    I would say 20 homers from Taylor is a rationale for letting him swing.
  15. stringer bell
    Taylor hasn’t performed exceptionally well since returning, but it seems more like a slump than a real injury.
  16. stringer bell
    Yes, but no. He was in the organization and the team would have to petition to add him. It can be done, especially since he likely would be replacing an injured player (Correa or Lewis). If either Vázquez or Jeffers suffered an injury between now and round one, the Twins would have to petition to add a catcher—same scenario. Edit to add, that is my understanding of the rule.
  17. stringer bell
    Willi gets another day off. I hope he isn’t nicked from his dive from Friday night. Polanco has been poor at third, but who else is going to play there?
  18. stringer bell
    I agree with this and will add that the club has to make active roster decisions, both with the position players and pitchers. Guys like Luplow, Stevenson and Larnach. Each player who has a position locked down probably has a plan for playing time. Solano has played more than he ever has and is 35, but also in a slump. Castro has played every day since returning from injury and may have been nicked on Friday night. Julien is dealing with a dodgy hamstring etc. etc.
  19. stringer bell
    It looks like Moran to the 60-day IL.
  20. stringer bell
    Service time is measured in days. Adding Lee for the last eight days would only add eight days service time, probably not a big deal. A bigger deal would be adding him to the 40-man, both in the short term and long term.
  21. stringer bell
    Which is why they won't do something like that until their season is over.
  22. stringer bell
    Paddack will probably be activated today and a move will have to be made for him. Same for Stewart, So two moves off the 40-man today. Gordon's 20-day rehab will be over on October 5, Alcalá's on October 8, so if the Twins are still playing then, two additional subtractions would have to be made to make room for them. In a previous thread someone predicted that Jovani Moran would be recalled and placed on the 60-day IL to make a space. If the Twins can do that, I'm sure they will. Otherwise, it is veterans like Keuchel, Floro, Gallo or Luplow or fringe roster guys like Celestino, Sands and Winder.
  23. stringer bell
    I guess Luplow was actually optioned, something he had to approve, so he was never off the 40-man.
  24. stringer bell
    This is the most Solano has ever played in a season and he's 35 years old.. I would agree that they are trying to get Kirilloff going and the Angels are going with two lefties after tonight.
  25. stringer bell
    "Bulk" pitcher is a right hander.
