    Three game lead with the first leg of a three-city trip in the books.
  2. stringer bell
    Well, the run differential might improve a bit here. Gordon GDPs, so maybe not.
  3. stringer bell
    H was in danger of falling below Jeffers in OPS. Clemens in to pitch.
  4. stringer bell
    Since July 1, Polanco has easily been the Twins' best hitter.
  5. stringer bell
    I don't think so. He doesn't offer much at all on offense, Zero power so far and despite an above-average BABIP, his production has been minimal.
  6. stringer bell
    Why are they hitting for Baez?
  7. stringer bell
    Looks like you'd really need to blast one to get out in right field.
  8. stringer bell
    Gotta make that play Jorge!!!
  9. stringer bell
    Are the Blackhawks still bad?
  10. stringer bell
    Not unusual, but still disappointing.........the hitters are going down meekly after a quick start.
  11. stringer bell
    We’ll have a whole new outfield I would guess. Kirilloff to right, Celestino to center and Gordon to left.
  12. stringer bell
    Broken toe?
  13. stringer bell
    Miggy has a decent batting average, but the power is gone. Still wouldn’t want to face him with the game on the line.
  14. stringer bell
    Does Gio still lead MLB in GDP?
  15. stringer bell
    Fielder’s Choice, error, hit by pitch, hit by pitch—sounds like a rally!

    ESPN has Garcia as the starter for the Tigers. A late change perhaps? Also, Michael Pineda has found the Injured List, that is a total surprise. /s/
  17. stringer bell
    I haven't found any updates on Alcala, Coulombe, Maeda, Larnach, Jeffers or Jhon Romero, but in the minor league report, Matt Braun notes that Josh Winder was again placed on the Injured List (for the Saints) with shoulder impingment. I guess this means that the next man up is indeed Devin Smeltzer when another starter is needed.

    I can see Miranda being a trade piece in a major deal. Nick Gordon isn't going to net much more than a lottery ticket or a middling to poor reliever with an expiring contract, at best.

    So, does Lee fit above Miller in the shortstop pecking order? Actually, to be more precise, can we fans expect Lee making his debut for the Twins before Miller? As a 21-year-old with advanced skills, I would expect he could finish this season at Cedar Rapids, although I have no idea what the Twins are planning.
  20. stringer bell
    Lee has agreed to term according to mlbtraderumors.com.

    Moran has pitched much better for the Twins than he has for the Saints. In roughly the same amount of work, every stat looks better with the Twins--BB rate, K rate, H/IP, and WHIP. He has walk issues that I would presume will come back to bite him, but his stuff looks pretty good. The fastball looks to be an acceptable major league pitch and the changeup is first rate.

    What we don’t know is how much time it would take to make him “full go”. I don’t like the current arrangement much at all, particularly that Buxton is DHing so often and that his great speed is only in evidence so sporadically. However, he hasn’t gone more than three days without playing in the field since he recovered sufficiently to play after his injury in Boston IIRC.
  23. stringer bell
    The Twins do have three days off in a row after the All-Star game. Buxton should be about as good as he can be after those three days.
  24. stringer bell
    According to the Twins website, Alcala is supposed to throw a bullpen session today and then a live batting practice session on Friday or Saturday. This is the first news I've seen on him since he was placed in a "holding pattern" after reporting stiffness after a one-inning rehab appearance.

    Regarding 40-man decisions, Having Godoy available on the 40-man is desireable so that if he were to be called up for a day or two (if Sanchez or Hamilton were nicked up). Dropping either Hamilton or Godoy when Jeffers returns makes perfect sense. The closer we come to Larnach being activated, the less the club needs Contreras. I agree that a DFA of a pitcher could and should happen, maybe in conjunction with the acquisition of a pitcher or two, or adding back pitchers currently on the IL.
