    probably depends on how he does. If he does well I don't see any reason to send him back. If he gets shelled they probably will.
  2. Karbo
    Another questionable decision to bring in Megill, The yanks had a string of righty's coming up, so why not bring in the guy that has pretty much dominated righty's this year in Farner?

    I call Cave Mr. Hustle. No one can say he isn't giving his all every time he steps on the field!

    I think Duran should be the closer next year. Lopez can setup or close if Duran needs an off day. It seems to me his groundball/strikeout style fits more as a setup than closer. This year using Duran as the "stopper" makes sense as there isn't anyone else. I feel Lopez is in closer mode the rest of the year now. Hopefully next year will have a little mor talent out there.

    No I don't think so. Just the lead was large enough that it no longer was a save situation, and he could be saved for another day.

    Really when you look at things, the replacement players that have been called on have done a pretty good job. That seems to me to be the biggest difference between the Twins and the Sox. Next year could be a pretty good year looking at who the starters should be, With Mahle added to Gray, Ryan, Maeda, and hopefully Paddack, it looks like a pretty good rotation. Move Ober to the pen, and maybe add in someone else to take the place of Pagan and even the pen looks strong. Now if the hitters can get a little more consistent, this could be a real good team.

    I like that idea! Probably makes too much sense to actually happen, but it sure would be interesting!
  8. Karbo
    I sure hope they win a very winnable division. If they don't its time for a new manager!
  9. Karbo
    I just keep seeing so many starters only going 4-5 innings. I can understand not pushing in the lower ranks, but IMO once they hit AA they should be pushed to go at least 6. Its no wonder the starters today rarely see the 7th inning. The game has changed, but is it for the better? Especially now that the league put restrictions on the number of relievers carried in the pen.

    Duran should be the closer!
  11. Karbo
    Looks to me like Arraez be "small" for a 1st baseman hasn't hurt him a bit.
  12. Karbo
    IMO its time to give closer duty to Duran. Let Lopez be the "stopper" and Duran the closer. I would think with Lopez being a starter most of his career he could even be a 2 inning "stopper" to ease the burden of all the innings required with this starting staff.
  13. Karbo
    He sure looks good in the minors. Lets hope he gets a chance with the Twins next year! It will be a big spring for him, and with some of the players going in the Classic, he should get a chance to show whether or not he's ready.
  14. Karbo
    I agree completely! IMO a benching or two might wake up the squad. I see it all the time from all the teams. Guys just jogging down to 1st, or guys standing there watching how far it goes. IMO they should bust it until it's gone. Of course todays millionaire players are babied and coddeled so much that can never happen!
  15. Karbo
    The guy can flat out hit. Love his 2 strike approach. I don't think he really hurts us defensively, and he will improve there also. But my vote still goes to Tony O for best rookie!
  16. Karbo
    I don't know what to make of Balozivic. He has looked awful this year. Is there something physically wrong? Martin should just ignore all the talk about hitting for more power. Be the player he is. I'll take a guy that hits .300 with no power as long as he can play defense.
  17. Karbo
    The more the guy plays the better he looks!
  18. Karbo
    IMO, Rocco's future hinges on the last month of the season. If they can win the division they will probably keep him. If they lose it, he should be gone. It's been a terrible few months that aren't really all his fault, but the way he has handled the pitching staff has been hard to watch. He continued to march out Pagan no matter how bad things went. He gets his mind bent on all the stats, and doesn't seem to have a feel for the game. A lot of the problem has to be laid at the feet of the FO also. I'm not going to blame much onj injuries, because truth be told, all teams are dealing with them. The fact that the Twins had some bats in the minors that were able to step up and help is huge. Unfortunately, the arms weren't as ready to do the same.
  19. Karbo
    Anyone to replace Beckham is a positive. I see his role as late inning replacement or designated ghost runner.
  20. Karbo
    I don't understand why his def. rating is so low. I haven't missed a game this year, and he looks good out there. Maybe he's a bit limited in range, but he seems OK to me. That said, anything over 6-7 mil AAV would be too much IMO.
  21. Karbo
    I agree that its time to make a change with Archer. Pen looks like a good place for him to finish the year. Maybe a piggyback for Bundy?
  22. Karbo
    If only he was right handed. Maybe if they can get a manager that isn't always leaning on the righty/lefty against same side pitchers he will get a look.
  23. Karbo
    An ex-twin once said something to the extent of "its hard to throw when your hands are around your throat". Looks like its hard to hit that way too!
  24. Karbo
    Call up Varland! Demote Megill or cut Pagan. Like Dman says, move Archer to the pen. If he can't or won't, drop him.
  25. Karbo
    I have been critical of Rocco's way of managing for the last 2 years. Now where is the FO? Putting Beckham on the roster has to be one of the worst moves any of the FO has made. And Cave? Well at least he hustles and can play defense. Now tonight we won't have a long reliever available to pitch 4-5 innings after short start Archer. Instead we have a bunch of guys that go 1 inning at a time. FO needs to pull their heads out of their butts and get a new manager and fix some of these issues in the pen before the start of next year!
