    WE need at least 1 more starter. Bundy is already showing signs that he will crash and burn, Archer should probably be in the pen as maybe our long reliever.
  2. Karbo
    I wonder how long until they move N.Miller up to Cedar Rapids. He seems to be the real deal, at least hitting.
  3. Karbo
    I see Rocco is sitting both Buck and Correa. Really? I guess he figures he can just toss anyone out there and win against KC. I sure hope it doesn't turn into one of those "regret" games.

    What is the deal with the PTN Medina? Anyone? Could he help tip the scale?
  5. Karbo
    IMO he should have stayed. He has experience in the outfield and should be an easy transition to 3B. When a guy can hit like him you make room somewhere.
  6. Karbo
    I worry the most about Bundy. He's like a train wreck waiting to happen.
  7. Karbo
    1 game a week would be an improvement. As the current plan is playing out he sits twice a week an DHs one other time! I believe a realistic goal would be 125 to 140 games a year. Dh once or twice a week if necessary.

    I think Rocco is probably a very likeable guy and from everything I've read or heard he keeps a great clubhouse atmosphere. As far as his game managing goes, there has been some improvement starting toward mid Aug. of last season IMO. With that being said, I feel there is plenty of room for more improvement, especially in the way he handles the pitching staff. I also would add that he could improve his communication with the fans. I know many people who feel he comes across as kind of aloof or snobish or "I'm the smartest guy in the room".

    I like Arraez at 1B so far. He's made most the plays he should make and is learning the position. I can see a possible situation where he plays 1B against rightys and maybe move Urshala to 1B against leftys and let Lewis play 3B? Then maybe give Lewis some LF against rightys a few times a week to keep him in the lineup? Just an idea.

    A great problem

    Karbo commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    At this point I would give Lewis time at 3B, LF. Platoon some with Urshala maybe trying some 1B rotation with Arraez. Miranda will probably be sent down to get his groove back anyway.

    Have to agree that Rocco may have cost the Twins another W with his pen management. I don't understand how the FO can continue going along with the mistakes he makes. I also agree about his lineups. I've said before that I have quit going to games because I won't spend that much money when the last 4 times I've gone the best players are sitting or in the case of Buxton one time DHing.
  12. Karbo
    I can see him getting time at 3B, OF similar to Arraez with a better glove and more power.
  13. Karbo
    At this point I don't see Pagan as the best option for closer. IMO that would be Duran. Of course it would be nice if we had a manager that knew how to handle a bullpen. Just no excuse how it was handled last night. He hung Jax out to dry for no reason.
  14. Karbo
    Urshala can play a pretty good 3B on the D side though I would be all in on moving Lewis over there when Correa comes back at least on a trial basis. If Miranda starts hitting then we have a pretty good rotational possibility. I am so tired of seeing Sanchez as our DH. He is alot like Sano with less power and more contact. Unfortunately that contact at this point has meant a bunch of pop ups and fly outs. Use him as a backup catcher until there is another catcher available through promotion or trade.
  15. Karbo
    So much promise and that turned to hope. I would love to see the big guy come back and tear the cover off the ball and prove all of us wrong.
  16. Karbo
    Seems odd our minor league POD only went 4 IP
  17. Karbo
    I thought the Twins were crazy when they signed him. Emergency starter/long reliever is the only role I see for him. It is being proven out that we have several other better options to start. Ryan, Gray, Winder, Ober, & Paddock should be the 5. If they want to stick with 6 then include Archer before Bundy IMHO.
  18. Karbo
    Hmm, I don't seem to remember guys like Carew, or Tovar hitting lots of homers. Even Puckett didn't hit for power when he first came up. Time to stop shoving a square peg in a round hole. Let the kid develop what talents he has. He is still going to be a very good ballplayer even if he doesn't hit homeruns!
  19. Karbo
    A few take aways; If Buxton was playing (I guess Rocco thinks he needs 1 or 2 days off per week now) the 4th inning probably doesn't get away. That 1st ball is caught and you never get that deep into the inning IMO. Why was Bundy left in for another inning? Rocco was plenty quick to use the hook on Ryan our presumed ace, yet he gave Bundy so much rope he could have hung himself twice. Also, how unlucky do you have to be to hit the ball so hard at so many infielders to hit into so many DP's. Lastly, I wonder if the boys have heard or read too much about their D lately, as it sure looked like a couple of times they were just hoping for a miracle.
  20. Karbo
    Let miranda play for a while. he looks good. let him have a couple of weeks of adjustment and I think every thing will work out fine between 1B, DH & 3B.
  21. Karbo
    Nice to see Kepler has discovered there is another field to the left of 2nd base.
  22. Karbo
    If they put Sano on IL I would love to see Miranda get a look. IMO he has earned it.
  23. Karbo
    how about working with a few others? Sano comes to mind
  24. Karbo
    Urshala at 3B is a big improvement. Keep Arraez away from there as much as possible and we have a pretty good infield defense.
  25. Karbo
    Was this the real Dylan Bundy?
