    OF Buxton ..(must get him signed long term !!) Kiriloff and Kepler...i just dont see Larnach getting over his K-ing soon...Rooker same thing. Have to find a place for Miranda next year too...which IMO puts Sano as the DH most of the time..rotating with Donaldson? Arraez has to play about every day..not enough positions to go around. But this wont mean a thing if Twins cant find quality #1 and # 2 starters. + 2 missing bats relievers....and they are not in the system now.

    sorry ..forgot about Joe Ryan..he could be the # 3

    so hard to watch this team all year..what in the H happened to Kepler??? i believe the top 4 in the order is very good now..using Arreaz, Polanco, Buxton and Donaldson - next year maybe follow up with Kirilloff , Garver.... then Sano...then it gets depressing with Cave, Refsnyder(who is regressing as fast as he rose), Simmons, Larnach is nothing but a K King..Celestino, wont be ready,,,, May have to find a place for Miranda next year . But most of all we will need a #1 , # 2 , # 3 Starting Pitchers..next year ill take Pineda, Ober as 4,5..but we cant count on Jax or Gant as # 3.. Then we need massive help at the back end of BullPen

    Arraez??? underrated....one of the best true hitters in the game right now.. i could give a rats $$$ what his power is..the kid can flat out rake !!

    just pathetic how the Twins just roll over when its the arrogant Yankees.. you just new it would turn into a loss somehow...and c'Mon ...you do not give JugHead a pitch to hit out of the park Colome' !!! And Duffy....borderline pitch there..should have thrown the fast ball and just maybe he hits it right at someone..or whiffs....but never ever ever do you walk Gardner there. But, where were the Twins bats for the last 8 innings ???? PATHETIC to keep losing to those fools
  6. MinnInPa
    cant agree..Simmons may be the slickest fielder in the majors...makes plays all over the field..and he has abetter Avg than Kepler..Jeffers, Rooker. He is NOT the reason for the Twins failure this year...it's Pitching Pitching and Pitching...and the Twins batters flailing away at the plate ..... so hard to watch baseball anymore with all the strikeouts....swinging at stuff in the dirt or watching it go right down the pike.

    no doubt one of top 5 in rotation next year. BUT.... we need a #1 and # 2 to compete for Division next year. Ober Ryan and Pineda are 3 we can count on.... but there are no 1 and 2 in the organization. gotta go out and buy them
  8. MinnInPa
    throwing all fastballs wont last long in Bigs...once analyzed he will get shelled unless he comes up with 2 other go to "miss bats" pitches.

    encouraging starts lately ....yes.... but he is no more than a 4 or 5 starter at best.. Twins will wallow in mediocrity until they develop--or trade for --or sign quality 1 and 2 starters..there is not a Berrios on the way to even be a quality #2...Maeda and Pineda are very good 3 or 4 guys IMO on a playoff caliber team. we need pitchers that miss bats !!!
  11. MinnInPa
    no doubt a concern...very easy K for MLB pitchers right now...cant hit any breaking ball...and cant catch up to any speed. all the upside i saw at the beginning of the year is gone..cant see him as any more than another very avg .250 hitter with a way too high K rate over 35%.. wouldnt expect to see him in the starting lineup next year....hope not or Twins are in trouble. But hopefully we say goodbye to the K Cave. Buxton, Kiriloff, Refsnyder, Kepler??? Arraez out there at times..
  12. MinnInPa
    Rooker has some pop..but just has horrible pitch recognition..cant hit a fastball right down the gut and cant lay off sliders in the dirt or low and away. just dont see him ever being more than a .225 hitter and K-ing at a 35% + clip
  13. MinnInPa
    Maeda and Pineda are fine ML pitchers ..but id say they are 3, 4 on a good roster. Twins need a #1 and # 2,,and they aren't going to find them in their own Farm system.. they have a bunch of possible 3,4, 5 guys in the system....they always seem to get out AAA and AA hitters but struggle big time when called up. only way Twins are in contention next year is if front office steps up and throws the bucks at 2 quality starters and 2 quality relievers. ..cuz if history repeats itself none of these young guys will get the job done
  14. MinnInPa
    very frustrating to watch Sano flail away.. great power but never putting the bat on the ball in crucial at bats. watches fast ball go right down the pike and flails away at pitches low and away.. this just shows he guesses a lot ... and doesnt really pick up pitches well at all. Larnach is the same way..pitchers know how to get him to K easily. Twins have way too many players with over 30% + K rate
  15. MinnInPa
    i may be the only guy that wants no trading of Berrios or Pineda..with Pineda Maeda and Berrios Twins would have a good nucleus for next year..no true Ace but solid 2,3,4....(no one they get in trades will be better than them in the near future). Ober can be a good 5...but what Twins need most of all is an ACE. and oh,,,,,5 good relievers ..there is absolutely no one in that pen that can be trusted.
  16. MinnInPa
    Twins are historically horrible at trading at the deadline. so, my expectations are very low on who other teams throw at us for trade bait. just look at all the crap we've got from the Yankees for years
  17. MinnInPa
    seems like just another K King.. already K'd 75 times at AAA we have plenty hitters with over 30% K rates already. My God its hard watching a game these days...swinging at pitches in the dirt and then watching called strike 3's...pathetic
  18. MinnInPa
    again ..we get nothing in return. if you want to compare..look at the Twins 5 to 30 prospect list..any of these guys gonna be stars?? .300 hitters, 100 RBI guys?? #1 or #2 starter quality pitchers?? nope ..... just a couple more arms that will have success at AAA and then get bombed when their called up.. we cant develop top starters or relievers that miss bats.. this trend continues
