    Don't trade Bell just for the sake of him being a FA DH. He's producing! He's also a reason we're winning. Same with Larnach. Makes no sense if we're winning and close. Larnach is under $6M, pocket change in today's MLB. Take the chance. Don't break up the core.

    Again, another game where our bullpen implodes and the hitters have to bail them out. Enough's enough. Still regretting the Varland trade? Glad Rhoden is being given a shot.

    1. Look at what Varland is doing in Toronto. ERA 0.98 with 17 saves. Still don't understand why they traded him 2. Revamped IF and the guys in new positions are actually playing and hitting better. 3. Can't get a good look at starting pitching because someone is always getting hurt. There is a good feeling that these guys are going to get better. 4. I was against trading Jeffers, but he has been gone so long, and the backups are filling in nicely. See what you can get for him. 5. Bell has produced nicely. I know they are trading him no matter what, but hopefully we have a decent backup.

    Trade Bell, Larnach and Wallner. Release Banda. Bring up the young fellas and let them ride.

    I attended the game where Carl Pohlad signed the documents, buying the Twins in 1984. The stadium was full and excited. It was time. Time for a change. Everyone was tired of Calvin Griffth's cheap ways. It was refreshing. It's time again.

    Players are too soft these days. They need rest. They need "days off". GET OFF MY LAWN!!

    What do they have to lose? Ideas: 1. Bring back SWR and put him in the bullpen. One solid inning Simeon, that's all we need. 2. Bring up Culpepper and install him at SS for the rest of the season. Show him you have confidence in him. Let him make mistakes and rebound. 3. Play Royce at 1B. Same reasoning as Culpepper. 4. Negotiate with Joe Ryan for long-term contract. 5. Negotiate with Ryan Jeffers for long-term contract. At least make the effort on Ryan and Jeffers. 6. Trade Josh Bell for whatever you can get. Thanks Josh. 7. Move Keaschall to LF, Martin to RF, Arcia at 2B and Larnach to DH. 8. Call up Gonzalez. LET'S GO!!!

    With that type of thinking, the Twins should have traded Frank Viola back in '84-'86 prior to the Twins winning the World Series. Sign the guy. You can still get him cheap for next year. I also believe the Twins can extend Pablo for another year or two on the cheap as well. I just wish the Front Office would try and win. Josh Bell and James Outman are not examples of the Front Office "trying". Signing a veteran reliever with a lifetime ERA over 5.00 is not "trying". Come on, at least try.

    According to Baseball Reference, the Twins have 13 players making $1.1 million or more. That leaves 13 players making league minimum (or so). If the players adopted the salcap and the owners increased the league minimum to $1.5M or better, wouldn't everyone benefit from that? Of the 780 players currently on the MLB rosters, only a handful are going to get that huge contract. Spreading the money around at the lower end would benefit more players than the current system. They really need to consider it.

    Pohlad better pull off a Herschel Walker trade or sign him long-term now.
