    Good (ironic?) timing on this one....Buck leaves today's game early and Fedko clearly can't handle mlb pitching at this point. I'd bet Buck goes to 10-day IL and Fedko is sent down. That would/will open two spots. Roden likely gets one. The other??

    Under Falvey it seems like the org did a very poor job of self-scouting. So many guys have left and done better....Varland, Brent Headrick, Trevor Megill, Jeff Hoffman...... Seems at every turn they chose to keep the wrong guy.

    In the times I've seen him pitch his stuff screams late-inning, high-leverage reliever. And then he starts walking people. Until (If?) the command improves the hybrid role might be the best spot for him.
  4. HerbieFan
    If he stays healthy and continues to play well I think we see him after the trade deadline.
  5. HerbieFan
    It's an organizational (Falvey) failure.....drafting, player development and coaching
  6. HerbieFan
    What he is is better. What is not is good.

    100%. At some point they have to look at Prielipp's workload....I like the idea of limiting him to 60-70 pitches and use Paredes as a piggy back.

    If Falvey/Rocco and their 85 pitches and done philosophy were still here there would be zero chance Ryan would even want to be here. Maybe (a BIG maybe) Shelty is different enough. My guess is its wishful thinking and he has no interest in staying beyond 2027 = he's getting traded.

    I'm in the sign Jeffers camp.
  10. HerbieFan
    Not even a little bit. Worst case he'll make an unbelievable left fielder when Jenkins is ready to play CF.

    If I never have to see Justin Lawrence pitch again for the Twins it'll be too soon.....

    I would think the "weak AL" or "wide open AL" arguments would help the Twins. More teams who think they're in a race = more teams who think they need to add. This team surely should not be adding to try and win this season.

    Personally....I prefer they just leave Royce at 1B. Been saying that for a year...he has the size and I think it's ok to have someone "too athletic to play 1B" at 1B. Maybe it'll help him avoid all of the soft tissue injuries that have hindered him. On Keaschall, I hope they leave him at 2B. See if he can figure it out. They're going nowhere next this year anyway.

    He ain't going to waive his no-trade to go to Philly....

    Definitely a new era in baseball evaluation. Bell has been considered mostly "bad" this year but he's on pace for 95 RBI.

    I haven't seen much rhyme or reason to his bullpen usage (maybe that's a good thing with this group?) but kuddos to Shelton for having this team only a game under .500. No Pablo. Taj injury. Abel injury. Lewis and Wallner flame out. Never would have guessed all of that would equal 26-27.

    All Victor Caratini has shown me through the first 1/3 of the season is that he's basically Vazquez part 2. I don't understand why Jeffers hasn't been signed. Tait is a top prospect, but he's just that - a prospect. There are exactly zero catchers in the organization that look like they could come anywhere close to what Jeffers is.

    By June 15 could we see Emma Rodriguez in RF, Kaelen Culpepper at SS and Brooks Lee at 3B??
  19. HerbieFan
    Seriously.....how are there four bullpens worse than the Twins??
  20. HerbieFan
    Sadly, Royce Lewis is the poster child of the Twins' complete inability to fully develop position players under Falvey.
  21. HerbieFan
    As a 58-year old, beaten down Minnesota sports fan, I'm not even sure how to respond to this. I'm SO used to the worst-case, this just doesn't even seem possible! :)

    I feel sorry for Derek Shelton. This roster is still Falvey's doing. Somewhere he's sitting on his couch, sipping a drink, thinking he's always the smartest guy in the room and that he can always build a bullpen. The disjointed roster is on him. The lack of player development is on him. Thanks Falvey. There is no fixing the bullpen...they don't have enough options in the minors and they clearly have no interest in trading for anyone. "Hunt the good". Buxton. Today was a great day....I mean, you started Connor Prielipp against Dylan Cease and had the lead into the 8th. That's about it for today.
  23. HerbieFan
    Why hasn't he just been put on IR?
  24. HerbieFan
    I can't wait to watch Marek Houston play SS for the Twins. That kid is SLICK in the field. If he can hit at all, all the better.
  25. HerbieFan
    No, Sam. The clear answer is NO.
