    Mind your manners. There is nothing about this question that is going to be proven "factually". It will be each person's opinion which is just fine, including yours.

    I definitely think that Esco should be starting at SS as long as the Twins are in contention. He's good enough on both sides of the ball to provide adequate performance for that position. Santana probably needs to go to Rochester and get ready to be the starting shortstop in 2016 (hopefully with his higher upside). This leaves Nunez to be the utility guy and bat off the bench. Frankly, he probably should have been getting some starts at DH all along with the problems we've been having there. Not gonna happen now with Sano but that's more than fine.

    Pretty much no doubt about that. As the old farmer saying goes, Herrmann couldn't hit a pig in the ass with a spade.

    I believe Fryer is supposed to be a good defensive catcher. His challenge in the past has been with the bat. Now that he is hitting in Rochester, seems like a logical move. The reason why I would keep Pelfrey in the rotation for the short term is to boost his potential trade value, assuming that he pitches well.

    The Twins are 5 games over on July 3rd. Every move they make right now needs to be done with the idea of winning and making the playoffs. For me, this means an outfield of Hicks, Hunter and Rosario. Esco at short (Santana goes to Rochester) and May to the pen for short term. The DH should be the hottest of Sano, Arcia or Vargas with the two not selected in Rochester. I would also swap Hermann and Fryer to see if Fryer has a better chance of getting a hit now and then. Thompson down, Rogers up. If they slip out of contention, then you go full 2016 mode, essentially playing everybody you feel will need to be on the club in order to succeed in 2016. This would also include trading Pelfrey, even if it is after the waiver deadline.

    I think we should go to a 7 man rotation. They each would have an assigned day of the week and everybody would know when they need to pitch

    I don't believe he is the SS of the future. I actually think he will be shifted to second base eventually and will be a good asset to the club in some fashion. Santana has the best tools by far. He needs to spend the rest of this year in AAA and make up for the mistake that was putting him in CF last year. Escobar will be fine for the stretch run.

    Well, unless some of these vaunted prospects start stepping up, we will need a corner outfielder next year.

    Wouldn't this guarantee a 13 man pitching staff? Don't like that.

    Stick a fork in Dave, he's done.

    Well, they haven't lost yet..........

    Nunez

    Linus replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    Well, cutting him was a common comment in multiple, past threads around here. It doesn't matter I'm just saying that he's not a bad guy to have on the bench.
  14. Linus
    I would also add that, other than they involved the same two teams, the trades have little in common. Different times, different needs, different GM. Plus, I mean I hated the Ramos / Capps trade as much as anyone but I do think its more than time to move on. I mean, the Greg Nettles trade was a bad one too.

    Nunez

    Linus replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    I'm not suggesting that he is the SS of the future. What I am suggesting is that for the 25th guy on the roster, he can hit some, runs pretty well and plays multiple positions. That brings value to the team. If his fielding were better, he would be a regular position player somewhere. Right now, outside of Dozier, Hunter and maybe Rosario he's probably the person with the best chance to get a base hit.

    Nunez

    Linus replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    I've never understood the hate for this guy. He's always been a decent hitter and he is fast. His glove is not great but it's not as bad as people make it out to be.

    I'm with your fiance

    Ok. When will Milone get some credit? He's 28 and our second or third best starter and under team control. Get over that he doesn't throw 94-many guys have been successful in the big leagues without throwing hard. What I care about is if he gets guys out.
  19. Linus
    Shouldn't that make Meyer a shoo in for the Hall of Fame?
  20. Linus
    OK, I'll bite. Who would you rather have him playing instead of on the Twins right now? Isn't this what we really should be worried about?
  21. Linus
    Isn't that what everyone on TD does? How many games do any of us see a prospect play?
  22. Linus
    I'm guessing that if you are not willing to overpay, professional MLB GMs aren't going to be willing either.
  23. Linus
    Did Dick really just say that?
  24. Linus
    No jump on that hit. Really wish we could have outfielders in the outfield
  25. Linus
    I am not against a trade to help this year but only if it helps long term as well. Catcher would come to mind as well as SS.
