    And there's Plouffe with the clutch double play ground out.

    You're right, I remember calling for the Twins to promote Meyer during 2014. He was pitching well and that's what was creating some excitement [even here at Twins Daily]. But then 2015 happened and the excitement disappeared.

    Hooray, it's Pat Dean! Serving up a HR to Morales. I guess the Twins have finally embraced how bad they are. Even though the last 2 months looked pretty good.
  4. Danchat
    Pat Dean? You mean the guy who's struggling (5.56 ERA) against AAA batters? They couldn't have called up somebody like Pat Light or add some to the 40 man roster? Great, now we have Dean and Albers in the bullpen. Who woulda thunk?

    The Twins CAN be good next season. Whether the GM improves this team over the offseason and the development of our young guys will decide whether this will be a good team or a terrible one in 2017. The team's ceiling is high but the floor is very low.

    Way to go Polanco! Now, will Berrios be able to blow this lead?

    KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!
  8. Danchat
    I'm not concerned yet. Our other starters (Gibson, May come to mind) struggled very badly when they first came up, and it took time for them to learn. Berrios will get better.

    I think Kepler is my new favorite Twin. I kinda stopped having favorite players a while ago, but Kepler is transcending that decision.
  10. Danchat
    Could you post the source? I don't get why the Twins would want Santiago right now...
  11. Danchat
    I like the Abad trade. Getting Pat Light is a nice return. He's got a 10.5 K/9 in AAA with a 2.32 ERA. If the Twins can figure out how to get his pitches under control, then he could be a very good major league reliever. Hopefully Chargois will be going up and somebody like Duffey or Boshers will be going down. It's time to give J. T. a fair shake. Also, if Santana gets traded, it sounds like it'll be the Blue Jays. I wouldn't trade him unless I got a very good offer, so I'm interested to see what might happen.

    For 2017, I see Santana, Gibson, and hopefully Berrios in the rotation. The other two spots will have to be filled somehow - perhaps Mejia wins one, maybe the Twins remember that May was a good starter, or they trade/sign a FA. I'd like it if the Twins didn't go into 2017 with Milone or Nolasco locked into a spot.

    Another failed bunt.
  14. Danchat
    Ah, reminds me of when I dropped Glen Perkins 2 weeks into 2015. That turned out be a pretty terrible decision... until the All-Star break, of course.
  15. Danchat
    I know Escobar is healthy, he started yesterday at 3B. I would guess the Twins rotate Escobar & Polanco at SS.
  16. Danchat
    OK, I thought I saw that he wasn't on their roster, but you have to be right. So the Twins remain with 3 open spots on the 40 man roster.
  17. Danchat
    What makes you say that? He's only started 7 games in AAA in his career. If the Twins don't think Berrios is ready, then they definitely don't think Mejia is ready. Also, does anyone know if Mejia will be on the 40 man roster?
  18. Danchat
    Hmmm... yes, I like this trade. The Twins acquired a decently-talented starting pitcher in Mejia who I would estimate is a year away from making the rotation. Good stuff. I'm going to miss Nunez, with his helmet-flying off and insane 2016, but this is for the greater good. Escobar and Polanco can rotate at SS and figure out what the future for that position will be. Man, they cleared a logjam and got a decent prospect. I like it!! I'm still expecting a reliever to be traded, but this is a great start.
  19. Danchat
    The one time Buxton doesn't strikeout, he grounds into a double play.... a strikeout would have been better.
  20. Danchat
    KEPLER!!!
  21. Danchat
    Really? 3 today? Wow, maybe we'll see him up here a little sooner than September 1st, which is when I expected him to come back up.
  22. Danchat
    Interesting... I always take a cautious approach to defensive metrics, as some can differ greatly from others. I know Dozier isn't the greatest, but I don't recall him being so terrible. I'd like to see some evidence of that. Also, I find it odd that Escobar is the 5th best defensive SS in the league with all of his errors. I remain very skeptical of these...
  23. Danchat
    Pedroia had 5 hits?! Dang it, I shouldn't have left him on the bench in fantasy baseball...
  24. Danchat
    I can't believe I forgot the Grouch himself!
