    Yeah, I'd already keep Ober in the rotation for Shoemaker in a heartbeat. Let the rookies take their lumps in a season that is lost, and see what role they might be able to play in 2022.

    Canterino to the IL with elbow problems is quite forboding... Good to see Balazovic back in action, though I do hope they are patient with him. This is his first experience in the high minors, so I find it unlikely he's going to be ready for MLB competition this year. I wouldn't rule out a September promotion for him, however. He needs to get more innings under his belt.

    He has some value, just not a ton. Tampa and Toronto make a ton of sense as buyers. It appears Tampa will be on board acquiring Cruz, perhaps if we eat a bit of his salary.

    Jax was here in case today's start went short, as we went through several guys in yesterday's catastrophe. He should fill the long reliever role, and could start some games down the road. If he's going to have a role in the majors, it's probably going to be as a long reliever IMO.

    Bad teams will luck into wins from time to time. This was one of those occasions for the Twins.
  6. Danchat
    I think the Twins' defense is so bad, Dyson thought he could take advantage when he really couldn't. That's some sort of reverse psychology there!
  7. Danchat
    I'd certainly have Rogers start the 9th, Robles will start it with a walk if he gets the chance.

    Get out the DFA machine, prepare for the fire sale. This team has been dead in the water for weeks. The number of embarrassing games continues to mount... reminds me of the 2016 Twins and 2010 Vikings. Here's hoping the front office is learning lessons from this horrid season.

    I would consider the deal if the prospect weren't coming off thoracic surgery, which doesn't have a great track record for recovery in baseball. Give me a #6 prospect who's healthy for Donaldson as a starting point, and then we'll talk.

    Just turned the game on... at this point, it's just funny. Something new will go wrong every game, and if you have the right perspective, you can have a pretty good time! How is it possible, in a season where pitchers are dominating hitters, that practically every new pitching addition has gone up in flames? Is Wes and the other pitching coaches doing anything? What the heck is wrong with everyone?!

    With the minor league season starting a month late and most starters going 5/6 innings and in the 80 pitch range, I doubt there will be many/any innings limits in September. As for the bullpen, I wonder if we could see Yennier Cano and Jovani Moran get chances late in the season.
  13. Danchat
    They offered a 3rd and 4th to move up from 14 to 8. Carolina asked for a 2022 1st (can't tell if it was addition to the 3rd and 4th picks), and the Vikings said no.
  14. Danchat
    The fact that the article only points 4 players should be a sign that this is a bad team, and the article isn't pushing any ideas that are "obscuring" anything. Individual players can have good seasons even when their team as a whole is playing like crap.

    Here's an obscure one - former Twins prospect Kai-Wei Teng was suspended for using foreign substances when pitching in A+ for the Giants. Teng was acquired in the Dyson trade.
  16. Danchat
    I'm speechless. How can you make two errors in the span of a few seconds? Simply abysmal.
  17. Danchat
    Robles getting his usual lead-off walk out of his system, I see. These new strategies Wes is coming up with are sure strange!
  18. Danchat
    Who the heck is going to trade for Happ at the deadline? With pitching on the rise in 2021, Happ is quite far below replacement level.
  19. Danchat
    Man, I didn't like the Happ signing, but I didn't think he'd be this bad. Could have done a lot better with that $8M burnt on him...
  20. Danchat
    Well... at least Jeffers is hitting, with 4 hits in these 2 starts. It would be nice to see his career get back on track this summer.
  21. Danchat
    Thielbar to 10 day IL, Shaun Anderson activated off the IL. Anderson looked bad the first time around, so you’d think this’ll be his last chance to right the ship.
  22. Danchat
    I’d rather see Barnes start than Shoemaker, even if his potential isn’t very high. Thorpe continues to teeter, could be a DFA candidate if he keeps spiraling downward.
  23. Danchat
    I hope we start seeing some relievers DFA'd and start giving other arms in our system a chance. Getting sick of watching the same guys getting shelled like this.
  24. Danchat
    Exactly two weeks ago.
  25. Danchat
    Good question, the answer appears to be yes, as he's had 61 steals from his 2016-2019 seasons. He did have a more modest 14/22 SB attempt rate in 2019, however.
