    I mean, it looks like an AAA lineup, but at least Austin is hitting 5th and with Forscythe hitting well he’s not a terrible 3rd hitter.

    Alright, fine, that did happen last year. And they were promptly crushed in the playoffs. That wasn't going to happen this year. This team clearly isn't ready to compete for anything. I know in hindsight it's frustrating that they didn't go for it, but the 2017 squad didn't have the foresight to see the 2018 being a massive disappointment. The FO did what they had to do at the 2018 deadline even if they may have done the wrong thing at the 2017 deadline.

    Can we get Wade up as the 4th OF now that he's healthy? Perhaps the Twins can DFA Field and slip him off the 40 man roster but keep him in the system, because I certainly don't want him on the 40 man over the offseason.

    We don't get to see post-hype prospects very often, so it'll be interesting to see how Stewart does. His minor league stats haven't been so great and I don't think he necessarily deserved the promotion to AAA, but they might as well give the guy a chance. I heard LEN3 say a few weeks ago on the radio that the Twins were working with Gonsalves [this season] to try and strengthen his secondary pitches since his fastball doesn't go much past 90. It sounded like the FO wasn't that interested in his overall stats but rather if his secondary pitches was getting guys out. I wonder if this development is why he's taking longer to reach the majors - if so, then I'm fine with it.

    Against a very bad Detroit offense...

    Remember that offseason topic about trading Santana? Too bad that never happened.
  7. Danchat
    I think Santana could use a good 6 months off from baseball until he throws again. Maybe he'll get his MPH back on that fastball, or at least some of it.
  8. Danchat
    He should be able to come back in 10 days with no rehab, I’m thinking.

    Duffey is getting called back up to take Rodney's spot. It's possible it's going to be Tyler's last hurrah on the roster unless he looks better this time around.
  10. Danchat
    The problem is that nobody's going to trade for Santana when he's struggling to throw 90 and is rather ineffective. Maybe you could flip him as a long reliever, but I have a feeling they might need to shut him down on the DL for the rest of the year.
  11. Danchat
    Huh... I thought they'd hold on to him and use his option, but I'm fine that they'd didn't. I'm interested to see who'll get the opportunity to close games... Hildy and Reed would probably be the top options but I don't think they should at the moment. Let's get an arm from AAA and figure things out from there.
  12. Danchat
    Yeah, I think they'd be much better off with Kepler in CF and Cave in RF. I think Cave would be a perfectly fine defender in LF or RF.
  13. Danchat
    My diagnosis is that Hildy caught Belisleitis. I think they can put him on the DL for that, however.
  14. Danchat
    Oh, a good game for Gordon. More please! I wonder if there's enough time for Rooker to try out AAA? And maybe we can get Austin up here before September? That'd be nice.
  15. Danchat
    Twins' relievers this season seem to have incredible runs of dominance (April for Reed, Pressly, May-July for Hildy, Rodney?) and then completely fall apart and look awful for a stretch of time (Pressly's May, Reed's June, Rodney's April, Hildy April and now). Unfortunately, we have a manager who is incapable of figuring out who is cold and when. Speaking of Reed, why wasn't he pitching in a close game? He'd be a better option than Hildy for the third straight day.
  16. Danchat
    I think Sano's going to be OK. He's got a track record of being a good MLB hitter, but injuries, weight problems, and pitch recognition got him down, but at the moment he seems to be getting through it. Buxton on the other hand... he's got about 1000 PAs in the majors indicating he's not a good hitter. Maybe we'll see Sano become a very good player and Buxton be a bust?
  17. Danchat
    He was struggling big time in AAA as a starter... I always liked him as a starter more, but signs were on the wall that he wasn't going to do very well as a starter this season.
  18. Danchat
    What happened to Hildenberger?
  19. Danchat
    Holy cow! Rosario's 4 for 4 with 2 doubles and 2 singles!
  20. Danchat
    Hopefully Romero, he's been dealing. The problem for me is that Romero has legitimate stuff to be a #2 starter while Gonsalves is limited (tops out at 91, I've heard)... but he does deserve a shot. He's on the DL, so we won't see him soon.
  21. Danchat
    Mejia's hurt. They took him out of the game. He was wincing as he was pitching the 5th inning... major bummer he couldn't go any further, but you can't push him when he's hurting like that.
  22. Danchat
    Yeah, he's bumped up his average by about 20 points, but it's basically all been singles. I guess we'll take it...
  23. Danchat
    He hasn't given up a run in his last 14.1 innings pitched. He's doing pretty darn well.
  24. Danchat
    I am incredibly impressed with Mejia so far - 4 one hit innings. I'd pencil him into the 2019 rotation... he looks ready to solidify his role as a major leaguer.
  25. Danchat
    I think the lineup could be highly improved if Molly swapped Morrison and Garver in the lineup. Or maybe Cave. I can't understand why the two rookies have to bat at the bottom of the order when they're the best bats outside Rosario and Polanco.
