    I don't give TR praise very often, but acquiring 6 years of Escobar for 2 months of Liriano was one heck of a trade. I've always liked having him around and I hope they find a way to keep him for a couple more years. They're going to need a reliable utility infielder if they keep playing Sano at 3B.

    If you can get his late 2017 form back, I say absolutely. From July to September, batters hit .150/.198/.260 (.458 OPS) with a 9.6 K/9 and 1.4 BB/9. Though the BABIP was just .185... so there was luck involved. However, as of 2018, he hasn't looked so good. He's basically like Rodney at this point - he's old and has streaks of ineffectiveness but also can have hot streaks too. Picking him up while in a cold spell probably isn't a good idea. He'd likely be a better option than Rodney at the moment but I'd rather not take that risk.

    Yes, but it's likely Gibson was out of gas and he probably doesn't get out of that inning without bullpen help. It was (and is) a lose-lose proposition for Molitor.

    I want to criticize optioning Curtiss back to AAA already... but I don't know, all of the young arms have looked awful, so I'm not sure what can be done. With the defense being so awful, I'm not sure I can be confident with Romero's first start. Especially with Grossman somewhere in the outfield.
  5. Danchat
    I think we're at the point where the Twins will be lucky to finish the season at .500...
  6. Danchat
    Gotta love having Petit and LaMarre facing off in a do-or-die situation. It's like we're facing them with our AAA squad.
  7. Danchat
    It's funny you say that as some argue that Adrianza should be playing every day because of his defense. Someone in the Sano DL thread was saying that earlier today.
  8. Danchat
    He had 36. But he had just 1 HR in his entire Twins career that lasted 39 games... he hit .234 for us while hitting .270 for the rest of his career.
  9. Danchat
    Fun fact: Kendrys Morales has hit 19 HRs against the Twins in his career.
  10. Danchat
    Kepler is looking like a stud so far. I think we have a keeper.
  11. Danchat
    At least to AAA. I was perusing his stats, and I don't see why he's still hanging around AA.
  12. Danchat
    Petit gets a hit on his first AB as a Twin, as expected.
  13. Danchat
    Joe Joe here we go! HR number one on May 1!
  14. Danchat
    If you were wondering why Garver has been playing more often the past couple days, this is probably why.
  15. Danchat
    I'm starting to get on board the "time to find a long term 3B" bus. Sano may have a cannon for an arm, but he's a subpar defender (so say the metrics) and he can't stay healthy. Maybe they teach him to be 1B, but until then he might be destined for DH'ing. I wouldn't be surprised if the Twins traded him over the 2018-2019 offseason. Yes, I know I'm projecting very far out here, and his trade value is low at the moment, but I feel like this FO is going to move him at some point. Also, I'd like to see Nick Gordon get up here. We're down two starting infielders, and this offense can't afford to have both Adrianza and Petit in the lineups. Also, I knew that Enns was not a MLB caliber starter, but I would have liked to see him in the bullpen and see if he gained any juice throwing in the 'pen. It seems like our best relievers are usually failed starters, so I would have rather liked to see Magill DFA'd.
  16. Danchat
    I see we've returned to the 2016 defense.
  17. Danchat
    I don't think another inning for Pressly is a good idea... and then Rosario happens.
  18. Danchat
    I don't like that our options at catcher either are 1) above average defense who will be a black hole in the lineup or 2) competent hitter but poor defense.
  19. Danchat
    At least Garver is getting it done at the plate. His bat is miles past Castro at this point.
  20. Danchat
    It looks like it's time for Lynn to take a nice, long trip to the DL.
  21. Danchat
    Because he ran out of gas last year and after a few good starts, he fell apart. Unless you could see the future where Colon came roaring out of the gate and Lynn was abysmal, then there wasn't any reason to.
  22. Danchat
    Now Lynn has forgotten how to throw a strike.
  23. Danchat
    Very good, and he's coming up even earlier than I thought. Let's hope he can dominate and stick in the rotation, though unfortunately the precedent for Twins rookie starters is to pitch very poorly. Perhaps Romero, with his dominant stuff, can break the mold.
  24. Danchat
    [Potentially] Very good news:
  25. Danchat
    I was checking up on the Jays roster and how they were doing this season... their lineup and starters' stats are a bit underwhelming, but their bullpen... whoa, nelly. I know it's a crime in some states to equate ERA to talent level, but of their 7 relievers, the highest ERA was 3.48. If they make it to their bullpen with a lead, it's probably game over.
