    Good stuff, Andrew. It's interesting to see Kinley's at the point where his velocity could potentially start declining. It's just another reason to end the experiment.

    If an infielder gets hurt, Adrianza becomes a starter (unless it's 1B) and Petit probably gets added to the 40 man roster. If a catcher gets hurt, they'll choose between Bobby Wilson and Williams Astudillo. Polanco will be back in two months. Most teams don't have much depth at catcher. These depth issues are the least of the Twins' problems right now.

    Wow, Cobb giving up 15 runs in 2 starts is pretty bad... but yeah, the pitchforks would be out if they signed Darvish, even though he's only 4 starts in.

    I saw the White Sox called up former Twin (minor leaguer) Daniel Palka today. I was disappointing we never got to see him reach the majors, but he's not much of a prospect at this point. I guess the Twins didn't win the Chris Herrmann trade after all.
  5. Danchat
    Duffey's picking right back up where he left off in 2017. Scoreless innings in AAA don't mean much in the major leagues.
  6. Danchat
    Let's not start injuring people just because we're frustrated with our own incompetence. I hate the Yankees too but hurting them isn't going to solve any problems.

    Maybe the Twins are stuck in a loop of really bad seasons (2014, 2016, 2018?) rotating with surprisingly good seasons (2015, 2017). Nobody will have any idea what year of the "rebuild" we're in.
  8. Danchat
    I remember most people thinking the trade was fairly balanced at the time.
  9. Danchat
    Pressly = :shoot: The chances of Pressly maintaining his brilliance aren't that high, but perhaps we should give him the closer role if Rodney keeps struggling? Dave might have been right about this.
  10. Danchat
    If only our bottom 4 were like the Rays'.
  11. Danchat
    Is Sanchez a fantastic pitch framer or is this ump awful?
  12. Danchat
    They laughed at Escobar being in the #4 spot, now he's the only one who can get hits.
  13. Danchat
    It would be nice if one of the young relievers could come up and pitch well, but we're just not getting that. Hildy's struggling after he did that last year and Moya & Busenitz both had opportunities to show they belonged and couldn't do it.
  14. Danchat
    Yup, and he's getting a RBI now!!
  15. Danchat
    Nice PA there for Sano. He swung at the only pitch that came in the strike zone and took the rest and got a walk. More of that, please.
  16. Danchat
    I'm feeling like this is gonna be a game where Dozier hits a leadoff home run. Let's see it happen!
  17. Danchat
    It's good to see Kepler get a shot in the #2 slot. Finally Morrison gets moved back, too.
  18. Danchat
    Don't know if you guys saw this:

    My problem with Kinley is simple: he's a 27 year old pitcher who has yet to have a good season in AA who's taking up a roster spot. He doesn't look like a future MLB player. He's not the primary reason why the bullpen stinks and not responsible for losing any games, but there's no reason to keep him around the entire season. He'll be 28 next year and he'll still need to repeat AA. He might be 29 or 30 by the time he's "ready", already past his physical prime. He's a non-prospect at this point, so no reason to waste any more time or roster space on him.
  20. Danchat
    Kinley's value is much, much lower than Odorizzi's. He could probably be had with a no-name prospect. Palacios is a solid prospect, but he's a ways off (but now that I look at it, the Rays started him in AA. He's only had 500 PAs between High and Low A though).
  21. Danchat
    I believe he'll be gone, whether that's through DFA'ing him or DL'ing him. I would guess Duffey gets called up as the bullpen desperately needs reinforcements.
  22. Danchat
    This game? Just now?
  23. Danchat
    Losing a game like this stinks but it's going to happen... but when it comes after getting swept by a bottom dweller like the Rays (pun!), this team is starting to look like their 2016 counterparts.
  24. Danchat
    Perfect, Kinley's chances of staying on the roster are basically gone and we get to see LaMarre pitch. That's a win-win!
  25. Danchat
    I'm afraid they're going to do that with Kinley and try to keep him on the team that way.
