    I don't want to be Captain Hindsight, but the jump from AA to the majors is a very big one... Jorge needs some time in AAA before he's ready. I don't think Gonsalves or Romero are going to help this rotation in 2017, but neither is Colon or most other fringe veteran guys the Twins have tried.
  2. Danchat
    From Darren Wolfson Not sure about the Colon signing. He's 44 years old and coming off of a terrible string of 14 starts in the National League. Yikes...
  3. Danchat
    I'm a little disappointed it's not Garver coming up (he can play 1B), but it probably won't matter very much. Joe will be back shortly and they'll probably keep going with Sano at 1B and Escobar at 3B.
  4. Danchat
    Wow, that was quite the play by Polanco. That was Andrelton Simmons-esque. I'm very disappointed to see Busenitz go back to AAA. It should have been Pressly - he needs more time at AAA and Busenitz needs more MLB experience, but hopefully the two will switch spots before too long.
  5. Danchat
    I dunno, I always had a hard time watching Joe Nathan save games. He was always pretty good but there was just something about how he pitched...
  6. Danchat
    I'm not sure why the Twins are trusting Duffey in a high leverage situation like this, he's been really bad the last few weeks. They have other options...
  7. Danchat
    I'm just following the score on the Internet, so I just typed the number 5 without having any idea it was actually correct. I guess the blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.
  8. Danchat
    I'm pretty sure Calhoun has around 5 HRs against the Twins this year. UPDATE: I looked it up. It's actually 5 - I was right on the dot!
  9. Danchat
    Yep, and they called Busenitz back up for his spot. Not sure who will pitch in Santiago's old spot.
  10. Danchat
    Duffey's been brutal as of late. Maybe Hildenberger could take his role?
  11. Danchat
    It's good to see Mejia make it through 7 innings for once. Let's hope he can keep this up and eat some more innings that the bullpen wouldn't have to account for.
  12. Danchat
    That was a great inning, but can we quit it with the baserunning mistakes? It seems like we've had one in each of the past 5 games or so.
  13. Danchat
    Well... we did get Busenitz in that trade... yeah, he didn't do a great job. (on a side note, I still think Meyer could be a really solid reliever. But they really bungled his situation badly.)
  14. Danchat
    Correct, but he allowed 5 runs to score while he pitched those innings. Those inherited runs don't count as earned but he should still be held somewhat responsible.
  15. Danchat
    Hildenberger has some filthy stuff. I'd love to see him get some more high leverage innings.
  16. Danchat
    And it looks like Hughes is picking up where he left off when he went on the DL. Too bad he's owed another $26M. Ugh. Here's what's left of Terry Ryan's 2014 free agency splurge: Hughes, Santiago, and Busenitz. To TR's credit he did find Suzuki on a one year deal in 2014, but still, we ended up with one good season from a starter and that's it. Whoops.
  17. Danchat
    Good thing we don't owe Santiago any money after this season. Who woulda thunk we flipped Nolasco for a guy who's actually been worse so far?
  18. Danchat
    He was the 26th man, so he heads back to AA now.
  19. Danchat
    I'll give Belisle credit, he had a solid 7th. Thankfully, the Royals are handing us runs now. Plus Rosario's 5 for 5 with 5 singles. Good show!
  20. Danchat
    Belisle with another poor outing that will not negatively affect his ERA. Also, Boshers has earned his way back to low leverage situations.
  21. Danchat
    Wait, Pressly was called up for Busenitz? Ugh. I don't have time to be mad at this.
  22. Danchat
    Perhaps... his numbers in Toronto are pretty lousy, but they're small improvements from what we've gotten from Santiago and Gibson recently. I would consider the possibility as he'd have to be cheap.
  23. Danchat
    Boshers is doing a nice job undermining all the nice things I said about him in that bullpen thread.
  24. Danchat
    Nope, definitely not. We need his elite defense in CF and he's been hitting around the .230-.240 range the last month. Granite would be an improvement at the plate but not defensively.
  25. Danchat
    I'm still a bit surprised that Melotakis made it through waivers, but it's now clear that the front office was confident that he'd slip through, so it's less of a "they're giving up on him" and more of a "sneak through waivers" (which explains the AAA promotion). Basically the same thing for Park, they knew he'd likely get through waivers. Although IMO they should have rather DFA'd Breslow or Belisle for the 40 man spot but at least they didn't lose Melotakis.
