    Unpopular opinion: I'm OK with Berrios staying in AAA. It's likely going to be a repeat of last year if they call him up now, so I'll trust the new management to have a plan for him. They're going to call him up when they think he's ready, not when they need him. (this doesn't justify the Wilk acquisition though)
  2. Danchat
    Wilk has thrown 663 innings in AAA. He is not a capable starter and might pass off as a mop up reliever, but we already have Haley. I don't get this move... Wilk has no upside. We have better guys in AAA (Wheeler, Hurlbut) but I guess we going full steam ahead on the 28-29 year old retreads. This move would make more sense for the 2016 Twins destined to tank for the 1st overall pick. While I'm fine that this team isn't that interested in competing right now, why not call give Jason Wheeler or even David Hurlbut a chance? I can't believe we have Tepesch, Rucinski, and Wilk taking up 40 man roster spots.

    I think they used him because there was two guys on base and they didn't want to let the White Sox to start a rally. But you are right that he probably shouldn't have been warming up... but I can't blame Molitor.
  4. Danchat
    I have to admit I completely forgot the Twins existed today, but I just remembered to tune in. It's good to see they roughed up Pelfrey.
  5. Danchat
    Yup, I tried deep dish once in downtown Chicago and I did not like it. Way too much sauce. On a completely different note, Miguel Sano will serve his one game suspension today. I guess it'll be like an off day for him.
  6. Danchat
    With Sano, Polanco, and Dozier in the infield and Vielma and Gordon on their way, I have a feeling a trade is coming in the distant future. Not soon though, it'd be wise to wait to count the eggs before they hatch. Or, you know, Sano's knee randomly explodes and he'll miss a full two seasons because of it. Also, I'm also not convinced Vielma will be able to hit well enough to start, so he could be a utility player.

    The Twins are so desperate for starters, I'm thinking they're keeping him as a starter. I do wonder if he could thrive as a reliever a la Liam Hendriks, but some here have stated that he wouldn't profile well for the bullpen.
  8. Danchat
    If you wanted to keep Butera, then DFA'ing him was the mistake, not the trade. If DanSan becomes a vastly improved player, the blame should be on the DFA decision - the trade is just a cherry on top, it's likely they didn't want to keep him anyways.

    This is so bad I'm having fun keeping track of it. The Red Sox are on their 15th batter of the inning.
  10. Danchat
    This whole bullpen outside of Duffey needs a trip to the DL.
  11. Danchat
    Suddenly I'm wishing the Twins didn't flip Fernando Abad to the Red Sox for a reliever who they quickly abandoned. Though Abad was brutal through the rest of 2016, we could use him in the pen right now.
  12. Danchat
    Man, this Red Sox lineup is really good. Our bullpen is also a complete disaster, but let's give Boston credit where they deserve. This looks like a World Series contender.
  13. Danchat
    Yes, Polanco! Here we go!!
  14. Danchat
    Here comes the rally! Even Buxton's contributing!
  15. Danchat
    I saw in today's game that Haley was activated from the DL for Tonkins spot. I am surprised to see he's already ready to pitch, so we'll have an open 40 man roster spot.
  16. Danchat
    I'm glad to see Tonkin and Santana go. Not sure who his replacement will be but at least they're through with Tonkin. Wonder if it will be one of Busenitz, Hildenberger, or Baxendale.
  17. Danchat
    If I recall correctly, Romero's one of our best starter prospects. I do not want to mess with his development right now, I'd rather let him continue to excel at what he's doing.
  18. Danchat
    The thing is, they don't have any effective relievers to call up. Chargois' hurt, so is Jay. Haley will be back soon... Boshers? There just aren't any options. I'd rather trot out guys like Busenitz, Baxendale, or Hildenberger instead of Rucinski but the chances of that working is still slim. How about we convert Gimenez to a reliever and call up Garver as the backup catcher? I am joking, of course...
  19. Danchat
    It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's Chris Gimenez to the rescue!
  20. Danchat
    It's just not a typical Tonkin outing without a home run.
  21. Danchat
    This Benintendo guy is pretty good.
  22. Danchat
    Look, I get Polanco's error really screwed things up, but the Red Sox were going to get these 7 hits either way. This is what happens when you use AAAA pitching... except it's more like AAA pitching.
  23. Danchat
    Well, we'll likely be seeing Drew Rucinski today... if anyone was interested in seeing him.
  24. Danchat
    I'm surprised Rosario's hitting the 9 spot. He's been hot the last couple of weeks.
  25. Danchat
    Yes, if you missed it, Gibson was demoted yesterday.
