    Ah, so this is why having a talented defense RF is a good idea.
  2. Danchat
    I think this is gonna be the 2016 Twins Mantra.
  3. Danchat
    He actually isn't gone, which makes things even more frustrating. For some reason, keeping Fien is more important than retaining O'Rourke (would make a good LOOGY) and Graham (at least has a little potential). Instead, they're sticking with their mistake. Fien is just on waivers, but nobody in their right mind is going to claim him. Berardino thinks it's in preparation to DFA him, but that hasn't happened yet.

    Oh... so I've been doing some looking around the Internet, and it seems Milone and Fien were placed on waivers but not DFA'd. Berardino suspected they would be DFA'd, but it actually hasn't happened. So O'Rourke and Graham's roster spots are now occupied by Centeno and Mastro, and Milone/Fien are still with the team. Can I get some confirmation here?

    I'm trying to figure out the Twins' roster moves.... here's what I got. -DFA'd Milone Fien O'Rourke Graham -Optioned Murphy -Called Up Centeno Mastro -Activated E. Santana The Twins have 2 open roster spots and just 5 guys in the bullpen (Jepsen, May, Abad, Pressly, Tonkin). This also leaves 2 open 40 man roster spots. Also, why did the Twins carry JR Graham for all of last season just to cut him now? I know he wasn't playing very well, but I thought they'd let him struggle in AAA a little longer. Also, I don't think O'Rourke got a fair shake. Molitor doesn't know how to use him as a LOOGY.

    So right now the Twins have sent down Milone and Fien while calling up Centeno and Mastro. I'm still expecting JR Murphy to go down for a reliever, but I haven't seen any news on it. I think a 6 man bullpen is a bit small for this team.
  7. Danchat
    Rosario going down makes sense, but Murphy needs to go down. There's no reason to keep 3 catchers. This is what I'm thinking: Down Fien Milone Murphy Up Centeno Mastroianni Chargois If Rosario also goes down, then who comes up? Another reliever? Edit: Also, I just wanted to mention that Mastro is hitting .208/.330/.247 in AAA. Ugh.
  8. Danchat
    Looks like Centeno and Mastro will be taking the 40 man spots. I'm guessing Murphy goes down and then a reliever comes back up... hopefully Chargois, but it could be Rogers.
  9. Danchat
    Interesting. I didn't thing they'd give up on Milone so fast, but saying goodbye to Fien is a step in the right direction. That's $6.775M down the drain, or 6.4% of the Twins' payroll. TR should have devoted that money to a better reliever instead of paying these two...
  10. Danchat
    I wonder if Gibson will be healthy soon. I also wonder what the corresponding move would be (Duffey goes down?).
  11. Danchat
    Yeah, Tonkin's results have been mixed in my mind. He's had some good innings and some poor ones. You can't just look at ERA to determine how a reliever is doing. I think Tonkin's spot is still safe, though. Fien should be first to go.
  12. Danchat
    Altuve for MVP!
  13. Danchat
    Oh goody, here's JR Murphy with the bases loaded. Our .079 batter with the bases loaded...
  14. Danchat
    I do wonder how much rope Fien will get before he gets DFA'd. It's probably much longer than it should be...
  15. Danchat
    You know things are going wrong when Casey Fien is pitching in the 3rd inning. Or any other bullpen pitcher. But it looks like we might be seeing JR Graham today...
  16. Danchat
    Good to see Danny Santana stealing some bases lately. It seems like he's the only one who knows how to consistently steal on this team.
  17. Danchat
    Jose Altuve is really good. A lot better than I remember... I mean, he's got 8 HRs!
  18. Danchat
    I decided to check on the game at a poor time, didn't I?
  19. Danchat
    In 2 starts. This is even smaller than a SSS. Your other points are still true. I don't get why Meyer is getting jerked around.
  20. Danchat
    JR Graham? Why do we need [to continue having] an 8 man bullpen at this point in the season? This basically confirms Ervin Santana will be activated on Sunday and start, probably with Graham going back now. Just checked. Graham has a 10.80 ERA in Rochester with a 7.6 BB/9. He's not ready for the majors... at least not as ready as Meyer. Finally, the Twins need to decide what to do with Meyer. If he's gonna be a starter, then give him starts in AAA and let him back up when he's ready to face major league pitching. If he's going to be a reliever, then let him throw a few late innings in AAA and send him back up. Pick one, please.
  21. Danchat
    As always, Park waits until the bases are empty to hit a HR.
  22. Danchat
    Did Sano just get caught trying to extend another hit?
  23. Danchat
    Milone just pitched a 3 run inning... so he should be pulled, right? Ugh. I feel like this game is dragging on... it's only the end of the 4th inning....
  24. Danchat
    You guys went from praising Meyer in the first few pages to tearing him apart... I think this is too early to pull him because he had just gotten the last two outs. Is he hurt? I think Santana will be replacing Meyer in the rotation when he's back. I heard he'll be back on Sunday.
  25. Danchat
    This sentence feels like it should be about a ballpark in a video game, not in real life.
