    I was actually thinking Arcia for Santana earlier today. This should happen sooner than later. Also, May needs to get into the rotation again. I don't see the Twins giving him high-leverage situations this season, so put him back where he's useful.

    Plouffe... what the heck? A bunt? If you were bunting through the shift, I'd understand, but you hit it right to the pitcher!
  3. Danchat
    Wasn't this the strategy for the Padres this past offseason? That sure didn't work out for them.
  4. Danchat
    Yes! Sano is back in the lineup! We have a chance of scoring runs!
  5. Danchat
    This is a good comparison. I'm not even listening to trades on this website anymore.

    I'm not worried about Escobar yet. He just had a bad day. I think he'll rebound. Boyer needs to go, and Fien will probably follow him. We need to find some bullpen arms to replace them.
  7. Danchat
    I think it's time for Boyer to go. We need some better arms in the bullpen. Also, I was thinking about writing up a response about Escobar being defensively superior... well, now I don't have to write that response anymore!

    Maybe it's just me, but the Angels lineup doesn't look very good, especially when they're missing Trout.

    Oh, I want a Sano shirt! Twins Wins: 37.5 Under Mauer's OPS: .815 Under Dozier HRs: 14.5 Under Sano HRs: 9.5 Under Hicks: .350 OBP Over Sano OPS: .900 Under Hunter HR: 8.5 Over Perkins Saves: 22.5 Under Gibson ERA: 3.25 Over Santana ERA: 3.50 Over Hughes ERA: 3.75 Over Arcia PA: 150 Under Buxton PA: 150 Under Trevor May Starts: 5.5 Under Mike Pelfrey Starts: 5.5 Over Alex Meyer IP: 6.5 Over Jose Berrios IP: 15.5 Under Kurt Suzuki OPS: .600 Under RP acquired via free agency and trade: 1.5 Under Catchers acquired via trade: 0.5 Over Trevor Plouffe OPS: .775 Over Brian Duensing ERA: 3.80 Over Blaine Boyer ERA: 3.80 Under Casey Fien ERA: 3.80 Under

    I'm going to echo many others here, but why not Escobar? He's the best offensive and defensive combination currently on the team. I would be OK if they gave Polanco a shot to win it in July-August. I'd like to see if Polanco could work defensively, and his bat would be a huge improvement too. If the Twins make the playoffs, Santana can't be the starting SS. He needs to work on his swing at AAA.

    2015 Fien appears to be headed in the 2014 Burton direction. Uh-oh. I'm not sure what the plan for May is, but they don't appear to trust him in a high-leverage situation. Perhaps it's because he's a rookie or because he just entered the bullpen? Maybe they're just waiting for a starting pitcher to fade or get hurt and slide May right back in. Still, it's a waste of a bullpen spot if this is the case.
  12. Danchat
    FYI, the Twins are back to a 7 man bullpen. This happened when Pressly went on the DL.
  13. Danchat
    Offer him Tommy Milone and throw in Brian Duensing. I mean, come on, they traded for Sam Fuld after they let him go for nothing, so now maybe they'll take back Milone! In all seriousness, though, Vogt is gonna be too expensive for my liking.
  14. Danchat
    Dozier is still proving he should have been voted in. He's making a name for himself now and this'll be the first of many All-Star appearances for him. Also, I think it's time I got a new Twins jersey. I'm going with Dozier, if I do.
  15. Danchat
    I still can't believe several people here think Mauer can still catch. That phase of his career is over, and there's no way he will be going back there.
  16. Danchat
    I really hope this doesn't mess up May's future as a starter. I know it probably won't, but still... I am a bit worried.
  17. Danchat
    Now the Twins are going to blow a 6-0 lead in the 9th.
  18. Danchat
    Even though the Twins are killing the baseball right now, I'm concerned with our sloppy baserunning. Both Sano and Hicks have been caught going from 2nd to 3rd so far.
  19. Danchat
    And the Twins pick up where they left off last night and it's 3-0 after 5 straight hits! Suzuki and Santana are hitting, too!
  20. Danchat
    I think it's more of a "the batters only show up when Milone/Nolasco pitch" thing more than it's a Milone/Nolasco thing. OK, Milone has pitched well, but Nolasco just get a ton of run support in May.
  21. Danchat
    Absolutely, in my mind. Other candidates would be Miggy, JD Martinez, Trout, and maybe Donaldson.
  22. Danchat
    Who even cares about the All-Star Game? Dozier is amazing! He doesn't need no special game to show how good he is!
  23. Danchat
    Everyone can stop complaining now because Trevor May is finally pitching!
  24. Danchat
    I don't understand it, but Molitor doesn't seem to want to use May in a high leverage situation. They also told May "not to look too closely at his move to the bullpen". I think May is back in the rotation after the All-Star break, so that's why they aren't using him in high leverage situations.
  25. Danchat
    Apparently May is a long reliever/blowout guy out of the bullpen now. The reason why he's there is because there's no room in the rotation, not because he's actually going to help the bullpen. And I think a Pelfrey/May swap would be a very good idea....
