    Well yeah, Perkins has been perfect in save opportunities, so of course they don't have many blown saves. If we didn't have Perkins in the bullpen... yikes. It'd be by far the worst bullpen in baseball.

    This move for May is only a short-term thing. Let's hope he can help the bullpen, and if an injury happens, he can easily move back to starter. I am a bit ticked off, though. May has the best FIP out of all of our starters...

    Maybe they're going to add Taylor Rogers and use him as a bullpen pitcher? I kind of doubt this, but we could really use some bullpen help. Other than that... Fryer, perhaps? I don't see any other obvious candidates.

    So... does this confirm a 6-man rotation? Or is a starter [eventually] heading to the bullpen?
  5. Danchat
    Pelfrey currently has a 3.81 ERA., which is third best behind Milone and Gibson.

    Rosario hits a double, Sano hits him in with a single. I could get used to this...

    Since the name of the topic is what it is, I believe this is appropiate: http://i.imgur.com/wJ3Ezda.jpg Oh, no! It's like a bad Disney sequel!

    For all the talk about Molitor being a base-stealing mastermind, the Twins have been very poor at stealing bases. Why is Hunter running there? Also, Gibson has been fantastic. Maybe he should be in the All-Star game... he's got a good enough ERA for it.

    Let it Sano, let it Sano, let it Sano! It's Christmas in July!

    I'm still expecting the Twins to put Robinson on the 15 day DL and send Hicks back up. If Robinson is healthy, then send down Santana for Hicks. Santana needs to spend more time hitting in AAA.
  11. Danchat
    I'm starting to think that the move is: Demote Vargas, call up Sano. Put Robinson on 15 day DL and activate Hicks. However, if Sano is headed to 3B at AAA after Wheeler's departure, then who takes DH? Perhaps Kepler or Walker get called up (if Walker, then Nolasco goes to the 60 day DL to make room on the 40 man). EDIT: It's been confirmed by several tweets. Sano is coming up.
  12. Danchat
    Maybe I'm missing something, but why AA? He was raking in AAA earlier this earlier. EDIT: Apparently, Sano is not in the lineup for AA Chattanooga. I think he's coming up!!
  13. Danchat
    Shane Robinson hurt his elbow? Well, I betcha he goes straight onto the 15 day DL and then we activate Hicks.
  14. Danchat
    According to one sportswriter, it's a conspiracy. Me? I just think it's a quirk.

    At this point, I would move Pelfrey to the bullpen. I think he could be a very strong asset in the bullpen - we never got to see him pitch there earlier, but I think he'll be an improvement over almost everyone there.
  16. Danchat
    Wow! DOZIER!!!!
  17. Danchat
    The Twins are hitting, for once. Too bad it's in the one game where we're getting blown out.
  18. Danchat
    16.88

    Who was that one user who suggested (in another topic) that we should install Meyer as our 8th inning pitcher? I'd like to have a word with him.
  20. Danchat
    My goodness... Hamilton is a beast. Can Buxton steal bases like that?
  21. Danchat
    After May's mishap, it's Pelfrey's turn to pitch himself out of the rotation.
  22. Danchat
    I would activate Hicks pretty soon. Ease him back into CF and keep giving Rosario some chances to play CF. And please, get Eduardo out of LF!
  23. Danchat
    Here's the thing: if the Twins are going to contend now, getting more starting pitching is not the way to go. Gibson and Pelfrey have been great. Gibson is in his second full season and could become even better. May and Milone are playing well. In his first full season, May could take another big step in 2016 just like Gibson has in 2015. Hughes is rebounding and hopefully will return to his 2014 form. Nolasco is probably done for the season. Right now we're also trying to fit Santana into the rotation somewhere. That's 6 guys who are good enough to be in this rotation. Why make it 7? We don't need a Samardzija or Buchholz. Injuries might strike the starting rotation, and if they do, then I would consider a trade. But for now, no thank you. Let's focus on the bullpen and the offense.
  24. Danchat
    I don't agree with trading for a SS. I think Santana or Polanco will step up and take hold eventuallyl I do agree with upgrading the C position. We have a below-average veteran with few prospects on the horizon. And, of course, fix that bullpen. Please.
  25. Danchat
    It's nice to see Rosario in CF - Terry Ryan mentioned on an interview last week that Rosario profiles as a CF, not a corner outfielder - so it'll be interesting to see where Rosario ends up sticking. Also, why does Escobar have to keep playing in LF? I wonder how the defensive metrics rate him there...
