    I don't get why Robinson is in the #2 spot. He's a 4th outfielder and he's not hitting like he was in April.
  2. Danchat
    So, how much longer would we like to see Duensing and Stauffer on the roster? Both clearly don't belong here.
  3. Danchat
    I think we know that Eddie Escobar can hit better than his .595 OPS implies. He just has to get on a hot streak. And hey, he did hit a homer yesterday!
  4. Danchat
    May is doing much better than his ERA looks (4.45, was above 5.00 before yesterday's game). If May gets bounced out of the rotation when Ervin Santana returns, I'm going to be very ticked off. Pelfrey and Gibson's ERAs are looking really good, but May's FIP is much better.
  5. Danchat
    Nolasco is going on the DL, according to Darren Wolfson. Milone will take his spot. But the question remains: who will pitch on Saturday?
  6. Danchat
    You got one of those blasts. Just not much else.

    If Pressly is optioned, I will be mad. He's pitching very well and absolutely deserves to stay with the Twins. Stauffer is the 8th pitcher on the bullpen that clearly doesn't need 8 players and he doesn't even have a role. I'm not going to go on a rant here, but basically DFA Stauffer for Milone, please.
  8. Danchat
    Ryan Pressly has been very impressive so far. He's earned a spot in the rotation and he shouldn't be going anywhere for at least the rest of the season. Also, I liked that Stauffer lasagna reference. I just realized the similarity of that last weekend when I had some.
  9. Danchat
    We shoulda kept Chris Parmelee and had him play DH. I mean, come on, he's batting .315 in AAA (for Baltimore).
  10. Danchat
    Hicks probably should have made that catch. I betcha Hughes will pitch out of his mind and we'll still lose this game 1-0. It's too bad he just doesn't get the run support like Nolasco does. (now watch the Twins win 10-1)
  11. Danchat
    Free Stauffer's Roster Spot
  12. Danchat
    Perkins, Fien, Boyer, and Thompson is a good start. We need some young guys who can get strikeouts behind them. (Looking at you, Tonkin, Achter, and Oliveros)
  13. Danchat
    Wow, Mark Buehrle. I wasn't sure if he'd make it out of the 1st inning. And then he goes NINE!
  14. Danchat
    I was referring to what position, not what team. I think he can still hit well enough to stay in the majors, but a trip to AAA wouldn't hurt.
  15. Danchat
    Here's my hypothetical schedule: Activate Fien, DFA Stauffer. When Arcia is ready, activate him and option Eddie Rosario. When Vargas is ready to come up (probably 2 weeks or so), option Tonkin. When Schafer is ready, I'd probably just DFA him. Not sure if the Twins will do this, but he shouldn't be with the major league team. Also, as Homer Hanky points out, Jorge Polanco is ready for a promotion to the big leagues. He's a better prospect than Santana and I'd rather see him at SS now. But then where does Santana play? At least these are the good types of problems to have.

    I feel like I'm going to finally wake up from this dream and realize the Twins are in last place... I'm still in denial. I gotta see it to believe it. I'm enjoying our current success, but I don't think we'll continue at our current pace. There are so many examples of teams falling apart. The Oakland A's were the best team in baseball last summer and then fell apart. But hey, why am I being so negative? The Twins are kicking butt and let's keep doing it! A couple years ago, I thought 2015 would be the year Sano and Buxton arrived and we'd get into the playoffs. Perhaps that IS going to happen now!
  17. Danchat
    Yikes. Let's hope he can still be a starter someday. I am still frustrated that he never got promoted last season...
  18. Danchat
    Hey, at least we're not carrying 3 catchers. As Hrbowski said, I think it won't be long until we go back to a 7 man bullpen.
  19. Danchat
    So this leaves us with a 3 man bench of Herrmann, Nunez, and Robinson. I think it'd be ideal if we kept a 4-man bench, but perhaps we'll revert to that once Vargas gets back up to the majors. This means that the 8 man bullpen will probably be temporary. Stauffer and Duensing will be competing to see who'll get kicked off the roster first.
  20. Danchat
    Now that we're at the quarter pole, at least Mauer is on pace to hit 4 HRs. I'm surprised at how we don't have that many players performing at a top level but we're still getting it done. Our starting pitching is soooo much better than it was in the previous 4 years. If they can sustain the quality starts and get the bullpen into better shape, then this team might just compete.
  21. Danchat
    Apparently I was wrong about JR Graham. He got to pitch in a very important situation... I'm surprised, but impressed by the result.
  22. Danchat
    Especially after he got pummeled by the Tigers, we're only going to see him throwing in blowouts. The Twins are basically hiding him at the back of the bullpen. Very similar to what we did with Pressly two years ago, except I remember that he pitched pretty well.
  23. Danchat
    It's crazy how Milone is pitching so well... is there any way he could transition into the bullpen? This is because I think May needs to stay in the rotation. Of the 4 guys who have started the most games, May has the lowest FIP at 3.40. I'd rather see Pelfrey gone, but he's not doing too poorly. The Twins will have to make somebody unhappy with their next moves (or lack of moves).
  24. Danchat
    How does this make sense? Why do we want a bench consisting of Escobar, Nunez, Bernier, and Herrmann? That's 3 utility guys on the bench! But I suppose the team sees Escobar and Nunez as outfielders. And I thought Vargas was getting into a groove... I mean, I do think he should refine his swing in AAA, but after that 3 game benching, it seems he's done much better. Let's hope Bernier's stay does not last much longer. I'd much rather see James Beresford or Ryan Wheeler on the team just so they could hit. Actually, I'd rather see Vargas on the team. Wait...
  25. Danchat
    ESPN is notorious for coming out with "power rankings", but they're really just sorted by wins and losses with a couple of the teams are switched around.
