    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.
  2. Danchat
    Schafer and Stauffer should be DFA'd. I'd give Duensing a few more tries and see if he can gets things together, perhaps similar to how Boyer has rebounded.
  3. Danchat
    Schafer was hurt? OK...
  4. Danchat
    I like this signing. Wheeler is only 26 and he's hit .309/.352/.468 in AAA. He's not great defensively, but I could definitely see him making a positive impact. He'd be a lot nicer to have than Doug Bernier on the major league team, minus the versatility. And he gets to play with his younger brother, too!
  5. Danchat
    I'd throw in Brian Duensing.

    J. R. Graham is getting annihilated. I guess it's a good thing this is happening in a game that's already lost instead of a close one...
  7. Danchat
    Maybe I should have done today's game thread... y'know, because whenever I start trashing Pelfrey, he starts pitching well.
  8. Danchat
    I'm pretty sure Rosario will be going down to AAA when Arcia comes back. He needs more time to play CF in AAA and Hicks isn't there to block him anymore.
  9. Danchat
    There's a reason why wins and losses are the worst way to measure a pitcher's talent.
  10. Danchat
    Reminds me of a couple of guys named David Ortiz and Carlos Gomez. We need to develop Arcia and be patient, and he will keep hitting eventually. Unless we get a great trade offer for him, I keep Oswaldo. Also, with the DH position getting clogged up, it's probably time to consider trading Josmil Pinto. The Twins aren't interested at him being on the major league roster and there's got to be a few MLB teams who would want a young and talented bat.
  11. Danchat
    Going with Ryan Pressly in the 10th inning was a bit of an odd choice. I think Glen Perkins or Aaron Thompson would be a better option.
  12. Danchat
    It's a 3 to 7 day list.
  13. Danchat
    Giving up on Arcia would be like giving up on David Ortiz or Carlos Gomez. Give him more time and he will mature and start hitting more consistently. He's not going to be a good defender, but his bat is going to be borderline elite eventually. Let's not trade him and have another team unearth his true potential.
  14. Danchat
    Shane Robinson has been placed on the family emergency list. He'll be gone 3-7 games. Once he's ready for his return, I expect Schafer to get DFA'd.
  15. Danchat
    Knowing the Twins, it'll be Schafer to the DL, citing one of his recent injuries. I still like Schafer as a 4th OF, but we already have one in Robinson. Anyways, it's do or die time for Aaron Hicks. Let's hope this month in AAA was not a mirage.
  16. Danchat
    I kinda thought it would be higher. Joe Mauer may have no power but he's batting well, especially in clutch situations. He also draws a ton of walks.
  17. Danchat
    For what it's worth, Joe Mauer's current WAR on Baseball Reference is 0.0. I'd take that stat with a grain of salt, though.
  18. Danchat
    Let's remember that the Colorado Rockies were in first place around 8 days ago, then they lost 7 in a row and are now in the cellar. The Twins had a really bad run in the first week. They've had a fantastic last 2 weeks. Teams are going to fluctuate over the course of the season. I don't see the Twins being able to sustain their current level of play, but I think now that we've seen them play so well, I think going .500 isn't out of the question anymore. The Twins are going to have another slump. They just have to make sure it isn't quite as bad as the first one.
  19. Danchat
    There is absolutely no way I would do this. Yes, it'd be nice to get a good catcher, but I don't want Braun or his mega-deal. Also, why give away a young starting pitcher in Trevor May who's getting close to being a reliable starter?
  20. Danchat
    I'm sorry if I have to say it again, but why the heck is Blaine Boyer our setup pitcher?! Is he the best guy behind Fien?
  21. Danchat
    He's pretty lucky he got 13 runs of run support. Phil Hughes is wishing he got a little of that in his first few starts. I am concerned with Gibson's lack of strikeouts... our rotation is playing better than it really is right now.
  22. Danchat
    Ryan Pressly has been more reliable than Stauffer and Boyer thus far. Our young guys in the bullpen are looking pretty good.
  23. Danchat
    WOW!!! Eddie Rosario is amazing!!!
  24. Danchat
    Yeah, that's right, Polanco's clock did start last season, so I really hope to see him again sometime in 2015. That makes a lot more sense than Bernier or Beresford.
  25. Danchat
    For the third straight season, Doug Bernier will be coming north. This time, it's much earlier than the past years. His 40 man roster spot was open because Ervin Santana's spot is inactive due to his suspension. I would have liked to see a much younger guy like James Beresford (who's batting .345 in AAA). However, it's likely Bernier's stay will be a short one that will be as long as Nunez's injury. Any thoughts?
