Having crowded room at any position is good. (like at CF last year?) Dozier and Rosario can be on the same baseball team. So can Plouffe and Sano. Anyways, if Dozier can bat .260 with 16 HRs and good defense I'm happy. I'm keeping him.
Hmmmm... for Casey Fien, sure. For Glen Perkins.... no. He's got to bring in more than that. I don't why people are talking about trading Caleb Theilbar, he's too young to trade, too much upside, plus his streak is kind of flukey....
That's a good point, we have an opening in the 40 man. At this point, I can see Albers is pitching very well in Rochester and might have earned a shot. I can't see Romero being added, he's batting .250 now. Hey, anyone think he might get claimed?
Which isn't saying much. Dozier can still bat much better. He needs to raise his .233/.314 line. Parmelee is hitting .233/.315 with one more HR. Dozier's batting needs to get much better.
Link: Minnesota Twins Rumors: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com Should the Twins listen to offers for Glen Perkins and Casey Fien? How good should the prospect be for either one? The Giants might think Fien is a cheap option, but I hope the Twins have his pricetag high.
Chief, I think the difference is that guys actually get on base before Cano gets up. Mauer never has an opportunity to hit someone in. Or at least very rare...
I wonder if he'll even play in AAA this year. Plus I can't see Gardy playing a struggling rookie over a mediocre veteran (Clete) who's playing better. He just doesn't do that.
I think it's time to put Caleb in more dire situations and rest Burton up a bit. Even if he has to go on the 15 day DL. Fien should get some 8th innings too. Burton and Diamond were our best last year... what's up with them?!
Actually releasing Carroll could be an option. He doesn't have any worth left with the team, I must admit at this point. But we have too many OFs at this point. I think Hicks needs to spend some time in AAA and come back in September.
I'm fine with most of them, I just don't know why in the world we'd send down Caleb Theilbar. He's thrown 14 perfect innings! 0.00 ERA! Clete Thomas definitely should stay on the team. .270 and 2HR is pretty good for this team... I have a feeling Hicks will be back in the majors. I'd vote Escobar to go.
The Twins have got to be the worst team with the bases loaded. We always get out without any runs. For goodness sake, bases loaded and no outs!!! Come on!! I don't understand how we've won so many games after sucking so much in the clutch.
I'm going to say for the Twins, he's done. We have many more starters ahead of him. There's just too many.... Twins Starter Depth Chart 1 Correia 2 Diamond 3 Pelfrey 4 Deduno 5 Gibson 6 Walters 7 Hernandez 8 Hendriks 9 De Vries 10 Albers And I put him over Albers solely because he's on the 40 man roster. Maybe De Vries can hook onto another team?
