    Lately, in the last 5 games, 3B Trevor Plouffe has gone 1 for his last 20 ABs. I'm starting to get concerned about his injury. I remember him saying something along the lines of "It's an injury that won't go away until the offseason, but I'll just have to tough it out through the rest of the season." The question is, what should the Twins do about Plouffe? Have him keep swinging until he finds a rhythm? Put him on the DL? Or should they consider shutting him down for the season? One last question to ask is, who should play 3B if Plouffe is going to miss extended time?

    Tosoni won't be in the majors with the Twins ever again. He'll become a AAA starting OF for the rest of his career, and at the best, he may get to be a backup in the majors. He's the future Matt Carson.

    Maybe the Twins thought Capps was good only because that song was playing, so then they traded for him. I'm sure the Twins will find a way to screw this situation up. At least we're getting one heck of a good year out of him.

    But in that same game in another at bat he hit a double and scored a run. I'll say non-tendered. He can make a major league team elsewhere, like Punto landing in Boston.

    No. I think the Nationals or Dodgers will beat the Giants. And it is odd how many teams passed on Mijares. But still, he's had his best season out of Minnesota, as many former Twins always seem to do, which makes me suspect something is up.

    I think the Twins can still be a fun team to watch. We watch to see which players struggle and which players excel and we make the best team we have. At the beginning of the season, we saw the Twins "try out" many players, and we saw Valencia, Burroughs, Marquis, Maloney, Thomas, and Komatsu struggle and DFA'd or sent down. We've seen Plouffe, Revere, Burnett, and Burton make some positive impacts too. Many things have gone right since last year, and we're just a starting rotation (ableit that's a huge task) away from being competitive (for the division). It's good to be positive, you just have to be realistic too.

    So we are basically getting a replacement for Alexi Casilla next season?Great, now Duensing or Swarzak (when healthy) will be made into starters at this rate with another young bullpen guy. Hopefully Jeff Gray gets DFA.

    It's next to offical, Valencia wasn't in the lineup in Rochester and likely coming back. Who else do you want playing 3rd base? Casilla? Want to call up Nishi? Might as well give Valencia a chance, and we can send him back if/when he sputters.
