I am sure plate appearance is what gets Buxton the money he wants. He's going to continue to be the DH batting top of the order so that he could get the maximum money.
Ideally it should be Lewis or Kirilloff. I would go with Solano / Wallner / Kirilloff as of now. Correa and Buxton have no business hitting 3rd. Buxton should bat 5th and Correa should bat 6th or 7th.
Gallo needs to be let go. Buxton should get back in CF. Miranda should be sent back to AAA. Julien should be the standard DH. Correa should bat 6th or 7th. Wallner and Larnach should stay in the major. Jeffers should start in most of the games. Get Polanco as healthy as possible and let him play. If Kepler refuses to play CF, trade him and promote Chris Williams so that Vazquez could play less. This would solve some of the problem internally.
I really don't understand why this FO refused to invest in a solid bullpen. Instead they spent all the money on one single player Carlos Correa. How much impact can one single player make? I am not even talking about Correa's struggles. They would have let Pagan go if they used Correa's money to sign a few good ones.
A lineup of Arraez (1B), Martin (LF), Buxton (CF), Lewis (SS), Julien (2B), Miranda (3B), Kirilloff (RF), Lee (DH) would be really impressive if they are all healthy and reach their potential . Now if they can get a good catcher...
Pagan, Lopez and Megill are all bad, all three cannot be trusted in high leverage situation. I have more faith in Fulmer though, I hope they would bring him back next season.
I think it cost the Twins too much prospect capital for what they got. I really think CES is going to be a star in the future and he should have been kept. Just look what the Yankees got. I would give it a B- or C.
