  1. Rodney's stats so far in 2018: 6.2 IP, 12 hit, 2 BB, 6.75 ERA, 2 base runners per inning, 2 home runs allowed. That's not closer material. He is in danger of blowing a three run lead every time he pitches.
  2. As long as Morrison, Lynn and Rodney the closer get consistent playing time, this team is not going to win. Just too many bad apples in one basket.
  3. Can we at least end Rodney the closer experience? He could definitely take on Kinley's role now since he's gone. In fact he and Duffey can now take on Kinley and Moya's role.
  4. Dozier Mauer Sano Kepler Escobar LaMarre Rosario Adrianza or Garver (DH) Castro This is my lineup until Buxton comes back. When he comes back let LaMarre be the DH until he stops hitting.
  5. I could see them let Grossman go when Buxton is ready to be activated. Watch out Morrison you are next. To be fair, Duffey should be given a little more time.
  6. Both Morrison and Grossman look completely lost in the major league. Both should be sent down to the minor league. Braves designated outfielder Lane Adams for assignment.
  7. LaMarre should stay and Granite should be sent down. LaMarre is having a solid spring.
  8. Between Hildenberger and Rogers, one should be sent down. Kinley and Moya should stay. Hildenberger was more consistent and effective than Rogers last season.
  9. I am really confused why Twins fan should be excited about Jorge Polanco. He is only hitting .154 in the Spring training and already made 3 errors on the field. Correct me if I am wrong. I still remember Danny Santana had one very exciting year. Where is he now?
  10. I am sorry to say Gimenez is not a proven winner by any means. Gimenez cannot hit and play below average defense. (3PB in one game).Vargas is not making much and is a good power threat and I think he is coming back.
  11. The offense is good, I don't think the Twins need to add any veteran hitter next season. 1b: Mauer 2b: Dozier 3b: Sano SS: Polanco CF: Buxton LF: Rosario RF: Kepler C: Castro DH: Grossman Bench: Escobar Vargas Garver Adrianza or Granite Gimenez should not return and Goodrum is not ready. The Twins really need to address pitching during the off season, especially the bullpen. The starting pitching is legit. Santana, Berrios, Gibson, Mejia and Slegers might be fine. Bullpen candidate: Rogers, Hildenberger, Busenitz, Moya, Gee, Belisle, Hughes and some effective veterans.
  12. I think the success is really due to the offense and defense and a few brilliant starts from Berrios and Santana. Molitor is a below average manager. Bullpen is really a mess.
  13. I really hope Molitor would manage elsewhere next season. Sometimes his decision does not make any baseball sense. Pressly and Duffey should not pitch in any close game. Perkins, Boshers and Turley should not be on any major league roster. Tonkin and Curtiss can not be trusted. This bullpen is probably the worst in the league right now.
  14. Of the three, Polanco is the worst fielder and best hitter, Adrianza is the best fielder and worst hitter, Escobar should have the most pop and his fielding and speed are both adequate.
  15. Adrianza is slightly better at fielding, but he is a weak bat and has no power, he should never be in the starting lineup of any major league team. Escobar is an average fielder, he can definitely start against left-handed pitchers. Escobar over Adrianza, no doubt about it.
  16. Escobar should be at least an average fielder. He is not making as many errors as Polanco though.
  17. I don't really want the Twins to sign Belisle and Colon for next season though. Colon is too old to remain effective all season and Belisle is too inconsistent and hittable.
  18. Gee has been an issue for only two games. Duffey has been the problem for most of the season though.
  19. Buddy Boshers and Nik Turley should not be called up due to their poor performance in the big leagues.
  20. The Twins should be building around Buxton, Sano, Rosario, Polanco, Kepler, Berrios and Mejia. Get as much good pitching as possible. Get a good hitting catcher. Get a good hitting right-handed bat. I think this team is ready for the big stage now.
  21. https://www.twinkietown.com/2017/8/26/16209040/blue-jays-10-twins-9-gee-that-was-a-weird-one
  22. I don't see the need to add Dereck Rodriguez to the 40 man. He has not been impressive. Save the spot for whoever deserves it.
  23. I predicted Turley would be one of those AAAA player when he was called back up. I guess I am definitely right. Turley does not belong in the big leagues. Melville might have better stuff than Turley. Both are just AAAA players like ABW.
