If Pressly is healthy, he should be there. Meyer has been struggling in AAA. Achter should be a better choice. Graham deserves to be there as well. Oh, please, NO Danny Santana! Kepler, Vargas, Polanco and even Robinson are all better options.
Yes you are correct. They are different people. They could be better or worse. It would show the fans that the Twins are at least trying to improve by doing the best they can internally.
Well unfortunately Pelfrey just wants to be a starter. I think May should stay in the bullpen because he could strike people out. Achter, Rogers and Duffey should all be brought up to take Fien, Boyer and Duensing's place.
I am really not sure if the Twins could make the playoff this year. The more games they play in the second half, the less likely it seems. Getting blown out more and more often. The Twins simply have no pitching and consistent hitting to dance with the wolves.
The starting pitching has not been good after the all-star break. If the starting pitching falters, Twins absolutely has no chance of making post season. might as well look into the future.
The Athletics is not considered a tough team this season. The pitcher for the Angels last night is NOT one of the best by any means. Look at his ERA, you could tell he had been hit hard quite a few times this season. Yet the Twins made him look like Cy Young.
It all started from the BLOWPEN. They need to fix the bullpen asap. Bullpen coach is not doing his job right all season. No reliable bullpen arms other than Perkins. Boyer and Fien need to be let go asap.
Any trade talk would have to include Boyer and Fien. I would like to see them gone, LONG GONE. Both have been ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. I don't know how many inherited runners scored when Boyer stepped in. Both Boyer and Fien should not be allowed to pitch in a close game.
Well, quite opposite, I don't trust May at all. I feel he is going to be a high ERA starter or reliever. Gibson does not throw hard, but he really knows how to pitch.
It would be silly to give up the future for one player. I don't care who it is. Good pitching always beats good hitting. It would be wise to save as much pitching as you can. I would not give up Berrios and Kepler. They are both considered as part of the future.
If the bullpen are struggling as a group, the blame should go to the bullpen coach. Twins should have kept the bullpen coach because the bullpen had been consistently good despite consective 90-loss seasons. Current bullpen coach is not doing his job right.
I think May is not our 2nd best starter. I don't believe Tonkin and a healthy Oliveros are better than Achter and Pressly. I am not sure if they are better than Fien and Boyer. Duffey and Berrios are still starters now.
