    Complain complain complain about Kepler hes like most major leaguers, a streak hitter. who’s complaining now? .328 since all star break, plus a couple great plays in right war is a tough stat, the ball has to be hit close enough to make a special play on, yet not too far out of reach. Not a players fault that the balls hit are not quite close enough for him to look like a superstar Kepler is a better player than all those who were bent pre trade deadline to replace him Buxton is the one who needs to go, always hurt, only a 238 career hitter

    5 game losing streak to worst teams in baseball Seattle and Kansas City all these threads on what the twins need to make the playoffs, are a joke. All it will take is for Cleveland to get back on track for about two weeks, and Twins will once again be an asterisk ( leafing at Allstate break and fading like the Titanic) this team has the parts, but can’t ever get the big hit or big strikeout

    Hold fast with the roster plenty of options when there are no injured starters but buxton does need to go on IL for remaining season

    All the negativity boys! Time to stop it. has Gray said he would not sign after this season?, not that I have heard. If he has a no1 starter year, the Correa signing says Twins FO will pay for talent

    Varland is a de cent option too, but Ober had a really nice start last time out. im just glad remainder of starting cast have all looked good so far

    Foolish to even consider paying a prospect long term, tough enough paying existing players long term. We tend to imagine once a player shows talent it will improve. One needs only look at Mauer contract to see the mistake of over paying. One great season of 30 plus homers, and then a ten year contract. Never again to hit anything close to that number again and now we’re talking giving a PROSPECT big money?

    I was at that game in august when he threw the 1hitter rod Carew hit two home runs that game we drive down from Duluth, to the old Met, to a teeming crowd. I remember driving back to Duluth that night with my two coworkers, stating this was the best game we all would ever see in person it was, at least for me

    Just hope he is not another John Castino

    Face it twins won’t pay that for either one of the shortstops. Time to bring in the young talent and build with them. It’s the every year dream of Twins fans to get some top talent, but we always over pay for old players on the downward slope

    Really!! who cares where he goes? Twins will not offer that long contract to a non homegrown player, because it is foolish to do so. Lewis will be the Ss for next 5 seasons and he will then leave via free agency wash, repeat, wash small market payroll reality

    Twins are one if the few fiscally smart teams. Not paying for long term contracts that seldom work out for any team. A rare exception was the Mauer contract. One only needs look at the last few years of that contract to see the foolishness of over a five year contract.

    What does that picture tell you about this weak lineup? a player with a gray beard ends up the hitting star of the game go figure
  31. TruthInDuluth
    This typifies the real issue of how multi year contracts for 27-30 year old stars are a real cr.. shoot. The talent does not necessarily stay at the early level or increase. Often the talent slowly melts into being only an average player at his position. How often does the player really earn his big contract in upcoming years? More often than not, he is being rewarded for his past play, not the value he brings in the new contract

    Too many holes in this years lineup to really compete in the playoffs look at our record vs yanks,astros,brewers we need catcher, two starters, and 2 relief pitchers seriously think those holes can be fixed with trades? Who would bring that value?
  33. TruthInDuluth
    All these posts about getting good relief pitchers from other teams. Realistically, who will give up quality relief pitchers? We would give up way too much in trade to pick up an average relief man. Keep the team, play for next season(like was anticipated in spring). Bring up some minor league pitchers, get their feet wet. Dump the dead weight in bullpen to the free agent list. Great core of young players reminds me of mid 80’s
