    Classic Twins front office on Jenkins: sacrifice the present season in hopes next year will be better. That is the ultimate self-fulfilling prophecy. They are always just one year away, but no way to get there from where they are.

    Yeah, the biggest threat is always inside us. Go Twins.

    Wu Suk Go -- that's its own scouting report.

    Geez, last thing the Twins need: a human being at closer.

    The Twins have made it a fun season with timely hitting, good starting pitching, and overall grit. But, let's face it: it took them four months to build a bullpen. They don't have good team speed or athleticism. Their team defense is below average due to players being asked to defend at different positions than they have played at the MLB level. And now, maintaining the clutch hitting, HRs, and OBP -- in the middle of a playoff chase-- while the team speed and defense continues to expose them.... It's a reach. They are what they are. You can't expect Keaschall to man center or Martin to throw out guys at the plate. Now with a rookie SS, three catchers, Buxton on the IL, Ryan hurt.... add it up and it's remarkable to be even in a playoff chase.

    I guess the formula for Twins' management is to not allow young MLB players to accrue service time during a work stoppage. That or they've been so focused on pitching they haven't really thought about how to get more offense from AAA. Either way, it's a glaringly poor show: three catchers, Tristan Gray, a lot of lefty outfielders with potential, and of course, Buxton on the IL. The window is closing.

    Not sure why this article claims it to be a "fake rally". Last I checked, Keaschall tied the game in the 9th after they were down 6-0. I turned the game off in the 7th, so to me, I missed a great rally, with three home-runs. Baseball is hard, but writing about coming back from 6-0 shouldn't be.
  19. Old Twins Hat
    Yeah, Kremer becomes Paredes. That way they keep the bullpen intact. It's a maintenance move not a game changer.
  20. Old Twins Hat
    Woah, I would take another Sabato at this point.

    Seems like the low minors pitchers like it when millionaire prospects step up to the plate -- plunk, plunk, plunk. Welcome to the Bigs Vaughn and Carson.!

    I tr;y not to get too excited when walking off the worst team in the American League to take two out of three at home, after nearly being shut-out two games in a row. But "ra-ra". They sure aren't there yet, wherever they are going. But belief is a powerful thing, and the Twins' players believe in something. We will see what management believes in over the next four days. I, for one, am going to put on a helmet.

    C'mon boys, the idea that the Twins should sacrifice their future as a winning baseball club on the altar of a surprise .500 season is just crazy. Crazy! Keep building for the future by giving up on wasting assets and acquiring ones on the way up. That's the way this goes: trade the old, bring in the new. And BTW, the clubs that are moving to adopt the younger players, Washington, Chicago WS, Boston, they are making the biggest moves! Trade Jeffers and whoever else anybody wants and then bring up the young talent and let them compete.

    You do realize that they would have win against the equivalent of the Dodgers? Right?
  25. Old Twins Hat
    Let's remember: Jeffers is gone regardless, his contract expires. What would you pay for two months of Jeffers? A good AA prospect, maybe two prospects in the low minors? That's it. Maybe they can move Larnach? Does anyone even want Bell? Ryan ain't going anywhere with his dead arm; plus the Twins need him next year. Don't expect the sun and moon and stars. The Twins are building young and from within and they are holding some good cards -- thank God.

    Maybe the same record, but think of the payroll reduction that has gone into this team. And how much younger they got, and could go younger yet. Just getting rid of Correa was the key move, and they don't miss him. At all. Twins have something in Morris; he's got that strapping walk and determination needed to get outs. A keeper for sure. No relation of course, but gotta like the name pedigree. A Morris was on the mound the last time the Twins were world champions.
