    SWR is the only player on that list who belongs on a major league roster. Most of them should be AAA lifers. Clemens might find a job because he's shown some power. SWR still has potential, if this coaching staff can find it.

    It would have been nice to see the Twins call up guys who actually could have an impact next season. Adams (yawn), Davis (bigger yawn) and Keirsey (tranquilizer) do not belong on the big league roster next year. Someone like Fedko or Gabriel Gonzalez would have been a better choice, giving them the chance to learn the difference in batting against big league pitchers.

    Good riddance. So tired of watching his half-hearted swings and his coasting while running the bases. Can't imagine his lack of hustle played well in the clubhouse.

    If the Twins trade Duran or Joe Ryan, they are idiots. They are the foundation of the pitching staff, one that could be good in the next few years. Trade off the short-time players, but don't sell off the guys who give us a chance to win in the future.

    I don't know what Correa's contract status is, but would it benefit the Twins to trade Correa? He appears to be going through the motions. Could the Twins put together a Rafael Devers type deal for Correa? Trade him and Vasquez to the Angels for Zach Neto, O'Hoppe and Demers? Just an idea.

    Woods-Richardson deserves the fourth spot much more than Paddack. Paddack is so danged fragile that counting on him for anything more than 15 starts this season could easily blow up in your face.

    Starting Prielipp in the bullpen might be the best way to manage the wear and tear on his arm. He's got immense up-side, but management has to be really patient with him.

    If they pull off a trade for Paddack or Vasquez, they could throw in Julien as a sweetener. Two years ago he was hotter than hot and they could use that as a selling point.

    Severino looked completely clueless in most of his at-bats at St. Paul. Swinging at pitches outside the zone, etc. I feel bad for Winder. He seems like a decent pitcher, if he could ever stay healthy.

    Restocking the bullpen and the pitching staff is by far the biggest need. Teams in the playoffs are winning by using 6-8 pitchers in a game. Competent starting pitching is now a luxury. You need to have 10-15 arms in your pipeline that are ready to pitch out of the bullpen to start a season. Dumping Vasquez's contract and resolving first base are needs as well.

    Watching Cavaco in the minor league setting was interesting. He seemed to not have a care in the world. He had his money and he wasn't going to put in much effort after getting that big check. How young players react to getting paid is always a question mark in drafts and Cavaco clearly was just in it for the money.

    I agree on Zebby over Festa. Watched one of Festa's starts in St. Paul. He wasn't blazing anything past the opposing hitters and his other pitches weren't wowing anybody either.

    I'm hoping the front office is getting tired of the excuses. The Twins have the talent to win this division, they just don't have the guidance.
  34. bigdave
    When are the sharks going to start swirling around Rocco, or at least the hitting coaches? It's ridiculous to see the Twins shut out again versus marginal pitching.

    Are the Twins thinning out their minor league rosters? I saw Cruz's release and they cut Garry Jr. and Soularie in the past week as well.
