  1. 2nd or 3rd for Lackey as many have said. I think Houston should be 4 and Winokur should be a couple slots higher.
  2. Bring him up now. It looks like the Twins are waiting for a trade to open a slot for him, but they should get him up now.
  3. Festa is officially gone off the radar...at least for me. Dang it.
  4. And all moving from positions where they were less successful. So very encouraging and Shelton absolutely deserves a great deal of credit for making these moves.
  5. I share your enthusiasm for this bunch. The last 4 first round picks are all progressing very nicely!
  6. Do NOT trade Ryan. Contend, don't contend, leave him on the team. They can trade in the off-season or try to extend. Do try to trade Jeffers IF you can get a reliever that can help the team. Doesn't have to be an 8th or 9th inning guy, but a good depth piece. Do trade either larnach or Bell. The team needs flexibility and two DH's doesn't cut it. Either (Larnach especially) or Bell should be able to bring a solid relief pitcher. It's time to find out about Walker Jenkins.
  7. I think if you need at bats for Caratini, then maybe once a week, Lewis could play 3rd. In addition, he has a day off. That gets Caratini two days a week at 1st. And if I want my best team without making trades, I find a way to get Walker Jenkins in the lineup. Martin or Roden can be the 4th outfielder and Martin can still play some 2nd base.
  8. I was not aware that Able was ruled out for the season. Is that real?
  9. Moving Buxton to DH weakens the team defense and that is a no go for me. Larnach and Bell should both be DH's. They should move one of them so the other doesn't need to own a glove. The only way to find out about Jenkiins is to call him up and play him. Assuming he goes to LF, the defense is improved and we start to find out about this guy. Is it a gamble? Of course. But teams have to make informed decisions and hope they work out. Of course, they have to trade Jeffers. Why let him go for nothing?
  10. I mostly agree with that. My point is he will play pretty much every day, regardless of the two options.
  11. I don't like the idea of holding back Culpepper or Jenkins. If they are ready, then bring them up and find playing tine. I suspect that Larnach or Bell will be traded to improve the Twins relief pitching. Culpepper can play SS, 3rd or 2nd and plays most days either as a back up to the those positions or a starter elsewhere. Obviously, the trade deadline influences these calls, but I don't want our promising youngsters held back.
