    And I think other players are deflated by Baldelli's treatment as well. Hopefully, this will get resolved upon the conclusion of the Twins season.
  2. Jeff K
    I'm not in the anti-Baldelli club, but pulling Bailey was inexplicably nuts.

    I've felt positively towards the Twins all season (after the awful start); however, they are running out of players who can realistically contribute. I just don't see how the pitching staff can hold up in the playoffs. Our top two starters are studs, but it's all youngsters after that. And our vaunted relief depth is pretty well exposed. Perhaps Varland can be a one or two inning guy and do well. They certainly need that. Always hopeful, but a nice playoff run doesn't seem to be in the cards this season.
  4. Jeff K
    Maybe not a savior, but his first two innings went well. He just can't be asked for more than that. PLEASE!
  5. Jeff K
    I agree with you. I am concerned that one reason could be the Twins are not bullish on Correa returning this season. They haven't exactly been up front on the injuries.
  6. Jeff K
    I think we are going to see Varland start this week against Tampa Bay. After that, I hope he moves to reliever.
  7. Jeff K
    That was incredibly informative! Thank you for the analysis!

    Darn it, Kirilloff's hitting abilities seem so legit, but the continual resets after injuries are wrecking his chances. While I like the opportunity to come back after proving himself at AAA next year, I think it is more likely the Twins move on...and you can't blame them. I like the above quote; "Maybe he makes it back elsewhere, and that's ok." yup.

    I think Paddack is finished as a starting pitcher. Maybe he starts a few games if/when he returns this season, but I think his future is relief pitching.
  10. Jeff K
    i suppose a minor league contract doesn't hurt; however, the fact that this is a conversation makes me sad. Between the off season and the trade deadline, the Twins missed their opportunity for starting pitching depth.

    Farmer should be gone. RPR, what is your thing for Farmer? You thumbs down anytime someone says something against Farmer. Farmer is one of the worst players statistically in the major leagues. I sure hope the Twins dump him when Brooks Lee is back OR call up Julien who is seemingly finding himself.
  12. Jeff K
    Julien seems to be rediscovering his game. I hope he keeps it up. Twins might need him if Brooks Lee is out for awhile. Meanwhile, somehow, Kyle Farmer is still with the Twins. My goodness.
  13. Jeff K
    I suspect he won't be in uniform today.
  14. Jeff K
    100% disagree with this comment. Sano did not lack talent. He lacked many things, but talent was not one of them. I'm not sure about Julien, but tend to agree with others that he is stuck in his head.
  15. Jeff K
    Yea verily

    Nice article. I especially agree, that if healthy, we are set at starting pitching for the hoped for playoffs. That said, the Twins did need depth for starting pitching to ensure reaching the playoffs and I think that is why Varland needs to continue to start at AAA until the team is closer to the playoffs and we have a healthy staff. After that, Varland should be permanently converted to relief pitching. He's not going to have a career as a starter. He could have one as a reliever.
  17. Jeff K
    Nice article. I'm especially happy to see Wallner hammering off-speed pitches which were killing him before he was sent down.
  18. Jeff K
    I ought not be disappointed in the Twins ownership as they are simply doing what they said they were going to do. My bad.
  19. Jeff K
    Micheal Lorenzen. 4th/5th starter depth Andrew Chafin. Lefty reliever; something we could use. Lucas Erceg. Righty reliever that could have added some value.
  20. Jeff K
    Kikuchi was a terrible deal and I wouldn't have touched that one.
  21. Jeff K
    Just go through the transactions.
  22. Jeff K
    Boo. I can't believe this is the move the Twins made. Decent rental starters were available at reasonable prices based on the transactions shown. The Twins could be as good as anyone in the AL with just the slightest effort from ownership. It seems to me the Pohlads are unwilling to make that push to take the Twins over the top. Welcome to the Tampa Bay Rays in MN.
  23. Jeff K
    My thoughts EXACTLY. Piece of crap pick up.
  24. Jeff K
    The Twins are close to being as good as anyone. I think another starter is essential. Could the Twins do great with our current club? I think so? Does that depend upon no injuries to the starters? Or no regression? I think a resounding yes. We need quality/proven depth with our starting pitching.
  25. Jeff K
    Perfectly stated! I think Dobbie will be pitching for a major league team this season. Maybe it's the Twins, but someone is going to want him.
