    Farmer has fallen off a cliff and I don't get it either. The Twins acquired Margot for a bag of chips and I don't think he will be on the team for long as long as players get healthy. Wallner waking up and returning to the majors could/would hasten Morgot's departure.

    Boy, isn't that the truth. Our infield hitting has been awful.

    Big mistake not resigning Solano...and he wanted to be here!
  4. Jeff K
    I disliked (still do) the Santana signing as well. Especially with Solano having been such a solid contributor lasts season. I would have much preferred Solano returning than signing Santana.

    Varland should have been sent down after his previous start. Too much slack to start the season. SWR looked good with his one start. Yup; I get that this doesn't mean he is ready; but Varland CLEARLY is not ready as a starter. Twins have to hope that Paddack gets it together so we can be solid through 4 starters. None of it matters if the Twins continue to hit like they are.

    I fully agree; however, the outfield is so thin, we need both of them.

    yup; i think the big mistake this off season (once the budget was set), was not pursuing a middle rotation starter through trade or late signing. It seems the Twins wanted to make Varland happy and keep him as a starter. He was soooo impressive late last season as a reliever.

    While on the topic of starting pitchers, I thought the Twins should have saved SWR to start instead of Varland this weekend. Varland has proven that he is good once through the order.

    Martin has really impressed me. Saw him at spring training and he looks like a player. I suspect he will be hard to send back down. I hope that is true.

    Larnach played last night; I think at single A. They certainly could use Lee right now.

    Good call out. This series did not set up well for the Twins. Incredible how well the relief pitching has been with all of the injuries. We need 7 innings from Lopez today as our best guys are likely not available out of the pen today.

    That's fair, Stewart has been great. I guess with Stewart's success, all extreme long shots are worth a roster spot. And I get with the extensive injuries to the pen, the Twins have next to no options to add to the staff. This guy is clearly on the roster as a warm body.
  13. Jeff K
    Perfect; adding a has been/never was...
  14. Jeff K
    With the Martin call up, his infield play is most likely at 2nd base...in addition to the outfield.
  15. Jeff K
    I think we are going to see more julien with Royce out...bad reason. Farmer will spend more time at 3rd. I hope the Twins call up Martin.
  16. Jeff K
    Royce Lewis is just plain snake bit. I'm sad for Royce; sad for the Twins and sad for all of the fans. Darn it!

    I like Varland and feel he can be a solid 5th starter this season. Unfortunately, our experienced depth in starting pitching is now diminished. I'm sure everyone noticed that the Rangers signed Michael Lorenzen for 4 - 7 Million (incentives) in a one year deal. That looks pretty good to me and I wonder if the Twins had a shot at him, or if they were not interested. I think given the aspirations the team has this year, that would have been a good signing.
  18. Jeff K
    Nailed it. I love Jorge as well, but he could only play 2nd base with diminishing returns. As a competitive AND business decision, it was time to move on from Jorge.
  19. Jeff K
    I do think the Twins need another starter now; regardless of how well regarded our youngsters are. Additionally, with the bullpen depleted of two of our best, Varland could start the season as an 8th or 9th inning option if the Twins were to secure depth at starting pitching.
  20. Jeff K
    I was at the Twins vs. Braves a couple of days ago and Martin started at 2nd base. He made two beautiful plays and looked good hitting even though the Twins only got a few hits. He is certainly athletic and looks like a solid ballplayer. He's my choice in CF if Buxton goes down. Here's hoping Byron a great season and no need for more than a back up CF!

    If Miranda continues to hit and shows well in St. Paul, he could be part of a trade package. Of course, if Santana or Kirilloff go down with injury then that is a different story.
  22. Jeff K
    I still believe DeScalfini begins the season on the DL and Varland with the Big Club.
  23. Jeff K
    I don't get the hate/dislike either. I think Kirilloff has a reasonable chance of having a very big season for the Twins.
  24. Jeff K
    I think Larnach and Miranda are definite trade candidates as is Farmer, assuming health with our existing guys.
  25. Jeff K
    I have a long and technical response. No.
