    I agree with your comments as well as the original ones...and my gut reaction to sending down Miranda was...are you crazy? But his negative defense and mediocre offense are reasons to not play. Miranda has good upside and needs to play. Send him to St. Paul and let him find his batting stroke and improve his fielding.

    I fully agree that Castro is the first to go when Farmer or AK are brought up. My eyes tell me Larnach is a good hitter, but it's hard to argue with the stats. Unless someone goes on the DL, I suspect it's Larnach or Solano who get moved out after Castro. Gordon's ability to play so many positions should keep him on the roster.

    Twins hitting has picked up. I can understand an upgrade at First Base ONLY if AK can't perform as the Twins hope. Otherwise, it remains to be seen if the team needs to make any moves. None are obvious at this point with excellent depth throughout the roster. I don't like any of the suggested pick-ups.

    The problem of who to send down when AK and Farmer return is a good problem to have. Castro is a fairly easy call. It does get tough after that. The Twins will likely use the DL for anyone with a sniffle when push comes to shove to make room.
  5. Jeff K
    At the end of the day, his lack of velocity has no place on the roster. It seems nearly certain that he will go on the DL. When he returns, he needs to prove himself in rehab or face being released. The Twins have a good team with a chance to make a strong run to the playoffs and can't afford to carry him on the hopes of reclaiming past glory with Maeda. Professional sports are merciless.
  6. Jeff K
    That is the move I'm looking for.

    I agree with your comments. I would add that the Twins do need some help with hitting and Kirilloff seems like the best hope for improvement without making a trade. Great having Polanco back in the lineup.
  8. Jeff K
    I think calling out Kepler and Polanco is fair. I see Kepler getting outrighted as our youngsters become ready. Polanco could be a trade candidate. I hope he hasn't reached the stage of his career when he is breaking down...although that seems like a possibility.
  9. Jeff K
    I like how you're thinking, but I would move Kepler to the bench!
  10. Jeff K
    I definitely agree with taking starts from Kepler, especially in CF. We have to see about Gallo as his defensive skills were evident yesterday. As for Larnach; I fully disagree. He looks good and has pop!

    Ryan in the top 5 would bode VERY well for the Twins. I'm not placing dollars on it, but love the sentiment.
  12. Jeff K
    I agree with your comments. I would also add that if Ober is a starter and Maeda is a reliever, then someone has to be sent down or released to make room. Dump Pagan. I know, such a unique idea. Also, I could quibble that Coulombe ought to make the team rather than Sands.
  13. Jeff K
    I think Ober has to start; and I agree that it should be a 5 man rotation especially for April. I would bite the bullet and release Pagan and keep a different reliever.
  14. Jeff K
    I don't need to write out my comments as you nailed what I'm thinking around the starting pitching. Our relief pitching so was unreliable last year and Baldelli put even more pressure on them by pulling starters before their 3rd time around the lineup. Sometimes, the heart has to be heard above the brain. You need a mix of the two.
  15. Jeff K
    I get the 4 presidents on Mt. Rushmore. Our Rushmore should be a couple more players. Tony Oliva and Torii Hunter would be on my enlarged Rushmore!
  16. Jeff K
    I agree with much of your thinking. That said, assuming the Twins package players to acquire a frontline pitcher, I hope they would then focus on keeping positions open for our youngsters. You can never have too much talent at SS and Correa does seem destined to play 3rd base in the next couple of years.
