    I can see a scenario where Emma starts the year with the Twins in LF and Jenkins is in St Paul due to a roster crunch, because Emma needs to play or be lost. I don't think Jenkins will be in St Paul long. He'll be back up just as soon as they figure out who stays and who goes.

    Is he talking about raising payroll because he thinks there is going to be a payroll floor in the future and he is just trying to spin it for the Pohlads benefit before it happens?

    I hope I'm wrong but Zoll's comment about baseball evolving leads me to believe the team will have 4 starters that go 4 innings and 4 relievers that can go 3-4 innings with the rest being 1-2 inning relievers.

    If that becomes true I wont care who makes their debut or when. Been an avid Twins fan for 60+ years and if this happens I'll be done. Billionaires fighting with millionaires makes me sick. If the players were fighting for the minor league and fringe players to get a better deal I wouldn't be turned off so much. But they seem to fighting for the stars. Same with the owners They already have more money than they can spend or even give away in a lifetime. But they want more. I know its a business, but its also entertainment, so its not a necessity, people have a choice. Baseball is dying a slow death, and players and owners both seem to be trying to grab the most they can before the well runs dry. I think affordability is a big part of the problem. I used to take my daughter and one of her friends up to a game 7-8 times a year and it wasn't a strain on finances. Now a trip like that would cost more than $300.00. I rarely make it up to a game more than once or twice a year. Didn't even go this year. First time in a long time. Sorry for the rant but I needed to get it off my chest.

    He has stated many times he hates being a DH. I didn't look it up but he seems to hit much better when playing the field. Put him in a corner for now and save some wear and tear on his hips.

    Disagree, For one thing the drop in velocity could be from the blister on his foot that never gets a chance to heal properly. Plus he has consistently shown the ability to go 6-7 innings with no drop off in velocity. Its way to early to give up on him. He has starters body, unlike Festa who runs out of gas after 3-4 innings and looks like a strong wind will blow him off the mound. Festa is the candidate for the pen.

    No chance Jeffers would accept a one year deal. The Yankees are desperate for a catcher and will give him a 4 year contract at something like 15 mil. /year.
  28. Ricky Vaughn
    Just like most trades that involve minor league players, you can't really grade it for a few years.
  29. Ricky Vaughn
    It pains me to say this but I see a 4-11 record in the next 15 games.

    Get Robbie Ray from the Giants, he's available and they are willing to pick up some his salary.

    Shut out by the two worst pitching staffs in the AL in the last week. I don't think there should a sell off like last year but some trades for the future need to be done. If its a trade that also helps this year great, but don't mortgage the future for this year.

    About the least of this teams worries. They can always pinch hit for Kreidler if the situation calls for it. Bring Culpepper up in couple weeks if they think he is ready, or pick up a good utility player if they think another player that can play shortstop is necessary.
  33. Ricky Vaughn
    Yankee prospects are always over hyped. The actual good ones don't get included in trades. The ones that do get included are almost always underachievers.
  34. Ricky Vaughn
    Agree for the most part. If they trade I hope its to a National league team. Just in case he rediscovers his lost hit tool. If he does I can see him making the Twins life he_ _ every chance he gets.

    looking for the bright spot here. Young only struck out once. Progress
