    Swept by Houston and tied with Detroit for the central division. Then losing 3 out of 4 to Cleveland. This team looks like they expect bad thing to happen. Maybe Lewis can spark them but that's asking a lot of a rookie in a clubhouse with Correa and Buxton in it.

    If the lack of hitting keeps up the pitchers will start feeling like they have to be perfect. Then the mistakes will start. suddenly the score will be 8-1 instead of 3-1

    He's allowing his career's highest home run rate (1.1 HR/9), but it's a limited sample size to this point. I'm not saying he hasn't shown improvement, but you can't use the good things as proof he has improved, and the bad is just small sample size.

    When they failed to score in the 7th yesterday I said well that was their chance, its over. Got up and went outside to do a little yard work. unfortunately I was right.

    After the struggles he had last year, he needs to stay put in St. Paul and have some success. If he is still pitching well and throwing strikes in late June or July then is the time to bring him for a look see.

    I think AK has the ability to be the twins most complete hitter in years. So yes he will be the key if his wrist is ok.

    I just can't see Lee being brought up this year. he looks like he is right where he belongs in Wichita. Also he doesn't have a place to play. It would take a lot of injuries to get him on the 40 man. I hope Lewis can take over at 3rd and Buxton can go back to the outfield. This would let Miranda become a !B/DH. He just doesn't seem athletic enough to play 3b.

    If this keeps up the pitchers will start feeling the pressure to be perfect and then the wheels will really fall off.

    Whether the Twins should have protected the two that got away needs more info. Who were the players kept that took the spots they would have gotten? What were the teams needs at the time? Then you always have to wonder if the player got some instruction that helped that the Twins would not of given them.

    Not even close to moving him to the pen. At times he just dominates a lineup. I think most of his lower body injuries can be corrected by changes to his mechanics or conditioning.
  11. Ricky Vaughn
    Wow 20% of the season played and you want to kick ass and take names. Have a little patience.
  12. Ricky Vaughn
    The loss of velocity doesn't preclude him from being successful, but makes it harder. If he can prevent hard contact he should be fine. Probably not a 1 or 2 starter but back end starters are valuable too.
  13. Ricky Vaughn
    Look for help in the pen. Pagon isn't being used at all even in a mop up role. Why is still here, do Rocco and the FO have a difference of opinion here?
  14. Ricky Vaughn
    I think he would be against being a full time DH considering the way his contract is constructed. How many Dh's get MVP votes? He seems driven to be the best he can be, and I can't see him accepting this role. If he does then I think it must mean his knee and or hip are a lot worse than is publicly known.
  15. Ricky Vaughn
    If Buxton is only going to be a DH from now on, as Rocco seemed to say the other day I don't think he can be considered a core player anymore.
  16. Ricky Vaughn
    Have to go with Ross as the hitter. Having 11 k's in 19 at bats takes Rodriguez out of the running.
  17. Ricky Vaughn
    I agree with all of these except Lee. If we see him up in the middle of the season it will be because something went terribly wrong. I doubt very much he will be put on the 40 man roster this year.
  18. Ricky Vaughn
    I was less than impressed when he was signed but his play has impressed me.
  19. Ricky Vaughn
    If there is an open spot on the 40 man Dobnak should get some opportunities. If they need to they can designate him and send down without worrying about someone claiming him due to the guarantied money owed him.
  20. Ricky Vaughn
    A good deal of a catchers success throwing out base runners is on the pitcher. How well he holds runners and how fast he delivers the ball is crucial in stopping steal attempts.
  21. Ricky Vaughn
    You may be right, IDK. When I read your proposal my first reaction was that pitchers would concentrate on a fastball and an off speed pitch they could throw for strikes but the hitter has trouble doing anything but fouling it off. Remember Scott Baker and how He would get two strikes on the hitter then go to his off speed stuff. It wasn't good enough to strike them out and they would foul off pitch after pitch after pitch. He would have been a star in your league. LOL But you may be right, the hitter just becomes more defensive and concentrates on putting the ball in play. It would be interesting to see a game played under those rules.
  22. Ricky Vaughn
    too different, I think there would be a lot of 1-0 games with very few base runners. Unless the pitcher was limited to only fastballs.
  23. Ricky Vaughn
    What would you have given up in a trade for Mahle? Remember your not the only one bidding for his services. Sacrifices have to be made when your the buyer in a sellers market. Or would you prefer if the FO followed Terry Ryan's keep them all cause they might be the teams future, and then watch them age out of the system without ever living up to their potential, You have to give something to get something.
  24. Ricky Vaughn
    Only about a 2hr drive may have to make a couple early trips over. Kind of surprised they are going to entrust those arms to a junior college coach. Iowa central has a really good program, but still. An exciting group of players for sure.
  25. Ricky Vaughn
    No leash for Pagon. He needs to be on a choke chain. Solano will be traded when when Lewis is ready, if not sooner. All the starters are safe (may be on the disabled list though). Farmer may be traded if they want bring up a prospect or save some money. One of Taylor and Gallo is safe depending on their hitting. The other one goes.
