    Seems like the Twins' 'prospects' take forever to make impact if at all.
  2. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Ryan is the 'most likely' but if it does happen, he probably hits 230 on another team.
  3. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    The four lefties in the pen...it certainly could happen but man, that is really going to limit what is already a big question mark.
  4. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Sad story all the way around.
  5. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    This is what contention looks like.
  6. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Topa 'should' be DFA'ed but I don't think he will be - at least not yet.
  7. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Buxton's loyalty is going to be put to the test in July.
  8. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Man, that sucks for Festa. Was really hoping he'd find a niche in the bullpen this season. Still might happen but this doesn't bode well.
  9. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I think Bradley is going to be a pleasant surprise. The Rays don't lose trades too often and they tend to get rid of players at the right time - but...I think this one instance might be where they have made a mistake.
  10. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Bean, This is an interesting post. And I'm curious as to what you're basing these trade scenarios on... The Dodgers would trade Hernandez for Wallner? Why? The Yankees have been trying to dump Stanton for the last 3+ years so that isn't necessarily an endorsement of Wallner as much an indictment on Stanton. The Mets and Red Sox might have the two worst RF situations in baseball, so again, I'm not finding that to be a glowing endorsement of Wallner.
  11. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Seems like 'more of the same' is a recurring theme not just with Wallner but several young Twins' hitters and in the case of players like Julien and Miranda, you get worse than that. Payroll issues are what they are but a team like the Twins can't compete when player development is lacking as much as it has been over the last several years.
  12. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Ryan / Ober / SWR / Bradley / Abel That's the rotation, IMHO. Excited (or curious) to see how the latter three do - especially Bradley and Abel.
  13. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Tom P. continues to double down on the Valdez and contention talk. Pablo's injury is a fork in the road for the Twins and Tom's narrative. Maybe he can now justify a full-blown rebuild - 'well, our ace is out for the season and we don't see a path to winning baseball without him', or, maybe he tries to slap some lipstick on this pig and pursues someone like Giolito in the name of making a move for the sake of it.
  14. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    If the Twins are ever going to make their way back to contention, it would have to be on the shoulders (literally) of SWR, Bradley, Abel, and Matthews. They're about to find out exactly what they have there. Side note, I didn't include Joe Ryan in that list because I'm hard pressed to find any scenario where he is on the roster beyond this season.
  15. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    That is absolutely brutal for the Twins and for Pablo.
  16. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Yeah, Ober is a concern. I have more faith in SWR at this point than Ober...
  17. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    RE Giolito... Meh. Not seeing the appeal other than that he's a 'name' and one that is likely on the downside of his career. Would be better off going with Matthews or Abel and giving them a full season's look. The Twins' young players have to take that next step eventually or things are going to get much worse.
  18. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I tend to agree with this.
  19. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Falvey was the kind of word salads - he said so much without saying anything at all. Tom P. puffs out his chest and marches around with the false bravado but I have a feeling it will be mostly bluster and empty promises. Until the leadership changes, the Twins are what they are - a bad to mediocre baseball team.
  20. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Well, this stinks. Hopefully it isn't anything serious. Not a coincidence that last year's spiral started when he got hurt.
  21. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Roster construction has been problem for a while now. Falvey wasn't done any favors with the payroll limitations but the moves he did make were usually head scratchers. We'll see if it is any different under Zoll and Joe P long-term but I'm not holding my breath.
  22. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I'm too lazy to look but I wonder if any of the lefties have splits which indicate they're equally effective against right handed hitters.
  23. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Yeah I'm surprised he did get an MLB deal. This and the Banda trade are potentially good moves.
  24. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Can put Andrew Chafin in here now. Twins signed him to a minor league deal.
  25. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    In no particular order... Banda / Sands / Rogers / Topa / Funderburk / Orze... Those appear to be locks or as close to locks as you can get. That leaves two spots. Do they go with some combination of Festa, Zebby, Raya, Morris, Rojas or Adams? Or, do they find room for the likes of Bash, Hartwig, Altavilla, Hendricks, Bowman, Merryweather?
