  1. IIRC, the Dodgers DFA'ed Paxton because they needed or wanted to move some pitchers back from the IL. I don't necessarily think they're looking for a major league player or even someone that they need to put on their 40 man roster. They might be content with the low minor lottery ticket.
  2. Don't think you'll see Severino in a deal for Paxton.
  3. Front office takes a lot of heat - some of it, rightfully so - but Santana at $5M is a complete steal and the Twins' season would look a lot different (in a bad way) without him.
  4. I'll add this - while I'm not a Paxton fan - I'd sure as hell would prefer him to Louie or Festa as the 5th starter. While Festa might be the future and while Varland is an in-house option that doesn't cost you prospect capital, they're way more likely to completely implode in a big spot than Paxton is.
  5. Whether we like it or not, Paxton is near the bar that the Twins' front office is going to set. If a pitcher is added, this is the 'type' of pitcher the Twins will get. Insurance if Paddack is out for an extended period of time, or in the alternative if he does return healthy, Paddack can be shifted to the bullpen where his stuff will play in 1-2 inning stints down the stretch and into October.
  6. Good find on the pitch count. Ideally, you have him out by the 4th-5th inning and its a close game.
  7. Big opportunity for Sim. He's kept the Twins in nearly every game he's started - the Phillies will be the biggest challenge to date especially because runs are going to be really hard to come by against Wheeler.
  8. They desperately need a starting pitcher. I tend to think it will be Paxton.
  9. Huge win. Ober and Sands dominant.
  10. Not many did. Ober pitched like an ace.
  11. The bases loaded curse is alive and well.
  12. Ricky Vaughn pitching for the Phils.
  13. Let's get a Buck Truck and turn this into a laugher.
  14. For someone that's been around for seemingly forever, he makes some dumb mistakes.
  15. I'd love to be wrong but I sense a strike out for Willi.
  16. lol. Bases loaded situations are finding the Twins.
