Appreciate that Shelton and Zoll are starting to make moves. Even if we are going anywhere right now we are still in it

Got a right fielder in St. Paul that we can be this excited about?

David Festa Nears Return From Injury As Twins Weigh His Future Role

There is nobody in the bullpen right now that can get those tough outs in the 8 or the final outs in the 9th. In my opinion the current team has an offense that can win games and starting pitching that can win games. We would have a winning record right now if the bullpen could get those tough outs. Many have had the chance and failed. Give Festa a chance to close. What is there to lose? There is much more to gain. You can then build your earlier relievers based on who is doing well and matchups. We have 4 who could do that job. There is nothing more deflating to team morale than what is happening now. We build a lead and lose the game. That is why we have not won a 1 run game yet. This is the majors and only 1 stat matters - wins. I think Festa at the back of our bullpen gives us a much better chance of winning.

Activate Royce send down Lee, Waive Outman bring up Roden. Kriedler to SS. Defense has to be better. Again I say just make the plays in front of you. No excuse for defense at the MLB level like the Twins are showing.

Walks and hit batters have to be unacceptable for this current teams. Catching the balls you are supposed to is a close second. Make teams hit to beat you don't give them extra outs and baserunners. This Twins team can be an 80 win team but the 2 things I mentioned above must be executed. We have 2 other shortstops on current roster and Royce is coming back. Sit Lee or send him down and give the other 2 a good look, Send down or sit Wallner if there are players producing at AAA. If a player has no track record of success why do the Twins stick with said player. Tom Kelly expected a player to make the plays expected of them...not the great plays they are a bonus. I had hoped Shelton would be different than Rocco in this area. We are 20 games in to the season with an off day tomorrow before the road trip. Time for Shelton to make some changes with shortstop, right field and in the bullpen.

Where do the Twins stand on number of walks taken? Walks seem to be evident in innings where we score runs.

Love how Shelton uses his bullpen. Relievers coming back out for an extra out or inning.

Why can we not expect at least the same results from Lee that our $30 million short stop gave us last year. I think and expect Lee to do that at a fraction of the salary cost. Would that be so bad?

See what happens when we get to July. That will make the front office decision for them.

Is Bailey Ober Behind Schedule This Spring?
miller761 replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
How about Ober in the bullpen? -
Martin has earned the right to play everyday!! Let the kid go and see what happens. Also Roden needs to play everyday against right handed pitching. Larnach should be traded for a right handed relief pitcher. Wallner plays if he produces. Martin and Roden can add speed and athleticism to the team. We need more of that.

Gonzalez will be a better hitter than either Larnach or Wallner. Make room for the young guys!

How can anyone in the Twin's front office leave Austin Martin off the opening day roster with what he did last year? If anything he has earned the right to play everyday until he proves he can't hit right handed pitching. Outman, Kreidler and Wagaman are AAAA ball players at best. Much rather see a young player thrown into the mix than waster at bats on these guys.

I thought Roden can play CF also. If that is the case there is absolutely no reason for Outman to be on the team. We have 3 young rookie outfielders of which any of the 3 could hit better than Outman right now. I for one will be watching these 3 last roster spots closely. Outman was Falvey's trade. Zoll should have no reason to keep Outman around. I think Larnach gets trade at the end of spring training and we pick up a player who makes our team as a back up infielder.
