    Great article...very informative.
  2. miller761
    Proves he is serious about improving this team.

    With Buxton out we need Jeffers bat in the lineup or else we risk a drop in run scoring. Unless the Twins are wowed with an offer of an MLB bat they need to keep him for this year.
  4. miller761
    Options. The more the better. It is just like the versatility with the hitters. Now you can piggyback Rojas after Ober or Kremer after 4 or 5 innings and the opposing hitters do not get multiple looks against the same pitcher.

    Robbie Ray would look real good in a Twin"s uniform and keeping him out of a White Sox uniform would make it even sweeter.

    I feel they have a better than 30% chance of winning their division - no wild card needed. If they can add some pitching without losing any of the top prospects I think that would be great. Chemistry is important and that is evident that the present club has that going. Make a few additions that cost middle of the road prospects and see what happens.

    Rather have Lewis that Walker at 1B any day of the week.

    Buxton left the game tonight. Jeffers bat is needed more than ever now. There will be a team salary base bottom next year. Keep Jeffers unless someone makes you an offer you can't refuse and offer the QO for next year. It is an overpay but only for 1 year and you will get the draft pick. Besides trading him to a team you could face in the playoffs doesn't sit well with me either.

    Follow the Brewer's blueprint. Players with more than 1 season of control get traded in the offseason. Free agents get traded at the deadline no emotions involved.
  10. miller761
    With so few sellers at the deadline the competition may be fierce for guys that are available. At least this way we can see what we have in Nance and Go before the deadline. Hoping tom Pohlad is pushing Zoll to look at all possibilities to improve that bullpen.
  11. miller761
    Giving out multi year contracts to 30 year old starting pitchers is risky business. Great article...it made up my mind. Some team would have to really offer MLB talent or MLB ready talent at the deadline for the Twins to trade Joe. Twins should trade Joe but in the off season.
  12. miller761
    Good trade. By that I mean it was a good trade for both teams. Jax gets a chance to pitch in the playoffs and be a starting pitcher. Twins get a #2 starting pitcher controllable for 3 more years.
  13. miller761
    A lot of games are won and lost in innings 7-9. Morris, Rojas and Gomez at least gives us a chance. We are still trying to win. Paredes has done a serviceable job as a #5 starter. Leave him there and put Rojas in the pen. Next year the circumstances will be entirely different more than likely... maybe he gets his chance to start then.
  14. miller761
    He can always go back to starting if he develops command and 2 more pitches. Right now we are still in the chase and desperately need bullpen help. Give him a chance and take a chance the Twins can help him with command. That is a special arm and I would want to do this even if Banda was heaalthy.
  15. miller761
    Alan Roden should be up on the big league club. Can he cut it? Then you trade Larnach. Trade Jeffers otherwise you lose Jackson. If you trade those 2 pieces you should be able to add 2 players to help fill holes on your team which should be pitching and you have not created a hole in your position player depth. I admire what Tampa Bay has done but it does not work every time. Milwaukee has been extremely successful with a payroll similar to ours. They do a version of the Tampa Bay guide and they don't mind trading away soon to be free agents. Hopefully Mr. Zoll looks around and studies the sucessfull teams similar to his team.
  16. miller761
    Bulk reliever or single innings this bullpen needs pitchers. He has earned the right to at least give the bullpen a shot.
  17. miller761
    Good to see the young guy get his chance. I can watch a young guy struggle instead of a retread throwing a prayer up to home plate. The youth movement is on... who will be next?
  18. miller761
    Hasn't he played some 1B this year?
  19. miller761
    All the conversation here shows how tough a job being a GM is.
  20. miller761
    There is room for both Lewis and Clemens in the lineup. Clemens can play right field. Martin is playing too much and has been exposed. Same for Gray and Kriedler. Outman and Arcia should go and Fedko and Royce should be up. The direction of our season will be decided in the next 2 weeks. We have to improve our run scoring.
  21. miller761
    How many times has Funderburk walked the leadoff hitter who a lot of times is batting left handed? He has been given like multiple different chances this year with the same result. Our bullpen has not been dreadful lately with Shelton doing a great job matching up but walks have been given up at an alarming rate and a lot of those batters who have walked have scored.
  22. miller761
    Give Royce a shot at 1B in St. Paul.
  23. miller761
    Appreciate that Shelton and Zoll are starting to make moves. Even if we are going anywhere right now we are still in it
  24. miller761
    Got a right fielder in St. Paul that we can be this excited about?
  25. miller761
    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.
