  1. With Lewis being able to play 1B, 2B and 3B would he not be a candidate for an utility role? He has decent speed and a decent glove. I am hoping the Twins find a left handed 1B to possible platoon with Lewis. He is too young to give up see Larnach and Lee from last year. If the Twins are going to play in October they must strengthen the back end of the roster. At 5 million I think Lewis can help in that area.
  2. There are few 2B out there better than Clemens defensively or batting. He can even hit LHP.
  3. All the more reason to have starting pitching depth of up to 10 pitchers. It is today's baseball so if you want to win you had better have the depth.
  4. Kendry Rojas ?? Bailey Ober?? Both candidates for bullpen if they don't make starting rotation.
  5. Jeffers is not a good catcher. He has more than his share of passed balls and some wild pitches that should be passed balls. His value is in his hitting and that maybe a bit of a gamble to the team he signs with. He reaches for too many balls instead of moving his body and his throwing arm is average at best. Let Caratini play 4 or 5 games in a row to see what happens. I don't think we will as bad as people think at the position next year.
  6. Time to switch Hoffman and Gomez. Looks to me to be a more logical way to deploy the bullpen.
  7. Would it not be wonderful to have on any given night a Keaschal, Buxton, Rodriguez, Clemens or Jenkins on your bench to insert into a game if needed. This is where the Twins need to get to. Quality depth wins divisions and championships. That is the first step. Next year the Twins will be there with their hitting and pitching. Having to find playing time for good players is a problem Shelton would love to have. We all know injuries play a big part in a winning season. The Twins should be able to do that next year and I am looking forward to that.
  8. Put him in the lineup everyday next to Culpepper and Jenkins. Hopefully they will provide a glimpse of next year"s Twins lineup.
  9. After this weekend E Rod should be with the Twins with regular at bats for the last 2 weeks of season.
  10. There is no quit in this team. Who gets credit for that?
  11. Hopefully Jenkins, Rodriguez and Gonzalez follow in Culpepper footsteps.
  12. FO gets high marks for their effort and results at the deadline. Added to the team in the areas that most needed help without giving up much. Plus 2 players are controllable. Not every team that adds at the deadline gets the results they are looking for.
  13. Great article. What fun it is to turn on TV at night and watch Twins baseball because we are starting to see a marketable product on the field. Also what fun is it to check the MLB standings and probable pitchers for the night because the games mean something. We may lay an egg these next weeks and drop out of playoff hunt but it has been a fun season and hopefully the start of many more.
  14. What a difference 4 months have made and the bullpen we left Fort Myers with. Congrats to the front office and Derek Shelton and his staff. The pen has truly come a long ways!
  15. Brewers just grind out at bats Twins are improving in this area. As I have said before if the Twins can mirror Brewer baseball operations we will have a baseball team worthy of support. This year we have taken a small step. Hoping Tom is a man of his word and next year we continue to take another step or maybe 2.
  16. He doesn't need to be great. Just good so he can lengthen our lineup. I see him at 2B and Houston at SS in the very near future.
  17. Great news! Congrats to the kid! Hopefully he can add to the Twins hitting philosophy that returned last. Taking pitches that are not strikes and running up the pitch count. When they do that the team is usually successful. Very excited to see our new short stop play.
  18. If Soler is healthy and passes through waivers he is worth a look,
  19. Refreshing is the word I use to describe the deadline. Nice to see ownership make a statement and then back it up. We may not make the playoffs but we gave up little to give us a better shot. Morale in the clubhouse should be sky high as there were no subtractions of any significance there. Here is to 2 months of exciting and meaningful baseball for the Twins.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
