    Twins have needed an everyday first baseman for some time now. Clemens looks like he can help the lineup with his power, but I think they need more production at first. Right field needs an upgrade as well. At least until Gabby Gonzalez, Jenkins, Martin, Fedko or E Rodriguez get here...
  2. LambchoP
    Maybe they clear some dead weight in AAA off the roster at the deadline opening up starts for guys like Culpeper, Gonzalez, Fedko, Jenkins, any pitchers that seem ready....
  3. LambchoP
    I really think they need to get whatever value they can for our expiring contracts. Bader, Castro and Coloumbe should be able to net us some upper minors talent. Paddack and France could be packaged with some lower level guys to get something. We should only be "buying" if the player has at least another year of control. Someone like Diaz would be a great get. We need a first baseman, a catcher, and as always, pitching.
  4. LambchoP
    This exactly. See what we have in our own guys. Call up a few kids for a debut. Get an idea of who can help us next year and where we got sure need help from outside.

    Twins are NOT buyers or a playoff team. They need to get what they can for all their expiring contracts and look to fill the holes for next year. Call up some of the kids having success in the minors and see if they can viably help us next year. Gives us an idea of where we need to trade or sign for. My guess is next year we need a good SP, probably a reliever or two, definitely a lefty (again). Catcher and first baseman. Clemens could be an option but I'm not sure you want to rely on him and Julien all year. Look what would have happened if we went with Julien/Miranda this year lol.

    Raya back to being Raya. Hill walking 6 guys in three innings is not good. Our minor league pitching sure has been horrible this year. On the position player side, we've looked awesome. Gonzalez, Culpeper, Jenkins, this Fedko kid is tearing up AA. E Rodriguez looked like he was seeing the ball well but he just can't stay healthy. Eeles looks like he could be a call up this year. Martin is doing well. He should take Keirsey's place on the MLB club for sure, at least they could let him hit and not be an automatic out. With all these players coming up I think we'll have some good options. Now all we need is to match that talent with some good pitching.
  7. LambchoP
    EVERYTHING he hits is on the ground. Even when he picks up a hit, it's on a grounder most times. Way too many rollers to the SS for double play. He's becoming more of a liability than a threat for our lineup. There is no way he should still be batting 4rth.
  8. LambchoP
    Paddack should be shipped for whatever we can get along with Castro, Bader, Vasquez, France and Coloumbe. Time to give starts to guys that might actually be with the team long term. Call up guys like Mccusker, Eeles, Raya, Sabato, maybe Gonzalez. See if any of these kids can be potential big leagues next year. Get an idea of where we are strong and where we're weak going into the off-season. Guessing to contend we're going to need SP, LHRP, catcher, 1b and a strong utility player. Possibly a 4rth OF who can hit and platoon with Wallner.
  9. LambchoP
    Twins aren't making the playoffs this year. They should trade off expiring contracts and get the best talent possible in return. Call up the young kids and see what we have for next year. Mccusker should get everyday at bats for a month. See if he's a viable big league. Maybe he could be an option at first. Give Eeles a shot. Maybe he's a decent Castro replacement at utility. See if any of these young position players can possibly help us next year. If so, we can focus our off-season attention on pitching. We need at least one solid SP. Most likely a few good relief pitchers too. Coloumbe will be traded leaving us with no decent lefties in the pen. Again....
  10. LambchoP
    Would much rather have seen one of our own guys get a shot in the pen. Raya, Prelipp. Someone without an ERA with double digits lol.
  11. LambchoP
    I think we can do better. The Twins have needed a legit everyday first baseman for years now. If they can't sign one this off-season then they need to trade for one. If not,maybe try Lewis out at first, if he can find his power swing again....
  12. LambchoP
    I'm betting on another boring deadline with maybe one waiver wire deal. They will cite "returning talent" like Lopez and Keaschal as the reason for not needing to add to the team. I wish they'd at least trade off expiring contracts and try to load up for next season.
  13. LambchoP
    Clemens, Julien and maybe Sabato should get looks at first to see if any of them are viable starters there next year. If nobody runs away with the job, we know that we AGAIN, need a first baseman. I like Clemens. Good power, good defense. If he can raise his AVG a bit we could do a lot worse.
  14. LambchoP
    2nd base probably, depending on where Keaschal ends up. Maybe 3rd base if Lewis eventually moves to first...
  15. LambchoP
    I could see Culpeper and Gonzalez getting called up to AAA this year, especially if one of our OF are traded. I'm hoping Martin gets called up to replace Keirsey. Maybe we can stash Keirsey on the bench in St Paul and give the everyday at bats to Gonzalez, Mccusker, Fedko and Rodriguez ( if he can ever stay on the field)
  16. LambchoP
    Fedko, Culpeper and Gonzalez are all tearing up AA and should move up the prospect rankings while Rodriguez and some of our pitchers moves down. Do we have any info on E Rod's new injury? Is this what we can expect from him, 2-5 IL trips each year? That's not good for one of our top 5 prospects but also not uncommon for this organization unfortunately.
  17. LambchoP
    Don't trade Ryan. Unless a total tear down and rebuild is coming. This would be a total waste of Buxton and Correa's contract though. These two a long with Lopez are signed the next few years and are towards the end of their prime. If we're ever going to go for it, it needs to be soon. I say sell off expiring contracts, make some major league debuts as a try out for next year and start gearing up for 2026.
  18. LambchoP
    Glad the Twins are finally with the times and looking for power arms that can get strikeouts rather than the pitch to contact soft throwers of the Terry Ryan era. Of course with power arms they have the injury potential to deal with, and all but the best won't throw too many innings. But strikeouts, velocity and movement rule in today's game. Hopefully some of these kids work out. The team will always need home grown pitching.
  19. LambchoP
    Between Culpeper and now Houston it sure looks like the Twins are trying to lock down Correa insurance, or dare I say.... replacement. Not sure Brooks Lee will ever hit enough to be our everyday starting SS.
  20. LambchoP
    Gabby Gonzalez has had a monster year. If they keep it up I don't see why him and Culpeper couldn't get some time in AAA later this year. Very promising start for Hill. Him and Prelipp could be a nasty 1-2 lefty punch. What's up with E Rodriguez? Will he ever be healthy, or are we looking at a kid so I jury prone he'll never play a full season? If he is this prone to getting hurt this young, I can't imagine he'll get MORE durable as he gets older. Do we look to trade him? Hold onto him for another year and see if he can make the big leagues before trying to shop him?
  21. LambchoP
    Whoever we grab, I hope they pan out and move quickly through the system like Culpeper. We have a few good looking bats at AA already, we could use some real good SP prospects. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as too much pitching:)
  22. LambchoP
    We need Ryan if we plan to be competitive next year....
  23. LambchoP
    I'd really like to see SWR allowed to go deeper into games, especially if he keeps pitching so well like he's been doing. For the offense, if we're struggling to score runs in the middle innings, try a few bunts, hit n runs and stolen bases. Manufacturer some runs rather than sitting back and waiting on the home runs that may never come. Aside from the occasional solo HR, Wallner looks a bit lost at the plate. 2-3 strikeouts everyday. Does he need another minor league reset? Austin Martin is hitting.340 in St Paul.......
  24. LambchoP
    Most of these guys don't look to appealing. They should only do this if they can get a SP who is near major league ready with plenty of upside. A SP and another position prospect in the 10-20 range. That, or a near ready, controllable catcher who can hit. We are weak at catcher and with our AAA SP struggles this year, we need more starters close to the show.
  25. LambchoP
    Also very curious about this. I thought he might have been hurt but no, he was fine. He's had a few weird mental mistakes like this during the season. Like that one play at 2nd base where he got the out but for no reason didn't throw to first base to get the double play. There needs to be some kind of consequences for these types of screw ups. He's a veteran, not a rookie....
