    Correa being one of the highest paid players in the entire game and one of our team leaders should inspire confidence. These are the guys you want to come up with RISP and in big game situations. All this year, whenever Correa comes to bat in a big moment, I let out a defeated sigh, and then watch him strikeouts or weakly ground out to short like he does so often. Twins need to find a way to get him right or he will be hurting this team with that contract for at least the next 4 years....

    I would also much rather see Martin up instead of Keirsey. Martin can do all the things Keirsey can but would also be a better hitter. Keirsey is an automatic out and has not even been that great of a base stealer despite his speed.
  3. LambchoP
    I think if Royce Lewis can start hitting again, maybe they could try him at 1b starting next year which would open 3rd base for Lee who is better defensively. I would rather they trade for or go out and sign a power hitting true first baseman but we all know that won't happen. Maybe if France is traded at the deadline they can give Julien or Saboto a shot. Why not let some of the kids get a chance, seasons basically over anyways.

    Glad to see some of our position player prospects having great years. Mccusker, Eeles, Gonzalez, Culpeper, DeBarge and Fedko. This anemic team needs an injection of offense. We need a true long term first baseman and some catching help, Vasquez is almost gone and Jeffers doesn't look good lately. Those are our biggest issues, but upgrading the offense no matter where it is needs to be a priority.
  5. LambchoP
    Give the catching gear to good ole Mickey Gasper! Dude seems to hit like Babe Ruth in AAA. Now if he could only find a way to do it at the big league level and play a solid catcher, we'd be set :)
  6. LambchoP
    This list tells me we really need to try and acquire some upper minors pitching at the trade deadline. Specifically guys we think can be starters and throw more than 3 innings. The guys that were supposed to be at the top of our SP depth like Morris, Lewis, Raya... they're all getting ROCKED :(
  7. LambchoP
    We're not trading Buxton. I'd rather see trade return ideas for all our guys on expiring contracts who might actually get traded. Throw out some hypothetical trade ideas returns for Castro, Paddack, Coloumbe, Bader, France or Vasquez. Maybe Duran....
  8. LambchoP
    Castro should be a solid trade chip. Would be great if we could get a projectable SP in AA or even AAA. Maybe a SP a little further away and a AA catcher, something like that. I think trading Castro and Duran should nab us some interesting pitching prospects and hopefully a catcher we can pair with Jeffers next year.
  9. LambchoP
    I know this is supposed to be a joke, but we ARE completely wasting Buxton's best season of his career. :(
  10. LambchoP
    Good start for Prelipp. Seems to be our only SP doing well. Lewis got rocked again. Might be time to go back to not using the knuckler so much as a primary offering. I don't know who this Fedko kid is at AA but hitting .270 with 17 homers and 20 steals at the halfway point! Hopefully this is his true breakout and not just a one year heater. Twins need offense. Badly. I'd like to see Eeles get a true chance. Maybe if Castro is traded st the deadline they can use Eeles as our new utility guy.
  11. LambchoP
    Twins should get whatever value they can trading away our expiring contracts. Castro, Paddack, Coloumbe, Bader, France and Vasquez. If we're looking for better returns that can help next year we could stand to trade one of Wallner or Larnach. Both are iffy on defense. Wallner has more power but Larnach is the better hitter, and can hold his own against lefties. Problem is they are both in a bit of a slump so their value won't be very high. Our best trade chip might be Duran. If we can trade him for a young controllable SP and a viable catcher to pair with Jeffers I'd say go for it. The way our AAA starting pitchers have looked this year, it's clear we need more and better talent.
  12. LambchoP
    Is Maccaghen an option for a few spot starts? His numbers are better than Raya, Lewis, Morris or Dobnak. Give him a chance to start and bring Adams up to replace Wentz. Twins need to make a move for more pitching, and not rentals.
  13. LambchoP
    Wentz needs to be DFA'D. Give his long relief role in the pen to Adams. Sign Kyle Gibson to cover a few starts until Ober or Mathews are back.
  14. LambchoP
    Do the Twins train any pitchers to be starters anymore? Even if they do technically start a game, it seems they never stretch anyone out past three, maybe 4 innings. Maybe this is a normal thing in the minor leagues. I just think if you expect a guy to pitch deep into games once he makes it to AAA or the show, you have to condition them to do just that in the low minors...
  15. LambchoP
    I wanted Twins to get a real first baseman. Was hoping for Walker, Goldschmidt. Maybe Casas or Diaz from Tampa. France was ok early on but should be traded at the deadline if we can get some kind of return for him. Here we are again, needing an everyday first baseman. They should either train Lewis to be the first baseman next year, maybe with Julien as backup, or they need to sign someone for more than a one year stopgap contract.
  16. LambchoP
    Julien hitting like he wants a call up. I'm wondering, has he been playing any first base in St Paul? If France is traded at the deadline, that might be Julien's chance. Otherwise, it sure looks like Wallner could use a trip to AAA to get his swing right. Maybe they could give Mccusker a real chance this time.
  17. LambchoP
    None of our options seem viable at the moment. We should really try to acquire a major league quality catcher to pair with Jeffers. If we can move Vasquez, hopefully we can get his replacement at the deadline. If not, it has to happen in the off-season.
  18. LambchoP
    This team needs major starting pitching. Our hyped up pitching pipeline has completely dried up as most of our AAA arms have all had disastrous seasons so far. Hopefully we can acquire some kind of help for next year or the future at the trade deadline.
  19. LambchoP
    What would it take in a trade to get Cabrera and Henriquez? Twins need real SP, a catcher and a true power hitting first baseman. None of this will happen at the deadline but hopefully we can acquire some kind of talent selling off all our expiring contracts. There's gotta be a team out there who'd give us something for some of these guys.... Paddack, Castro, Bader, France, Vasquez, Coloumbe. Duran if the return is right. They can't afford to sit out the deadline again like last year.
  20. LambchoP
    Both Culpeper and Gonzalez have had great seasons and haven't slowed down at all since the move up to AA. Another intriguing player is DeBarge. 42 steals in the first half! If he can develop a little more power this kid could be fun to watch! Too bad we don't have any pitchers having great seasons like these position players..... We really need to be trying to acquire as much pitching as we can at the deadline.
  21. LambchoP
    Fedko has had a solid season, hopefully he can keep it up and stay healthy. Twins need RH power bats for the OF. Hate to say it but Wallner may need to be a platoon guy. Another prospect who has impressed a ton is Gabby Gonzalez. Rough year last year but now is hitting like crazy. Not a ton of power or speed, but could be a great top of the lineup table setter if he can keep hitting well over .300. I also have to mention Kyle DeBarge. 42 stolen bases in the first half, that's crazy! Nice to see Jenkins and E Rodriguez healthy right now. We need both guys to stay healthy and get regular at bats and field time.
  22. LambchoP
    Twins need pitching! All our upper level talent have been having terrible years. Raya, Morris, C Lewis. These were guys who were supposed to be MLB options this year, now it looks like Adams, who hasn't thrown more than 4 innings in a game this year, is our only option. We are sure going to need Prelipp, Soto and Hill to work out... Hopefully we can get some pitching talent at the trade deadline.
  23. LambchoP
    We finally get to see a healthy, all star type season from Buxton and everyone else around him has career worst numbers. Such a Twins thing to happen. Good things countered by multiple bad things.
  24. LambchoP
    Encouraging to see these hitters doing so well. This Fedko kid seems like he came out of nowhere! Gonzalez is on a season long tear. Hasn't slowed down in the least in AA and if he keeps it up he should see St Paul soon. Culpeper looks like our SS of the future and DeBarge is swiping bags like Ricky Henderson! Mccusker and Martin are both playing like they want a call up. Now if we could only see some of this kind of success with our pitchers our upcoming talent would be in great shape. As it is, we have no real pitchers in the upper minors that look anywhere close to MLB ready. I really hope they can pick up some young pitching at the trade deadline by selling off all our expiring contracts.
  25. LambchoP
    After going hitless in 3 rehab games the Twins are rushing Lewis back to save this crappy offense. It's more likely he goes 0-15 or something and goes down with another leg injury, this time for the rest of the season. Hey, at least we got rid of Bride. Now if we could just do the same for Keirsey and Wentz. Why does Rocco play our worst looking lineup anytime we're on national TV? We always play like **** too. Definitely not making the team look attractive to any potential buyers out there.
