    The opener will only work if the SP or bulk innings guy can keep your team in the game and lately Festa, Ober, SWR and Paddack have been unable to do that. You also need enough quality arms in the bullpen that using one to open the game doesn't hurt your chances of having impact arms available in the late innings. I still don't understand why Adams isn't being given a chance. I would much rather see him as our long man/ opener/ piggyback starter over cast offs like Wentz and the new waiver wire pickup from MIA....

    I like the power potential, but unless he learns to put the ball in play when not hitting home runs, he's going to be a 200 hitter with loads of strikeouts. If another team comes calling I would see if we could get anything interesting for him. Larnach is a better hitter, Buxton is solid. We have E Rodriguez coming up. Castro, unless he's traded. I'm not sure any team would give up much for Wallner alone now though after this prolonged slump.

    Hopefully Ohl can continue getting good results at AAA because all our other starters there have been bad. Raya, Morris and Lewis have all been shelled this year. I really hope we can get some minor league pitching at the deadline. Selling off guys like Bader, France, Vasquez and Castro might be able to get us some AA SP depth. It's clear we need better pitching help and we know the Twins aren't going to pay for it.

    It's becoming pretty clear something is off with Ober. He's giving up 3-4 HR per start and his velo is down 1-2 mph. When he only throws 91 to begin with, he can't get away with losing 2 mph on his pitches. We should try to trade him before his value tanks anymore. I'm afraid we've seen the best of Ober already.... Wentz needs to go and I highly doubt the new waiver wire pickups from MIA will be any better. Why do they keep dumpster diving other teams cast offs instead of giving Adams a shot? He's already on the 40 man. It's time to see if these young pitchers are going to be viable major leagues or not.

    The fact that the twins keep picking up pitchers from the waiver wire who have been released by even worse teams than us shows how desperate we are to find pitching...
  6. LambchoP
    He is the best player on our team this year for sure. It's just too bad that he's the best player on a bad team....
  7. LambchoP
    Forearm strain for Morris, tommy John surgery coming? It would explain the struggles this year. Our pitching prospects have pretty much all had rough years so far. At least some of our position players are looking good. Gonzalez and Culpeper are playing like they want a shot at MLB next year!
  8. LambchoP
    I think if you can't face a lineup more than twice or go past the fifth inning, you won't last as a starter, nor should you. This teams pitching was keeping us relevant up until now. The pitching has collapsed along with the defense and hitting. Some major roster shake up needs to happen.
  9. LambchoP
    I wish they would give Eeles a shot. He could replace Bride on the roster until Keaschal is back. In the OF they could potentially improve the offense by dumping Keirsey for Mccusker or eventually E Rodriguez or Gabby Gonzalez who has had a great year. Keirsey adds nothing to this team. At least Bride pitches lol....
  10. LambchoP
    I wonder what we might be able to get for France and/or Bader at the deadline? Both have been great defensively and have both hit better than expected.
  11. LambchoP
    Nice to see Gonzalez and Culpeper having great seasons and making it to AA. I think Gabby has a shot to get to AAA by seasons end. DeBarge and Amick have looked good down in A ball as well. Now if we could just get some of our upper level pitchers going we'd have some options for the big league club....
  12. LambchoP
    Wentz needs to be let go. We have Adams who has been one of the few successful AAA pitchers we have this year. Call him up and give him innings in the pen. It's past time to start seeing this so called pitching pipeline. Offensively, Keirsey and Bride need to go. They are clearly not a part of the Twins' long term plans, so why not give some of our prospects a shot? I'd like to see Eeles take Brides place, at least until Keaschal is back. In the OF, Keirsey could be replaced by Mccusker. It's too bad Martin is still hurt, he was doing well.is there any timeline for his return?
  13. LambchoP
    I'd like to see him replace Keirsey on the roster. Keirsey is another left handed OF bat who can't hit. He's just a late game defensive sub and pinch runner. And not even a good pinch runner as he gets caught stealing way too much. Why not give Mccusker a shot and platoon him with Wallner in RF?
  14. LambchoP
    If he's really that great, he probably won't be available to us. I do like the idea of investing in high level college arms, particularly starters. We've seen how quickly a rotation can fall apart and depth being tested. You can never have too much pitching. Let's load up on arms. The more guys we develop, the better chance we have of some of them working out.
  15. LambchoP
    If Buxton doesn't make the all star team that is just sad. The all stars aren't even picked for being the best players of the current year anymore but basically picked by popularity meaning large market teams will get way more influence than small to mid market clubs. Typical baseball though....
  16. LambchoP
    It's really nice to see some guys at A+ really putting up some good numbers. Culpeper, DeBarge, Winokur and Gonzalez before he moved up to AA. I wonder when Culpeper gets his promotion. The pitching side of things hasn't looked as promising. I think we should look to acquire some more SP at the trade deadline and off-season. Of course I'm not ready to give up on Raya, Morris or Lewis, they just look like they need more time in the minors. Raya especially probably needs to be sent down a level or two and try to get himself right.
  17. LambchoP
    What will it take to acquire either a young controllable SP or a young controllable 1b/3rd baseman? We also need a viable MLB catcher to pair with Jeffers next year. I'm hoping we get what we can for these guys on expiring contracts. Letting them walk for nothing at the end of the year is a complete waste. Some of these guys like Castro, Paddack, Coloumbe and Bader should have some real value, especially if packaged together with a prospect or two....
  18. LambchoP
    Wallner Correa and Bader have looked completely lost at the plate. If they keep on losing and are out of it come deadline time, they should sell off expiring contracts and let all the kids play. Audition some of our pitching prospects like Adams, Morris and Lewis along with guys like Mccusker, Eeles and may e E Rodriguez. See what we have in terms of starters for next year and see where we need to sign FA.
  19. LambchoP
    We don't need another catcher who will struggle to hit .200.....
  20. LambchoP
    What more do they need to see from Raya before moving him down to AAA and putting him in the pen? This year has been a disaster for him. At least we've got some you g offense going well like Gonzalez DeBarge and Culpeper.
  21. LambchoP
    They are not a playoff team this year. They should hold on to our prospects and get what they can for expiring contracts. Guys like Bader, Castro, France and Vasquez. Recoup something for these guys rather than lose them for nothing in the off-season.
  22. LambchoP
    Well, he's putting up better numbers than Correa this year, but then again so is Castro. 37 million well spent for a replacement level production. There needs to be some serious roster shake up this off-season. Can we get our new owners yet?!?
  23. LambchoP
    What have we got to lose? Keirsey and Bride can't hit. Call up Gasper and let him play second. Clemens has come back to earth. Lee can cover third. At least until Keaschal is back why not try it. May e with everyday playing time like he's getting in St Paul, he could start to provide some offense for this pathetic lineup.
  24. LambchoP
    Gonzalez playing like he wants an MLB debut next year! Glad Jenkins got a few hits. He needs to be playing everyday and if he's truly healthy, logging innings in center field. Anyone heard any updates on Austin Martin? It's like he ceased to exist after re injuring his hamstring. Olivar seems to have a decent bat, is he a legit catcher? We really need one at the MLB level to pair with Jeffers.
  25. LambchoP
    I wouldn't mind seeing Jax start to get some save opportunities. He strikes out WAY more guys than Duran which is what you need in a closer.
