    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?
  2. 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.

    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....

    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.

    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....
  6. 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.
  7. LambchoP
    We don't need another catcher who will struggle to hit .200.....
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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?!?
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. LambchoP
    Another pathetic performance by the lineup but pitching wise, why the hell did Rocco pull SWR after five innings and only 53 pitches? The dude had only given up one hit?!
  15. LambchoP
    How many times have we seen guys on first and second with no outs, only to quickly see a pop out/ strikeout quickly followed by a double play grounder to SS? Bring back the bunt. When your offense is struggling as bad as we are, you need to manufacturer runs. Rocco's unwillingness to change up game plans is killing this team. Twins need a true reset. New owners, new manager and a roster shake up ...
  16. LambchoP
    Adams keeps pitching well. If SWR gets lit up again today I think they should give Adams a chance in the rotation. DeBarge with 35 SB already?! Is he leading the league in steals? It would be fun to have a threat like that on the major league team. I'm a bit bummed they called up Keirsey to fill Lewis' roster spot. There was really nobody better that could actually help produce a little offense? We need hits and rbi's more than we need a pinch runner. Would have rather seen Eeles get a shot. Any news on Austin Martin? He re hurt his hamstring awhile back and we have heard anything in a long time. He was having a solid year at AAA before the IL placement....
  17. LambchoP
    Unless we somehow go on a winning streak before the deadline, I expect the team to do a bit of both. Probably look to sell on guys that have expiring contracts while at the same time, see if we can pick up some major league talent for next year. That's what they should do, but we all know they'll probably pick up a waiver wire arm and call it a day, citing all the "returning talent" as just as good as a trade lol. This team has no fight at all, and you can't really blame them when it all starts with ownership looking to do the bare minimum on a bare minimum budget.
  18. LambchoP
    Gonzalez has looked great even after his promotion to AA. Now let's see what Culpeper can do there, I think he's proved enough at A+.
  19. LambchoP
    I'm starting to wonder if Lewis will ever be a viable starter. With all of his leg injuries, he can't even run to first base without pulling something. If there is any kind of market for him at all, I'd see what we could get for him. Lee seems to be coming around, and with guys like Clemens and Keaschal, I think we have infielders aplenty.
  20. LambchoP
    Doesn't look like the Twins have any viable pitching candidates in AAA right now. If Ober goes on the IL, which is looking more and more likely, the Twins are in real trouble. They're going to need to try to acquire one or two starters from outside the organization. Maybe one trade and one dumpster dive waiver wire pickups? Either way, the deep "pitching pipeline" surplus myth has been debunked. There truly is no such thing as having enough pitching.
  21. LambchoP
    A week ago I would have said we were wasting a roster spot on Bride. Of course now with the utter collapse of our rotation,Bride has pitched three times in the past week or so. Apparently we don't need a long man in our pen, we need a position player to pitch in blowouts to save our real relief pitchers. This is getting really sad...
  22. LambchoP
    Sure looks like Ober isn't right and there will probably be an IL trip soon. Our rotation, which was a supposed strength with plenty of depth, has very quickly fallen apart. With no solid AAA options, and dumpster diving the waiver wire for bullpen innings, I think we may need to kiss the playoffs goodbye.
  23. LambchoP
    I think we will see Morris and/or Maccaghen before anyone from outside the organization. I do think that at least one veteran SP is going to be acquired if the Twins decide they want to try to chase a wildcard spot. A rotation of Ryan, Paddack, Festa and SWR is not only not good enough, but it will blow out our bullpen by August probably.
  24. LambchoP
    Well, at least we got something for him, he was going to be released for nothing anyway. Now we have another lefty in the pen who can give us some length. I hope it works out. Plus, now we have an open 40 man roster spot to play with ...
  25. LambchoP
    Twins have a few guys on expiring contracts that we could probably get some value for. Vasquez, Castro, Bader, France. I highly doubt any of these guys will resign with us next year, maybe we can do a little buying AND selling this deadline?
