    Hopefully Lopez starts to warm up. We can't have our bullpen worn out by May....I think Paddack has one more start to prove he belongs. If he bombs again, we may see Zebby, which is a good move imo. A message needs to be sent to this team. Dumping Gasper and Julien for Keaschal and Martin might help as well...

    With an arm like that I think I keep him a starter. He has ace level potential. Pairing him with Mathews, Festa, Morris, Raya, Soto and Lewis. Our SP prospects down the road look pretty good. Of course so.e of these guys will end up in the pen eventually. The way the season has gone so far, it looks like the pen may throw more innings than the rotation, meaning we're going to need a few long men to pitch multiple innings in relief. If Prelipp dominates AA for awhile, maybe he gets his debut in the pen throwing 2-3 innings piggybacking the starters. Or just move him to St Paul and keep him on a starters schedule. Whatever keeps him healthy, the Twins aren't a playoff team this year anyways

    I know it's only ten games, but I think a message needs to be sent. Give Zebby Paddack's rotation spot and move him to the pen. Demote Gasper and or Julien and call up Keaschal and Martin. Show this team that results are expected and if you're not doing your job, someone else will get a chance to do it. This team has no energy or fire and it shows. No leadership, no direction. Total mess, really sad. Other coaches get the best out of their players. Seems like we get the absolute worst version of our guys. What's the deal with Correa? If he hits like this while costing the team 37 million? Lol?! It's not like you can send him to AAA. IL most likely, but then who plays SS?
  4. LambchoP
    With the disasterous start to the Twins season, I think pretty soon here Zebby should take Paddack rotation spot and move Paddack to the pen as a long man. If Keaschal keeps hitting they should call him up to play second base everyday. Julien or Gasper can go down to AAA. With Keaschal at 2nd, Lee can take over 3rd base until Lewis comes back. This would help our terrible defense too.
  5. LambchoP
    He sure has been fun to watch so far. This team needs guys like this that give 100 percent and play with energy. The rest of the team looks like they are just counting down the innings until they can go home and go to bed..... Too bad Eeles is hurt, I really thought he had a good chance of being a spark plug type guy this year. Is there any return timeframe for him yet?
  6. LambchoP
    He has unfortunately turned into a one dimensional player. His defense is bad, base running is bad. All he's got is his bat, meaning he might end up being an everyday DH. Even then, you still have to run the bases. If he can't do that even without getting hurt, he might best serve this team by getting traded. Maybe he comes back from the IL and goes on an absolute tear for a month. Maybe someone like the Yankees or Mets will give us a top prospect for him before he eventually gets hurt again.
  7. LambchoP
    Wow, none of these guys would look good on a major league roster. Hopefully Lee and Lewis will be back soon to replace Julien and Gasper. That'd be a start. Then, if Paddack continues to struggle I'd put him in the pen as a long man and give his rotation as spot to Zebby.
  8. LambchoP
    Starters are not pitching deep into games which is going to tax our pen too much. Looks like we need one, probably two long men in the pen if this is going to continue. I think some combo of Dobnak, Mccaghan and Paddack in the pen with Zebby taking his rotation spot would be best. Stewart getting healthy or signing Robertson to a one year deal would certainly benefit up the pen as well. After the disasterous start to the season I don't see us spending any money on free agents unfortunately:(
  9. LambchoP
    So far Dobnak has looked better than Paddack. Glad Lee is on a rehab assignment, if he's healthy and can start hitting he should be an immediate replacement for Julien or Gasper. If Zebby has another strong outing today I would seriously consider calling him up too.
  10. LambchoP
    What's most worrying is that it's not one thing, it's everything. The pitching, the offense, the little league defense. I'd give Paddack one more start, if he can't throw a quality start then demote him to long man in the pen and call up Zebby. Gasper and Julien need to go. Not sure what's up with Brock Stewart, I thought he was still throwing even when placed on the IL, why isn't he on a rehab assignment? At least Lee is playing again, even though he went 0-3 with 2 strikeouts against A ball pitching:(. Team needs to figure things out, and quick ..
  11. LambchoP
    Think it's safe to say Castro doesn't belong at third. I get that Rocco is obsessed with utility guys, but he should be playing second or left field, otherwise he's a liability. With Julien and France already defensive liabilities on the right side, we can't afford it. I say give Paddack one more start. If he can't get through the fifth inning then send him to the pen as long man and call up Zebby. Our pen cannot pitch more than half the game every day. Hopefully we can get some wins in KC otherwise we're quickly going to find ourselves in a hole we can't get out of. Glad to hear Lee is on a rehab assignment. Hopefully he hits well and can replace Julien on the MLB roster.
  12. LambchoP
    He seems pretty cocky for a guy in his 20's who can't play even half a season without pulling or straining something. Don't get me wrong, Lewis can have MVP type stretches that can really help this team. I just think we have to accept him for what he is. A very good player with great power, who will most likely play 60-80 games per year.
  13. LambchoP
    The whole team looks to have no confidence. No fire or passion either. It is way too early for most of our guys to be "just going through the motions". At least Buxton and Bader seems to be trying to light a fire and wake everyone up. Correa figuring things out at the plate would really help. Getting Lewis back should Inject some passion as well, but the fact we still don't have an update on him or a timeline worries me that it might be long term like last year. Yesterday's win was nice,but we've got to find a way to wake up and string some quality games together before we dig ourselves a hole we can't get out of.
  14. LambchoP
    I'm not too high on Julien I think when Lee is activated Julien should go to St Paul and try to get his swing going. He's also an absolute butcher at second base so he's really going to need to hit well to justify a roster spot. Too early to give up on him, but I'm not optimistic.
  15. LambchoP
    Just really good seeing Jenkins and Prelipp healthy and playing games. Dasan Hill looks like he has the stuff of a future ace. Hopefully we keep him healthier than some of our other prospects. Between him and Prelipp we might have a new age Santana Liriano in our future rotation ;). At the very least they could end up relief weapons, maybe closers.
  16. LambchoP
    Great to get a win at home,but saw some concerning trends. Our starters need to be more efficient and get deeper in games. If Varland, Dobnak or Mcgaughan have to come in during the fifth inning so often, our pen is going to be taxed way too early. The low velo from Ryan and Ober doesn't bother me too much unless it continues for much longer. Could just be the cold weather. Our offense is what troubles me. Correa has what, two hits? And they were both grounders. He needs to get going and quick. Even in our wins, we only had one inning where we score more than a run at a time. At least it's good to see Buck looking like his old self. If he can stay on the field he may swipe 20 bags this year :)
  17. LambchoP
    Correa is my biggest worry. He has a history of slow starts sure, but between spring and this season so far, he's got like 3 hits in like a month and a half. What's more concerning is every time he makes contact it's seemingly a grounder to SS. While it's good he's not striking out a lot, he's got to get the ball in the air more. I sure hope he can get things going because without a productive Correa we are doomed.
  18. LambchoP
    As others have said, the team just looks "dead". No fire, no fight. Guys aren't having fun or playing loose. It sure looks like they're just going through the motions. If they get bad results, oh well, no biggy, jog back to the bench. No consequences. Bader seems like someone who is trying to ignite some life into the team. Buck can do this too when he's going good. I really think the lineup is going to need a shake up at the deadline if we're still in the race. If not, the off-season. We going to need a real first baseman. Luke Keaschal should take over second as soon as he's able to play the field everyday. We also need a catcher that can hit. I love all this pitching depth, but we're going to have to give up something to get some offensive pop unless new ownership goes out and signs and impact player or two.
  19. LambchoP
    Both Dobnak and Mccaghan have looked good in their long relief roles. My guess is the Twins will rotate the two of them back and forth as long men. At least until Stewart comes back. When that happens I could see Varland getting sent to AAA rather than our long man. The way the season has started, looks like we really need a guy in the pen that can give us length and Varland has looked way too hittable so far
  20. LambchoP
    The balk and then bringing the infield in cost us two runs. Not that it matters if your lineup can't score runs. I am worried about Correa. Didn't hit all spring and now he's 2-25? Seems like every at bat is a ground out to SS. He needs to get going, like Buck. It was nice to see him get some hits and even steal a base. Pitching wise we look ok. Other than Varland our pen has been decent. I'm not sold on Louie. A guy with that kind of velo shouldn't be getting hit so hard. Problem is I think his fastball is flat. Plus, he doesn't have any good secondary pitches, so hitters can just sit on the heater. He needs to get the curve or slider to work otherwise I fear he won't last.
  21. LambchoP
    To me it looks like Miranda is maybe pressing, trying to hard to earn a lineup spot. He needs to be much more selective at the plate. Unless he absolutely breaks out this year, I don't see him being a part of our long term plans. Not with Lewis and Lee returning from injury. I was thinking if Miranda can up his value a bit by the trade deadline we package him and a young starter, maybe Raya for some offensive help. First baseman maybe, if France doesn't come around. Sounds like MountCastle is available. Not sure if he's a straight rental or has control remaining?
  22. LambchoP
    Everyone in twins territory knows we need new owners. I was hoping the sale would go through early this year so that if we need a few pieces at the trade deadline, new ownership could ok a bit of a splash to get fans on their side. Looks like that won't be happening. There's always next year right? Vlad is looking for a new team lol ....
  23. LambchoP
    St Paul starters are looking great so far. Festa, Mathews, Morris and Lewis. Nice to finally have some pitching depth. Who is this Morales guy? Saw him racking up hits in ST. Think he's a Castro type guy in the field playing multiple IF spots and corner OF spots. I wonder if he'll be a call up option when we need an infielder and Keaschal isn't available?
  24. LambchoP
    Bader better not be on the bench today. Rocco being Rocco though, I wouldn't be surprised.
  25. LambchoP
    Really hoping for a healthy and full season from Jenkins. I'm not worried about the power. If he continues to hit well and rack up doubles, I'm sure the home runs will come too. He's still super young, just needs to play. Same with Prelipp. He reminds me of Canterino. Might have some of the best stuff in our system but hasn't been able to pitch enough. If he can stay healthy all year and continue racking up the strikeouts, he could be another solid weapon in our pen. Left handed too!
