  1. Taj Bradley has some nasty stuff. When is the last time the Twins had a SP that could hot 100mph? If he can tighten up his control a bit, he could be a fun guy to watch this year. I know it's still the first series, but so far Lee has not looked good at all. He looks lost and can't seem to hold off breaking balls down in the zone. At the same time, Culpeper went 3-5 in game one and hit a 3 run HR in game two. If it continues like this I think you need to make a move. Call up Culpeper to start at SS and let Lee be the infield utility guy who can cover 2nd, SS and 3rd.
  2. Looks like Ryan, Buxton, Keaschal and any top prospect debuts will be some of the few reasons to watch this year. I'm worried game one will be an indication of the season. Poor situational hitting and a daily pounding off our bullpen guys:(
  3. I'd like to see Festa in the pen. We need some quality RH arms out there. If they are worried about SP depth they should sign Giolito. I'm sure this late in the spring he would agree to sign with us for pretty cheap. It would also signal to the fans that ownership does actually want to compete this year.
  4. I'm more excited about seeing the debut of some of our prospects this year. Rodriguez, Jenkins, Gonzalez, Culpeper. If these guys have success along with Keaschal and a rebound from one of Lewis or Lee, our lineup could be fun to watch. As far as pitching goes.....:(
  5. I'm just hoping to see the next wave of young talent get an extended run of playing time. I'm anticipating another sell off at the deadline and I hope we do well with the players we get back, and not acquire more redundant players or positions like LH outfielders!
  6. The team did nothing to improve their defense or rebuild the bullpen that was torn apart at the deadline last year. And yet they are trying to say we are going to compete this year. Total incompetence. Hopefully we get the right kind of player returns at the deadline. I'm guessing Ryan, Jeffers and maybe even Buck will be gone. If we can get some quality, near MLB ready, young athletic, controllable pieces back we might be in a better place in a year or two.
  7. This season should be not about chasing a wildcard spot, but debuting and assessing our prospects and young talent. They need to figure out which of our vets need to go and how many and which of our young guys are ready for everyday starts. That way in the off-season we can start to actually construct a functional roster.
  8. He just needs experience. He has missed so much development time due to injuries. Hopefully he can put together close to a full season of at bats and log a lot of OF innings this year.
  9. They should be trying to trade Jackson and Larnach for some RH relief help. We need someone who can handle the late innings and protect the rare leads we might have:)
  10. The roster management for this team has been terrible. At least we're trying to shop Jackson but I doubt they'll be any takers. Maybe we can package Larnach and Jackson and get some RH bullpen help. Or a legit backup SS?
  11. I'm just hoping for health and full seasons for these guys. Prelipp, Hill, Quick, Soto. We have some interesting arms if we can develop them right.
  12. Hopefully Culpeper mashes in AAA and forces a call up to the bigs. Then Lee can be our utility guy covering 2nd, SS and 3rd.
  13. K pepper is a real exciting player. I hope we get to see some of him in the bigs this year along with Gonzalez, Jenkins and Rodriguez.
  14. Abel and Bradley have looked the best so far. If they keep pitching well they should start in the rotation with Zebby being the first man up from AAA. Roden has cooled down a bit but I'd much rather see him and Martin on the team over Outman. The bullpen is where I have no clue what they're going to do...
  15. We have too many DH type guys on the roster. We really should have made some trades by now to better organize the roster and open some playing time for some of our top prospects.
  16. Hopefully he starts at AAA and keeps hitting like he has. A young controllable SS who has 20/20 potential and can hit for AVG would be HUGE!
  17. Abel has been lights out this Spring. If he can continue pitching like this into the regular season, we just may have another Joe Ryan on our hands:)
  18. You lost me at "one of the best hitters in baseball". I think this year is Wallner's last chance to prove he's our guy. With so many young OF fighting for playing time, he needs to put up those big power numbers everyone seems to think he's capable of. He should probably be a DH only at this point too...
  19. Just cut the K rate down and stay healthy. A full season at the top levels should give a good idea on what kind of player he can be.
  20. At least we had Ryan in his peak. I think when we're fighting CWS for last place at the trade deadline the conversation should be about what kind of return can we get for Ryan. Not to mention Jeffers and maybe even Buxton.
  21. Adams never showed much, even out of the pen. Hopefully some of these minor league signings can produce some useable arms. I'm worried our pen is going to be a disaster:(
  22. I think you could add Wallner to the cold list. He looks lost at the plate. With so many younger more athletic OF fighting for playing time, this might be a last chance to stick year for Wallner and Larnach. With Roden, Outman, Martin, E Rod, Jenkins and Gonzalez all eventually needing playing time, I think time is running out for those two guys. Especially since they should be dh only at this point.
