    Good solid win for the boys. I'm still a bit worried about our problem hitting with RISP. Especially bases loaded. How many times have we seen guy on 2nd nobody out, and we end the inning without even moving the guy to third. Even worse, bases loaded nobody out, with no runs to show for it. Frustrating to watch but with Lewis and Miranda back soon with Correa to follow, I'm hoping this will improve a bit:)

    If they can get Kikuchi without giving up too much, I like it. He'd probably just take Paddacks spot in the rotation and then IF Paddack pitches again this year, he'll be in the bullpen. I still think we need a good lefty for our pen as well.
  3. LambchoP
    We need Royce, Miranda and Correa back. Them plus adding Stewart and maybe Topa to our bullpen will also be key. Of course it would help out a TON of we could grab z TOR starter and at least one solid lefty reliever at the trade deadline:)
  4. LambchoP
    Will be interesting to see who they call up to take Paddacks rotation spot. My guess is Festa. Hopefully he can do a bit better than his first call up. Zebby sure does look like the real deal and should compete for a rotation spot next year for sure, if not sooner. As someone else said above, I definitely would have rather seen Severino get the call up over Diego Castillo. At least Severino can run into a few home runs....

    Everytime I see Rocco pinch hit and send Margot out there I just shake my head. The dude can't pinch hit. Literally, not one PH all year. Not to mention his defense in the outfield, which was supposedly a strength, has been atrocious. I like Castro,but he's not a shortstop. I have to believe Lee would be a much better defender there, since that's where he mostly played all year in AAA.

    Don't look now, but the Royals are only one game out from taking our second wild card spot. If we're not careful, Twins could miss the playoffs entirely. Imo, if we are to both make the playoffs AND win a series, we're going to need a solid starter for the rotation, and then at least one lefty and one righty for the bullpen. Maybe most important, get everyone healthy again and keep them healthy. That's a lot of IF's....
  7. LambchoP
    Our so called manager needs to stop pinch hitting and removing starting players from the game in the fifth or sixth innings. Sure, you get a better matchup for that one at bat. But then your stuck with guys like Margot at a disadvantage for the rest of the game. Offense looked completely lifeless today, like they were on autopilot or something. Hopefully we can wake up and get a win today.
  8. LambchoP
    Nice to see both Morris and Prelipp getting some good results. Hopefully Morris can keep it up and join Zebby as our top pitching prospects. I'm not ready to give up on Festa either. St Paul has a real good looking roster. No clue why the twins decided on a third catcher in Camargo and Diego Castillo to get called up. How about Keirsey, Severino or anyone else that might have some upside?
  9. LambchoP
    Hopefully he can give us some competitive at bats and at least average defense until the team gets healthy again. If we can get Royce, Lee, Miranda, Correa and Buxton all healthy and producing.....we should be able to catch Cleveland. Of course that also depends on our pitching not falling apart, which is a real possibility:(
  10. LambchoP
    We're going to need to field our best players and do whatever it takes to win as many as we can against the Guardians. That means get everyone healthy and not sit any of our stars those days. If we can win the division we'd be in a much better position than just taking the second wildcard spot.
  11. LambchoP
    I still don't understand Raya being ranked so high on prospect lists. He seems like a pitcher destined for the bullpen who can't seem to find the strike zone and gives up more hits than innings pitched. Josh Winder also looks cooked which is too bad. Mathews and Keaschal on the other hand, have been great to follow this year.
  12. LambchoP
    As far as our infield goes, I think they need to put either Miranda or Lewis at 1b with the other playing 3rd. An infield of Miranda at 1st, Lee at 2nd, Correa at SS and Lewis at 3rd. Julien can backup and platoon 1b/3rd and Castro or Martin can backup up the middle. Santana will be gone after this year so putting one of Lewis or Miranda at first might be the only way to get all their bats in the lineup at once.
  13. LambchoP
    Twins just need to get everyone healthy first. Then, keep them healthy for the playoffs. Also, when we play our games against the Guardians, Rocco better not decide it's the perfect time to give random days off to Buxton, Miranda, Correa and Lewis. We won't win those must win games running out a lineup of Vasquez, Margot and Farmer....
  14. LambchoP
    Would love for them to grab some pitching, lefties in particular. Not holding my breathe for any major moves though. They'll mostly roll with what they have, saying we have enough talent coming off the IL in the second half. This is probably true for the lineup if we get everyone back and they stay healthy. The pitching however, I don't think will be enough
  15. LambchoP
    Raya starting tomorrow. What's the over under on innings pitched? 2, maybe 3? I really think they need to stretch him out to see if he can be a starter still. If not, trade him while he's still at least listed as a starter and somehow still a top prospect.
  16. LambchoP
    I don't know, do we need another 4-5 type starter. Seems a bit redundant, he's got similar numbers to Paddack. I do love the fact he's a lefty, and he's controllable forever. But, because of his years of control we're going to have to give up a decent piece and I just don't think we should be trading away assets except to UPGRADE the rotation.
  17. LambchoP
    Both these guys should help with the playoffs push. Prefer Flaherty over Kikuchi, but both could take the rotation spot of Paddack down the stretch so we could stick him in the bullpen like last year. Of course that plan depends on the rotation staying healthy the rest of the way. Twins are one or two injuries away from starting Festa Dobnak or Boushley...
  18. LambchoP
    I see a sad trend in these lists. Incredibly productive when healthy, but injuries have piled up year after year and affected overall numbers...:(
  19. LambchoP
    What really matters at the end of the day are ACTUAL numbers. He's been ok,not great. He's still young though, he'll be fine. My biggest worry is health. This team seems to have a really hard time keeping their stars and prospects on the field....
  20. LambchoP
    True, we'd most likely have to package Kepler with one or two other prospects. I just figured he'd be one of the most expendable since his contract is up and we have Wallner, Larnach, Castro, Martin, Keirsey, E-Rod....
  21. LambchoP
    I think Raya is way too high based off his workload and performance so far. I say Zebby is our top pitching prospect. He has outperformed Festa and everyone else completely. I'm not too high on Gonzalez yet either, id like to see him start hitting more before putting him in top ten. Keaschal should be right up there with Lee and Rodriguez.
  22. LambchoP
    I think the only players we should be looking for to trade from the major league level would be Kepler, Margot, Farmer, Vasquez, Theilbar, Okert and Funderburk. Problem is, aside from Kepler, none of these guys have any real value. Meaning we would have to trade from our minor league talent and prospects. I'd say if we can package Julien with some other prospects like Festa or Raya to get a starting pitcher then we should do it.
  23. LambchoP
    I don't like it. Even if Julien may be blocked at 2nd base, they could give him reps at 1b too. Trading a controllable infielder with great bat control who has been much better lately for an aging reliever would be a terrible idea. If we do trade Julien, it should be him as part of s package of prospects to get a solid starting pitcher
  24. LambchoP
    Hopefully Twins are able to sign most of these guys and then have them do well. You never really know, so hopefully we get lucky. Drafting guys and having them turn into productive, cheap and controllable MLB players is the only way this team will ever win a world series. They'll never have the money to go out and buy superstars so we need to create some of our own, like with Royce Lewis, Buxton and Miranda. Hopefully we can add Zebby to that list soon too. Would be nice to have an all-star type home grown ace on our team for once:)
  25. LambchoP
    Both Keaschal and Mathews seem like the real deal. Those two, plus Jenkins, Lee and Emmanuel Rodriguez should be off limits. Everyone else is fair game. If we can find a controllable TOR starting pitcher and/or a high impact lefty reliever we should pull the trigger and use some of our other prospects. A lot of them are positionally blocked anyways. Severino, Kiriloff, Larnach, Gabriel Gonzalez, Festa, Raya, Soto.... We have more than enough talent to put together a good prospect package.
