    Sure he'd be a great get,if we could afford him. I think we need a lefty more. Someone like Aroldis Chapman or something. Power arm to stick in lefty leverage situations. Theilbar needs to go ASAP, and I don't trust Okert or Funderburk.
  2. LambchoP
    Lee should be playing second base for the Twins. I also think now that Paddack is on the IL Festa should get a few spot starts. I don't trust Varland as a starter anymore and I think the should call him up to help in the bullpen. Until Duran figures some things out, Topa and Stewart get healthy, and we finally dump Theilbar, there's spots up for grabs... I think we need to grab a reliever or two at the deadline, preferably a lefty to replace Theilbar.

    Good news on Topa and Stewart, hopefully getting them back soon will help the pen a lot. Too bad about Canterino though. Iv always thought he had the best stuff out of all our minor league pitchers and would be a huge weapon in the bullpen. Sure sounds like he's done though, guy just can't stay on the field. Heck he can't even GET on the field. Do the twins give up on him and give his roster spot to someone else? I'm sure if he goes to another team he'll finally get healthy and become an all star closer lol...

    I think Zebby should get a late season AAA bump. Varland and Canterino need to be in the pen. If we ever get Topa, Stewart, Varland and Canterino in our bullpen it could be a good one. I think Bouschly or Festa should get a few spot starts while Paddack is down, but I'm guessing Varland will get one more chance.
  5. LambchoP
    Only starters we should go after are impact starters with another year of control at least. We have plenty of number 4 and 5 starters. What we need is a 1 or 2 at the top. If not the deadline, who's available this off-season. (That we could afford)?
  6. LambchoP
    I'd also like to see Lee take Farmers roster spot and have him play everyday at second. I'd like to see Keirsey Jr to see how he does but that's a long shot. My guess is they'll give Wallner another shot soon. I'd like to see Festa get a cup of coffee, dnd now is the time with Paddack on the IL. I don't trust Varland to start anymore, should put him in the BP.
  7. LambchoP
    Trade Farmer and Margot for whatever we can get. Then call up Lee and Keirsey. If we trade Kepler we might get a decent reliever. What we really need is starting pitching, like everyone else...
  8. LambchoP
    I like the idea of Festa getting the call and taking Paddacks spot in the rotation. Lee should also be called up while he's hitting so well. He can be our everyday 2nd baseman and spell Correa at short every now and then. I doubt we can get anything for them, but with this recent "hot streak" I think the Twins should get whatever they can for Farmer and Margot, even if just to open spots for Lee and Wallner/Keirsey Jr. Theilbar needs to go to. We need both a starting pitcher, and a leverage lefty reliever at the deadline.
  9. LambchoP
    Sure seems like Lee should replace Farmer in the bigs. He can be our second baseman and also spell Correa a few days to keep him healthy. This would also allow Castro to just focus on playing the outfield everyday. I think Zebby needs to get bumped up to AAA. Call up Festa and move Paddack to the bullpen. Varland sure looks cooked as a starter too, think it's time to move him to the bullpen. Severino looks real good lately. Tons of power, switch hitter. Don't look like he's going to have a position to play in the twins infield. Might be a good guy to build a trade package around while his value is high...
  10. LambchoP
    As far as the outfield goes, I don't get why Martin is not getting solid playing time. He's been hitting great since he was called back up. Especially with Kepler being hurt I'd rather see Martin out in right than Margot. An outfield of Castro Buxton and Martin looks pretty solid to me... Then you can continue to DH Larnach/Wallner.
  11. LambchoP
    If you're left handed and can get left handed hitters out, there will always be a team willing to give you a chance.
  12. LambchoP
    Twins won't take on these kind of contracts, nor should they. If we do get a SP which I really hope we do, it should be a younger starter with another year or more of control. We've got the AA and AAA talent, not to mention some major league guys who may be positionally blocked. I'm thinking a package of AK/Larnach/Wallner, Severino and another minor leaguers doing well this year should get us some pitching. Maybe work Kepler into that deal since he's gone this year anyways.
  13. LambchoP
    I think they should move Paddack to the bullpen and give his rotation spot to Varland. Give him one more chance to show he can be a starter. Give him one or two starts. If it doesn't go well, stick him in the bullpen and give Festa his shot. We really need a starter and a lefty bullpen arm at the deadline. Theilbar needs to go, he's just a wasted roster spot, and we can trust Okert or Funderburk in leverage situations...
  14. LambchoP
    Nice to see Pablo and Ober pitching that well, even though it was the A's. I think it's time to either IL Paddack or move him to the bullpen. Give his rotation spot to Festa for a few spot starts. Also think it's time to give up on Varland being a starter after giving up like 11 runs on Sunday. He should be able to help us more in short stints out of the bullpen like last year. Theilbar is a wasted roster spot, he needs to go. Give his spot to Paddack or Varland for now and then trade for a leverage lefty at the deadline. We could really use a good starter too. Would love to get Crochet or Luzardo but I really doubt it unfortunately.
  15. LambchoP
    I think Martin should be replacing Margot the rest of the way, recent hot streak not with standing. Maybe we can get something for him in a trade now. Call up Wallner and Lee. Move Paddack to the BP. Varland too. Give Festa a spot in the rotation for a few spot starts. Move Zebby to St Paul. Theilbar needs to go as well, and then look to grab a leverage lefty at the deadline.
  16. LambchoP
    He's our best player no doubt. I think next year will be the final challenge. You see a lot of stars come up, absolutely crush opposing pitching. But then the book and scouting report gets put out on them and they go through difficulties, aka sophomore slump. I think Lewis may be the one guy that there is no scout report on how to get him out. He hits everything! We just need to keep him healthy for a full season. We do that, I think he's a legit MVP candidate.
  17. LambchoP
    I think our defense in pretty solid, aside from second base and left field. I think we'll be fine at second once Lee gets his call up. Wallner will likely be our left fielder. Not the greatest fielder but has a cannon of an arm to make up for it I also think Martin should be getting more time in the outfield. These really young guys need to be playing everyday if we want them to finish their development properly.
  18. LambchoP
    Best move would be to pick up a SP with control like Crochet or Luzardo. Give the new addition Paddacks place in the rotation and move Paddack to the BP. If we don't aquire a starter, then call up Festa and do the same thing. Basically give Festa his cup of coffee and see if he needs more work in AAA or not. I still think Zebby is our best pitching prospect and should be untouchable in trades. Maybe a package of Kepler, Severino and minor league pitchers gets us a decent starter....?
  19. LambchoP
    Sure wish there were some updates on Stewart, Topa and Canterino. Seeing as we aren't really getting updates makes me think these guys are more hurt than initially thought. All three could have had a great impact on our bullpen. I think our best move now is to try to grab a starting pitcher with control at the deadline and move Paddack to the bullpen. Call up Festa and Varland and see who takes over a rotation spot. Move Zebby up to AAA, see what he can do in the Saints rotation. I really think he's our best pitching prospect and should be off limits in trade talks. Festa, Raya, Soto...sure,if it brings us cheap, impact pitching.
  20. LambchoP
    Looking like we've got a real good lineup down there in St Paul. Keirsey, Severino and Wallner hitting for power. Brooks Lee playing for a promotion. Will be interesting who the twins decide to keep and who can be trade bait. Everyone knows we need starting pitching. If Miranda will be our first baseman next year, does that make Severino expendable? Do they view Keirsey as a possible Kepler replacement? Wil be an interesting deadline:)
  21. LambchoP
    No. Removing Jax would cripple our bullpen. You don't remove your best reliever. Twins should just look to grab a starter with control at the deadline, and look for upgrades in the off-season. Maybe move Paddack to the bullpen if we can pick up a good starter with control.
  22. LambchoP
    Pitching is our weakness. I like the idea of moving Paddack in the bullpen and giving his rotation spot to Varland or Festa, with Zebby ready to go right behind them. We NEED to get an impact starter with control at the deadline like Luzardo or Crochet. We also need to dump Theilbar and get a solid lefty for our bullpen since we can't trust either Okert or Funderburk. Farmer and Margot should be gone too. Better options available in Saint Paul.
  23. LambchoP
    It's time to finally dump Margot and call up Wallner. Dudes got a league leading 18 home runs, give him a shot and see if he can continue raking in the bigs. Mathews is definitely our best pitching prospect and he needs to be promoted to AAA. Paddack has looked terrible lately. I like the idea of moving him to the bullpen as a long reliever and giving his spot to Varland or Festa, with Zebby waiting for his chance. Keaschal sure looks like a steal from the draft, he should be in AAA soon too. Same with E Rodriguez when he gets healthy. Wish we had some updates on Topa and Canterino. Both those guys could really help our bullpen....
  24. LambchoP
    None of these guys would help other than maybe Presley. But, if we're going to take on payroll it needs to be in the rotation. With Lopez struggling and both Ober and Paddack basically being un playable lately, Twins need at least one impact starter at a minimum. I think we could do a little addition by subtraction as well. Try to trade or dump Farmer, Margot and Theilbar. Call up Lee, Wallner and go after a SP with control and a leverage lefty for the bullpen. I doubt the Twins will do much of anything at the deadline though, it's pretty obvious this isn't our year. Don't have the starting pitching that carried us last year...
  25. LambchoP
    Sadly, it doesn't matter what he's done in the past, only what he's done this year. He looks cooked. There are other options out there.
