  1. I really wish Canterino could get his health issues figured out. He has looked absolutely dominant at every level he's pitched at. Dude just can't stay on the field though. I believe we have him for two more years after this year, so there's still time, but it's running out...
  2. I also like Martin and hope they don't send him down. On the other hand, he hardly ever plays. I'd like to see him over Margot any day. Same with Lee or Castro over Farmer. If we can get anything at all for them, even cash considerations, it would be worth it just for the roster spots.
  3. Nice to see E Rodriguez back in action. If he keeps hitting like he did before the injury I could see a late season promotion to St Paul.
  4. Sure Presley would be nice, I just don't see the Twins taking on that type of contract. I expect one or two trades for relief help, hopefully a lefty. I'd really like a starter, but I think that's a bit of a pipe dream..
  5. Didn't Morneau have a 4 hr game once? I want to say it was in Chicago against the White Sox...
  6. It was basically a formality since he has already been out 60 days. He just threw his second bullpen yesterday and I read if he feels good today, he'll be starting a rehab assignment next week. Same situation for Topa. Both these guys would be great to have in our bullpen. Especially Stewart, if he can pitch like he did before the injury. I'm not quite sure what to expect from Topa...
  7. Anyone else a little worried about Walker Jenkins? It seems he's being used as a DH almost as much as he's playing the field. Is he still nursing the hamstring? Is it a different injury? His performance when he is on the field is nothing close to what it was last year. He's still young, hopefully the further he gets from the injury he'll start to have better at bats and figure things out
  8. Mathews and Morris should start the year at AAA next year and possibly earn a call up at some point if they continue to have success. Both these guys should be untouchable at the trade deadline. I'd rather offer Raya or anyone in the lower minors like Soto, Lewis or Culpeper
  9. We really need Pablo to start figuring things out, we need him in top form for our series' against the Guardians. I hate to keep ripping on Rocco but man, WHY send Winder out for that second inning? Even I knew he looked cooked. And even worse, you pinch hit for a guy who has TEN STRAIGHT HITS? Said he wanted to get him off his feet...he was DH'ing today! Really wish we had a real manager with some common sense.
  10. Hopefully the Twins can load up on some pitching talent. Maybe work there magic like they did on Ober and turn a mid to late round pick into a viable starter. SP are getting more and more expensive and overpriced, so developing our own is the best way to piece together a winning rotation.
  11. Scott or Garcia would be great. We should be getting Stewart and Topa back soon so we're set on righties. All we need is a solid lefty to replace Theilbar or Funderburk and our bullpen is in good shape
  12. I know Margot had a decent June, but I still say it's long past due we try to trade him for whatever we can get or DFA him. His defense is not even good enough to rely on, he's made way too many errors as a glove first fourth outfielder. Give his roster spot to Wallner or Keirsey. No reason to keep Margot around anymore,he's a liability.
  13. I'd take Cruz for sure. Good strikeout reliever for real cheap with years of control. Miller would be a great weapon to have, but not at the cost of gutting our farm system. I think we need a good lefty more than anything. I know Aroldis Chapman's having a down year, but he still could be good for us down the stretch. Definitely an improvement over Theilbar or Funderburk.
  14. I don't think we need any more position players. Our guys are hitting great and we have solid hitters in AAA ready to go. What we need is pitching. Both a starter and one or two relievers. With Stewart and Topa going on a rehab assignment next week, we probably won't buy too much. I'm hoping for at the very least a solid lefty for our pen.
  15. Man, it sure looks like Varland is cooked as a starter. Long past due to stick him in the bullpen and see if his stuff plays up like it did last year. Anyone know why or how Varland was able to come back out to pitch in the second inning when he was relieved in the first inning? Or did I read that wrong? Either way, move Louie to the pen ASAP...
  16. Ober and Pablo have been stellar last few starts. If we could only swing s trade for one more playoff caliber starter I think we'll be legit contenders!
  17. I like the Tyler Anderson move. If not him, have Estevez as a fall back. He'd be a good late inning guy for us.
  18. Zebby and Morris are both pitching like they want a rotation spot with the Twins. If they can continue to pitch well they could very well earn a September call up to AAA. Then if they can start there next year and pitch well, we could be seeing them in the bigs September of 25 or possibly making the team out of spring training in 26:)
  19. Hopefully they can find a trade partner for Kepler and get some kind of return for him, rather than just losing him for nothing. We can replace him well enough this year with Martin, Wallner or even Keirsey who can play all three OF positions.
  20. Our offense is fine, what we need is pitching. A playoff caliber starter with at least another year of control. Not a lot of those available, and the few there are, are going to be very expensive. We could also use some bullpen help. Someone like Aroldis Chapman to replace Theilbar should be had pretty cheap. Then maybe another leverage set up type arm with another year or two of control would be great. I just don't see the twins doing much this year. Too gun shy after the few horrible deadline trades last few years...
  21. I'd love to get Luzardo too, but it wouldn't help the team now as you said since he's injured. We would've getting him for next year and hoping for a rebound. Maybe he could pitch in the playoffs this year, but with his struggles all year I doubt the Twins would trust him starting important games...
  22. I think Festa should get one more start to see if he can do any better. His stuff looks great, just needs to command it better. If they send him down, and Paddack still isn't ready, I think Varland will get another few spot starts which worries me. He should be in the bullpen. We're short on reliable starters though. Mathews and Morris are still in AA. We need a good starter at the deadline, and not just a rental either. One impact starter and at least one solid reliever, preferably two and at least one lefty. That would be a successful deadline in my book. I doubt Twins do much of anything though. Maybe they can get a decent reliever for Kepler?
  23. Unfortunately I think it's looking more and more like Lewis is a "Buxton 2.0". Immensely talented, capable of carrying the whole team for weeks at a time, but injured WAY too often. Hoping for a quick and successful recovery, we'll need him for the playoffs if we get there. On a positive note, at least we got Brooks Lee to fill in. Nice to see him get two hits and an RBI in his debut:)
