  1. Is Emmanuel Rodriguez still hurt? I thought I read he was back again after jamming his thumb sliding into second.
  2. Nice to see Stewart, Gabriel Gonzalez and Emmanuel Rodriguez all healthy again. Getting Stewart back will be a real boon for our pen down the stretch and into the playoffs. Hopefully Topa can follow suit.
  3. It's nice to see a young guy walking as much as striking out. He'll be a good player for us I'm sure, but he's still years away. I think Emmanuel Rodriguez will be the outfielder to look at for a call up next year if he keeps hitting like he has this year. Maybe eventually take over left field. Rodriguez, Buxton and Wallner is a pretty good OF.
  4. None of these guys. We need a playoff caliber starter and a lefty handed reliever. If we can get those, I'd be happy with our deadline. If we can get anything for Farmer and/or Margot, then all the better.
  5. Donaldson was a total dousche. Anyone else remember him getting ejected AFTER hitting a home run a few years back? That was so stupid, first time I'd ever seen that!
  6. I think our offense is good enough. What we need is an impact starter who can take the rotation spot from Paddack and move Paddack to the bullpen the rest of the year. With him, Stewart and Topa, we've got plenty of righties. We need to find a solid late inning lefty and I'll feel good about our playoff chances. Need a starter and lefty reliever. If we can dump Farmer for anything at all, even better...
  7. Would be great to get Eovaldi, especially if the rangers agree to eat some of his salary. Robertson would be a nice upgrade to our bullpen, but I think we need a lefty more than righties. Theilbar has looked better lately, but I've got little to no trust in Funderburk or Okert in close games.
  8. I think we'll have enough righties in our bullpen. Duran, Jax, Stewart, Alcala, Topa...maybe Varland or Paddack. What we need is a high octane lefty. Oh, and a playoff caliber starter would really help too.
  9. Having both Larnach and Wallner hitting well makes it a little easier to whether a trade of Kepler. All three are lefties, although Kepler is a better defender than all of them. Not to mention we also have Keirsey playing real well in AAA who can play all three OF spots. Both Martin and Castro are decent defenders. Plus we have Em Rodriguez coming up... Good depth is a nice problem to have! We got some trade options if we want to go for a pitcher this year, which we should
  10. I'd be all in on Eovaldi. I think the only way we bring on his contract is if we can find someone to take on Kepler, Farmer maybe Margot to open up some payroll ....would still rather have Crochet or Luzardo but either one of them is going to be extremely costly prospect wise.
  11. I'd say trade Farmer for anything at all if we can, otherwise cut ties and be done. We've got enough infielders and if we need another one due to injury, Severino has a hot bat in AAA
  12. I think a solid lefty in the rotation could help in a number of ways. Same for a high leverage lefty reliever. I don't see the Twins spending or taking on any big contracts, but if we could get a decent starter and move Paddack to the bullpen I'd feel good about our pitching staff.
  13. 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...
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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..
  17. Didn't Morneau have a 4 hr game once? I want to say it was in Chicago against the White Sox...
  18. 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...
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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
