    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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!
  6. LambchoP
    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.
  7. LambchoP
    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:)
  8. LambchoP
    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.
  9. LambchoP
    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...

    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...
  11. LambchoP
    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?
  12. LambchoP
    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:)
  13. LambchoP
    With Royce Lewis unfortunately probably going on the IL I think it's time to call up Brooks Lee to man 2nd base. Miranda can continue to cover 3rd. Keirsey Jr really looks like he wants a shot at the bigs. Looks to me like he's proved everything he needs to in St Paul. Good average, good hr pop. Almost 20 stolen bases. Not to mention he can play great defense at all three outfield positions. That's valuable for a team. Kind of sounds like a better version of Martin if he can produce in the MLB like he has in AAA. Give him a shot, I'm sure he'd give us more than Margot, both offensively and defensively. My guess is when they need an OF they call up Wallner though, which wouldn't be the end of the world if he can limit his strikeouts.
  14. LambchoP
    Sadly Lewis is looking more and more like Buxton. Immensely talented, but cannot seem to stay on the field long enough to put up big numbers. With him probably going on the IL does Brooks Lee finally get the chance to play? Article states Brock Stewart is still a long ways from returning, but I read he's throwing one more bullpen on July 5th and then a rehab assignment next week. That sounds like he could be back in two to three weeks, which would be huge for our bullpen.
  15. LambchoP
    Buxtons bat finally has heated up too. But yeah, Correa has carried this offense all month,has been a lot of fun to watch. Too bad Lewis got hurt. If he goes on the IL will they just have Miranda play third and call up a pitcher, or will they call up Brooks Lee finally?
  16. LambchoP
    Trade him if we can get an impact starting pitcher with control. We'd have to package him with a prospect or two, but if it gets us a playoff starter it'd be worth it. If we can't get that, keep him. He'll be Kepler's replacement in right field next year.
  17. LambchoP
    He's the leader of our team. We got a good deal on the contract because of the giants and Mets opting out. Plus, we're not stuck with him for like ten eleven years. Six years with four team options, so if he declined horribly we can just opt out. A lot less risk. And msn he's fun to watch when he's playing like this:)
  18. LambchoP
    Seems to me the Twins have been obsessed with sliders the past few years. We've acquired a few guys and then immediately tried to have them throw way more sliders. Problem is if the location sucks, you get home runs. It's too bad the twins give up the most home runs in baseball, because if our starters could keep the ball in the park, we'd have one of the better staffs in the AL...
  19. LambchoP
    Agree with just about everyone here. We've got a good enough lineup with a few potential impact bats waiting in St Paul. With Royce going down last night, we may finally see Brooks Lee. I do think we need pitching help. Either go after an impact starter with control, or a solid lefty or set up arm. SP is going to cost a TON this year because of the market, but I don't think we have enough to do much more than a first round elimination. We've got plenty of number 3-6 type guys. We need someone at the top to start playoff games. Who that might be, I have no clue. Hopefully more teams decide they are going to sell in the next few weeks.
  20. LambchoP
    I don't think we'll be able to get either one, and it's looking like Luzardo wouldn't even help us much this year since he's struggling and Injured. I would package maybe Gabriel Gonzalez, Severino and Raya to get a good starter though. It would take way more than that for Crochet, but depending on what the other team wants, they might get us something. Remember I think we need relief help too.
  21. LambchoP
    Glad that Gabriel Gonzalez is playing again, even if he hasn't done much this year. Walker Jenkins has me a little worried. He hasn't been playing much and when he has been on the field he hasn't really been hitting. One home run on the year? On the other hand Keaschal has really broken out. Anyone know when Emmanuel Rodriguez will be back? He was looking like our minor league hitter of the year before getting hurt...
  22. LambchoP
    I think it should be common practice to perform thorough physicals with any new acquisition. Would be great if the Twins could grab a Frontline starter for the playoff push, but this year has too many teams not selling so the prices will be way too high. I do hope we grab some bullpen help at least. Relievers are usually a lot cheaper because of their volatility. Maybe we can get a decent arm with another year or two of control. Our lineup is fine, if we can beef up our pitching staff even a little, I'll call it a win:)
  23. LambchoP
    Jax should be our closer until Duran figures some things out. Alcala has taken the next step, was cool to see him hit 101 mph the other night. If we get Stewart and Topa back soon and they pitch well enough, I think the bullpen will be ok. Where we need to improve is the lefties. Okert has been ok, Theilbar and Funderburk are just too wild and inconsistent. I hope they get someone at the deadline. Would Aroldis Chapman be fairly easy to acquire?
  24. LambchoP
    Ryans been good, not so much against playoff teams though, same as our other starters. I think we've got a good enough rotation to get us a wild card spot, but a quick exit is likely. We need a number 1-2 type starter to go with Ryan and Lopez. Being it's such a sellers market, the prices to aquire starting pitching this deadline will be way to high for the twins. I expect one or two bullpen additions if anything. Hopefully next off-season we can hit on a free agent SP.
  25. LambchoP
    I love watching Buck when he's going good. Hitting lower in the lineup and not being relied upon to be the team's star slugger has taken a lot of the pressure off him. Gold glove defense in center with some pop in his bat....I'd take that for 15 mil a year:)
