  1. I think twins should try and package AK with someone like Severino and another prospect to get some pitching. We need another starter and bullpen help. Kiriloff is redundant, we already have slow lefty corner outfielders in Wallner and Larnach. Plus Martin has looked good so far and we have Keirsey and E Rodriguez playing like they want a call up.
  2. Twins definitely need to trim the fat off our bullpen. Both Theilbar and Jackson have no business being out there. Call up Funderburk to replace Theilbar at least temporarily. He's got good K stuff but too many walks. Not sure what's up with Topa or Canterino, both of whom would help our bullpen, I think we need some serious relief help at the deadline. Along with a solid starter with control. Sad to say, but right now Ryan is the only starter I'd trust in a playoff game. I think they should give Festa a spot start or two in Pablo or Paddacks place to give them some rest.
  3. Severino has been hitting great lately. He's positionally blocked for us though. I think leading the minors in home runs last year and his recent hot streak, I think we could package him with someone like Kiriloff and another prospect for some pitching help that we really need.
  4. I think by the trade deadline the twins need to trim the fat off this team if we're going to make a serious post season run. Try to find a trade and get whatever we can for Farmer, Margot, Theilbar. If nothing's there, then DFA. We've got plenty of outfielders to replace Margot.Martin has looked good. Castro is good enough out there. Larnach, Wallner, Kepler. Calling up Lee would be an easy replacement for Farmer, as long as they let him play everyday. Theilbar and Jackson have no business in our bullpen and I think we should look for some relief help at the deadline along with a good starting pitcher with control.
  5. I think they should skip the next one or two Pablo starts and give Festa a shot. They also need to trim the fat on our bullpen. Get rid of Theilbar and Jackson. Funderburk could be a short term solution for Theilbar, but I think we should Definitely look for some SP and bullpen help at the deadline.
  6. Our best player is Royce Lewis, but he hasn't played enough this year. Our all-stars should be Jax, Ryan, and definitely Correa after the test he's been on. A month ago I would have said Jeffers but man he really fell off a cliff and has looked bad.
  7. I also think Wallner has earned himself a call up. I don't care that Margot has gotten a few hits this last week. He's 0-19 in pitch hit situations. Time to move on from him. If Wallner continues to struggle, give Keirsey a shot, he could be a good spark plug. I think we should package some of our blocked infielders like Severino Helman or Kemp to get some starting pitching and bullpen help. Now that they're all hitting well we should be able to get someone decent in return. Maybe offer up Kiriloff as well, he's been passed up by larmach and Wallner looks like.
  8. Maybe time to call up Varland again or Festa for a spot start or two in Pablo's place. Give him a little extra rest and see if that helps sort him out. Both Jackson and Theilbar are wasted roster spots. We could replace Theilbar with Funderburk but I think we need a high leverage lefty at the trade deadline. Maybe package Kiriloff and some of our blocked infielders like Severino and Helman for some starting pitching and bullpen help.
  9. If I'm remembering right, the Twins don't have any top picks. Hopefully we can hit on some high upside pitching. Starting pitching especially looks like a weakness for this club.
  10. I say absolutely not. This guy doesn't look like he's any better than what we already have in Wallner, Larnach, Kiriloff, Keirsey....makes no sense to trade for a player that is so redundant. Especially trading our best reliever in Jax, that would absolutely cripple our bullpen. Twins need starting pitching more than anything.
  11. I think the Twins should at least try to get anything they can for Farmer, Margot, Vasquez and Theilbar. Look for a starter with control and maybe a reliever with another year or two. I'd also say Kiriloff should be available. He's redundant with Wallner and Larnach, both of whom are better hitters this year.
  12. Twins need to dump Farmer any way they can. If there's a team out there desperate for a shortstop like the Dodgers, maybe they take him off our hands. That opens a spot for Wallner. I also think Theilbar needs to go ASAP. He's unplayable at this point and taking up a bullpen spot. Easy replacement would be Funderburk but I think they should look for a high leverage lefty at the deadline.
  13. I say Farmers time has come. We've got plenty of guys who can cover the infield. If we could find a team to take on him and his salary for minor leaguers, great. If not, DFA him or Margot and call up Wallner. Theilbar also needs to go. I doubt we find a trade partner for him so a DFA is likely. We've got a perfect replacement in Funderburk waiting, although I do think we should acquire a high leverage lefty at the deadline.
  14. You never know for sure with prospects. It seems there is an alarming pattern with top twins picks and their injuries. Is it our medical staff, are we picking injury prone guys, what is it? Royce, Buxton, Kiriloff, Canterino, Prelipp, now this year Jenkins, ERod, Gonzalez....
  15. Wallner is on a tear and seems to have hit his way to an earned promotion. Call him up and send down Margot if he's got options. Otherwise it'd have to be Martin, which I'd hate to see. Martins bat has looked a lot better over the last month or so.
  16. The fact that Paddack is coming back from tommy John and has been struggling badly lately, I think now would be a good time for a 10 or 15 day IL stint. Have him skip a few starts to keep him fresh and limit his innings. Give Festa a few spot starts, although I think Varland would be more likely.
  17. Twins bats looking good. Think it's finally time to trim the fat off this team and replace them with someone better. Farmer, Margot and Theilbar all need to go, plus they all have solid replacements ready to go. Lee or Julien for Farmer. Wallner for Margot. Funderburk or deadline acquisition for the cooked Theilbar.
  18. Crazy to think of where the Twins would be without C4 this year. Imagine if we were rolling with Farmer as our shortstop. Correa will come back down to earth eventually, but man this hot streak has been fun to watch. The fact that he's got amazing protection hitting in front of Lewis should definitely benefit him in the long run. As long as Baldelli doesn't constantly change up the lineup..
  19. Robert Jr is too expensive for us and we don't need another oft injured outfielder. I'd say Crochet would be the biggest get, just not sure what the Sox want in return. Twins need starting pitching more than anything. If we don't get a playoff caliber starter, we don't stand a chance even IF we make the playoffs. Crochet or Luzardo would pair great with Lopez and Ryan.
  20. Festa continues to pitch well, I could see him getting a spot start or two just like Varland did last week to get our starters an extra day of rest here or there. I seriously think Keaschals bat will play at the higher levels. Maybe he earns a promotion to St Paul later this year and gets an invite to spring training next year. I think the fact that they're having him play the outfield as well as second base shows that they want to find a way to keep him in the twins lineup any way they can. I'm also curious about Canterino. He was put on 10 day IL I believe early this year. Was reported that it wasn't too serious but now here we are months later with no update or progress report at all, which makes me think the worst. Really sucks they can't keep him healthy because I thought he could have been a real weapon in our bullpen this year...
  21. Zebby sure is making the case to be our top pitching prospect. He keeps up this dominance, I could see a September promotion to St Paul. Perhaps paired with a call up for David Festa to make a spot start or two, or help out in the bullpen down the stretch.
  22. I think the Twins need to decide who is going to be our long term left fielder between Wallner, Larnach and AK. Kepler leaving after this year opens another spot, but with Martin, Keirsey and ERod pushing for playing time I think a trade could be coming. I'd say if we could package Kiriloff with one of our blocked infielders like Severino or Helman to get some impact pitching then I say go for it.
  23. Twins biggest need is starting pitching and we should only make a trade for a top 1-3 starter, with at least another year or two of control. Rentals aren't worth losing prospects this year. We need a solid starter at the top of our rotation like Luzardo and probably a leverage lefty for our bullpen to replace Theilbar. I like the guy, but he's done.
  24. I'd be cool with Sears, would be nice to have a lefty starter again. I think we can do better however. We don't need another 4 or 5 starter....
  25. Sure looks like Wallner has figured things out. If he can keep this up a few more weeks I think he could be a left field upgrade. As far as the infielders go, I think we've got a bit of a good problem of a positional logjam. Severino, Hellman, Lee and Keaschal all seem to be hitting well. Lee should be our long-term second baseman so he's not going anywhere. But maybe we could build a package like Severino/Helman and Kiriloff/Wallner to acquire some starting pitching. I'd be all for Garrett Crochet or Jesus Luzardo. We need a good lefty in the pen to replace Theilbar too
