    A look at the buzzsaw schedule coming up and.....they're going to need a bigger bullpen. It's probably too late to fix. They could be 10 games under pretty soon and in clear "sell" territory. Everybody - fans, writers, baristas, Uber drivers, fans' pets knew this was an issue from before day 1 of the season, and they haven't done enough to address it.

    I guess I don't look at the short term priorities for this team and say "I wish the left fielder could catch the ball better." That's a concern for another season.

    Leave Larnach alone and go get some relief pitching.

    Where there's smoke there's fire. If they add instead of subtract, they might consistently catch fire. The most encouraging thing IMO is Mr. Lewis. His improvement lengthens the line-up. Give them one or two more bullpen guys, and bring up some phenoms, and the fans can have some fun down the stretch.

    Calvin Griffith forgot more about baseball than any Pohlad will ever know, and ultimately he couldn't make a go of it here. It's concerning. In a losing year, die hard fans will still come out to see the star players from other teams and because they enjoy the game. But most fans here need a winner. Maybe a new baseball agreement will change the economics and help the cause.

    Just from a crazy fans' viewpoint (such as myself) I would love to see the PHENOM Jenkins in RF next to Buxton down the stretch. Might bring more fans out to the ballpark too. Now if Jenkins comes up and goes 0 for 30 - not such a good idea. But there's one way to find out. But I realize there are very sound baseball reasons not to do it and Roden would probably be the first choice.

    Usually I would agree with this. But Lewis said he thought the first basemens mit looks strange. The Twins aren't dealing with a "normal" type of baseball player with this guy.

    I'd like to be optimistic about Lewis. But from his comments, I really don't think he gets it. He thinks everything is "fixed". It feels increasingly like the Twins are trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. Maybe best case is that they make him look as good as possible in AAA and trade him.

    It used to be a blue collar game. Not any more.

    Remove Outman?? Now you're talking crazy!

    You pay $70 dollars for a ticket to see the team basically phone it in. With the brutal economy among other things, then they wonder why attendance isn't better. And it isn't just the Twins. Greed is strangling the game. Go watch the Saints.

    Bad signing from day one.

    You make it sound so.... so dirty. As another commenter has said, the greatest value of this year is to find out what they have. The Twins' fate of Martin, Wallner, SWR, and Lewis among others is being decided. I've always liked Martin. He has that "intangible" that can't be measured by stats. I hope he ends up being at least a 4th outfielder.

    One game things look so bleak I wonder if the Twins will ever win another game. Next game they might still be playoff contenders. Shelton has them incredibly scrappy and resilient. Banda looks really good. But last time I said that about Taylor Rogers he immediately went in the tank - so never mind.
  15. Nshore
    The Twins will trade Ryan because they are in the subgroup of ML teams that are AAAA development teams for the rest of the league.
  16. Nshore
    If the Pirates are smart, they'll do everything they can to patch things up with Mlodzinski and hang on to him. The Twins are exhibit A of how quickly pitching can fall apart just when you think it's looking good.
  17. Nshore
    Pass. Can't pronounce his last name.
  18. Nshore
    I have good reason to believe that LaTroy Hawkins and Grady Sizemore will get activated on the Twins roster by the end of the month.
  19. Nshore
    "For a Twins organization that values versatility and defensive flexibility" - how is what the Twins organization values working out for them?
  20. Nshore
    The Pohlads liquidate the entire franchise, and the only thing left is James Outman.
  21. Nshore
    The Twins being World Series contenders is almost as rare as a unicorn or a leprechaun. Fans have to be satisfied with watching young players develop - before they get shuffled off to other teams, or seeing future Hall of Famers like Judge or Trout come through town.
  22. Nshore
    That's a good point about Outman and Kreidler. They're paying a big price to carry guys like that who can't hit. And at least in Outman's case who's sole purpose is to back up Buxton - and then don't use them to back up Buxton. Not for the first time, it really makes you wonder if they know what they're doing.
  23. Nshore
    SWR hasn't been injured, so he's like a foreign substance that had to be expelled! Maybe they're clearing space for a big trade soon to come. Who knows.
  24. Nshore
    Long term - 3B Winokur, SS Houston, 2B Culpepper, 1B Lee. Lewis and Keaschall trade bait.
  25. Nshore
    What matters most IMO is how Lewis looks at the plate. If he's still tap dancing and lunging around up there, swinging at balls out of the zone, mystified by off speed pitches, or missing meatballs, it doesn't matter if he's "tearing it up".
