    We will definitely be seeing rojas as a September call up as long as he's healthy . Not sure why it took so long to decide to stretch him out as a starter should of been the plan a while ago simply because a starter is more valuable then a long reliever especially now that the twins have 5 reliable arms in the pen . Honestly could see 2 of these 3 being key pieces down the stretch .

    Once a actual cf joins the roster yeah but currently he's the best option in center moving him now just makes the defense worse . Once Jenkins is up I'd move buck to the corner but that's looking like a next season thing imo

    Unfortunate that Jeffers and Buck did nothing with culpepper setting them up with a great ab could of been the hero instead was wasted but even with the loss good to see culpepper have good abs he's looked pretty good so far looks like a future top of the lineup hitter . That infield going forward looking pretty good especially once Houston comes up in a year or so . If we could get some young outfielders up here playing well twins could be a problem in the al going forward

    Day later he's back on the mlb roster lol twins love rostering a player who gets 1 start every 10 days effectively a waste of a roster spot . Been from outman to gray and now jackson who I actually think should be the backup catcher over caratini but he's making to much to just sit on the bench in hindsight probably should of used that money on pitching last off-season

    That kriedler super fan about to crash out when he finds this article lol but I agree it's time to get some young guys up here not sure who id cut loose but definitely wanna see Emma and rojas up here not sure they bring jenkins up here they seem adamant on keeping him eligible to play minor league games next year in case we get a extended lockout . Maybe it's also keeping him eligible for the added 1st in case he somehow wins roty next year not sure the exact rules . Honestly pretty surprised that Rogers is still on the roster figured he'd of been switched with a better arm from St Paul but who knows maybe they promised him not to dfa him for him signing here or something lol

    Twins might never buy at a deadline again the way they have collapsed . Pretty pathetic that they couldn't hold a 5-0 lead but I guess we will see if this is when they fully fold or do they somehow get back in the wild card conversation.

    Glad he's back hopefully he can get going at the plate and praying the hip isn't a issue and they aren't just rushing him back just to have it flair up in a week like last time . Gotta think they finally punt on rostering 3 healthy catchers although it's risky feel like Jackson is a guy the Yankees will claim which is why it's confusing why they didn't trade one of the catchers to at least get something in return instead of potentially losing one for nothing

    Twins need to either stretch rojas out to a starter or if not then dfa rogers and get Rojas in the pen as that last lefty . Id say raya to but the numbers lately aren't the best for him since that il stint so he may not be fully ready yet . Point is it's time to swap out Adams & rogers didn't matter tonight but neither is very effective lately . Shoutout to Kramer & the offense for building a lead they couldn't blow gonna need another big offense performance tomorrow with ober on the mound although top pen arms will be rested in case ober can't give them more then 5 innings of good ball
  17. Sampson5
    Still a little to much outfielder depth probably eventually gonna have to move from that depth to address other areas of need more so AAA wise . Really the main thing going forward will be building up some starting pitching tho they did add a few pitchers in the draft that could see being top 10 ish prospects in the future

    Twins really have no idea what to do with rojas ... Has the stuff of a top of the rotation arm but yeah let's pitch him 3 innings every 4 days instead of either turning him to a high leverage reliever or a starter . Personally think they should be stretching him out as a starter to plan for a injury or a starter bring ineffective down the stretch if he was gonna be doing this he should be in the twins bullpen imo

    Good to see him finally be rewarded I'd guess Jenkins will be following him in the next few weeks great to finally gets some more juice in the lineup. I'm guessing we see Houston head to St Paul now that theres a ss job available for him . Congratulations to the kid it's a well deserved promotion

    Brooks love to step up to the plate with a chance to turn a loss into a win . Maybe saved the season but we'll see if they can stack some wins going forward. Honestly they should get some help from st Paul they clearly need more offense jenkins clearly ready although doubt it happens until they can get away with keeping his rookie status in place for next year on the off chance he wins roty I believe that's coming up in the next week or so feels like if they didn't care about burning a year of service time he'd already of been in the majors we'll see if twins can hold on that long without losing to much ground in the standings

    Alright man time to wake up and call up someone who can provide value no reason gray or Jackson should be on the roster pretty wild they didn't move Jackson the moment they decided to keep Jeffers really stupid roster Management to roster 3 catchers while your top 2 catchers are healthy . Bullpen being improved won't matter if your scoring only a few runs a game .

    Giving up dason hill for a okay reliever certainly a choice but I guess to zoll it don't matter because if twins flame out down the stretch he's probably getting replaced after the lockout . Always possible hill flames out but struggling to see a scenario where he's not at minimum a high leverage reliever . Be interesting to look back in 5 years on this one certainly feel like it's gonna be looked at as a whiff he'd have to he elite for the next few seasons for this trade to even feel close to worth it . Maybe I'm to high on hill think he's worst case a quality 5th starter with a real path to being top of the rotation assuming Toronto can rein in the command hopefully I'll be wrong and it's a twins fleece but yikes so many better options if you were trading your best pitching prospect would of wanted a younger arm who's not already showing signs of regression
