    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

    Definitely real people saying this same thing LMAO the locked on twins host from last year been pushing this since twins drafted lackey .

    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.
  8. Sampson5
    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
  9. Sampson5
    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
  10. 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
  11. Sampson5
    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
  12. Sampson5
    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
  13. Sampson5
    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
  14. Sampson5
    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 .
  15. Sampson5
    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
  16. Sampson5
    E rod this weeks away I don't think he completes his rehab and come to the majors think they get him in 5-7 games at St Paul before it's a possibility but he'd also have to play well . Hopefully he does play well because man martin has fallen off a cliff production wise and roden really providing nothing besides a occasional single looks more and more like a quad A player . Personally I'd keep kriedler at SS until culpepper comes to the majors gray is to bad to be playing at SS which they'd have to do atm if kriedler played cf it's why it's so weird they didn't just call up Jenkins to play center hopefully buck don't miss to long offense pretty suspect without him
  17. Sampson5
    Solid move would of rather a strikeout artist since that's what pen is missing but getting a reliable pen arm for 2 low level prospects is solid work hopefully they add a reliever that has high strikeout stuff tho . Also think they should add a infielder preferably that can hit lefties that way can give other guys days off vs lefties instead of playing them because we got no other option
  18. Sampson5
    Called up the saints worst hitter lmao if being on the 40 is today's excuse for refusing to call up a good player fedko and wallner on the 40 and both actually playing well enough to earn the call up . Laughable that gray played terrible since the demotion and he's back in the majors
  19. Sampson5
    Does feel likely he's moved but don't think it's for sure the Yankees he's the best chip they are willing to move that can get them major league pitching back without trading a top prospect which don't think they wanna do . Sure yanks have pieces to get him but so does every other contender who wants a catcher at the deadline feel like they'd probably try their best to send him to a team they won't have to play if they make the playoffs
  20. Sampson5
    Why not do both add a few arms to help the bullpen be more reliable so they have a chance but also ship out a piece or 2 to free up abs for your top prospects who are ready to be called up to the majors as soon as a everyday role is open for them . Rays do it all the time and still go on playoff runs pretty much every year
  21. Sampson5
    Look forward to Tait getting higher in the minors so we can actually see what the defense looks like when the pitchers are better or at least less wild strike throwing wise . Could help him eventually being on a team with lackey who can give him some pointers on defense. Worst case he's a dh/ 1st baseman who hits 30 homers but can also catch in a pinch similar to ben rice . His power alone is making him a mlb regular in a few years .
  22. Sampson5
    Interested to see what they qualify as buying is it just add a high leverage reliever ? Or is it a reliever and a starter . Still think they move one of the catchers unless they just plan on eventually just dfa Jackson when they eventually decide to call up culpepper to play SS while could be the plan . Wouldn't say this means they aren't trading jeffers tho he's the best chip to actually get a good pitcher assuming they aren't trading a top prospect which I doubt they do
  23. Sampson5
    Id take a swing on volpe improving with less pressure but if your doing that I wouldn't also want a risky reliever who's been terrible this year gotta be at least 1 for sure piece coming back imo
  24. Sampson5
    Wonder if the Yankees would offer elmer Rodriguez for Jeffers that's the type of deal I'd be interested in since he's near mlb ready and twins could immediately call him up not sure yanks would actually give him up for jeffers . Hard to know what his value truly is while he's good he's a pending fa who missed a big chunk of the year injured guess we'll see in the next week .
  25. Sampson5
    Idk how they can keep wallner in St Paul with a near .1000 ops probably tells you they plan on moving on my guess is if he's not called up prior to the deadline he's getting moved to a team who believes in him personally rather have him in the lineup over roden especially when they have clemons & keashall in the outfield mix . Need culpepper to get hot so he can force the twins to call him up that way kriedler can get more days off the magic means to be running out in a everyday role even if defense still elite not to mention it's clearly about time for Houston to be moved up a level I mean he's hitting over .300 in AA in about 30 game sample safe to say he's ready for a challenge.
