    If your gonna dfa him then we expect bell to be given the same energy considering he's been terrible since hit hot start after that 1st few series he's been unplayable yet somehow still batting clean up consistently...
  2. Sampson5
    I hope it passes tbh for no other reason then pohlads be forced to have a regular payroll instead of being able to slash it every off-season probably get them to sell the team quickly we can hope anyway

    Don't see a world where Culpeper isn't added to the 40 and on the twins in the next few months maybe they do it with jenkins since he's been hurt and his numbers weren't great pre injury so he could probably use more time in St Paul and probably needs to be a opening for him which isn't at the moment

    Mendez is a interesting prospect looks like a major league bat honestly wouldn't mind giving him the outman bench role it's probably time to dfa outman and get a prospect in as the 4th outfielder briefly thought outman was starting to turn in around enough to hold the job but lately even in the rare starts he's doing nothing but strikeout
  5. Sampson5
    It's to bad he isn't a solid defender would be fun to have Gabby as the 4th outfielder but with outman being able to the cf was unlikely they'd move on without having someone who can do the same things as a pinch runner / defensive replacement. Definitely think Gabby will be back after the deadline or if they face any of injury

    Good to see royce hitting bombs again he will get another chance at some point doubt they rush him back because he's hitting AAA pitching for a week probably gonna take a month barring a injury to lee since he's playing 3rd . My question is what are they having him work on because that will be what he has to fix before twins call him back up my guess would be limiting the k's and using the whole field instead of only trying to hit homers like he's been doing this year . With lee playing 3rd I'm wondering if we see Culpeper in the mlb because we see royce again not to mention arcia & kriedler playing to well currently to rush Royce up after a few good games imo

    Unless they plan on giving jeffers the qo there's no way they can keep him because they aren't paying a catcher 12+ million when they already have caratini making 7 . He will have a good market assuming he returns and plays solid before the deadline . They should also be listening on Ryan unless they wanna pay him because the return will be worse next year . The martin trade makes zero sense tbh as for Buxton you keep him until he asks out which feels doubtful to happen unless the twins turn into the rockies . I'd wait on the demoted duo see if they can turn it around enough so you at least can get some type of value

    It's a little weird that he's never been given a chance but not shocking considering age & the high strikeout rate . This would be the year to do it but the fact every team passed in the rule 5 draft tells you other teams also didn't believe he could even be a 4th outfielder . Fact is he's probably the outfielder the twins believe in the least that's currently in St Paul . I'd just call him up at some point and see what he hits if he's bad you can always send him right back down but then you'd know he's a quad a player and could move on

    Don't really expect any hitting prospect to come up until after the deadline when I'm guessing larnach & bell are traded really no one else who's playing demotion bad left outside of maybe keashall but with his ops in the 600s can't see that happening although that can change with a bad week or 2 . I'm more interested to see what happens with the rotation when taj & mick return they should honestly keep rojas up in a reliever role but could see him and zebby both going down & just replace swr with prelip as the 5th starter
  10. Sampson5
    Hope it's saboto who gets the nod for gray as good as fedko has been he's a of so makes less sense but I'd be happy either way both deserve a chance I'll just tell twins fans not to expect Culpeper no chance they add someone to the 40 for a few days long cup of coffee more likely to be someone already on the 40 and even then I'm not even confident whoever gets the call even gets more then a pinch hitter ab or 2 .
  11. Sampson5
    Nah he's been rotating between catcher and dh . Twins seem confident he's a catcher long term
  12. Sampson5
    Im just hoping after bell is traded at the deadline that they ball up sabato so we can finally see if he can provide any value as a former 1st rounder . Clemens beens the only option who currently playing above his expectations probably a key reason twins have went from few games over .500 to around 5 or so games under .500
  13. Sampson5
    Mercedes is a obvious add to the 40 even if he falls back down to earth the tools alone make it a easy choice imo .
  14. Sampson5
    Be one thing if wallner was going thru a slump at the plate but instead he's not only bad at the plate striking out over 40% of the time but the defense is some of the worst you've ever seen . Twins couldn't continue to play him at the mlb level shocked it took this long tbh figured he'd of been sent down weeks ago unfortunate that e rod is hurt would of felt so much better if he was the ball up I'd guess once he's healthy he will be the guy if Royce is the next guy demoted since then kriedler can play more at 3rd in that scenario even if Royce figures it out shouldn't be hard to get e rod up here once he's healthy . Feels good to know that twins are serious and will send a former top prospect to the minors should be a wake up call for Royce that he's heading on this same path if he don't figure it out
  15. Sampson5
    While fans may be ready to move lee off ss I'm not sure the twins are simply because if they were he'd be getting a occasional start at a different position although maybe they start that once they deem Culpeper to be a few weeks away from a call up . Personally think he stays in St Paul probably until the deadline when they free up a full time role or maybe sooner if injuries happen. Even then he has to start playing great instead of solid to force a call up after so many young hitters struggled after being rushed up don't think the twins will be rushing Culpeper to be a part time player
  16. Sampson5
    Had no real issue with any of the rental trades your just not getting a top prospect for a rental unless it's a elite rental like Cruz was when we got Ryan and even then he wasn't a top tier prospect
  17. Sampson5
    Personally like the returns for jax and duran it's early and that could chance if Tait is only a average or worse catcher . All the other moves at the time seemed light in the return . As for varland I can get behind the idea of a dominant lefty starter for a pen arm swap if rojas is a reliever it will be harder to ever be a good move although he is younger so has a better chance of being a starter no clue why they wanted roden when they had multiple of prospects close to mlb ready top tier of prospects too then they blocked roden anyway by keeping outman which is so stupid imo . My biggest complaint is not targeting more guys who are closer to Mlb ready
  18. Sampson5
    Weird that they sent down their best reliever feel like getting rid of garcia was the easy choice I mean guy has like a 9 era even banda or topa makes sense. If we're being honest orze,sands ,funderberk, morris been the only pen arms that have been even solid this year but yeah let's keep our worst arms on the club banda I can get since he has good stuff just can't protect him from righties with this pen so his era is bad . Hopefully they keep rojas up here his stuff is great just gotta keep working on the command gotta think mlb coaches help that more then the minor league coaches will
  19. Sampson5
    I understand slow playing Culpeper let him develop especially with kriedler & arcia ready as bandaid options I'd give Royce another week or 10 days to show life at the plate if he don't id sent him down and call up arcia although I'd get going kriedler since he's on the 40 man can't continue rolling out Royce some guys just need a reset and that's okay hopefully he just heats up and don't need to be sent down the twins are at their best when Royce is hitting bombs that's really only chance they have at making this pen be less of a issue going forward
  20. Sampson5
    Y'all might not wanna hear it but I think this brooks lee fella might be a mlb caliber hitter we not gonna bring up the defense tho lmao good for brooks only took getting smoked in the face trying to bunt to figure it out at the plate maybe Royce could try it out so his bat could wake up ( it's a joke btw)
  21. Sampson5
    This bullpen man... At least they share the love and take turns melting down lmao not shocking I mean did anyone really believe a 1 run lead was safe in this economy?? Only think I'd of done differently is go Rodgers instead orze but I'm not convinced he finishes the save either . So stupid they didn't add more to this bullpen it was clear this was gonna be one of the worst pens in the league but man it's tough to watch feels like unless we're up 4 runs were cooked these days
  22. Sampson5
    E rod still in St Paul with a ops getting close to 1000 is getting harder to justify when wallner legit playing like the twins worst player currently and striking out like twins joey gallo lmao not sure what he's gotta do to be promoted at this point all he's done is dominate since spring training pretty easy to find him a near everyday role in the outfield. Guess twins rather see wallner go 0-4 with 3 k every night instead since he's #oneofus
  23. Sampson5
    Call up rojas let him take actions spot he at least has the stuff to be great . The mid vet journey man route is always boring and predictably goes terribly
  24. Sampson5
    Don't understand why e rod isn't in the majors yet with how bad wallner has been his process at the plate needs a retool in st Paul . He's the only prospect coming up anytime soon twins aren't stunting a prospect development to be a bench player and get a start a week .
  25. Sampson5
    Honestly I'm just glad lee finally looking playable at the plate it's to bad most the offense providing nothing most games until we're down big maybe time to get some prospects up here who can maybe do something at the plate probably time to send down wallner and just dfa Clemens or outman at least with prospects they will be fun to watch well unless they also can't hit mlb pitching lol
