    Nah he's been rotating between catcher and dh . Twins seem confident he's a catcher long term

    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

    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 .

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
  9. 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
  10. 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)
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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 .
  15. 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
  16. Sampson5
    With wallner and larnach nah but with Jenkins e rod & eventually Mendez yeah he can help them become legit guess it's even possible help wally and larnach become at least passable as defenders instead of terrible
  17. Sampson5
    Kinda sad that e rod is the only somewhat successful signing so far i say successful because he ended up a top 100 prospect twins gotta figure out how to get more out of one of their biggest rebuilding tools . I think e rod will be at minimum a quality regular outfielder in the mlb but the reality is 1 mlb player out of multiple classes is a bad stretch of international classes I mean seems like the Dodgers have a new top 100 prospect from this same system every year or 2 so really no excuse to not have more success
  18. Sampson5
    How Gonzalez didn't get a spot on the team is wild been one of the best outfielders in the entire minor leagues this year thought both would make it I get Jenkins and e rod not getting in since both have missed most the season but Gonzalez and culpepper both been elite at the plate
