What will it take to call last years sell off success?
Bangkok Twins Fan replied to Trov's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Very very true, Yes, we decimated the bullpen, but getting arms like Bradley and Abel was HUGE. I think history will show that this so-called sell-off was actually a prudent move. -
Yes, it was courageous of him to speak out. I honestly had not read anything about Duran's issues (sorry, not a Red Sox fan!), nor have I seen the documentary, but I applaud him for making his problem public, And obviously I deplore anyone that tries to heckle or ridicule a player that is dealing with this stuff. Let's all try and be more compassionate.

I remember that too. I realize that cruel and sometimes nasty fans are part of the game, but it still makes me sad, if not angry, when these things happen. Play the game and be competitive, but be respectful.

What the Heck Is Going On with Zebby Matthews?
Bangkok Twins Fan replied to Sam Caulder's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Which would not be an awful outcome. -
Agreed, Guys like Larnach seem to have at least salvaged their value so far this season, so why not try and swing a trade for a reliable relief pitcher? We definitely have too many surplus outfielders, plus several worthy candidates waiting in AAA.

I don't want to proclaim him a "better" manager at this point, but I really like what Shelton is doing so far. I like his management style, at least as far as I can tell from a fan's point of view.

For sure, plus the bullpen has been better than expected ... so far.

Another good, detailed report, Seth, Many thanks for the work you put into these recaps. Very encouraging to see Prielipp going deeper into games this season. And the fact that only walked one batter and struck out eight is even more encouraging. I don't expect any complete games this season, nor would it be advisable, but I love seeing him on the mound for longer stretches. With all the pre-season talk about putting him in the bullpen, I still think it's make more sense to keep him as a starter.

I'm optimistic about Morris too. I still think he could be a viable starter, but having him in the bullpen (if they don't send him down again next week) should be good experience for him.

I love my Minnesota teams, but Canadians are pretty nice folks too!
-
I'm happy to see Martin performing well so far this season. Keep him in the outfield for sure. I'd still love to see him as a regular starter, but with this logjam in the outfield I guess he will have to take what playing time he can,
-
This bullpen will be in a state of flux for a few more months. I have no idea who the "closer" will be come August, and I'm not sure that it matters at this point. Sure, a guy like Duran would be great to close out games, but until we find that magical arm it will be a game of trial and errors.

Former Twins. Where are They Now? 2026 Edition
Bangkok Twins Fan replied to stringer bell's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Good point. A few months after that trade most of us were crying the blues. Mahle was injured and then Steer and CES were looking impressive in Cincy. Things change quickly. In retrospect, that was a trade that looked good for the Twins, at least in the hope that Mahle would solidify the rotation.. But hey, that is the quirky game of baseball. You take your chances and hope for the best. -
Derek Shelton Earns Twins’ First 2026 All-Star Nod
Bangkok Twins Fan replied to Cody Christie's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Congratulations to Mr. Shelton! So far, I have been impressed with his job as the new Twins manager. Winning games counts for a lot! -
Thanks for these minor league reports. Love reading these updates. Culpepper (the pitcher) is indeed looking good thus far.

I sincerely thought the Twins would be competitive this season, but this early season performance has been a pleasant surprise. I hope this stuff is sustainable, at least from the starting pitchers. Keep it coming!

For now, not at all. Ask us again a month from now.
