    I suggested Lewis at 1B when we still had Correa but Twins had a thing about getting a 1yr FA 1Bman & camp him there & inhouse candidates never get the opportunity to grow at the position. Lewis is a natural there, keep him there, better 1B now & in the future & save some money for the time being. I like Clemens but his best position is the crowded cOF.

    Jenkins is suffering from Twins' fetish of collecting & hoarding LH hitting cOfers. Outman was a lost cause but we still have Rodon & Emma ahead of him to find out what they have & what to do with them. I don't like this situation & I'd love to see Jenkins take that next step but until these two are given every opportunity to prove themselves, he'll have to wait.

    Buck has battled a sore hip for a good part of the season, so his defensive stats would indicate that. Even with a sore hip, he's not that bad & does not justify moving him off CF, especially when we don't have anyone, yet who can replace him.

    We need all the pitching we can get. Ober provides MLB innings & who knows, his velo may return. Larnach is expendable, yet I wouldn't trade Larnach unless we can get a good return.

    Twins' fans are usually low key. Sometimes it gets frustrating, they seem like they really don't get into the game, I'd like it more if they did but that's the way they are. That doesn't necessarily mean that they don't care.

    We got some fantastic athletic prospects, Some really like Jenkins & Culpepper because of their bats, I'm more excited with Lackey & Houston because of their gloves.

    The deadline drastically changed the BP, why wasn't something done earlier? Nevertheless, Twins in the past, often showcased & elevated acquired RPs to the closer role. IMO, that was a terrible move, a RP getting used to a new team while dealing with the pressure of that role, usually is asking too much. They are going slower with Hoffman. Another shortcoming is overusing the BP which ended up burning them out. In turn, burning out the rotation. When the postseason came, our pitching was shot. Hopefully, that won't happen this year. I normally not a fan of a 6-man rotation but IMO, this season, it would be a good idea. Rojas, Morris & Prielipp would be very good candidates for long relief/ spot starting (I'm not talking about mop ups) who'd help save arms.

    Martin played a very big role in tonight's victory; He hit that big HR to start the game & kept on hitting to keep fueling the rallies. He was shy a 3 bagger for the cycle. OBP & baserunning is more important than most people give credit. His job is getting on base & scoring runs. OPS is important for those who drive in runs. For me, Kremer was the pivoting point on how well the deadline went. IMO, Zoll did well, far better than this recent long drought, Now, let's go on a long tear, for the division.

    It's great to see Dozier get his due.

    For some reason, the Twins seemed uncharacteristically unmotivated after the deadline. The KC series was very disheartening, they played much better ball against, at the moment, the best team in the MLB. With a little bit more grit, they could have swept them. Without Buck & Ryan, after losing many SPs early, they keep fighting back. IMO, they are trending in the right direction. Let's see. New young blood seems to help; Let's keep it up & see what we have.

    There's a lot of talk on how bad the batting against LHPs is. Last nite they showed what they can do against a very good LHP, even w/o Buck. It's so frustrating when they play so bad against poor teams yet pull off a win against a top team. The roller coaster is murder.
  32. Andy MacPhail
    There is a big difference between deadline & offseason trades. Also, from an All-Star to CY winner. Besides there are very few teams that can match up well to LAD's promising young MLB-ready SPs that the Twins'll need to get in return. I agree that the MLB negotiations will affect trades, when there is uncertainty.
  33. Andy MacPhail
    I agree with you. this is the best deadline we've had for a long time. Falvey's "creative" passively waiting for all the good targets to go by, so he could scoop up the scraps trades, drove me crazy. Because we completely exploded the BP the last deadline, we started out the season with 0 high-leverage RPs & a very big hole. The best way to address that problem is the beginning of the offseason, not at the deadline. We'd have won a lot more games & it'd be cheaper.
  34. Andy MacPhail
    IMO, Joe needs some time off to regain his strength & edge back. Keep pitching will not do so. He's not pitching well, the way the light KCs bats were hitting him, proves that. The avid anti-Dobnok fan can't believe that he ever had & still have any value. He is proving them wrong.
  35. Andy MacPhail
    Thank you, IMO, Houston's glove is MLB-ready yet there is no need to rush his bat. When Culpepper is promoted to MLB, Houston will get his chance at AAA. Under the wild scenario I stated before, IMO, I wouldn't push Houston to start in MLB any time soon.
