  1. It means nothing, but Vargas turned 25 August 1st. ROOKIE!!!!!!!!
  2. I think Vargas on the 1st and maybe Pinto for hitters, and Achter and Tonkin for relievers. If they call up Berrios, I hope and think they should b4 Sept 1, in case he is lights out in the bullpen , they can use him in a playoff situation if we get there. They have to leave some players in AAA , and dont rob to many from AA cuz they are in the playoffs.
  3. Like you , I dont like having that 8th reliever, but it is a necessary evil......we will soon have as many options as we like in 3 days........with that said I wonder how many they will call up on the 1st(im guessing , 1 or 2 hitters, and 1 or 2 pitchers), and how many they will wait on till the end of the Minor league season.
  4. I dont think Rogers will ever be a Major league starter, he is a spot starter at best IMO.........but i get your drift on , how do we find spots in the next yr or 2 for these ready to be starter, starters .
  5. Well.....May is NOT a Price or a Sale.......with that said, i think i prefer him too as a starter , as long as we have relievers to replace him, we have an abundance of starters now, which is good. I am not against keeping May as a reliever. IMO May is a #3, if he was a #1 or #2, i would say we have to leave him at starter.
  6. I like this idea, BUT, if neither Vargas or Arcia can handle the DH duties, I would prefer keeping Plouffe, untill we do find someone to DH other than Sano, when that happens then I would be more inclined to trade Plouffe.........with that said if we get someone willing to overpay just a little even, then I would trade Plouffe and take my chances with Arcia or Vargas coming thru.
  7. Hunter, that is the wrong way to show the young guys how to run out a ball.
  8. Yea, i am surprised that they would name them already.
  9. I think keep it at 162 games, have 6 home and 6 away DHeaders a yr and have a 27 man roster........I want records to still have a chance to be broken.
  10. Love this, perfectly said from a 45 plus yr Twins-o-holic.
  11. I have never been a Dean fan, as far as his ability to be a Major leaguer, what is he doing different that he is getting the results he is getting, no one talks about him as a possible Sept call up, I dont think he is a Major leaguer, but would be nice for him to get some love(sept callup) for a very good season, when it only looked like he was a AAA placeholder waiting to be waived.
  12. I think they have Reyes untill Rodgers becomes ready........Story is not really their SS of the future, he could be a placeholder altho if they did trade Reyes........So Reyes is not blocking anyone currently.
  13. I have no problem with May being in the pen this yr, and maybe next yr too, if we dont find other quaility relievers.......he was mostly a 6 inning pitcher, and did it pretty well, but we had no or little quality to follow him coming out of the pen, and I think he was a much better bullpen option than Pelfrey, but i guess we wont know for sure since Pelfrey never relieved, but May has strikeout ability were Pelfrey not as much so...........but unless we find or develop a couple more starters by next yr, i prefer May in the starting rotation long term as i think he has the makings of a #3 starter.
  14. For a game 163, I would want Gibson, mostly a ground ball pitcher again HR hitters, on both teams and in case of Yankee Stadium HR haven.............secondly lefty Milone, he is very wily and i dont think gets rattled...........If we made the playoffs, Hughes, Milone, Gibson, and if we had to go with a 4th starter, Pelfrey now, but could change my mind if Duffey, keeps the good starts going and looks like he is not gunshy for the playoff games against a Blue Jay or Yankee team.
  15. When we are winning, NOT ME!!!!!!!
  16. I was about to write this too, mainly someone like Pierzynski(doesnt have to be him) who will take enough at bats away from Suzuki , so he doesnt automatically vest for 2017.
  17. I guess this game isnt that important, that our pitchers cant or wont say, " I AM READY AND ABLE"
  18. Gotta love the TV crew setting us up to be ready for failure, GEEZ!!!!!
  19. He is/was part of the current terrible group, nice story , no loss.
  20. I am high on Navarreto myself, he is young and I think has a chance to hit .250 or better in the future.
  21. Well, if we can pay Mauer $23M 5 yrs ago, we can give both Buxton and Sano $25 to $35M a yr in 5 to 7 yrs.
  22. Well MonkeyPaws the positivity didnt last long, second post LOL
  23. and they didnt want a bullpen game!!!?? LOL
