    I like the suggestion of letting Buxton rehab in Rochester as long as possible. For all his speed, he's not ready to help the offense yet.

    Nice!

    I think some teams ruin it for others. A team like the San Francisco Giants has been to 3 World Series and mostly with guys they've drafted themselves. Cain, Lincecum, Bumgarner, Jonathan Sanchez, Brian Wilson, Sergio Romo, Volgelsong, others I'm sure who are also coming up through the system that aren't household names yet.

    Overall I like it, but who did we trade Plouffsie for? I didn't hear about this

    Van Mil has got to be 30 by now? What's his assignment?

    Well written article but I disagree. Especially with the timing. The time to look back and say "meh, wouldn't have made a difference anyway" is in the offseason. The guys in the clubhouse were expecting reinforcements. Twins have an opportunity this year they weren't expecting, and the front office has so far pooched it. The team now needs to get out of Toronto ASAP and try and regroup to make a second go at this thing. The front office can still help if they want.

    No, we are not cutting Hunter. I'm also not necessarily arguing for Robinson's continued employment. Robinson could provide a lot more value to this team than the 8th reliever (which ever one is considered 8th, nobody knows anymore). What we lose in a bench bat option, we might gain back with experience and speed on the bases and a guy who knows how to steal second late in the game. Molitor doesn't seem to pinch hit anyway, so the concept of an additional bench bat is almost beside the point to me. Robinson also plays outfield well and should sub in for Arcia. I'm not saying Robinson should be the DH or that he should get a start any more often than every week or two, or when someone needs a blow.

    Shane Robinson and Oswaldo Arcia can exist together on the same roster, with Robinson as a late inning pinch runner and outfield substitute for Arcia when necessary.

    Calling up Miguel Sano (3-4 weeks too late IMO) and getting Ervin Santana back from suspension can arguably serve the same purpose as making a trade. You are improving your team with better players you didn't previously have. Also removing Santana from shortstop improves the team appreciably (sorry Santana lovers). That's another thing that was done 6 weeks too late. But the bullpen stuff is really a disappointment, to put it mildly.

    It feels like we are revising our estimations of Hu after the fact. I'm not predicting anything here, but the writers on this site had him Top 20 and Top 15 as the season wore on, a couple of our bloggers had him higher than that. These are the guys I presume follow Twins prospects more closely than the national stringers (I could be wrong). To me, TD rankings are more reliable than MLB or industry rankings. I don't mind trading Hu but I would not dismiss the idea that he might have been a borderline Top 10 prospect heading into 2016 if things had worked out a little different. With the proximity of Tampa Bay's offices to Fort Myers and other Florida League towns, I'd also bet Hu was scouted adequately enough. Hu surely has flaws but no doubt the Rays also think they can do something with him. They have a good record developing pitchers.

    The fourth inning was very RISPy, starting with a lead off double, which developed into a bases-loaded, none out situation. It did not end well.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well said SD Buhr. The post season now includes the wild card game, which is great for TV and not going away anytime soon. KC is emerging as the class of the American League and will be hard to defeat the next few seasons. The Twins need to take the wild card berth seriously, and not as a gimmick or a waste of effort to make a deadline deal for one single game. In fact, this is a season when the AL wild card game will have one or both teams with fewer than 90 wins, so it's maybe even a greater reason to take a shot this year than wait.

    I also don't think Mauer should get a day off against a tough pitcher like Price.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I try to kick Lucy's football every time.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    mmm mmm mmm, this is shaping up nicely !
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Bunting situation for Sano here
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No, buddy. Get to the back of the line.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There's your run, Ervin Santana. Take good care of it!

    Fixed it for ya (press 0 for operator or * to return to the main menu at any time)
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I hear ya. I do not consider Vargas a downgrade at first with the glove, and I'm not sure how Mauer ever gets his mojo back at the plate.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Absolutely brilliant marketing.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Amd since that's not gonna happen, what would you do instead (It is a fair question though, what to do with him)
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Lowe flew under my radar-but then it's not my job to track Seattle Mariners relief pitchers. He would have been a great add. After reading up on the mess that is the San Diego Padres, I highly doubt the Twins involve themselves with anything Padres-related, they are requiring a massive salary dump in any deal for a reliever, and I can't blame Ryan for not answering any calls from the San Diego area code. Good day y'all and let's get a win tonight; see you in game thread I hope. At this point I think I'll be happy if the Twins just promote another guy from AAA and have that overdue heart to heart talk with Mike Pelfrey.

    Mlb trade rumors saying the Houston ownership pressing for Chapman deal. THAT will be interesting.
