  1. Or, they could have decreased the RP list by 1, and still called up Garver and Vargas......what they did was not the only option.
  2. It's always acceptable for fans to be excited. should they be buyers, you ask? Well, for one, bats are going for 10 cents on teh dollar right now, compared to pitchers. There have been a lot of words written about that on line.....if they could add a legit DH for their 20-30th ranked player in low A ball, I'd do it. (frankly, I'd call up Garver and see if he can do it). I'm not convinced there is a RP that is better than what they have available right now. I'd consider trading for Verlander or such type player, but I don't think the Tigers are going to eat salary enough to make it worth giving up legit prospects, and I don't think teams are trading legit prospects for him....
  3. except Grossman can't really hit. Walks are better than outs, but they aren't as good as hits. He's not good either.
  4. this, I mean, who plays 3B when Sano doesn't for 15-20 games next year if not him?
  5. of course it's possible. It's also possible any value the Twins got from Kintzler this year doesn't matter to making the playoffs or not (likely, even), and possible Watson provides some when it is needed in the future (not super likely), but he has 4-6 years to try.
  6. iirc, he's also a big musical/stage guy, not sure if that is on imdb or not....
  7. because imo.... they aren't making the playoffs this year Garver is part of the future, and Gimenez is not players tend to go up and down, so getting that process started now means it is more likely he is more ready sooner next year I don't know what to expect, and neither does anyone else until he actually plays in the majors, so gather data I don't expect anyone to agree, nor am I trying to convince anyone, you asked why I (and others) want him here. Those are why.
  8. agree with Seth, leave no stone unturned. Just don't wait too long to make some decisions....
  9. me neither, but we are reasonably sure that Vargas isn't good/great at this point. And Vargas offers ZERO positional flexibility.
  10. they weren't nice clothes, or were you asking the other way?
  11. he can play first. He can play the OF if they have to PH. He can just PH. He can catch if they want to, you know, pinch hit for a catcher at some point.....
  12. I really don't understand this Vargas over Garver decision at all.
  13. options? On a 26 year old? ugh. this is frustrating, greatly frustrating* *I mean, as frustrating as a decision about a backup/bench player can be.
  14. and i did wear clothes while working from home, so it wasn't that kind of streak after all...
  15. Not my choice, but I suspect he'll be the one. all that veteran presence and whatnot.
  16. sure there is. You don't need 8 RPs every game. You just don't. There is plenty of room for him right now. Free Garver. As for the hitters in the last section, not one is all that exciting. And I doubt very much Goodrum is on a roster for more than a week or two at a time.
  17. huh? Kintzler has been nothing short of good the last two years. Just because he once played in the Indy leagues doesn't mean he or the Twins are bad. Turley, imo, has a shot to be a legit bullpen arm. I'd really like to see him tried there this year in MN.
  18. because they have no pitching, corner OF are easier to find in FA, and Rosario might be able to get a legit SP back in return. Well, that was it for some people, not all.
  19. They sacrificed early in the game again? Or tried? Can't wait for a new manager
