    He wasn't making millions of dollars.

    SWR will get claimed and they will try to get him into the minors. It might take 3 teams until the rest of the league gives up on him. I would have tried him in the bullpen and only let him throw his plus pitches. If that only leaves him with 2 pitches that's fine for 1 inning of relief.

    I really don't think a move to first could be accomplished as easy as you may think. The easier idea could be DH and platooning in left with Larnach.

    He still has a lack of knowledge of the strike zone. He's still chasing bad pitches. Nothing has changed besides facing lessor talented pitchers.

    I'm not sure why the Twins said Brooks Lee is their third baseman after sending Royce Lewis down. They didn't have to make any statement, and if was pressed they could say they feel most comfortable with Lee at third over the other current candidates on the roster. What makes even less sense is Lewis is playing third for St Paul. If they plan on moving Lewis to a different position what are they waiting for? He probably makes more sense at first or one of the corner outfield spots. Or simply make him.the DH. I would expect Lewis is fighting back against a position change and most likely trying to force a trade. They won't trade him when he has no value.

    If that was the case he would be on the 60 day IL and they would open up a roster spot.
  7. darin617
    Have they put any time frame on his return?
  8. darin617
    Has there been any reports on how long he will be out for? Hopefully it's not too long and he can possibly get called up by the Twins. From what I have seen Hendry Mendez is looking like the next outfielder up if Jenkins and Rodriguez can't stay healthy.
  9. darin617
    I doubt it. I don't think he's got a good eye at the plate. He's always chasing pitches and gets worse when he's behind on the count.

    He will be able to crush AAA pitching. The only problem is the gap between AAA and the majors. They may be challenging him in AAA trying to blow him away. In the majors he will look lost and not be able to handle it when they throw harder and pin point location.

    I agree. When you don't have legit stars they should just simply do players in the Twins HOF. There's nobody that would have been upset with a Hrbek or a Killebrew jersey day.
  12. darin617
    I saw they had it on screen last night but I had the game turned low and missed it. Thanks!

    I saw his interview and he was upset he got demoted. Apparently he doesn't look at his stats or any video. I would expect the Twins to recall him before June 6th when they have his jersey giveaway. I would make him stay in St Paul for more than 2 weeks. Like I said before he should have been sent to Fort Myers for 2 weeks and if he got his stuff figure out and week or so in St Paul.
  14. darin617
    Lewis should have been sent to Fort Myers. He needs a mental reset along with just about every fundamental baseball skill.
  15. darin617
    Maybe the Twins believe in him.as an infielder. Is he another shorter version of Carson McCuster with some speed? I would have more confidence in him than Wallner.
  16. darin617
    I was listening to Trevor Plouffe and he tried working with him on his swing and trying to reduce his leg kick. He didn't retain anything they tried to fix. The best thing to do with Wallner & Royce Lewis would be to send them both to Fort Myers. At least there they wouldn't have the distractions and less pressure. Both of them need a mental reset along with finding their swings again.
  17. darin617
    How about turning Royce into a left handed bat and 1st base while they are at it.
  18. darin617
    They send the jerseys to St Paul and every fan gets 5 jerseys.
  19. darin617
    Would you rather see Garcia & Lewis continue to struggle or give some veterans a shot. With payroll limitations they Sadly have to dumpster dive and hope to find a diamond in the rough. It would also give them a chance to hope to fix Lewis.
  20. darin617
    Luis Garcia has been terrible for the Twins and Matt Bowman exercised his opt out and has to be added to the active roster by Wednesday. Bowman has been impressive for the Saints and the way the bullpen has pitched the Twins need all the help they can get. At worst if Bowman flops in the majors the can keep claiming DFA players and hope to find a serviceable arm.
  21. darin617
    Some would say that's a good problem to have but I don't see it that way. A player can't get hot when they aren't playing every day. You also can't break out of a slump either. You would think Emmanuel Rodriguez would get called up when he gets healthy and is playing well.
  22. darin617
    So how does the playing time for Wallner in St Paul? There were too many players there between outfield and DH already. So when everyone is healthy in St Paul how will it pan out.
  23. darin617
    I know this sounds bad, but I don't think anyone thinks they are trying to win. If they can win 75-80 games it would be a major accomplishment with the team they have to work with. They should give SWR a few weeks to figure it out in the bullpen before dumping him. The best case scenario is they can dream up some sort of injury and put him on a rehab assignment and see if anything clicks. You also don't dump a former prospect so quickly when he's not getting a huge salary.

    I was always against turning him into a bullpen arm after the Twins chose Mick Abel as the 5th starter out of spring training. Zebby did struggle to start the season but has put up quite a few good starts for ST Paul to earn a promotion. A team can never have enough starters and they aren't even half way through May. Unless a starter only has 2 plus pitches they should remain starters and resist the urge to use them to fix the ailing bullpen.
  25. darin617
    A bullpen move is what should happening next. A team would claim him and try to sneak him through waivers. I could see SWR going through 4+ organizations this year.
