    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.

    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.

    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.
  5. darin617
    The Twins need to be claiming pretty much everyone for the bullpen and sadly now any hitter right now and see if they can solve them. Even if one out of every 10 can stick it's better than the current alternative.

    Because he's hurt.

    Keibler got promoted because he's already on the 40 man roster. DFA Outman, send down Lewis and add Arcia to the 40 man and promote him.

    I'm all for picking up any pitchers that gets dumped and giving them a shot. A relief pitcher doesn't need more than 2 or 3 pitches to be effective. I'm also surprised that the Twins are smart enough to just have a guy throw his plus pitches.
  9. darin617
    Lewis most likely will be gone before you know it. The smartest thing they could do would be to send him down and let him try to find his swing in St Paul.
  10. darin617
    Any chance that Brooks Lee can give his dad's phone number to Royce Lee to help him find his swing again?
  11. darin617
    The current pitchers in the bullpen are blowing games left and right. Changes can be a good thing.
  12. darin617
    All he wants is a major league contract now. I just wish they would have signed a couple of veterans for the bullpen in the off-season that weren't so washed up. They could have flipped them for prospects at the deadline.
  13. darin617
    Still would be better than Topa or Banda. From what I read he was pitching good in the minors. I'd rather take a chance on them over pretty much anyone in the current bullpen.
  14. darin617
    I know both veteran relief pitchers aren't what they were in their prime, but as bad as the bullpen has been what do they have to lose? It's just so frustrating that the Twins have been getting good starting pitching and the bullpen blows it. I would also expect both veteran pitchers would only get veteran minimum so they won't be adding much to the payroll.
  15. darin617
    I'll say it again, thank you for your minor league updates.
  16. darin617
    I would be contacting Lou Trivino and Tom Kahnle and bring at least one of them in. This is so embarrassing that they get good starting pitching and then the bullpen implodes on a daily basis. Both veteran pitchers are available and would easily be an improvement
  17. darin617
    I always enjoy watching the daily updates every night.
  18. darin617
    Prielipp pitched really good in his debut. I just hope he can remain in the rotation and they can stretch his pitch count a little every start.
  19. darin617
    I just hope Roden isn't out for the entire season.
  20. darin617
    I just hope Roden isn't out for the entire season.
  21. darin617
    Yep.
  22. darin617
    Nice job tracking all the former players.
  23. darin617
    Reach out to Boston about Aroldis Chapman. They are in freefall this season. They can even do it the Twins way and send better prospects to have Boston eat most of the contract.
  24. darin617
    Houston has surely been hot so far.
  25. darin617
    Correct
