  11. HitInAPinch
    OK Mauer! THREE MORE OF THOSE ! please....
  12. HitInAPinch
    Nunez hitting .331 as Twins leadoff hitter this year? w00t!!
  13. HitInAPinch
    Thanks. ESPN site doesn't give the batting order numbers. So they could be jerking us around on the Indians batting order.

    Cleveland must be in OT (Obtuse Time) timezone. No lineup yet. Twins Lineup 1. Eduardo Nunez ® SS 2. Joe Mauer (L) 1B 3. Miguel Sano ® 3B 4. Brian Dozier ® 2B 5. Max Kepler (L) RF 6. Kennys Vargas (S) DH 7. Robbie Grossman (S) LF 8. Kurt Suzuki ® C 9. Byron Buxton ® CF EDIT: Found it on ESPN site: C. Santana, DH J. Kipnis, 2B F. Lindor, SS M. Napoli, 1B J. Ramirez, 3B L. Chisenhall, RF Y. Gomes, C T. Naquin, CF R. Davis, LF

    Kevin Jepsen has resigned with Tampa Bay. Don't know about his boy Elroy....
  16. HitInAPinch
    Last word on Buxton was he had a bone bruise and should be ready to play.
  17. HitInAPinch
    IDK. I think Nunez is more of a valuable trade piece than most. If I'm the guy trading him, I'd be looking for more than Zunino. His K rates in 2014-15 in Seattle [in significant number of AB's] are AWESOME. Only 2 games in the MLB so far this year. I'd be looking hard for the next Salvador Perez rather than this guy.

    Guessing it would depend on how badly the Yanks want to call up Sanchez and how interested another team would be in a 32 years old catcher and is owed $17MM in both 2017 and 2018 (plus a $15MM vesting option for the 2019 season).
  19. HitInAPinch
    I question Ryan Pressly. He has probably the longest delivery by a relief pitcher I've ever seen. He has problems repeating it consistently. And I think we know why the starting staff has stunk: the veterans the Twins signed [to give MiLB starters time to mature] were bottom of the basement signings, in terms of talent. No other starter wanted to sign with the Twins.
  20. HitInAPinch
    The tough part to swallow with the Twins developing pitchers in the minors is the fact that they can not hire veterans better than MLB "hand me downs" to fill in those spots. It's one thing to have someone "serving a purpose" and to have someone is actually "serviceable". On the other hand, it's slowly working. Painfully slow.
  21. HitInAPinch
    Overall, yeah, I agree. I still have questions in my head asking if there were more things in play that lead to the call-ups. They all seemed to be synchronized i.e. Plouffe suddenly playing some 1st and DH, making some starts available for Sano at 3rd, leading to the call-up of Kepler to play RF. Call it a backwards conspiracy theory But however all this works out, I really believe it's time for a change in management. New direction is needed, much like KC a few years ago under Dayton Moore. And with that, a change in ownership. Would be nice to see a more aggressive owner for a change.
  22. HitInAPinch
    I'm watching progress, more than anything. Any moving of veterans may not happen this year. I think the highest sought after Twin may be Suzuki. Teams will over look his defense after his new found offensive surge. E. Santana has had one really great start. In a few more, he could be highly sought after. Between now and the end of the season, I'd like to see another rush of MiLB'ers for audition: who's close to ready, who needs more time. I could really care less about this season's record. I want to see progress and that will need to come from the MiLB.

    SOLD !!

    I'm wondering: what's the percentage of middle / setup relievers that become +closerswhat's the percentage of late season acquisitions that are successful in playoff pushwhat's the percentage of late season acquisitions that stay with that team and are successful next year"If you live in the past, you die in the past." Mike Ditka, circa 2008 “The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed." William Gibson, circa 2003
  25. HitInAPinch
    Yup, can argue with MLBTR's opinion when put into "Twins context": These guys are another group of AAAA-type players that are holding down roster spots for Twins minor leaguers to develop further. They are serving a purpose, for now.
