    The Twins need to see improvement from their lefty relievers. It’s fun to watch Thielbar’s curveball when it buckles a batter’s knees, but he hasn’t had consistent effectiveness to say the least. Okert is almost as much of a problem. Funderburk needs to get healthy so we can see if he is the best left-handed option in the pen. when I see what other team’s paid, I’m OK with the Twins not overpaying for mediocre players.

    I never knew there was anyone other than Debbie with that last name - Harry. This was a mini salary dump by the Jays. Otherwise, it’s pretty dull

    Sometimes it’s best to make no deal. No deal would have been better than the deals for Matt Capps and Jorge Lopez. Both were highly regarded before the Twins dealt for them. if it ain’t a lefty, I’ll take Dobber for nuttin’
  4. strumdatjag
    The Twins don’t have to give up anything to bring back the Dobber. A lefty reliever would be nice if the process right.
  5. strumdatjag
    My bad. I got my info from another source that must have been wrong.

    Don’t swing for the fences! The Astros just gave up their 2nd and 3rd prospects for Yusei Kikuchi. That is way too much. The Twins equivalent would be giving up Zebby Matthews and Emmanuel Rodriguez. No way we should be bidding that type of talent for mid to low rotation guys.

    The Tigers are not going to part with Skubal. He is the #1 starter that they will build a rotation around.

    As late as a month ago, I thought the Twins could stand pat and use internal options. However, it’s become clear that the Twins need left-handed pitching. A lefty starter would be nice, but one in the pen is essential. Maybe Okert and/ir Thielbar can be productive for the rest of this year, but MAYBE ain’t good enough. Funderburk is banged up. I don’t see any immediate help in the farm system. So, an addition via trade is necessary.

    One less lefty available. The Twins need effective left-handed pitching.
  10. strumdatjag
    If the Twins dump Funderburk, Thielbar and Okert, that completely obliterates the left-handed pitching. That is not a viable option. Even if the Twins pick up a lefty starter at the deadline, they need an option or two in the pen.

    Festa had a nice effort on Wednesday. But what else does Randy Dobnak have to do to prove he has earned a call up???
  12. strumdatjag
    Whorff takes another step. It’s exciting to know that the Twins have the first Klingon player in the history of pro ball. Make it so!

    This will be a tough series against the best team in MLB. The Twins have top players on IL, and the top relievers were used up against the Cheese- heads. Hope our injured players are back soon.

    The speech and appearances on MLB Network were much better than the old “ya-know” filled post-game interviews of the past. Looks like it was well-prepared, practiced and heart-felt. Good work Joe - great career.

    Actually, I have had plantar fasciitis in my right foot but not my left foot (where I have torn my Achilles). My Doctor, who also has had PF, says I haven’t had a problem in my left foot because of the release of tension during the Achilles tear. The exercises she gave me for the PF (they worked) stretched the tendons from my calf muscle thru the bottom of my foot. It’s all interconnected.
  16. strumdatjag
    Didn’t know the problem wasn’t in same or both feet. Thanks.
  17. strumdatjag
    I’m not saying I’m asking. I think there should be a conversation on this.

    C4 is missing the All-Star game with a sore foot. He had reduced production last year because of pain in his feet. Can anyone here make us feel better about this NOT being a chronic problem with the Twins FOOTING the bill?
  19. strumdatjag
    It’s an overpay. The Twins finally look like they are developing top pitchers in their minor league system. Don’t blow it up. The new M&M Boys,Matthews and Morris, should be close to untouchable (unless another team wants to overpay for them!).
  20. strumdatjag
    We won’t get much for our rent-a-player. Better to keep him for the stretch run. Max deserves loyalty which will pay off (with this and other similar decisions) in making the Target Field a more attractive place to play for free agents in the future. it helps when players go voluntarily to other teams and talk up how they liked playing for the Twins.
  21. strumdatjag
    I still think the situation around tge RV contract keeps the Twins from going after these big buck starters.
  22. strumdatjag
    Unless one of our starters is out for the season, adding a #4 or #5 (or #6) guy to the rotation does nothing for this rotation.
  23. strumdatjag
    Don’t forget Fundy. The Twins have left-handed options. Agreed - Not perfect.
  24. strumdatjag
    The Twins will not open their wallet to sign a quality starter. The only cheap one who could help played in Mexico this year and is controversial (especially here at TD). . With Stewart and Topa returning and Varland, Festa, even Dobber in the minors, the Twins are going to be deciding who needs to be left OFF any playoff roster. They have no need to trade for another reliever to add to that question. Nothing can or should be done before the deadline.

    I edited my response to include Willi Castro on a list of great utility guys, but he is up there with Escobar and Tovar.
