    A guy who is in a slump and has a .043 average can push a bunt down the left side and walk to 1b? You take the single a few times and teams stop doing it. How stupid can these guys be?

    I have nothing against Castro but he is an average MLB catcher. Passes the eye test for me defensively has his moments offensively but isn't a game changer. Tell me why not Graver. Has hit everywhere he has played, put up good defense numbers in the high minors. Seems OK behind the plate seems more of a comfort thing then anything. Convince me why not Graver more moving forward or why should we.

    Adrianza is a better shortstop and he started at 3rd and LF. Polanco is going to be the SS until he proves he can’t. If he’s functional and the bat continues to produce he will stay at SS but Polanco is not a long term option at SS.

    I want nothing to do with Garcia if it cost thorpe. Stewart is fine. Thorpe has a chance to be an impact arm. You can have any minors bat not named Garver Gordon Royce Lewis. Pitching wins and stockpiling arms gives us the best chance of sustained sucks.

    I think there is a way to stay competitive while still selling some pieces. I am a believer that we have seen the best of Ervin santana. Put him on the market as soon as the remaining teams loss out on Grey. Could likely get a pitcher ready to fill in now. Plus future assets. Dozi er should be another on the market. Polanco move to second and role with adrienza and escobar at SS. You can still buy some relief help like Hand and Neshek and still be in the same position as now

    Vargas hits another bomb and this one was a rocket! Hitting .300 with 4 hr in 10 games. I know small sample but he looks comfortable up there. Hoping it continues and he's our regular DH part time 1B
  7. High heat
    You let a good hitting team get hot. Can't give good teams extra outs. That's not to say there isn't some bullpen changes needed. I'm ready to see the young cats sink or swim in the pen.

    Hoping zack Granite is in Rochester by the end of the week. Another good month in Rochester he could be dawning a twins uniform. Injuries are bound to happen and premium defense in the outfield has been key to our success this far. Robbie just won't cut it filling in long term in the outfield from what I see.
  9. High heat
    Here to hoping Brian Navareto can learn how to hit. By all accounts he is big league ready defensively but if you can't hit .200 in single A. You might as well bring a purse with you to the plate in the bigs. Looks like he is doing better the first month this season hoping more at bats like today!
  10. High heat
    I would love to buy out some free against years now from Sano. He looks so much more engaged at 3rd then he did in RF or DH. I would also talk to Buxton and see if he would take $ up front and buy some years showing confidence in him as well
  11. High heat
    Has anyone else seen enough of this guy? Yes he throws hard but you can't blow it by big league hitters and it's straight. The guy is so slow to the plate everyone can steal a bag off of him. Let's cut bait and send him down, no ones picking him up.
  12. High heat
    Watching this guy this spring I really like and hope he makes the team and gets some decent playing time. I'm in the camp that a good fielding SS is a must, I know Polonco doesn't have a position and needs to play but I think a super utility role for him would have been much better. Adrianza has even hit a bit this spring. I think over all it's much better to have a SS who plays good D and hits a .250 without much power then a guy who's poor defensively and hits.
  13. High heat
    I'd sit and wait and see how things shake out. Romero has top of the rotation stuff Gonsalves has been successful at every stop and again has a prototype pitchers frame from the left side. TylerJay has top of the rotation stuff if he can stay health and master a change up or good 3rd pitch. If not he is a Glenn perkins as a reliever. Jorge and Stewart aren't anything special to me but neither are they to other teams. Maybe Stewart figures it out or Jorge's pitching style will continue being successful in the majors.
  14. High heat
    De Leon, Alvarez, Scott Kazmir. Get it done and work on moving Ervin Santana. Maybe kazmir stays health and is effective and you can flip him later.
  15. High heat
    I'd see if the padres wanna give up Christian Bethancourt. He's out of options was a top catching prospect a few yrs ago. Has a cannon and good defensively hits right handed with decent power. High upside gamble but I really dislike the cereal killer John Ryan Murphy.
  16. High heat
    Now that the Red Sox traded for Sale they have seven starters and a surplus of lefties. What would it cost to get Rodriguez? Would a deal around Park and a hard throwing reliever peak Bostons interested?
  17. High heat
    Why crape the bottom of the scrap heap? Would rather just role with Murphy,Garver and Turner. The only one on this you could make a case for is Avila because he is left handed.
  18. High heat
    Very good point on needing to keep guys who you can cut on your 40 man to sign players. The rule 5 is either high upside guys or guys ready now who are blocked in other systems. Pitchers are easier to hide and let pitch up mop up duty, so Remero and Jorge should be givens to add. Garver is close to the majors and plays a position of great need around the league also a given. Here is my argument for adding Vielma and leaving Palka and Granite off. Vielma has great speed and plays great defense at a premium defensive position. If he hits he has All star talent, he is easy to stick on the end of a bench pinch run and defensive replacement especially in the NL. Palka plays corner outfield and isn't great at it and hits left handed. Hard for a guy to stick on the bench who doesn't add much unless you think he is good enough to be an everyday guy. If he was right handed and mashed lefties I'd have a different opinion. Palka would get drafted but would likely come back to use. Granite is a fourth outfielder, had a great year last year but just doesn't have that high upside. If he did what he did for multiple years or at triple A I might had considered it more but the rule 5 doesn't consistently see guys like Granite get drafted and stashed. I want to keep a spot open as well so we can draft someone in the rule 5. We have the first pick correct?

    Like to see hitting well and that the coaches think he is one of the top hitters as well batting him 4th. Also it sounded like he threw out 2 of the 3 would be base stealers and had some nice things to say about quickly learning new pitchers and working with them. Would like to be able to count on Garver as a catching option in 17.
  20. High heat
    I'd cut Grossman, Santana, Centeno, Plouffe and add Granite Palma Garver Vielma. If A spot isneeded For an extra pitcher I'd remove ABW.
  21. High heat
    I'd like to see Vielma get a long look this spring. He battled injury this year but he has good speed and some have said the best glove at SS in the minors. I don't mind Escobar there but Polanco cant play SS. Either him or Dozier need to be moved this winter. As for Gordon the next few weeks in AFL will tell a lot about where this kid is and has to go work on. His skill set should be intrigueing
  22. High heat
    I think Vargas and Polonco plays a factor in Grossman staying or going as well. Vargas and Polonco are out of options next yr, if you are keeping Polonco as a utility guy or the SS that leaves him or Escobar as the super utility. Vargas has played well and his upside is like his body type. If he is the DH I don't want Grossman taking at bats from Vargas or Escobar or Polonco. I think it would be a different story if Grossman played better defensively but he has been a far cry from the former CFer. That's not even considering any free agent signings or players acquire by trade. I think Grossman is going to be the 26th man and a victim of the roster crunch if he is worth something get it even if it is a flyer on a young guy in the low minors.
  23. High heat
    You can't keep playing Turner and Garver at the same level. Turner back in AA until Garver reaches the majors.
  24. High heat
    Why is Garver not in AAA catching everyday? You don't get better defensively DHing. Murphy had his shot time for him to play backup to a guy who looks more and more like our catcher of the future.
  25. High heat
    If Suzuki goes on the DL what the twins plan for catching day to day. I like Centeno but I think he will get exposed offensively and has holes defensively. John Ryan Murphy hasn't earned everyday MLB at bats. He hasn't hit at aaa and he didn't show me anything special defensively. Does Turner or Garver get an everyday opportunity in the majors? Are we now stuck with Suzuki the rest of the season if he goes on the DL?
