    It really goes to show how depleted the market is going to be for rental bats. Last year Carlos Beltran got a decent haul. This year, not so much. It's going to be the year of the pitcher for this trade deadline.

    That's what happens when hundreds, yes, hundreds of people post on this site. Everyone has their favorites. Everyone has their scapegoats.

    2 out of 3 against the Yanks is no small feat. Good for the Twins! During this off-day, they really need to get this pitching staff/short bench situation figured out. Send down a pitcher and call up a position player to prevent situations like today from happening. Polanco probably needs some mental days off from baseball. Grossman should only play LF in case of emergency.

    Even this is a little generous... 9:51 Sterling Mallory Chris Archer: Thanks Jeff, now I need to explain to my boss why my productivity dropped on a Wednesday instead of a Friday. And I don’t have my usual weekend excuse. Odds Dozier can repeat his insane second half from last year? 9:51 Jeff Sullivan: 10%!

    Too early for a candlelight vigil thread? http://michaelkonik.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/candlelight-vigil-for-victims-of-bad-people.jpg

    I'll take a .250 BA from Buxton all day long. Especially since he provides elite defense and base-running. This is very encouraging.
  7. Vanimal46
    Not surprising. I don't expect him to do any better against the Dodgers and he'll probably hang it up.
  8. Vanimal46
    Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad plan to sign Zack Cozart this off-season as the primary SS, and let Polanco be the new Escobar rotating around the diamond.
  9. Vanimal46
    Seeing Pressly come into the game during the 8th or 9th inning would be disastrous this season. I don't know what it is this year - mental, physical, mechanical - something is broken. He's not going to fix it in the majors.

    On a positive note for us Twins fans, the Tigers look like they got a modest, at best, return for JD Martinez. I would be upset if I were a Tigers fan.
  11. Vanimal46
    They should do both options... Trade a non-essential prospect, or an older prospect the FO doesn't have faith in for a RP. And get rid of the failed RPs on roster (Breslow, Pressly, Belisle) for minor leaguers. Reed and Curtiss should be on an advanced development schedule to get them to the majors ASAP.

    White Sox now have 6 top 30 prospects according to the MLB.com list....
  13. Vanimal46
    Polanco has less than 600 PAs. This is what you see with young players. Lots of ups and downs. Let's settle down on the Polanco sucks train of thought.
  14. Vanimal46
    Escobar doesn't play SS anymore.
  15. Vanimal46
    Pressly and Breslow still having a job in the majors has certainly bothered me the most this season.

    Promoted to Fort Myers today! http://newnation.sg/wp-content/uploads/excited-gif-06.gif

    Per Mike Berardino on Twitter: "Source w/direct knowledge confirms Dillon Gee was placed on outright waivers to make room for Colon on 40-man roster." Breslow took Vargas' place on the roster.
  19. Vanimal46
    No need for any signs with the Big Sexy. All that guy does is throw the heater!
  20. Vanimal46
    You named 2 AL teams, and only the Astros are clear division winners. Chief was talking about the AL Wildcard, which currently has 5-6 teams around .500 competing for 2 spots.
  21. Vanimal46
    At this point, especially with RP, the team's needing 20-25 good innings from them in the regular season. Hopefully Falvey finds a diamond in the rough and trades a non-essential prospect to acquire them. Dave Cameron on Fangraphs suggests some guy named Danny Barnes from the Blue Jays as a sneaky trade piece. As far as a SP, ideally a controllable pitcher beyond this year. But, if they can trade a prospect they don't believe in for a rental, maybe that could help too.
  22. Vanimal46
    Aaron Hicks with 2 of those hits, including a solo HR?
  23. Vanimal46
    Gee was removed from the 40 man roster, and Vargas was sent down to AAA.
  24. Vanimal46
    Concur 100%. I don't know how Falvey and Levine could walk down to the clubhouse if they decide to sell off players for the future while this team is competitive. It would send a horrible message to the young players, coaching staff, and fans.
  25. Vanimal46
    Dave Cameron updated his List of Buyers and Sellers yesterday. While the Twins still remain a bubble team, their % chance to make the playoffs has improved since last month!
