    I work/live in NY now and if the Twins can find a way to beat NY I will be ecstatic! Basically my whole office are Yankees' fans and it will make for a miserable couple of weeks if I have to listen to all of them about how good the Yankees are.
  2. SF Twins Fan
    Since he is one of the top pitching prospects and getting so close to the MLB I'd just shut him down for the season. It would be great for him to get some playoff experience but I'd rather they not risk him getting injured. Shut him down and start him at AA next season with the chance to move up to AAA really quick if he has a good 5 + starts.

    I had the game on but wasn't following closely. Does anyone else know why Santana was pulled after 7 Innings when he was only at 91 pitches?
  4. SF Twins Fan
    It sounds like Perkins is in MN but might still be sent to Rochester for a couple of games.

    Never heard of this but here is a breakdown: https://www.epainassist.com/sports-injuries/arm-and-elbow-injuries/brachialis-pain https://secure.familyhealthtracker.com/deliver.aspx?s=lg&t=di&l=en&f=%7Bb2574e3d-7051-4e18-b1fe-ebc6e9318aad%7D&key=26dd85c28d515a89bff6d8625ddf298a

    I just don't get this. What does Garver need to do to get a chance up here.
  7. SF Twins Fan
    Yup, and additions and subtractions happen in season every year. If injuries happen to players with larger contracts and they're being paid by insurance that would allow the FO to make trades for players with larger contacts.
  8. SF Twins Fan
    It's not a side bar at all? If the two injured players mentioned, who have larger contracts, are being paid by insurance that to me would mean the actual payroll is significantly lower. And just as Gunnarthor stated that might have been why the Pohlad's were willing to eat most of Garcia's contract. So, it does in fact come into play when talking about the total payroll. Edit: Plus we aren't talking about every other team. We're talking about the cheap a$$ Pohlads, so any money gained via insurance is a really big deal.
  9. SF Twins Fan
    I mean technically it's $108 million but you'd have to assume some of these injured players making money are all being paid by insurance. I'm mainly referring to Perkins and Hughes. I doubt the Pohlad's are paying for either of those contacts this season, so it's probably a lot closer to $90 to $95 million they're actually paying.
  10. SF Twins Fan
    You'd have to figure the Pohlad's will let them spend more than this season. Maybe that's wishful thinking, but they need to increase the payroll to at least $115 million next season. They might be able to convince the owners to have the one year increase knowing Mauer's $23 million will be coming off the books the next season.

    I'd say Santana is a much better overall hitter. His OPS is nearly 50 points higher and he has 43 XBH this season compared to Grossman's 22. The only reason I threw Seth Smith's name out there was because of the difficulty of finding a RH power bat that won't cost $15 + million.
  12. SF Twins Fan
    I don't think anything needs to happen in CF. Buxton has less than 700 PA in the MLB and other than the first 15 games of the season is doing fine. He needs to get his SLG % into the .400's, which in turn will increase his OPS into the mid .700s Carlos Santana to me would be the best option. He's going to get a decent contract, probably 3 years at $8 - $10 million per, is a switch hitter and can play some 1st base in a pinch. But what about Seth Smith? He's a lefty but has put up solid numbers and would be a cheaper option, which would allow the FO to spend more money on the pitching staff. There are a lot of left handed RF / 1B / DH but I'd assume they will all get $15 million plus a season. Those players include Hosmer, Mouse, JD, Alonso, Morrison and Bruce
  13. SF Twins Fan
    I'd rather them spend the money it's going to take to get Moustakas on pitching. There is no way the FO is going to go get a top quality pitcher plus spending 15 to 20 million a season on a position player. I also don't understand trading Buxton either. Watching Granite out in CF the last two weeks makes it clear how much Buxton does on defense and no other player in the MLB comes close. Lorenzo Cain is going to be 32 at the start of next season. Do you really want to sign him to a 3 to 5 year deal on the decline of his career?
  14. SF Twins Fan
    The spots in the lineup the Twins need more production from are CF, SS, C and DH. If you remove the first 15 games of the season for Buxton where he had 4 hits in 49 at bats he's has a .250 BA, .328 OBP, .356 SLG and a .683 OPS. If he can increase his overall numbers to get his OPS to .750 I think everyone would be happy with that production based on the elite defense he provides. SS has been a real disappointment this year. Polanco looked great the first month or two but has drastically fallen down. If Gordon is still in the organization next season he might be able to come up mid way through the season. As a few other's pointed out above Garver could have a big impact on this lineup as he's an ideal platoon with Castro. I'm hoping Gimenez is moved in the next week to two weeks and Garver is given plenty of playing time for the last six weeks of the season. DH is the one position I'd like to see the Twins spend money on in the offseason. Get someone who has a high OBP and is going to hit 25 + homeruns. A bench next season of Granite, Garver, Escobar and another FA could be a strong bench.

    Some potentially good news to start off August with.
  16. SF Twins Fan
    Twins are stocking up on pitching and I love it!!!

    Going to be pretty disappointed if a trade isn't announced...
  20. SF Twins Fan
    A few people to keep in mind as the deadline approaches.
  21. SF Twins Fan
    One less pitcher on the market but also one less trade partner.
  22. SF Twins Fan
    Watson is only 20 years old, so he's 2 years younger than the league.
  23. SF Twins Fan
    What about one of Tyler Watson, Rafael Bautista or Kelvin Gutierrez plus another lower level prospect? Is that too much or too little?
  24. SF Twins Fan
    If that is the case who should the Twins be targeting from the Nationals? A couple of prospects in the 15 to 25 range?
