    Should've kept LaMarre up too. Since he's also the mop-up pitcher it makes sense.
  2. Shaitan
    Unless he bunts it off his foot. Didn't a previous article say he's not fully healed? I hope it doesn't mean he can't run at full speed.
  3. Shaitan
    I assume it's easier for younger people to recover from surgery than people in their 30s. Best of luck to him.

    Change arbitration rules so HRs for batters and K for pitchers don't influence salary as much. I'm not saying I support it, but what else can they do at the league level? Otherwise, I'd say this is a coaching issue.
  5. Shaitan
    Here's to hoping they're all teammates in MN in a few years.
  6. Shaitan
    How does their strikeout rate compare to league average? I mean, every hitter strikes out about once per game nowadays.
  7. Shaitan
    Never worry about having too many good players. Especially with a 162 game season.

    I agree with everything you say here. Unfortunately, that 10 days of mediocre to bad starts from the rotation put them in this position. When you don't get quality starts it creates a cycle of roster moves like this. I think we're stuck with two mop-up pitchers until an injury or recovery forces another move.

    I'm glad about the win, but this victory has the same issue many of the season's early win's had: all the runs are coming on HRs. They need to start hitting with runners on base.

    He has every right to refuse. That's not a personality issue, it's a right to privacy. Yes, conditioning is important to his job. That doesn't mean his employer should follow him around and monitor everything he does in his free time.
  11. Shaitan
    I wish he was better at 2B. It would set up the Twins well to rest Dozier in the second half.
  12. Shaitan
    I didn't see that coming.

    I think the Twins always keep a hitter and a pitcher on the yearround shuttle as the 26th man. I see the last 48 hours as a sign that Slegers is that pitcher this year. Last year is was Pressly/Vargas for pitch/hit. The year before, probably Tonkin/Vargas. This year's hitter...I'd guess Vargas or Granite. We'll find out soon, because if they don't start hitting soon somebody is hitting the waiver wire or DL.

    Or he could see that he's clearly the next player the front office has in mind for a MLB roster spot and be happy about it. He's ahead of everyone else in Rochester. Riding the MLB/AAA shuttle is a part of the job. If nothing else, he got a raise for one day. If a player is personally slighted each time they face adversity, I don't think they're bound for MLB success. Frustrated, sure. Anger, though, is a whole different level.

    It was time to move on, but this doesn't surprise me in any way.
  16. Shaitan
    He can't be worse than what they've put out there over the last week.
  17. Shaitan
    No vets are going anywhere before May...though that's only a week away.
  18. Shaitan
    I would like to see Kepler and Morrison switched in the lineup though.
  19. Shaitan
    Quality starts are a terribly named statistic, but probably the most important. Any bullpen does okay if the starters can consistently give you 6 innings. The Twins need one more starter. I wish I knew who it was, since Romero is on an innings limit this year. Maybe Romero can start now and move to the pen when Santana returns or something. The offense is another situation. They'll get it going, but it's painful to wait.
  20. Shaitan
    Why would we want to recall Moya? He was as lost out there as Kinley. He needs AAA time. I wonder if we're stuck with a floating AAAA arm at the 25th spot until Santana returns and Hughes moves to long relief.
  21. Shaitan
    Can a DH come into the field as a pitcher? Has it happened? (I'm thinking it could in Anaheim this year.)
  22. Shaitan
    I don't remember a mid-inning position player coming in to pitch.
  23. Shaitan
    I don't think that's true when there is another player put on the DL.
  24. Shaitan
    Find me a minor leaguer who doesn't have mixed/bad reviews of their defense. Fundamentals are important, but most players truly master it from getting experience at the highest level. From Dozier to Morneau to Koskie to Gaetti to a million others, infield defense seems like it usually gets better once a player has been in the bigs for a couple of years.
  25. Shaitan
    Unless the roof caves in.
