    Yes, it has got to stop!

    Sanchez looks for a comeback! https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/05/blue-jays-aaron-sanchez-agree-to-minor-league-deal.html

    Still a mess (because I'm a freebie) reading on my phone. Too many popups on the iPhone. Disconnects. Ads are the name of the business.

    t's a shame. But they are getting regular play to prove themselves better than some other guys. Problem is Santana IS playing first base. Not Miranda. Not Kirilloff. If Miranda and Martin are basically going to sit on the bench, or rotate into the gamne, better to have them play everyday for half-the-season...and hope some of these aging warm bodies who WON'T be with the team in 2025 will increased their worth and be able to be flipped for a low-level prospect at the very least. (plus the chance to have anoeehr team eat more of their salary). I almost question the need to keep folks like Severino or Wallner on the 40-man. Again, if they can increase their stats enough to be part of a trade...both could be better replaced by a few guys at AA right now, and Kiersey would be a better choice for a future roster add (not to mention Rodriguez) if you need that backup outfielder. Same issue with bullpen arms. But at some point you play to win games, not to increase a player's worth. And the longterm outlook of the team.,

    Poor Dalton is spending more time travelling between St. Paul and WEichita than he is spending in actual clubhouses.

    This was the OTHER Randy Johnson, my friend.

    Someone explain the Boushley move to me. A guy who is you take him off he 40-man would walk? Why not just keep Funderburk? Until you need Topa. Does Alcala go, and you can only send guys up-and-down so many times during the season.
  8. Rosterman
    Always look at those that MAY NOT be back in 2025. Jackson, I believe, has a second-year option (for some reason). The Twins, I'm sure, would love to move Vasquez, too. Is Paddack safe? Kepler will be gone, so is mid-season tradebait. The Twins can also think about the need to keep Topa or Staumont, both on major league contracts.
  9. Rosterman
    I can't wait to see what happens when Lewis and Correa, not to mention Duran, Topa come back.It would be a shame to demote Funderburk and, say, Sands because you can (or even Bowman). When the questionable arms are Thielbar and Jackson. Not to mention Alcala deserves to be a Twin. And there is still Staumont hoping for big league work. And on offense, better to keep Martin and Miranda than Farmer, Margot or Santana if you had to make a choice. But we can send the young guys down and not eat salary. The Twins wasted a lot of signing dollars and even tradebait on players that won't be arund in 2025 for sure. Sadly.
  10. Rosterman
    They did overpay for Vasquez, but was hoping for the one of the season before signing. The plus, the guy can throw. Part of stolen bases also relies on the pitcher. And Vasquez shows that him and Correa if it down to a science, less so Castro, or even Julien. But Julien is working on it. And someone ahs to contribute to making 24-27 outs in a game, so every line-up can afford to have a Mendoza-line player (or even two) at times. But the flip side is that the other 7 have to hit better than .250. Considering the depth in the Twins system, with a replacement catcher still being possibly another season away.....
  11. Rosterman
    He can still be a player if he takes care of himself, and remains coachable. If the Twins had kept him for 2023, would he have been any worse than, say, Joey Gallo...except Gallo could play all outfield spots.
  12. Rosterman
    Don Cooper and Carl Willis, two former Twins pitches who have successful long-running careers as pitching coaches.
  13. Rosterman
    He aalso pitched in three games, situational lefty, back in 2004 for the Red Sox. Almost thought he was going to transition to a new career as a piotcher!

    We need to put the WIN back in tWINs!

    Shaun Anderson signs minor league deal with the Rangers. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/04/rangers-sign-shaun-anderson-collin-wiles.html
  16. Rosterman
    You get the chance and you run with it. Plus, Martin can also play second. And the Twins can figure out first base for the long-term then...will it be Julien or Miranda. Glad to see Kirilloff in the outfield, the one with the most service time and the priority of the Twins needing to make a longterm decision. The sad part of the season so far as that the Twins didn't add strengths to weakness (like experience in the rotation, for one). We can argue the veteran presence of Santana and Margot being equal to Taytlor in the outfield. But many of us are wishing we still had Polanco with an option year rather than, say, Kepler. But one does what one does within salary constraints, and Rocco has to put together a lineup. No easy task today.

    I was actually surprised he wasn't catching Simeon to start that second game of the double header. Someone who was familiar with the pitcher. If nothing else, switch him out to catch, say, Bowman, while both are still in the majors. And, if the game is a blowout....... The evils of having so many guys from the 40-man on the IL-list in BOTH the majors and minors. Of course, that could be changed really really fast if you cut bait with at least three guys on the major league roster once people get healthy...nevermind. But glad he got in a game. Unlike, say, Soto a couple of seasons back who collected major league pay for... what ....three days while sitting on the bench.
  18. Rosterman
    The Twins didn't bring back a guy who they originally drafted back in 2007 and signed for a couple of seasons to play in St. Paul. He is also one of the few to be on the Twins major league roster, for a day at least, without getting into a game. Elliot Soto signs minor league deal with the Angels. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/04/angels-sign-bryan-shaw-elliot-soto-to-minor-league-deals.html

    Topps fancy "t" in the logo just isn't a grabber. Gary Serum, traded to Yankees for Gagne, Paul Boris and some pitcher named Davis. I often wonder how much effort Topps put into choosing photographs taken during spring training to use on cards, when you look at some of the pictues that looks like they were taken from the stands. With no lens adjustments, filters, whatever.

    Hope he can get a taste of the show!

    I'm surprised they didn't start Thielbar in Florida camp in a few game environs before starting his rehab in St. paul. Not that he was absolutely horrible, but I elt he should've had another couple of rounds. Not at all sure the reasoning behind Bowman. Just add Thiebar. Save the roster spot and Bowman's options, unless he has a May walk date we don't know about. Duran, Topa and Staumont are all due back. Who stays and who goes in the end. Staumont and Fundeburk both have options, so that might be the reality there.
  22. Rosterman
    Pitchers can always have a bad game now ands then. But so many good pitches this Saturday. Was I surprised that Rocco didn't have Jair catch Simeon? Or totally unsure how the guy can handle any major league abserunners. But Simeon pitched like he wants Varland's job. Be interesting to see what Bowman can do, as the Twins have to make a decision on Thielbar and is sending Fundeburk down just because you can the true answer? Suddently the Twins are 6-7. Not even 15 games yet, so there is still a chance to shine and shine and shine...if the bats can just do their job.
  23. Rosterman
    Shoiws how you can never project the future. Having Polanco or Gordon still on the team looks pretty good right now.
  24. Rosterman
    One wonders about the future opf Dobnak. He pitched very well tonight until his final inning. Like Brent Headrick, will be be better suited for long relief, and is he capable of maybe getting into a second round of the batting order. And, in doing so, will there ever be a palce for him in Twinsland or is he constantly "just behind" someone else on the prospect list who will be on the 40-man roster. It will be interesting to see who the Twins bring up for Saturday's double-header.
  25. Rosterman
    Suddenly NOT a lot of replacement bodies on the 40-man in St. Paul.
