    Headrick down. Was hoping he come up and pitch some long relief.
  2. Rosterman
    I'm Sorry To See "Cash Considerations" Traded. But we still have his twin broither somewhere in the system, I believe.

    Severino 0-17 now with 9ks. Yikes!
  4. Rosterman
    Well, at least bthe Twins didn't advance 0-17 with 9K's Severino to be the temporary third baseman....yet.

    It's only a week. But, yes, I wish they would play the proposed lineup fulltime during the last week of spring training games to get ready for the season. I sometimes feel Rocco over-manages. I feel I'm seeing a bit of it now. Nice to have a gameplan, but you also have to adjust if that plan isn't working.

    I'm wondering: What is your thought of the PERFECT lineup that the Twins should put on the field every game. Forget trying to be clever. Let's figure out who works off each other, can make a pitcher throw some pitches, can advance runners when necessary.

    J.T. Chargois is on the Marlins short-term IL-list
  8. Rosterman
    Not the Twins Danny Santana! This one is a pitcher.

    That was really a dismal team. Sometimes we have to remember the quality of the photographers Topps used some seasons and how it was just a "Photo Day" snap, compared to nowadays where the teams have their own photographers who can some some fun things. I cringe when I look at some of the Yearbook photos from that era.

    I can't wait to experience any of the prices. The right field box sounds like a joke. Could make it a seasonal space. Igloo the first couple of weeks. Ice Fishing House. Swimming Pool. Bouncey Castle. Sun-bathing Chairs. Kite Flying Square. Pile of Leaves. I miss the Fried Walleye guys that set up outside the Metrodome for many a year.
  12. Rosterman
    If Kepler is injured, could the Twins bring up another pitcher?
  13. Rosterman
    I think the Twins may be giving Duarte a chance to be a starter if an opening happens. Look for him to be pushed to three innings next time someone goes short.
  14. Rosterman
    Not recognizing that Ober just didn't have it and leaving him out there beyond the five runs, especially coming off of solo home runs, is on the manager and coaching staff. You ahd the pitchers to use with an off day. Also, clearly seeing that attacking the Royals pitcher wasn't working and NOT readjusting your batters is also on the staff watching the game. You have to adjust when playing the game, often sooenr rather than later. Not just ... let's keep with the plan.

    One had hopes for Gil but not sure if he would've mae the Twins 40-man after COVID. Burdi falls into that "what if" category. He got away because he was injured. Same could said for Enlow, deciding to go elsewhere rather than settle in for anotehr year as a non-roster prospect for the Twins. Canterino might fall into the same boat. Sometimes you move on and let anotehr team worry about rostering the guy at some point, knowing that you can always resign them (maybe) if they don't come back from injury right away. The careful monitoring, or knowing when to trade or pull the plug. Balazovic is another example. Could've been a major trade piece at one point, now everyone passed on the opportunity. SOmetimes pitchers have opportunities thrust at them, sometimes, they miss the boat. Remember that Glen Perkins was a failed starter who was dropped from the 40-man and every team passed, yet he stayed with the Twins and found a new life. And yet arms like Hendricks do walk away, have a little up, and little down, and you wonder why the Twins just didn't stash him at the back of the pen. Wait, arbitration clock and dollars start and that also causes a parting of ways before they actually become excellent.

    Instead of money coming back, the Twins basically paid $4m for the Mariners to take Polanco, but got a possible TOP prospect in return. The trade will pay off if Topa ends up pitching well. But also goes to show that you can't have too many players, sometimes. Polanco playing third now for the Twins, although the question remains who wouldn't have made the 40-man out of spring training if Polanco was still around, so that alone was a reason to trade Jorge. But the Twins better start looking long and hard at pitchers they get in trade, or jsut stick to small deals with minor league free agents with potential. Happily this guy isn't eating up a 40-man roster spot in-the-end. But, still.....
  17. Rosterman
    9 minor free agent pitchers. Happily rotation arms are fairly home grown (not counting guys the Twins got in trades and have developed beyond a season). Everyone on the field side looks to get play everyday.
  18. Rosterman
    It's not so much the organization respects what he has done, as much as they are paying him no matter what he does do. Thankfully he is working hard to come back and maybe, just maybe, throw from the major league mound again. Of course, that would mean finding a spot on the 4o-man, or tantalizing another team to take on his salary. I do hope he does return. He's a good guy and all.
  19. Rosterman
    Helman and Martin can play in the outfield, too.

    Kai-Wei Teng, who the Twins traded to the Giants in 2019 for Sam Dyson, gets the major league call. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/03/giants-recall-kai-wei-teng-for-major-league-debut.html

    I liked the overall design. And most of the cards had the players in a positional pose, so-to-speak. Always man argument. Do we want player headshots, posed shots (as many of these were), or action shots (often obscuring faces), or shots of playings, like the Carew one, doing...nothing/something. Plus, team cards. Always loved these, and yet hated these. Depended on the info on the back. Faces so small. But often the only way a manager got recognition. And yes, at the end of the year got double-cards of some players with the Topps Traded Series with the headline box. Oh, that famous Oscar Gamble card.
  22. Rosterman
    The scary part will be freeing up 40-man spots. The Twins are pretty good for backups right now at all the position spots. But, by chance, they lose Camargo at St. paul, and have to add a catcher to replace the major league guys...roster spot. Right now, they might have one rotating roster spot for up-and-down minor league guys NOT on the 40-man. But then you have to judge the ability to send them abck thru waivers, if necessary.
  23. Rosterman
    That the Twins do have an abundance of veteran and prospect arms to choose from is really a plus. The pain is the lack of space on the 40-man at the moment. Every spot is valuable. I want to see Scott Blewett in the pen at some point!
  24. Rosterman
    Weiss will go on the 60-day if they wish to pay him. Not sure if they can release him. Also, Duran could easily be out for two months just to be safe. He can start rehabbing whenever in Florida and would serve a couple of weeks on a minor league stint before needing activation. But, no, I don't see him being back before June 1.
  25. Rosterman
    I'd take 51-35 with an ERA under four for all five starters anyday. Lotsa homers here. 215 for sure, according to ESPN. Looks like the Twins won't be setting a new record for strikeouts.
