    Pagan will hang around a bit longer as they can still have an option on him for next season. Plus you can afford one mop-up guy in the pen. Duffey is to be a free agent. Moran has to stay in the minors for 15 days unless he is an injury replacement. The Twins could bring back Cotton once again. But he is currently on waivers. Dufey being gone opens up a 40-man spot. The Twins might also be able to claim someone else that is being jettisoned by another team. Yes, Sands is up to be long relief.

    Kepler is a must return. I would not be adverse to Sanchez being more of a DH except the Twins still need to play a Miranda Arraez and Urshela every game possible, Maeda will be back.

    Let's get another inning out of Megill. Okay, I guess we shouldn't have sent him out. But then Duffey does nothing but allow Megill to look bad in the end, while he looks worse. Cotton and Moran. Two guys sent out who are better than the ones we sent to the mound yesterday. You can afford to keep one of Pagan or Duffey, if you wish, for those out-of-hand mopup games, or if you have the 9-3 lead. But right now, NOT both. Create an injury time if you really want to keep them on the team.
  4. Rosterman
    The Twins cut the wrong relief pitchers. Bring back Moran and Cotton now!
  5. Rosterman
    I don't expect Mickey to stay, but what an at bat! Lots of minor league shuffling to happen in the next 10 days as draftees find places and people move about for the rest of the season.
  6. Rosterman
    Pagan and Duffey…you better pitch like you want to stay my. I would’ve kept Cotton and Moran over either of you right now!

    Current top prospects? Well, some have made it. Others are on life-support, which is sad (Balazovic, Enlow, Sands). But go back and look at Top Prospects and you always ask, well, where did they go. CES was having a tremendous season. His second in pro-ball, remember. I was wondering how the Twins were going to fit him into their team in the future. But, now, we get to watch the Reds field a team of many former Twins someday.

    I was thinking Kubel, too. You can have surgery. And he has. You can take drugs, which do marvelous things, but also does things to you longer term. I start thinking Jim Eisenreich. At what point does he move past the issues and just play ball, masking his hurts and pains. Yet I also think of Chuck Knoblauch. Things just happen. I want the Twins to stay with him, work with him, and do what is best to keep him playing baseball in some capacity for the Twins as long as he can.

    Gipson-Long eligible for Rule 5 draft. I'm sure he'll get another season in the minors. I don't see a team adding them to their 26-man roster. But he would've faced a potential logjam in Twins-land come the fall of 2024. Fulmer will get a chance to shine. Pain with the signings of Lopez and Fulmer is that the Twins need to egt rid of a couple of bullpen arms. Add in the fact that Thielbar is coming back. You could say Pagan, Smith and Duffey are on the bubble, but the Twins could just as easily send Moran abck to the minors or part with Megill. Be interesting to see if Cotton stays with the Twins (he was signed to a major league contract, so he does cost a bit more if a team wants him). We also forget that the Twins recently added a slew of arms from other organizations: Ben Heller, Brock Stewart, Hunter Wood, Brad Peacock, Michael Felix as well as the dwindling list of guys signed earlier for St. Paul (down to Gossett, Jurado, M. Sanchez) as well as former Twins Minaya, Thornburg amd D. Rodriguez.

    You always give up talent, but there are now 17 new players drafted that will float into the Twins system. So only time will tell. CES will be an inetresting guy to watch. The Reds could be "Twins could've" the next few seasons if Petty also advances fast!
  11. Rosterman
    Looks like the Twins signed 17 of their 20 draft picks. So be interesting to see where a buynch of them land. And, yes, time to move "prospects" up rather than filling in the rosters (most notably AAA) with minor league rejects from mother teams.

    Soto trade fallout

    Rosterman commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    I had wished that the Twins had included Sano in their earlier trade and taken on Hosmer and also got Campusano. I also wish they had dangled, at that time, Strotman, and taken on the Snell salary. The Twins could've afforded both and made San Diego very happy. Hosmer as a 1B/DH. We got a future catcher. A lefty starter. Lots of dollars spent. Strotman might've been tantalizing back then. Probably could've thrown in a Gipson-Long at that time, too. And San Diego might've sent some $$$ along in the deal, too.
  13. Rosterman
    San Diego traded Brent Rooker. Last great player obtained in that Twins trade.
  14. Rosterman
    Why was Jax pitching? Why? Why?
  15. Rosterman
    TOMMY MILONE was cut by the Mariners. The Philadelphia Phillies claimed ANDREW VASQUEZ off waivers from the Toronto Blie Jays and assigned him to AAA-ball.

    What makes it a plus is that the Guardians and White Sox were basically inactive. Yes, I shudder when the Twins starting outfield tonight is Cave, Gordon and Contreras with a bench of Beckham and Hamilton, and Archer and his four innings is on the mound. Two unknown pitchers from the DSL/FCL. One with exceptional promise, but aren't they all at that age. Povich and Hajjar will be quickly replaced by current draft class members. Gipson-Long is behind Balazovic, Henriquez, Sands, Enlow, Varland, Canterino at best. Steer would be a wonderful reserve infielder, perhaps moreso than Gordon. But the Twins also have to think about Helman in an already crowded potential 40-man roster field. The Twins got rid of two "hypens" and CES was one showing great punch. He will be one to watch. With all the action also comes other casualities. Sanchez, Cotton and one other member of the 26 will be gone in a day. Godoy was designated. All the players back in trade are better than others currently on the roster. That is what counts. Even L:eon would be a great defensive catcher behind-the-plate (someone has to contribute to the 27 outs each game), so Sanchez can DH more now that the Sano issue has been...solved. The weakest division saw just one team attempt to make improvements. And that was The Minnesota Twins! P.S. The Twins now have 10 players on the 60-day, at least half will be retained on the 2023 spring roster. Can they get healthy, stay healthy, and play healthy?
  17. Rosterman
    Only thing missing is Sano! What a starting outfield for the Twins! Cave, Contreras (don't ask me to bunt), and Gordon. Hurry back, Celestino. And hope Garlick and Buxton aren't put on the IL. Who else do we have? And, if Garlick and Buxton are nursing injuries...what a bench! Beckham and Hamilton! Sunny nite. No rain!
  18. Rosterman
    The Twins will still have to make one more pitching move. So, probably Smith, as they need the 40-man spot. Not as many minor league transactions as one may think. Maybe Martin advanced to St. Paul and an outfielder. Some minor pitcher movement. Hey, the Twins traded away four of their top five 2021 draft pics. Let's see how fast some of the Class of 2022 are advanced! Gonna be fun seeing what other players across the board are designated for assignment. Hey, Brent Rooker is now a Royal!
  19. Rosterman
    BRENT ROOKER swapped by Padres to the Royals for a catcher. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/padres-royals-swap-brent-rooker-cam-gallagher.html Padres got out of that trade fast. We still have Pagan and a broken starter!
  20. Rosterman
    I have been waiting for this move all day! Since I heard the initial rumor that the Twins were going to do something BIG!
  21. Rosterman
    Great! Ian Hamilton to Cleveland for Sandy Leon! We can quit for the day!
  22. Rosterman
    I always felt the Twins should've included Sano in the Rogers/Rooker trade, and taken Hosmer and catcher Luis Campusano with the Twins eating a bit of the Hosmer salary, but still San Diego paying the bulk of it. Sano might've been healthy and found a home and got that extra year. But all moot now.
  23. Rosterman
    And, like you had Balazovic/Sands/Henriquez/Strotman in the wings this year (ugh!), you'll have Canterino/Enlow/Varland in the wings next year. Plus Dobnak and Smeltzer!
  24. Rosterman
    The Twins will have to remove anoeehr body from the 40-man (Sanchez right away - nice knowing you?). Christian Encarnacian-Strand was a stud and be interesting to see how he pans out. Steer would've needed to be added to the 40-man in the off-season. But you gotta do what you gotta do to WIN!
  25. Rosterman
    His era is deceiving. Plus a high WHIP.
