    Glad to see the Twins got "Cash" in the deal. Man, hate to see something like that be a deal breaker. Thankfully that means Lopez can fly to the Twins Cities.
  2. Rosterman
    Where does Denny Hocking bat again?
  3. Rosterman
    Plus two more seasons of control. We swapped a 40-man guy who has been questionable in his debuts this season with the Twins. The Twins will have to make a roster move. Happily St. Paul has an opening now, too. (Will also have to make a pitching roster move when Thielbar comes back). So who are the two pitchers currently on staff that the Twins will designate for asignment?

    Can we trade Pagan to the Brewers and get back Rogers? Good move. Lopez still has two more arbitration seasons. We were running the risk that Duran could be over used this season. Be interesting to see if Cano comes up and gets more of an opportunity with the Orioles. Amazed with Cano's numbers in the minors, but he sure got slugged around in the majors.

    Sanchez did what was asked. The Twins need a fifth starter one more time before going back to four for a couple of series. Miranda is HOT HOT HOT! With the third abseman running in for a possible bunt in the 9th, why didn't Gordon try and steal third at least. Contreras was pretty pitiful trying to bunt. Yes, Buxton could've pinch-hit...or Caleb Hamilton (wait). You can't play with a short bench. Especially now.

    And the Braves add their third Ex-Twin in the last 24-hours, trading for ROBBIE GROSSMAN for outfield depth. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/braves-to-acquire-robbie-grossman-from-tigers.html

    Astros trade JAKE ODORIZZI to the Atlanta Braves. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/braves-astros-to-swap-will-smith-for-jake-odorizzi.html

    With Adrianza leaving the Nationals, the Washington team calls up another former Twin ILDEMARO VARGAS returns tot he majors after a short stint earlier this season with the Cubs. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/nationals-select-ildemaro-vargas.html

    Jose Godoy designated off the 40-man. Twins sent Cano back to St. Paul. Aaron Sanchez, who pitched earlier this season for the Nationals, activated to start tonight's game. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/twins-select-aaron-sanchez-designate-jose-godoy.html Celestino goes on paternity leave, so Contreras stays as Urshela is back. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sanchaa01.shtml

    Too bad. The Twins could've traded Pagan, maybe thrown in Balazovic and someone like Enlow or Sands, plus add Strotman. And an outfield prospect like.......
  11. Rosterman
    Yeah, I thought that, too. What we want JOE SMITH to continue to be.

    Wondering why Taylor Rogers didn't close out the game last nite in San Diego? Answer: Today! In a surprise move the Milwaukee Brewers traded their All-Star closer to the Padres. They got Taylor Rogers back in return, as well as two decent prospects, and someone that MIGHT contribute short-term. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/brewers-trade-josh-hader-padres.html P.S. Oh, and remember the Twins have basically paid Rogers salary for this season.
  13. Rosterman
    TAYLOR ROGERS is now a Milwaukee Brewer! https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/brewers-trade-josh-hader-padres.html

    EHIRE ADRIANZA returns to the Braves. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/braves-acquire-ehire-adrianza-dfa-robinson-cano.html

    It will be a tough August. If other teams improve and the Twins don't, watch out!
  16. Rosterman
    Rocco is constantly all over the palce with his line-up. Sometimes, a set line-up can work. Players comfortable about who is batting ahead of them. Bad enough the days when you would bat right, left, right, left, right, left....or field a line-up totally of players swinging one way. Arraez should always bat lead-off. Correa second. Buxton in the number three hole. Hit the home runs when men are on base. Miranda right now deserves to be the #4. Polanco shifts down to the fifth spot. Urshela sixth (or Kirilloff). 7-9 Garlick or Gordon or Kepler or whomever. 9th is the catcher, but never bat Sano before Sanchez. You ALWAYS have the top four spots with fellows who you hope will get five at bats. What do you feel is the perfect Twins line-up. Would you constantly shift guys around like Rocco, and why? Is there any advantage for some Twins batting before or after a particular player on the roster?
  17. Rosterman
    I wish players were more open about aches and pains sometimes. Kirilloff was definitely hurting. Did they not ask him?
  18. Rosterman
    Return, finally, of Jake Cave!
  19. Rosterman
    Just when you are happy a starter starts the sixth inning, it blows back. Ugh!
  20. Rosterman
    Twins outfielders are trying soooooo hard to get Jake Cave back to the major leagues!
  21. Rosterman
    Yes, but not worth the price they might have to pay.
  22. Rosterman
    Travis Adams listed as Ft. Myers starter? Thought he advanced to Cedar Rapids yesterday!
  23. Rosterman
    Would it pay to drop Balazovic back to AA ball? That is going to be a tough off-season decision. He can become a minor league free agent if removed from the 40-man. I see the Twins have started to cull the minor league free agent roster at AAA St. Paul, but are bringing in replacements. Pinto was one pitcher that when you looked at hius ERA you were going...wow. But then half of the runs he gave up a unearned. A 1.52 WHIP. Palacios is mamking a case to be added to the 40-man during the off-season. Beckham, too. But can Beckham still play short?
  24. Rosterman
    And then they eat up non-productiuve service time in the scheme of things (although Dobnak is on a contract). So when they return at full strength, they could be in a soon-to-depart elsewhere stage. Training throughout the year, great nutrition. You'd think everyone would be in tip-top shape. But when you make perfect "bodies" they have to be maintained with precision. Suddenly, after starting the season with pitching depth into 9-11 range, the Twins are now left with five (if Smeltzer is coming back). No Balazovic, or Sands, or Henriquez of note. Rodriguez and one of the Sanchez are about it from AAA. And the bullpen is pretty...weak...might be the best word. But, the Twins are still in first place!
  25. Rosterman
    DEREK LAW called up by Tigers. Old Minnesota Twins bullpen arms continue to find work! https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/tigers-select-derek-law.html
