    If anything, I would tagg team him with SWR, either as an opener pitching up to three innings or coming on in relief. SWR will need to limit iunning output sooner rather than later. Question is, who goes. Topa coming back. Okert and Thielbar are the lefties. Is Dobnak, again, on the short leash?
  2. Rosterman
    C'mon. The Twins had names like Kepler, Julien available. Margot could be gone and easily replaced. Plus there are at least 140 prospects in the Twins system that could be involved in a trade, as well as maybe 1-2 of the top 25, if push really came to shove. The Twins NOT moving players who will basically walk come season's end (Kepler, Margot and prety much everyone on the St. paul roster) mixed with a shortstop, outfield and possible arm prospect.
  3. Rosterman
    Yeah, we should be able to pry a couple of arms from Oakland for a slew of guys we dont need (Kirilloff, Julien) or about to go but still value (WIlliams, Helman), or soon to be passed (Sabato, Lewis, Fedko, Winkel).
  4. Rosterman
    Kepler, Margfot, Farmer and Vasquez could all go. Julien, Kirilloff, WInder are expendable. The Twins have names leaving the organization like Helman, WIlliams, Keirsey, Isola, Fjardo, Shuffied, that could be major league ready. Names like Winkel, Schobel, McCusker, Sabato, Fedko, may get passed. The Twins do have to cut out some minor league roster space for the draftee signees. Better to do it in trade than just release guys, too.

    He was excellent, especially playing catcher and coming up and working a pitcher. If there is a stat for pitch counts, he has to rate high, getting that ball on a bat somehow (shades of Joe Mauer and Luis Arraez. He would put the ball into play, often on the ground, so you better be prepped for a hit-and-run. Why none of the other teams he played with gave him a chance is beyond me.
  6. Rosterman
    Yes, deserving another shot. Twins are, afterall, paying him god money. Looks like Kody will be out 6-8 weeks, so he could go on the 60-day.
  7. Rosterman
    Sands lucked onto the roster due to injuries fer sure. And Miranda could've been jettisoned after last summer. But he wasn't. Makes us hope that another opportunity will still exist for Julien or Kirilloff to shine again, but who knows. Woods Richardson is still a youngster and has been holding his own. That recent start agaisnt the Phillies was a gem. So he is showing that he wants to stay in he majors.

    I'm curious who the Twins have as upcoming minor league free agents, or who is eligible for the Rule 5 (most of the AAA organizational guys, and Sabato at AA fer sure) that could be dangled in trade. Saw Puk exchanged teams, for two mid-level prospects, one needing a 40-man add in the off season eprhaps.

    They can buy more television sets to show the games at their games.

    There is no reason they couldn't have hit $140+ this season. Really. Coming off a contention year. If truly go to the playoffs this year, us fans will raise "holy hell" if they don't bump upwards to $150+ come 2025. The team is pretty set for salary not only next season, but maybe even two more seasons out. Eliminate Correa and Buxton from the mix at some point and the Twins are flush with cash.
  11. Rosterman
    The Twins have Kepler because of free agency. Might get a decent prospect. Is any team looking for a player like Margot or Farmer? If so, move them out for minor league depth. I would trade Kirilloff, Julien and Winder to the A's for their lefty starter and a left bullpen arm. I doubt anyone would want Thielbar or Okert, sadly. I would listen if anyone comes calling or Santana. Yes, Severino could be part of package, including another prospect or two, for a decent pitcher, like someone the Blue Jays are dangling. (Include someone like Raya, who dosn't seem to be pitching any more than 3-4 innings still). Also, anyone else on the potential 40-man protection list or futrue minor league free agent come fall.
  12. Rosterman
    All the great fielding moments but the Twins still made two errors. Duran, forget the breaking ball sometimes and just throw heat!
  13. Rosterman
    I'm not seeing a good future on the Twins roster for Kirilloff, unless the Twins want to hope he does a bounce (along with Julien) similar to Miranda. But if you could trade him for a parallel project experiencing trouble, could be worth it. I would also consider packaging him and go after a lefty (or two) that the A's are rostering. A's always looking for players low-cost with potential that can develop into further trade chips, too.
  14. Rosterman
    He needs to just play and showcase, not only for the Twins but for himself. The Twins might be able to flip him for a couple of low level prospects if another team has an oufielder fall-out right before the trade ddeadline. Otehrwise, he will jsut become a free agent. And, unless he has a second half like last season, he will be fighting for any kind of decent contract. It's too bad the Twins weren't able to trade him during the past off-season, rid themselves of his current contract. But then they would've had to play more of - ? - who in the outfield the first half of the season.
  15. Rosterman
    Balazovic is Korea bound!
  16. Rosterman
    There's 11 guys NO from the Twins system in St. Paul. Make some hard decisions if there is more than 1-2 keepers, and jettison the rest and advance guys from Wichita. Make some ahrd decisions on the major league roster. Names like Margot, Farmer, Sands, Thielbar come to mind. See what you have in Severino. Dangle names like WInder and Kirilloff in trade add-ons (even Julien, if you will). Oakland has a couple of lefties.......
  17. Rosterman
    is a pure no-brainer. They have so many options. No way I see them extending him or giving him a qualifying offer. Now Max just needs to make it worthwhile for someone to pick him up for the $4mill that remains. And that may be the tough call.
  18. Rosterman
    Drew Maggi, one of the few added to the Twins active roster but never getting in a game, has signed a minor league deal with the Tigers after indy ball play. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/06/tigers-drew-maggi-agree-to-minor-league-deal.html
  19. Rosterman
    If going to mention Canterino, might as well throw Headrick into the mix. Watch, thje Twins will run out Dobnak for a couple of starts!
  20. Rosterman
    Royce Lewis will be anmed if no Twins wins by ballot. Lopez will have a much better second half. Buxton will play a tad better in the second half. Just a tad. WIllie Castro will be the most-valuable-Twin! No rooms anywhere near Cooperstown. You forget how big the Mauer Family really is. And I doubt most of us like camping. Ryan Jeffers will take back the role of catching and demand DH at bats.
  21. Rosterman
    I sooooooo love Griffin Jax this season. BUT...like last season, don't bring himn out with a runner on base. He had so many tough 10th innings last season. Despite his often brilliance, he is still liable to give up at least one hit an inning. If he starts an inning, he can give up two and still escape issues with his current abilities. But NEVER bring him out with a runner on second or beyond.
  22. Rosterman
    I couldn't argue his. Except Lee needs to play more second base, if that will be his position. But, yes, you have no "second baseman for the future" right now, just placesetters in Martin and Castro, better used as reserves and bench guys for now. Give Lee a shot. When a position is open even shortterm, you play the prospect, not the backup, if the prospect is ready. Regarding Kepler, just what we need. Him to go down before another trade deadline. Such heights and such a fall (between him and Jeffers) in a short period of time. Even if Kepler was the Kepler of a month ago, I wouldn't be longterming him at all for the Twins. I would be salviatin that he was valuable tradebait. But not sure what he is worth...now. I don't see him as a corner in 2025, so might as well get a looksee at Wallner. And hope that Rodriguez and Gonzalez get back into play and move up the lader sooner rather than later. Also, Kiersey is missing out on an opportunity. The Twins do have an open roster spot. Can easily make two more (Thielbar and Boushley). Are Henriquez and Winders better than...Sands?
  23. Rosterman
    If Kepler goes down - The Return Of Wallner! Man, I would've started the inning with Thielbar. But it did make it easy to jettison Jackson. Waiting for The Return of Dobnak - long relief! Got the open roster spot. How short is the leash on Sands at the moment?
  24. Rosterman
    Steve Pearce did sign with the Twins in the 2011 off-season, but released in spring training.
  25. Rosterman
    No need to push Varland. Be happy with getting to the 6th. You have a full bullpen with Monday's off day in the wings. Or, only needed to pitch twice thru the order. That third turnover wasn't the charm. Especially in a still close game.
