    Quite honestly, outside of trading players that will be lost anyway in the 40 man crunch, stand pat and continue to assess our internal assets the rest of the year (time to start seeing who can help in the bullpen... especially Sands) This team has too many holes to fill at one deadline to be relevant this post season even if they do make it (which is still very much debatable) And it is going to be a seller's market with the additional playoff spots keeping more teams with the mirage of contention Progress is being made this year. If it continues, there will be a more reasonable number of holes to fill at the 2023 deadline. If not... we were headed toward a complete rebuild anyway. I know this is not what any of us want to hear (me included) and there is no guarantee of progress next year, but it IS the most rational decision.

    I just saw a few hubcaps roll past.... that didn't come from our car did it?!

    Shoulder problems have tipped the scale for me... risk is too high now for Montas given the high price that will be required. Even one or two great starts will not be enough to reassure in my book (could have had a corticosteroid injection that will wear off in a month)

    Yaaaaawn..... not going to move the needle
  5. D.C Twins
    Using our heads, we should trade him (there is O.O% chance of extension for you Animal House fans out there and a <5% chance of WS). Using our hearts (and our inner 5-year-old need for short term results), we should keep him. Ultimately though, he will be kept because there simply won't be a huge market for him which drives a reasonable return (for the same reason he fell in our laps in the first place!).... which is totally OK!
  6. D.C Twins
    Especially with our lack of catching depth. Nick is correct. This IS a complex issue. I believe that step 1 is to assess the extent of the 40 man crunch next year. I'm not an expert, but the FO actually NEEDS to make trades that include multiple prospects to avoid losing some to Rule V. This step alone should be enough to shore up the bullpen. Starting pitching and catcher improvements.... THAT will require sacrifice which may not be in the best interest of our success in 2023 and beyond.
  7. D.C Twins
    Could not agree with this more! I think the FO is developing a strong team, but I also think there is very little chance of success in the playoffs this year even if we make it. We do have a 40 man crunch coming though. I would advocate only for deals that clear 40 man space and acquire MLB pitching with at least 1.5 years control because next year would be the earliest that 'the window' could reopen.

    Buck's knee has been a problem for months. It is negatively impacting his play.... likely more than we even appreciate. He and the Twins have decided that it was better for him to literally and figuratively limp his way through the season. I suspect that some of his good weeks are coming after getting an injection (which you can only get so often). I suspect that they would have been better served to rest him on the IL for 2-4 weeks after the initial injury and had a better version of him the rest of the year.... but who knows?! Bottom line is that I think nothing has changed.... He is dominant when fully healthy and him being fully healthy will likely continue to be sporadic throughout his career. He is NOT fully healthy

    Let's rename this "The Pagan Replacement Watch" ....what?!.... too soon?
  10. D.C Twins
    Or.... (insert nuanced analysis here).... he'll continue to get lit up like a Christmas Tree. Overall, I personally categorize this post in the 'wishful thinking' category. The Rogers trade is on it's way to the Ramos for Capps category of Twins history Nick, I will say that your tweet on how badly his cutter has been hit was the most insightful fact that I've read on the Twins this season.!
  11. D.C Twins
    This, This, aaaaaand... what was I forgetting.... oh yeah..... This!
  12. D.C Twins
    Very telling that I completely forget about him until the biweekly TD article. I look forward to the day when we don' have to discuss him anymore.
  13. D.C Twins
    I did NOT see this com..... oh wait a minute... I TOTALLY saw this coming!

    Rocco: "There have been times where Emilio Pagán is one of the best relievers in baseball, he knows what that feels like. Right now his stuff is actually good, the execution is not good." Translation: "Pagan is pitching terribly... but my excel spreadsheet says that he should be pitching good, so I need to keep sending him out there in high leverage situations... (oh my excel spreadsheet... my precious...)"
  15. D.C Twins
    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.... or more simply.... Pitching Pagan in relief Trading Rogers at the outset of the season has turned out to be every bit as devastating as some on this site predicted at the time. Taylor Roger's WARP (Wins Above Replacement of Pagan) would be about 8 already!
  16. D.C Twins
    My goodness... still wondering when Buxton will finally take the IL trip he has needed for over a month. Complete waste for him to figuratively and literally limp along at 50%
  17. D.C Twins
    UFF DA!
  18. D.C Twins
    I think it is pipe dream that he signs a long-term deal with the Twins... BUT, I think we can all agree that it was also a pipe dream that he would sign with us in the first place too... so there's that
  19. D.C Twins
    As much as I like Miranda's future, he is the one that Krill should replace. He has options and is not tearing up the MLB at this point. It would not be good to lose Gordon for nothing especially this early in the season. He is and will continue to be needed.
  20. D.C Twins
    Arraez also makes his teammates better. Driving up pitch counts both physically and mentally exhausts pitchers which causes physical and mental mistakes further down the line up. Huge win for the Twins
  21. D.C Twins
    Consistent and flexible average to above average play (at low cost) will always be welcome on a MLB team! He's not going anywhere.
  22. D.C Twins
    Celestino's development is HUGE for the Twins. We look to have a legit MLB OF (CF capability) at 23 years old! His ceiling is obviously much higher than a 4th outfielder. Super important and exciting for the Twins' future
  23. D.C Twins
    A team should not by high and sell low... so no... would not trade him right now.
  24. D.C Twins
    The Twins are basically smoke and mirrors at this point. It's not the FO fault. There has been absolute roster carnage this year so far. No team could survive this volume of injury. It could get ugly, but I'm holding out hope that they can limp for a month or so until people get healthy and the trade deadline happens. But, alas.... Hope is indeed not a plan
  25. D.C Twins
    Past time... like 3 weeks past time.... he should be getting ready to come OFF the IL ready to tear @#$! up Instead he has literally limped along only to delay the inevitable. Essentially we traded 3 weeks of hobbled Buxton for 3 weeks of post IL elite Buxton due to stubborness
