    I know Houston has missed a few games of late. Is he battling an injury? Or just worn down?

    Have you spoken with Falvey, Pohlad, Ryan or his agent? If not, you don't know why Ryan wasn't traded last year or over the winter. In addition, Tom Pohlad wasn't in charge of the Twins until around the same time as Falvey was leaving. (don't recall the exact dates) The biggest factor weighing on whether or not Ryan is traded this winter is likely how he performs when he returns from the IL. Another major factor will be how well Bradley, Prielipp and Rojas perform over the next 40+ games, along with the health of Abel. Should everything with even three of those four be positive, the Twins need to keep Ryan will be less important.

    Thank you. My exact thoughts and you said it so much better than I could have.

    Thanks for the report, Seth. Have a question. Assuming the Twins don't call up any of their top prospects prior to the end of the month, who do you think would be that extra position player they add on September 1? Expect the leading candidates to most of us would be one of Wallner, EmRod or Jenkins. Another player could be whomever is sent out when Buxton returns, assuming that is before September 1. If not, maybe Buxton is that added player. As much as many of us, including me, would love seeing a month of Jenkins, I don't see that as happening. Hopefully, I am wrong. Regarding EmRod. Any reason he is at DH in a lot of games rather than in the field? Also, he was replaced by a pinch runner last night. Seems they are being uber careful with his return, meaning it could be awhile. In a related question, I believe they can only add one pitcher, correct? But could they add two position players and no pitchers?

    Does Culpepper need to be added to the 40-man this November? Or does he need to be added next year? If this year, the playing next year if there is a lockout doesn't matter.

    I doubt they would try to get Jackson thru waivers as they are counting on him being their backup next year when Jeffers is gone.
  28. rdehring
    Fantastic news. Who is the other side of the move? Assume it is Gray going back to St. Paul. While watching last night's game, kept wondering when they would do this. What will be interesting is what they do when Buxton returns, hopefully, within a week.
  29. rdehring
    Was wondering, Sam, if it would make sense to replace the number of games with how many at bats each player had? Or maybe include both? Have the Twins ever had a top hitting prospect who also was All World with his glove? Maybe Torii back when? Or Joe? Or not?

    Last night's start by Gallagher got me wanting to know more about him. Thanks, Dman and jmlease for your comments. Would he be the next man up after Zebby and Rojas, should the Twins need more starters? Speaking of Zebby, will be interesting to see if he makes his start tonight. With Ryan flying back to the Twins Cities to meet with the doctors today, Zebby's next start might be with the Twins. Don't know if I have ever seen baserunning like Wichita last night. Houston stole two bags and Diaw three, including each stealing third. Love it! Agree with those above who would like to see Culpepper with the Twins, soon.
  31. rdehring
    Love this kid, especially his energy. Hopefully, we will see him at Target Field, playing for the Twins for many years.
  32. rdehring
    Is it possible no one wanted him, if he was offered? Thanks for the report, Steve. After making the playoffs seemingly every year, shocking seeing the Kernels in last place. Interesting item for me while looking at the box scores was that Diaw not only had a home run and is hitting .290 something, but he also was behind the plate again. A young man who can hit very well, has the athleticism to play the outfield and can catch seems like someone who belongs with the Twins a year or so from now. Great seeing Culpepper with a big night after shaking off some of the rust.

    In response to your headline, Cody, my answer is no he isn't underrated. That's because I have him #1 in the organization. Have Lackey and Jenkins next as 2A and 2B. Why? A shortstop who is a fantastic defender with speed and a good bat will be the most valuable player on the team, any team. At least in my opinion. I haven't seen him play, so my assumption that his defense is at another level is based on reading what others have said since the day he was drafted. The biggest surprise I have had over the year he has been in the organization is I didn't have a clue he had the speed/instincts to steal 40 bases in two-thirds of a season.
  34. rdehring
    Yes. And at my age if that means I never again see major league baseball, my answer is still yes.
  35. rdehring
    Yes, they could have gone after bigger names which I see would make many of you happy. But what would it have taken to do that? Did we want to see them trade Houston? EmRod? K. Culpepper? Mendez? Or even Jenkins? I don't see that as being a smart move and am happy they didn't trade any of those top prospects. Granted, they traded Hill who is an exciting young prospect. But they got back a very good reliever who will be here for another year. What may be most important is they replaced nearly a quarter of their pitching staff over the past few weeks. I don't know who is leaving when adding Hoffman to the roster, but there no longer are two or three arms in the bullpen who no one wants to see in a game.
