If they add Park and put him on the 60-day, they get a 40-man roster spot. Assuming they might also get one with a trade of Suzuki, and possibly releasing someone, I would like to see Beresford get a shot. He won't get many at bats, unless you use him to spell someone in the later innings of a losing effort. Why Jamie? He has put up decent numbers this year and last. He's a longterm prospect. He has been a solid part of the organization. Maybe you want to keep him involved in the organization if he doesn't return to Australia. Besides, what can it hurt. He's a free agent anyways. Give him some major league money, a few at bats. If you don't keep him, someone will then be able to grab him.

Yes, we should be bringing up as many prospects or future 40-man adds as possible. Some guys will be going to the Arizona League after the Lookouts pennant play. Some don't need to added to the 40-man (which would've still been the case of Berrios) until November fer sure.

In the real world, I wish we were in a situation where we would want to see Burdi, reed, Jones, Hildenburger and Bard all come up in September to push aside everyone else and give us an advance look at the future and the past a rest. But there aren't enough roster spots, too many injuries to those youngsters, and not the way the soon-to-be-old-school Twins operate (or so we hope).

Generally, I agree with your entire list. I'm a little unsure about Walker and Palka. Now, I like Palka quite a bit, but he's not on the 40 man yet, and has a little under half a season at AAA. Plus, if Buxton, Kepler and Rosario play almost every day, is there room for him to actually get playing time? Ditto for Walker, who has shown improvement in the second half, but might be better off ending the season on a positive note and not coming up to sit or SO in the few AB he gets.

Vargas should also be up, and play every day. He never should have been sent down in the first place.

I like the Beresford promotion idea. It might even keep him around another season in the organization.

My feelings on Garver have changed as of late. Originally, I felt the Twins should sign a veteran catcher for a year, and/or the best "John Hicks-type" milb FA/waiver wire option to compete next season. And maybe they still should. But instead of bringing up Garver to better prepare him for Rochester to begin 2017, I'm now thinking he should be more heavily considered as a legitimate candidate for the main job in '17. His defense may still have rough edges, and I wish he caught a few more games this year, but his bat has real potential and he can throw. For a rebuilding team getting younger all the time, I'm thinking more and more of going with him and letting him polish himself on the job.

Why Wheeler hasn't already been up over Albers and others is beyond me.

I think we need to bring up Wheeler, Baxendale, and Reed.  We've seen plenty of what we have in the bullpen now, and need to get a look at these guys.

For sentiments sake, I'd love to see Beresford get a shot, even if only for a month.  I think Suzuki and Kintzler may be moved by tomorrow, so that will open up a couple of spots and I would definitely like to see Garver be the everyday catcher for the last month.

You could put ANY name you want as the second word of that last sentence and I would be in total agreement.  That being said, I'd fully expect Albers to try to shut me up by tossing a gem tonight but I'm not holding my breath.

Albers and Dean each should get a second start to prove themselves.

The Twins don't seem to have a history of overdoing September call-ups. While I'd like to see a number of players get a chance, I'm not expecting more than:

Position players: Vargas, Buxton, one of Murphy or Garver

Pitchers: Berrios, Duffey, maybe Baxendale

I doubt they will add both catchers. I doubt there will be a "reward" call up for the likes of Beresford.  I can't see them finding ABs for Palka or Walker although for entertainment's sake I wish it were otherwise.

Twins do not seem to feel that Wheeler is better than other options, do not know what that says for his future in the orgainization, but it cannot be good.  However he is another soft tossing lefty(maybe a little harder than some of the other options).   Twins will have many decisions on who to protect and extra choices just mean more players will be DFA'ed at the end of the season.  

Only players that should be added to the 40 man are ones the Twins have already decided to protect and have the possibility of being here next year.  I expect Berrios and Duffey will be called up at some time, also Vargas and Murphy possibly Walker.  Outside of that let the kids play and do not clutter players on the bench, so the players up can get some meaningful September AB's. 

With Walker earning the Rochester team MVP and the TD Hitter of the Month award - You would think the Twins would call him up after today's game.  I think he's earned it.  It would be the kids first in season promotion in 5 seasons, while others have gone up and down like a yo yo.  My prayers are with him.

My guess:

Duffey

Vargas

Walker

Garver
