June 10, 201610 yr Presumably, Phil Hughes would need to go on the Disabled List, but a source tells Mike that Chargois will get that promotion. Very exciting after all he went through the last 3 years. Updated with Tweet from Rhett Bollinger:
June 10, 201610 yr makes sense. He's on the 40 man. He gets a 15 day cup of coffee, and if he pitches half as well as he did in AAA, he'll stay.
June 10, 201610 yr Well, he certainly earned/deserved it. I hope he continues this years success with the big club.
June 10, 201610 yr Good. Now I hope Molitor uses him. I wouldn't be shocked if it was May going to the DL, btw Edited June 10, 201610 yr by alarp33
June 10, 201610 yr Yeah I'm thinking May to the DL. Not pitching for a week + Cortisone Shot + Ineffectiveness = DL. Rehab May as a starter please!
June 10, 201610 yr So if he's only up for 15 days, would you take the over or under on 9.5 saves? I'd take the under on 9.5 save opportunities Though given the state of the pen, if he pitches well, Molitor might pitch his arm off and given him 3 innings a night.
June 10, 201610 yr It makes me sad that my first thought with this wasn't "Yes! Can't wait to see him!", but instead "I wonder if we'll even see him". Ugh.
June 10, 201610 yr Yeah I'm thinking May to the DL. Not pitching for a week + Cortisone Shot + Ineffectiveness = DL. Rehab May as a starter please! Even if it wasn't injury related, I'd still send May down to be stretched out as a starter....
June 10, 201610 yr Great news. I hope he takes the opportunity and runs with it, never pitching in the minor leagues again.
June 10, 201610 yr So if he's only up for 15 days, would you take the over or under on 9.5 saves? i'll take the under only because I don't think this team can manage that many opportunities in such a short span.
June 10, 201610 yr Awesome. Let's hope the manager uses him, and he isn't Polancoed.Considering how our starters are performing, there will be plenty of innings for everyone.
June 10, 201610 yr I suspect Chargois will get some low leverage opportunities to start... but if Molly doesn't use him, well let's just say I have no words. Other than Abad, is there anyone in the pen that is trustworthy right now?

June 10, 201610 yr It makes me sad that my first thought with this wasn't "Yes! Can't wait to see him!", but instead "I wonder if we'll even see him". Ugh.Fourth inning of a game trailing by six runs--- no thank you. We already have several guys tailor made for that role.
June 10, 201610 yr I'm pumped to see this kid live. I am also excited to get off of the last team in MLB to have a pitcher throw one 98mph pitch in the last 6 years...not sure if that is accurate but you know what I mean

I am also excited to get off of the last team in MLB to have a pitcher throw one 98mph pitch in the last 6 years...not sure if that is accurate but you know what I meanHave the Twins heated up the Target Field gun in the last few weeks? Ryan Pressly has hit 98 several times and Ervin Santana hit 96 a few times last night.
June 10, 201610 yr So if he's only up for 15 days, would you take the over or under on 9.5 saves? Under. Based on the way Molitor used others in his situation (eg. Jorge Polanco), he'd be happy to face 9.5 batters
June 10, 201610 yr Chargois. Can't wait to say Chargois a bunch. Chargois. Can't wait for Bert to (try to) say Chargois a bunch...
June 10, 201610 yr It makes me sad that my first thought with this wasn't "Yes! Can't wait to see him!", but instead "I wonder if we'll even see him". Ugh. The Twins are in a situation where every win counts! sometimes when I watch Molitor flip pitchers I can't decide if he is trying to save his job, or develop a young baseball team?
