Twins Acquire OF Ryan LaMarre

Yuck. I thought they were done making moves like this.

Just a depth move. Nothing to get in a tizzy about, or really have any reaction at all over.  I doubt he plays.

We have players that need rest badly and need someone to fill in. A good move. After this upcoming week the division will be done as well.

Too bad Rooker isn't healthy.

Plays -Hopefully not

I actually hope he plays nearly every game from here on out. Give a little rest to everyone else and get them fresh for postseason. 

Mastroianni wasn't available?

He's got a walk off winning hit vs the Indians on his Twins' resume so maybe that'll come in handy.

I really like this. Gave up nothing. Can play all 3 positions. Had a spot opened up anyway. Maybe he will be the guy from spring training last year. If not, at least good depth.

But... but.......

We already have the fabulous Ian Miller. Ain't that enough?

And what is Johnny Field up to these days, anyway?

.311/.380/.477 in AAA seems good to me. A nice feel good story of local guy getting an opportunity. He was a beast in 2018 spring training. The outfield needs some healthy bodies, nothing wrong with this move. 

I don’t see the point of this with Miller already on the roster, but this spot won’t be playoff eligible so it means nothing.

Of course he's here to play.
Depth for what? AAA season is over. MLB teams don't carry "depth" players that literally never play, like NBA teams do.

They do in September, in case of injury. How many at bats does Ian Miller have, btw?

I like the move. Ryan is a decent hitter and was red hot out of ST last year. Molly refused to play him, even though he hit over .400 in ST, so he finally cooled off from non use. Molly lost my respect for his bone head Gardy style of playing favorites.

Ryan could come in and give Eddie, Keps and even Buck some time off. I like it. Wade is not the answer and Cave is banged up. Gonzo is not back yet. This move makes a lot of sense. 

Its a part time job, but Ryan fits as a sub right now.

Does Rooker have to be added to the 40 man this year? He was drafted in 2017, so I thought he had another year...

He's not local. His in-laws are.

Unless they leave him on the 40 over the winter.

Lots of people hit really well in spring training. It means nothing.

If it means nothing then why did he make the team going North?

He came outta nowhere and hit like .480 in Florida. That is why he made the team. 

So don't tell me it means nothing.

It’s worth noting that decisions like playing LaMarre are why Paul Molitor is the Twins FORMER manager.

he then gave the Twins 109 PAs of .635 OPS and was gone.

It means next to nothing.

You forget. He was red hot and Molly refused to use him until, after sitting with a hot streak and .485 BA coming out of ST,  he cooled off while sitting the bench. Molitor ruined the guys chances.
