  1. Why didn't Drake pitch? My brother who is also a Big Twins fan said to me last week that Molitor doesn't Manage to win the game, while the cleveland manager was. He's right, look at the line-up and the number of time weak relievers have come into games that are still on the line. NO winning team would manage like this! Thus, we are not a winning team!
  2. I think he plays next year AA-AAA with a Sept call-up. Then making the team in spring 2020. Take a look at some of our top Prospects- Lewis 19 but moving quick, Kirilloff 20 and killing A+, Gordon 22 at AAA, Graterol 19 at A+, Gonsalves 24 Why is he not up yet???, Larnach 21 needs to move quickly from low A, Rooker 23 at AA. I'd like to see all these guys sooner rather then later. S.T. next year will tell the real story of when we'll see these guys.
  3. Wow, I thought we had a weak hitting line-up. K.C had 4 guys hitting under .225 and 2 under .200. To my surprise the Twins also had 4 and 2. I'm still surprised Motter hasn't been called up yet to take Caves spot on the Roster (sarcasm). Showing my age, I remember a time when if you hit under .225 you got replaced, rather you could hit HR's or not. Maybe Dave Kingman was an exception?
  4. Keep batting the Black Hole 4th Paul. What do you think will happen with a guy hitting .190 in Aug? You got to get Joe,Rosario,Polanco,Kepler,Sano,Garver,together in some order, then Grossman,2bman,Cave. You've got no chance by spreading out the hits and the guys with high OBP.
  5. With Molitor's use of the Roster, I wounder if anyone will be brought up in Sept or will they get any playing time. Paul seem to be a Manager that need only 18 guys on the roster.
  6. Top 4 OPS as of today. - Rosario,Cave,Garver,Polanco. Then Kepler,Mauer. That would make an interesting top of the order.
  7. Is it just me, Em I seeing things or is Magill good. Seems like his fastball is 95 plus and he has a biting curve. He looks like what Pressly was suppose to be. 39 K's and 8 walks, not bad.
  8. Will Austin block Rooker???This is one of the problem I have with picking up other teams left-overs. They always get the benefit of being the new face and block the path of other prospects, till they suck bad enough. Looks like the F.O. is adding a bunch of dead wood.
  9. DeJong is taking a spot on the 40 man roster. Why Seattle ever called him up, I don't know. Not smart of them. Seems like some of these deals or dumps from both teams.
  10. We have 2 open spots on the 40 man roster don't we. Any guesses on who might get those spots-Vargas,Wade,Gordon,Anderson,Reed,Bard?
  11. Put this on the F.O. We have 6 starters on the roster???Why. We could have used Moya tonight. Also, I think every fan would rather watch Busenitz,Curtiss,Moya or May fail over watching Belisle. Again, I put this on the F.O., but I put using Belisle so much on Molitor.
  12. Does this not leave us 2 open spots on the 40 man roster? If so I'd like to see Nick Anderson get a shot in the Bull-Pen.
  13. Pressly never became that dependable for the Twins. The one thing I will put on the F.O. again is the fact we have 6 starters on the roster, WHY? we could have used Moya tonight! Over using Belisle I blame on Molitor.
  14. Minor league players for guys that can and does well in the Big is always a gamble. The Yanks trade their minor leagues for Big league talent all the time. Do you want to win now or chance it for later. I'm getting a little tired of waiting. Sorry but the F.O. failed us this year.
  15. You say don't blame the F.O. for this weak season, but. Can anyone explain why so many guys could have off years? I think we were sold on High Sides that couldn't be meet. I will blame all 3- Players,Manager,F.O. for this failed season. Like someone posted before, It's always wait till next year. Also, does anyone know why we haven't seen Gonsalves yet?
  16. Slegers. I don't get that either. After his last outing I think we all knew he wouldn't get the next start. So, why don't you send him down and bring up a bullpen arm, till the 5 spot comes around again??? Also, Slegers to the DL? What? So this makes less sense, unless they were keeping Sleger around(who pitched 1 inning) to pitch in the pen, why was he on the roster. When did the injury occur in the eighth inning of yesterday's game, so he was unavailable? Are they giving him extended time off because they don't what to change the AAA rotation??? This is why I'm saying its a Failure at all levels. I think this is a F.O. roster Blunder!!! I don't know how much Molitor is involved in shuffling players on the roster. Not using Magill with 1 game left is Molitor's mistake.
  17. is it not time to move Sano to AA-AAA? Seem the guys at A+ don't want to pitch to him and I don't blame them. I know he's working on other things before the game, but can't he do that at a higher level. Also, Vargas has been hitting better over the last months time. If Morrison ends up at AAA for rehab, will he have to outplay Vargas to get promoted? He should, also Molitor loves Grossman and he's been hitting of late, so he wouldn't play Vargas. Myself, I'd just as soon see Vargas on the Bench as Astudillo.
  18. Looks like the Twins could choose between Slegers,Littell or Romero to start Friday. Or go with the surprize start of Santana.
  19. Is Wiel just having a good year or does he have a chance to get to Minnisota in a couple of years??? I thought he did decent in FT. Meyers last year.
  20. Bobby Wilson made the case for not playing him. Hitting matters more than Garvers negative defence. How many game might we have won with Garver hitting. Wilson proved it himself that he needs to play every 3-4th game. If Wilson goes 0-4 we loss. I've seen that too many times before with Wilson. You've got to score runs in the American League. Wilson would do fine batting 8th with a National League team.
