Add Rodney, Rogers, Hale and Lynn.

Rodney's stats so far in 2018: 6.2 IP, 12 hit, 2 BB, 6.75 ERA, 2 base runners per inning, 2 home runs allowed. That's not closer material. He is in danger of blowing a three run lead every time he pitches.

As long as Morrison, Lynn and Rodney the closer get consistent playing time, this team is not going to win. Just too many bad apples in one basket.

It would be wonderful if the hated Yankees can take Rodney. Payback time!

I think he's been great for the opponents and he gets paid by the Twins though

If the team that you manage can surprisingly make the playoff with its talent after a disastrous year, you can also be manager of the year.

He could let Gibby pitch in the 7th, if he gives up a walk or a hit then pull him out of the game immediately. Molitor should have done the same thing with Berrios in PR.

I think Duke might be a better option than Rodney right now. At least Duke has better ERA now.

Can we at least end Rodney the closer experience? He could definitely take on Kinley's role now since he's gone. In fact he and Duffey can now take on Kinley and Moya's role.

Dozier Mauer Sano Kepler Escobar LaMarre Rosario Adrianza or Garver (DH) Castro This is my lineup until Buxton comes back. When he comes back let LaMarre be the DH until he stops hitting.

I could see them let Grossman go when Buxton is ready to be activated. Watch out Morrison you are next. To be fair, Duffey should be given a little more time.

This guy Grossman really has no business playing in the big league. Let him bat 3rd in the lineup? Creative or stupid? He is just like Morrison and Castro. He is an automatic out. It really does not matter if he bats right or left.

Both Morrison and Grossman look completely lost in the major league. Both should be sent down to the minor league. Braves designated outfielder Lane Adams for assignment.

Both Morrison and Grossman have been awful so far, they don't belong in the major league at all.

LaMarre should be ahead of Granite in depth chart.

LaMarre should stay and Granite should be sent down. LaMarre is having a solid spring.

Between Hildenberger and Rogers, one should be sent down. Kinley and Moya should stay. Hildenberger was more consistent and effective than Rogers last season.

I am really confused why Twins fan should be excited about Jorge Polanco. He is only hitting .154 in the Spring training and already made 3 errors on the field. Correct me if I am wrong. I still remember Danny Santana had one very exciting year. Where is he now?

I am sorry to say Gimenez is not a proven winner by any means. Gimenez cannot hit and play below average defense. (3PB in one game).Vargas is not making much and is a good power threat and I think he is coming back.

The offense is good, I don't think the Twins need to add any veteran hitter next season. 1b: Mauer 2b: Dozier 3b: Sano SS: Polanco CF: Buxton LF: Rosario RF: Kepler C: Castro DH: Grossman Bench: Escobar Vargas Garver Adrianza or Granite Gimenez should not return and Goodrum is not ready. The Twins really need to address pitching during the off season, especially the bullpen. The starting pitching is legit. Santana, Berrios, Gibson, Mejia and Slegers might be fine. Bullpen candidate: Rogers, Hildenberger, Busenitz, Moya, Gee, Belisle, Hughes and some effective veterans.

I think the success is really due to the offense and defense and a few brilliant starts from Berrios and Santana. Molitor is a below average manager. Bullpen is really a mess.

I really hope Molitor would manage elsewhere next season. Sometimes his decision does not make any baseball sense. Pressly and Duffey should not pitch in any close game. Perkins, Boshers and Turley should not be on any major league roster. Tonkin and Curtiss can not be trusted. This bullpen is probably the worst in the league right now.

Of the three, Polanco is the worst fielder and best hitter, Adrianza is the best fielder and worst hitter, Escobar should have the most pop and his fielding and speed are both adequate.

Adrianza is slightly better at fielding, but he is a weak bat and has no power, he should never be in the starting lineup of any major league team. Escobar is an average fielder, he can definitely start against left-handed pitchers. Escobar over Adrianza, no doubt about it.

Escobar should be at least an average fielder. He is not making as many errors as Polanco though.
