I guess you don't know much about the money business in baseball.

Definitely not Arcia. Parmelee and Hicks should be replaced by Colabello and Richardson. Dozier could be replaced James Beresford.

Meyer would not be promoted this year. Worley and Pelfrey have no right to be on the team. Deduno deserves to be in the rotation. Albers, De Vries and Walters all deserve to show what they could do in the major league level. The rotation should be Diamond, Correia, Deduno, Gibson, Albers/De Vries/Walters. Hernandez should stay as a lefty specialist and long reliever.

I think he is definitely better than Hendriks, Hernandez is really not that bad though (if we have enough quality arms in the rotation, he should be moved to the bullpen as a lefty specialist along with Duensing), Deduno should be the first to be promoted and then De Dries, Gibson should be right after De Vries.

Deduno deserves the chance first and then De Vries. Gibson should be joining the rotation later this season.

Buxton(CF), Mauer©, Sano(3B), Colabello(1B), Adam Walker(LF), Rosario(2B), Arcia(DH), Jorge Polanco(SS), Hicks(RF). Bench: Josmil Pinto©, Kepler, Danny Santana (infielder), Daniel Ortiz(outfielder). This roster would give me all the confidence in the world. However they really need to work on the defense though. After that we just need to add some impressive arms to the rotation?

Worley and Pelfrey deserve to be demoted before Hernandez period.

Gibson was given one extra day of rest.

We could always find something unimpressive from our current starters, I guess the fact that Hernandez has allowed a 1.172 OPS against right-handed hitters is really unimpressive, Correia has not been good lately either, I don't even care to talk about Worley and Pelfrey's performance this season. Hernandez is still a rookie, remember how many starts the Twins gave Hendriks to prove himself? Go easy on the rookie. Give him at least one or two more starts.

Whoever thinks Kyle Gibson is ready for the major should be hit on the head.

I agree with you, I think both of them should be sent down, Worley would be the first to go though. Deduno, De Vries, Gibson and Walters should all be given a chance.

A. What is so wrong with Plouffe's performance this year? Low batting avg and bad defense. C. Parmelee was MESSED WITH last year and now is being messed with again to some extent. I do agree that I don't think he is a long-term guy for the Twins and should be traded when he hits his peak this year (probably around deadline). WELL, I don't think he could hit his peak and could be traded for any value this year. D. Worley is a good pitcher who has struggled so far in half of his starts. He is going to be just fine and can work into a GOOD team's rotation as the 4th or 5th starter. He has a lot ahead of him. If, by some point in 2014, Diamond and Worley are the 4th and 5th starters for this team, then all is going to be very good. ???????????????????????????????????????? What makes you think Worley is a good pitcher? He has struggled in most of his starts so far. He has not shown anything good. He needs to be sent down immediately.

Hernandez did pitch a good game against Texas Rangers. 5 innings of shutout ballgame against that lineup is impressive to me. He threw only 80 pitches and got pulled, his last inning was clean.

Yeah I am not so sure if he could succeed in AAA now.

Pelfry, he hasn't been bad? An ERA over 6? How bad is considered bad?

Worley won't succeed in the bullpen since he cannot get anyone out. Trust me, he could do better in AA.

Could you tell me what you meant by Hernandez range? How many starts has Hernandez had in the major? Go easy on the rookie. I think he is a good lefty who might have a chance to succeed in the ML if he could work hard and focus.

NO the order should be 1) Worley 2) Pelfrey 3) Hernandez! Go easy on the rookie. Worley needs to be sent down immediately.

He pitched 5 shutout innings against Texas Rangers and threw only 80 pitches. I consider that's impressive. I think he is ready for the major league. He is a rookie, how many starts has he had in the ML? At least Hendriks was given a season to prove where he belongs.

That's because Gardenhire did not want him to throw a lot of pitches. He had one outing in which he gave up no runs in 5 innings and threw only 80 pitches and then he got pulled by Gardenhire. That's against TEXAS RANGERS. In my opinion he is a lot more effective than Hendriks. He is also a lefty. How many starts did Hendriks get in order to earn a win??? I feel that one good start against a REALLY bad AAA team does not earn a quick promotion to the major. One bad start against a GOOD major league team does not earn a demotion to the minor either. I don't think it's time to promote Gibson yet. Deduno and De Vries should get the chance before Gibson. I worry about Worley and Pelfrey more. They are not rookies and their ERA is over 6. Come on, go easy on the rookies.

Come on, one bad outing from Pedro the rookie, someone in his family passed away, he could not focus. I would worry about Worley and Pelfrey more.

So you prefer flame throwing peanuts like Hoey right? Btw, where is this Hoey guy now?

Lost to the NY Mets twice and the 3rd game postphoned. Winless there as well. Trying hard not to be swept is nothing to be proud of.

Hicks is going to be sent down when Mastro comes back. Ramirez is going to stay as long as he hits. Doumit would get his playing time as a part time catcher, DH and RF. What's the problem?

Well Hernandez got pulled after throwing 80 pitches and 5 innings of no run ballgame. Hernandez had a perfect 5th inning, no baserunners allowed.
