Twins need to find him a right hand man IE a bench coach and possibly a Hitting coach. I hope they can dig around some of the available managers that don't have a current job bring someone in that can help him. Lloyd McClendon comes to mind that can help. He has coached a lot as a hitting coach and was a bench and manager. That is some good experience that can help Rocco.

Put him in the bullpen and make him your Long reliever/emergency starter. If you sign someone else then DFA him. No need to shed him now.

I feel every time he struggles, it is simply, he is swinging to dang hard. Last year he slowed/smoothed his swing and started mashing. Now he is back to his, swing out of his shoes, type swing again. That is my couch coaching.

Just give him a series or two off and let him PH here and there. He did the same thing for me in OOTP21 and in the show. I did however bench Sano for Gonzalez because i was tired of watching Sano strike out every single AB. Donaldson is literally the worst batter i have on both game platforms. I just started to play Adrianza since he can actually get a hit or hit it out of the infield.

In the game today they said he took live batting practice today. So coming along. A few more weeks and hopefully he will be in his first spring training game. I imagine he might start the year on the DL for a few weeks and stay in extended spring to make sure everything is fine and his timing is back on his swing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesotatwins/comments/dbw3lw/bar_for_watch_party_in_denver/ Cap City seems to keep coming up as a big Viking Bar so i don't see why they would not prioritize the Twins during baseball season. This could also be your post on reddit.

Morneau is our favorite, so the wife and I are glad he is getting more air time. We both dislike Hawkins, he just seems so clueless in the booth. We both like Dick and basically it is spot on with what Seth said. The idea of moving provus to announcer on TV would be a neat idea. We love hearing Gladden on the radio when we drive up to the cabin or sitting at the cabin. We always joke that Galdden is in a hawaiian shirt and shorts, drinking beer and just calling the game.

I would love for them to do this. 4-110 is fine. Make it structured as a 40/25/25/20, that way we have a bit of wiggle room for signing/extending players in coming years. He can play 3B for a few years then slide to DH for the final two with some time here and there at 3B for days off.

I would the Twins to rest Berrios until the playoffs. He majorly needs some rest and a recharge. Or maybe let him pitch two innings and pull him so he can keep his routine going. We will need him for game one.

Sign DJ LeMahieu to a 4 year 50mil (too low?) Sign Keuchel to a 4 year 100mil Trade Gordon, Gonsalves, Cave, Mejia, littell is this enough? for Kluber. Sign 2-3 Bullpen arms. There are plenty of good ones. I would like to sign Moose to rotate at 3B/DH with Sano. Cron, Austin and Sano can also rotate in 1b and DH with who ever is hot at the time. But i am ok with the current three. But i would make signing DJ my priority. Mad Bum has shoulder issues now and would be a big GIANT NO for me. Grienke Is just to old and not worth the time or the money.

D.J. LeMahieu Sign him for a 4 year 50mil with a opt out after two/three. Trade Gordon, Gonsalves, Kepler/Cave for Paxton from Seattle. Move Polanco when necessary for Royce.

We need a 3rd basemen. Sano, if he comes back, is our 1st basemen. I dont know why everyone is fighting this. LoMo will be gone after this year. Mauer will be signed for two years as a backup 1st basemen/DH/bench. I say trade Dozier to the brewers for Lucas Erceg(3B) He can play in AAA next year and possibly be called up mid year. That will be a good transition time for Sano at 1st with Mauer. As a 2nd target with Erceg maybe we can get Payton Henry©. I think Erceg/Henry will be great future pieces for the team.

I would like to see if we could maybe get Andrew Susac or Chance Sisco from Baltimore. I feel they would both fit well and I just feel Susac just never really got a chance. He did play well in SF as backup. But i have mentioned this a few times now. Susac is 5 years older than Sisco though. Susac should be fairly cheap to get.

What about making a trade for Andrew Susac from the orioles? Orioles have zero room for him and could be a great addition. We would not have to pay much for him. He does not have alot of MLB experence. But not sure that is really important. I wanted the twins to go after him when Brewers let him go this year.

I seriously feel he is just another Tommy Milone 2.0. He has great stuff but just will not get any where in MLB. I don't know why, and i really hope i am wrong.

I would like to see if we can get something with a Dozier & Rosario trade for a controlled pitcher. We can plug Granite in left with Grossman a bit. We can move Polanco to 2nd and have Escobar/Adrianza play SS. Next year we have the same at SS until Gordon is ready to take over for good. Maybe in the offseason we can pick up a power hitting corner OF for LF or just keep rolling with Granite. But i honestly think what will happen is we trade escobar/grossman for a RP or something small like that. This has been coming up with in my head for a few weeks now.

What time should we be at the stadium for the pregame dinner? Is it in the actual outfield?

http://www.espn.com/blog/mlb/rumors/post/_/id/27943/mlb-rumor-central-brian-mccann-clears-waivers Brian Mccann passed waivers. I know he is really expensive (17m) and has a no trade clause but he might be a great player/leader to help our young guys. I wonder what it would take to get him.

I don't understand this at all. Gardy pretty much hates working with young players. He made it very clear when he coached he would rather have older players on the team than younger players. He has zero patience for them. I can see it now. Gardy will ask for a special pitching assistant and will higher Anderson. All he knows is pitch to contact and the pitchers are not doing that. So he needed help on the subject. I was never a Gardy fan and never will be. But what ever, his name still makes me cringe when i hear it.

Oh man that is pretty funny. I laughed pretty hard at this.

Catcher will be a hard fix but FA might not be the answer. We can work a trade in the offseason. Avila and Weiters would be pretty good upgrade/help with Suzuki. I am not worried what so ever on SS. Polonco and Santana can duke it out in the offseason and polonco will win it more than likely. He has commited one error since his first week at AAA from what i read earlier this week. Seriously we are fine. We dont need to dump prospects for someone this year.

I would just like them to stand pat on this season. Maybe a small trade for a RP. We have so much talent and young team that we can fix some holes in the offseason.

I think Dozier would be a awesome batting 3rd. Move Mauer to 2nd or 6th in the order.

I think it is a completely idiotic idea to try and transform him to a SP when he was a high level RP. Let him do what he does best and strike people out in relief. Be nice to have him on the roster next year coming in to set up perkins.

VOTE FOR DOZIER! http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/all_star/y2015/fv/ballot.jsp?tcid=ASGFINAL_mlb_clubcentralincentive
