    Anyone have an update on a time table for the return of either Rooker or Gordon?

    “He showed no signs of rust, delivering three shutout innings of one-run ball” Come again?

    13 pitches, 5 strikes. Yikes. Gonna have to do better than that to see action with the big league club.

    He's batting .419 in his last 10 games and is having a really, really good season up to this point. And yes, still only 23. 40 games at SS and 28 games at 2B, about a dozen errors on the year, not great, but not terrible either. Good for him, and good for the Twins. Here's hoping he keeps developing and moving forward.

    Wowzers. I know it's early but Cavaco has 17 strikeouts in his last 36 PA. That's a rude awakening. Good experience for him to get some GCL time this year though.

    I could see a scenario with MadBum, based on how Rocco has used "load management" with a big chunk of the roster already, where the Twins acquire Bum, use him almost like Pineda now, spacing out his starts when possible, more off days, and Bumgarner is rested and ready to roll for the postseason. At the end of the day, if he labored through the season like a 3rd or 4th starter, but made it to the postseason and came up with 3-4 big wins on the way to the Twins in the WS and shows even flashes of what he's done in previous postseasons, he's worth giving up a to 5 prospect.

    Tyler Jay.... It's just not looking good. Damn.

    How dare you say DL. The politically correct mob has forced a change from the Disabled List to the Injured List.

    No love for Dougie M? Come on!!

    Interesting how a few arbitrary things out of anyone's control could impact an evaluation like this dramatically one way or the other. The evaluations might look a lot different had Buxton, Sano, E. Santana, Morrison, and even Lance Lynn not all been virtually irrelevant this year for whatever reasons. In many aspects, yes, the grade is probably Incomplete but I have to admit I like what I've seen for the most part. I'm cautiously optimistic for the future!

    That's not necessarily what I'm saying. I don't know if they should sign him or not. Obviously the preference would be to look for bigger fish to round out the middle infield whether it's at SS or 2B. I'm just saying that if the Twins spent a boatload of money elsewhere (pipe dream largely), either SP, RP or outfield, it wouldn't be the end of the world to have Forsythe holding down 2B until Gordon or whomever else is ready to take the reins.

    A little surprised at the contingent of "trade him" folks. Who in the world is going to give the Twins anything for him right now? They would get NOTHING for him in the next few weeks. They could do a lot worse while spending a lot more money than having Forsythe for a reasonable 1-year deal for 2019. He's a very capable 2B that knows how to handle himself at the plate, even when he's not on a hot streak. At the moment, there are no other options for a 2019 Twins 2B man.

    So you're assuming the Twins FO doesn't realize this either? I know, I know, I'm sure they're all idiots....

    Buxton's been averaging about .255 since the end of April. At what point do we cut him a TINY bit of slack? If you want a larger sample size, he's been averaging .235 since the end of August last season with 11 HR's. A bad month of April and 2.5-3 decent-good months. Right now, there's more than enough reason to have him in the lineup every day.

    Nice to see the shiny new draft pick, Kirilloff, continue to rake at E-town! Also nice to see Wimmers having some success in Rochester, he's been lights out for over a month now. Maybe there's a remote chance he's not a 1st-round bust? I'm sure we'll see him up in August so it'll be interesting to see how he does!
