    I wonder what, if anything, making this move now signals about the FO feelings on where the organization is and how they'll approach FA this offseason. My initial thought was that they wouldn't make a change if they weren't going to push to be competitive immediately next year. But after the press conference I'm not as sure.

    Looking at the AL Central schedules, the Twins definitely have the easiest road the rest of August, especially the last 2 weeks.

    Plus $1.5 million in international bonus slot cash.

    I was disappointed Molitor didn't use Dozier's 11th inning strikeout looking to stick up for his players and light a spark. Sano ended up being the one to give Cuzzi the reaction he deserved but that should have come from the manager.

    Some of my thoughts after the Dodgers sweep of the Twins: The Dodgers are clearly a team that is and has been ready to contend for a World Series while the Twins aren't quite there yet. But, the Twins had the lead in the bottom of the 8th inning in 2 out of 3 games against the best team in baseball and were a few pitches away from winning the series. That's very encouraging for a team that is just getting into what should be a multi-season window of opportunity to win a championship. I'm not ready to completely give up on staying in wildcard or division contention this season quite yet, but the Twins need to take advantage of playing mostly sub-.500 teams over the next 2 weeks.

    Good trade to help the rotation this season without giving up a top prospect. Intrigued by what move might follow acquiring Recker.

    Good bounce back win after yesterday. Glad they're playing in Texas in April. Odor's 9th inning fly out might have been out mid-summer.

    Breslow is the clear guy out for me. A LHP who hasn't been good against lefties for the last few seasons brings little value going forward. I was surprised he made the team to start the season, and Molitor's decision to only go to him once so far tells me it wasn't his choice. Breslow's 40 man spot could be used for Park once/if he gets healthy or anyone who has more value on the field than a old arm veteran pitcher.

    One thing I was curious about going into the season was how the team would respond when they're not playing their best baseball after a season of long losing streaks. That's not something that can be answered in the first week especially with the hot start, but it was nice to see them win to take the series after losing Saturday.

    Mauer swung at a first pitch!

    Castro calling for anything but a fastball to Moose and Santana shakes him off before serving up the dinger.

    Grossman 0-2, 2 Ks. Queue the impatient calls for Park.

    That's a big assumption with so many off days early in the season. Plus, playing in AL Central cities in April comes with a high likelihood of some rain outs that increase the chance of skipping the #5 starter a time or 2.

    I'm seeing a lot of cynicism after the 25-man roster has been set, so it'll be interesting to see what people predict for April. Having an early season schedule heavy with AL Central teams should only help since the division is pretty weak with the Royals down, White Sox rebuilding, and Tigers a big question mark for me. I say the club stays right around .500 in the 12-14 win range.
