    Agreed. I really doubt Belisle is their choice to keep on roster. If only there were journalists in this town that could ask these kind of questions.
  2. Vanimal46
    Yep. And will we get an answer why they're doing this and who's pulling the strings? Nope... Too controversial for beat writers to ask. They may get their press box seats taken away!

    Moya sent back to AAA. At what point are they ever going to use young relievers so they can build towards 2019? All Moya did was shut down the Brewers for 2 innings yesterday. And Belisle still remains because veteran

    The options are non-existent for help in the lineup... What is going on in Rochester? People that have been in the mix before, or acquired to be considered for the 25 man are ice cold at the plate. Zack Granite: 204 AB .211/.291/.240 3 (!!) RBI Cameron Rupp: Striking out 42% of the time in AAA. .529 OPS during his Rochester visit... .886 when he was on Texas' AAA team. Nick Gordon: 163 AB .233/.254/.331 1 HR 11 RBI in Rochester.

    Vargas hasn't been good in AAA this year. He batted .173 with a .503 OPS in June. His yearly stats have been mentioned before. That's who we need to call up? Look, I'm all for getting rid of Morrison. Suggesting Vargas will do any better is far fetched.

    If biblically bad baseball is your thing, KC and Baltimore could challenge Detroit's modern day record of 119 losses set in 2003... Should be exciting!
  7. Vanimal46
    The run for 100 losses is back on!

    Look into Roku.... The stock has been going up lately and forecasting a 15% increase over the next year. I bought in a couple of months ago.

    Littell optioned to AAA according to Berardino.
  10. Vanimal46
    Great post. Couldn't agree more with you.
  11. Vanimal46
    Yeah, I'm not advocating keeping all of them. They need to explore the opportunity cost for each player and determine if it's worth getting another 2 months of production from them, or trade for a modest return. There appears to be relievers waiting as replacements. They'll be in competition with the 12 other teams selling that have relievers as well. I'm not sure if the FO feels Gordon is ready for MLB playing time... It will be interesting to see if Dozier is dealt and the return he would net.
  12. Vanimal46
    Correct. The 'value' for 2019 and beyond is relative. They may acquire a fringe 40 man prospect like Enns, or a Zack Jones type that flames out in AA. I guess they're still breathing and on roster which could be valuable.
  13. Vanimal46
    I'm sure those names stand out to every seller. The Twins aren't going to get their #2 and #3 org ranked prospects for rental players.
  14. Vanimal46
    I'm not sure what you or others think they can get for our players on expiring contracts. It's certainly not going to be anyone who will help the MLB team anytime soon. And I'd argue it probably won't help Cedar Rapids/Fort Myers either. They still need people to wear a Twins uniform the rest of the season. There's very little available to replace those players.

    The Mariners seem like a fun team. Can your son let me know if there's a seat left on their bandwagon?
  16. Vanimal46
    I'm calling for the abolishment of open air stadiums. All April the complaints were it's too cold to play baseball. Now it's too hot. Put domes over every stadium so these athletes can play in the comfort of a 72 degree climate every game.

    I played golf for 4.5 hours in 101 temps yesterday. Real feel of 109. It didn't take a gutsy performance to finish the round. I drank plenty of water, wet my hat and towel, no heat related issues.
  18. Vanimal46
    You see that kind of heat on most days that end in Y in Austin, TX too.
  19. Vanimal46
    Morrison in left, Austi-never gonna learn to spell his name in CF, and Grossman in RF? That's not a typo? Wow.
  20. Vanimal46
    I'm sure Busenitz told Berardino, "Dude, bro Matty B is still here! Love that guy, dude!" https://twitter.com/MikeBerardino/status/1010917928039014402?s=19 Wonder if he has no issue being sent down again? Hildy will give Matty B another hug for you, bro.

    I was bought in on this idea until your last paragraph. We need Punto's grit and hustle around here. Maybe next time!
  22. Vanimal46
    It's not even casual fans that are bored... Diehards like us are bored too. I really don't want to know who Wilson, Motter, Cave, and Petit are. They don't generate any interest for the team.
  23. Vanimal46
    You haven't heard his latest singles "Kemps in my Veins" and "Mauer Chevrolet Thuggin'"?
  24. Vanimal46
    Sounds like he has a 2nd career waiting for him if this whole baseball thing doesn't work out.
  25. Vanimal46
    Pfft... Rumor has it there's a waiting list for your Christmas cookies! And demand nationwide! Well, at least in Oregon, Texas, Minnesota, and Arizona...
