Gordon, Kepler, and Polanco get us any decent pitching in a trade? Or does Polanco’s trade value better next season at deadline?

Let Buxton DH for the rest of the year, to get healthier, or at least until Gordon starts to faultier. He is so solid right now.

Sad it had to end this way, but is best for the team. I am incredibly uncomfortable with Pagan in any situation and to a much lesser extent Jax. Any chance Sands sticks when we can bring Moran back?

The front office uses the IL like a AAAA team, or players they don’t know what to do with. It’s kind of annoying.

Wallner is now with the Saints! Love it! Kernals website says:christian-encarnacion-strand to Wichita State Shockers??????‍♂️

No trades, there are to many gaps in the pen. 1 or 2 pen arms won’t change a first round sweep if we make it that far. I love Twins baseball, but this is where we are at.

For Bundy starts yes, maybe Archer if he turns back into a pumpkin. Three innings max for Bundy no matter what the score is or how he is pitching. He goes south fast.

Duffy….uuuuugggg

We just don’t want to show the Yanks our best three pitchers, right??

Rortvedt on 60 day now as well.

It’s actually 91.?

Each start for Archer since his second has been worse. He would be better as a bridge during short starts. Better than Thielbar or Duffy? 2 inning guy maybe?

Devin Smeltzer needs to be in this rotation full time once Joe Ryan comes back. Archer to the pen or goodbye?

Everyone gets a break, and everyone gets a turn, this is the only way all these injuries make any sense. Right?

One run leads are fun.

Let’s not forget this was the juiced ball year as well?

If you look at Pagans year with the Rays in 2019 he pitched 70 innings, had 96 strike outs and had 20 saves. 2.31 era. He thrived in the closer role. Home run numbers a bit high, but I think the FO views this kid as a late inning guy.

Hey guys, was not sure where to post this question. I am looking for a Hard Hit% statistic if that exists. Does anyone know where I can see this stat? Thanks in advance.

Dozier needs at least on hitter in front of him....right? 1. Hicks/Rosario 2. Dozier 3. Hunter 4. Plouffe 5. Vargas 6. Mauer 7. Suzuki 8. Santana 9. Hicks/Rosario Mauer could bat as low as 7th, but this will probably never happen. Hesitant with the Hicks/Rosario portion of this. Hicks has started to walk a bit and seems to be getting on more consistently OBP is 348 over his last 7 games.

Milone looks to get about three starts. Will this be enough for him to keep a spot in the rotation? I hope so. An ERA near 4.0 should do the trick. I think he will be better than that though.

They know what they have in Hu. They probably want to see how Lee fairs against better hitters. Hu is apparently comfortable against AAA pitching granted it was 1 game.

This does sound amazing......it is a bit unrealistic to think that all of those guys will pan out, and if you are talking power you left out Sano. Vargas and AB Walker are very much up in the air. While their power potential is tremendous, they show a lack of strike zone control, this is why Vargas is back at Rochester right now. They still have time to develop, so time will tell.

Why is Polanco not getting a taste of AAA? He is being blocked by a 27 year old who has never hit above .300 at any level.(Diaz) Bernier does not count. What is the thinking here? Does anyone think Polanco should get another taste of the show while Santana gets a bit more seasoning at Rochester?

This guy hit well in the Minors, just wonder if he is another Chris Parmelee type.
