Yopu have to watch adding some men to the rosters, as if you don't keep them (i.e. Wood) you have to send them thru waivers if you don't keep them. Of course, if you don't want them, maybe no one...

Question: Can Deduno be optioned out or would if he have to pass thru waivers if the Twins decide not to keep him around. Of course, if the Twins don't want him, maybe no one else would...but.....

Whew!

Anyone crying for a minor shakeup?

Hernandez should go, for sure. Pelfry should have a short leash. Who do we bring up, Walters, Deduno, Gibson.

Hicks needs to go to AAA and play everyday and...

Sadly, we don't need to evaluate borderline starters. With Meyer, Gibson and May in the wings, you can pretty much say that such pieces as Deduno, Walters, DeVries are just minor league placesetters....

Again, you have to put a value on players and where they fare in the franchise. Right now, the Twins have to make a major decision on Justin Morneau. Is he worth overpaying for because of his years...

At some point you take a risk on a proven stopper. ,Yet Grienke can get injured. Dickey shows he needs to pitch in the NL. Lohse needed spring training.

Before we get overly excited...right now...

Hernandez should hang around for a day or two, depending on who is called up...but the next start should by by DeVries with Gibson in the wings. Hernandez should stay in the Rochester rotation and...

I believe Mauer is best suited at #3. Of course, the Twins have NO #1 and #2. But let's still experiment with Dozier, maybe give Escobar more time. If I have a complaint of Gardenhire, it is usually...

Arcia and Hicks both need to see seasoning time. When Mastro returns, he may be a regular for a month or so. I see the bigger question being what to do with Morneau and do we stay with Parmelee as a...

Doesn't seem to be much in the way of Twins talk on K-Twin. They get Coomer on, but talk about so many non-Twins subjects, he might as well become a DJ there.

Plouffe is a place-setter, and if affordable, a bench warmer for his arbitration years. Sadly. Unless he clobbers the ball like he did last year for a month -- then trade him if he ever gets...

Put him on the 60-day and add a centerfielder, now. Make it a rotating spot until someone produces.

If the Twins had a true DH, I would be comfortable with Doumit being the 30-40 game backup catcher. As it stands now he is an adequate DH and can shift into other positions, allowing those players to...

Again, who knew that Mastro would turn up lame, Hicks would start the season limping, Benson would literally die, and the other candidates can't find a space on the 40-man, unless you bump bench bat...

I think the Twins will send Casey down, as he has that option, just so they can get a look at Wood, who thru thought highly of enough to put on the 40-man. Then it is just a matter of everyone...

If we didn't have Carroll, I would say Escobar is valuable as the backup, getting into partial games or subbing out at 2B and SS. So, let's get rid of Carroll, of play Escobar fulltime at shortstop....

I am surprised, too. If anything, I would be playing him to add some value to him as a player as you never know when a team may need a temporary middle infielder with experience. His trade value...

You just aren't swapping replacement players in and out of the roster with waiver claims. Often the players on waivers are those that have no room in the current organization and thus become...

Charlie Leesman, who the Twins once drafted, is also available. Better than Caleb, perhaps.

DeVries

I'm an oldtimer. Loved Frank Quilici. Also had a softspot for Tom Hall. My alltime favorite was Cesar Tovar!

Okay, a guy is labeled as part of the team's future.
His first job is to get regular time playing a position, not riding a bench.
Hicks is getting his at-bats and lessons in the majors. He could be...

The question also is access...so you can sit in primetime seats or have to sit where you have your ticket.

Place-holder.
