Julien/Lee/Lewis is the reason you trade away Arreaz....name a pitcher on staff that is better than Lopez or can replace him.

He had a couple good outings last season to end a post-season slump by the organization (congrats). Now he's back to 1-2 with a 3.97 ERA. It's who he is. Arraez is a career .324 hitter.

quote: ORIGINAL: Trekgeekscott quote: ORIGINAL: Phil Riewer quote: ORIGINAL: twinsfan Rocco is one week away from getting canned. Why? So Far: Santana fail Margot fail Paddock as a 4 fail Varland as a 5 fail DeSciani trade fail Those 5 are the GM/FO. Rocco isn't getting canned. and what you listed Phil, considering the constraints on the budget given to the GM/FO I would say all of it is on ownership and their BULLSHIT excuse to cut payroll. Without that limitation I doubt Margot, Santana would've been signed and they would have rode into this season with at least Varland in the rotation. Paddack was a virtual lock to enter the rotation either way. But they made no effort to add starting pitching, because of the budget They signed aging has beens and traded for a never way because of the budget They hoped and prayed for injuries to be minimized...and here we are 16 or so games in and half our bullpen, our starting ss, 3B and RF all on the shelf, the LF we were counting on to slug the shit out of it sent down. We are relying on Farmer at SS, Castro at 3B and in the line up nightly. Most of this was the result of budget. You could hire Theo Epstein to run this front office and we'd still be here because ownership has once again gone cheap. Why fire the manager? or the front office? Nothing will change if we do. There is a reason Varland worked well last year...he was option 7 and Ober was option 6. Paddock should be 6 and Varland 7 this year. I really would put Paddock and Varland in the pen for 2-3 weeks and call up SRW and Festa/Raya. At the very least call up SWR and give one of them a reset.

But my point, for the thousandth time is, it's okay to not like trading Arraez but still like Lopez. We all know Arraez is a good player. But you don't need to bash Lopez to make that point. I was sad to lose Arraez too. But that's over. Lopez is here and he's a very good pitcher.

5 game L streak ends Bullpen survives Matt Bowman gets one of the biggest outs of the game..Austin Martin had better stay with this team.

Varland 2.2 3 H 4 R all earned 4BB ! HR 2 K ERA 9.18 this team is so done. So glad I didn't get MLB TV this year not worth it.

Varland needs a reset at least. Or a transition to BP. He's not a good option for the Major league rotation at this point. Totally predictable he'll give up 4-6 runs. and with this lineup, that's a guaranteed loss.

He is having command issues....that doesn't work well in the bullpen either. I watched Varland 3 times in ST. The first 2 times he gave up no runs, but a lot of loud outs. His last outing he got torn to shreds. His fastball at 99 - 100 is hard to hit. His fastball at 95 - 96 is hit hard.

Well. Varland and Camargo sent down. Daniel Duarte moved to 60 day IL to make room for Ronny Henriquezon the 40 man roster, who is called up. And Kepler activated off of IL.

What I do not understand is 4 million for Margot, 5 million for Santana and JD Martinez was never in play. SWR better get called up----he looked better than everyone but Lopez and maybe Ryan in his last start---there was zero reason to send him back down.

Nick Nelson @NickNelsonMN · 7h Some good (but bad) details on Brooks Lee here, whose back injury has proven to be more serious than initially thought. "Lee has been diagnosed with a herniated disc" and "is about three weeks into a two-month rehab plan." Hope to see you in June or July, kid.
