The Twins had designated Santana for assignment, and he would have hit waivers in a few days. Chapman certainly isn't an All-Star by any means, but Santana was rotten garbage the last two seasons and wasn't looking any better to start this season. I wish Santana well, and hopefully he gets his career back on track. And for Chapman...well, hopefully he can figure it out in AAA and can make an impact for the Twins in the near future.

SWSiouxMN Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 The Twins won their 18th game tonight against Cleveland Last year it took them until June 11th to get their 18th win. Sano hit another bomb, Erv pitched another gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 perhaps .500 isn't out of the question for this team this year. I'm more encouraged to drive the 5 miles to the ballpark to go watch them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux rube Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 From Aaron Gleeman: 13th time in Twins history they have started a season winning 19+ of the first 33 games. Finished .500 or better in each of the previous 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only would they have a decision on Santana should that occur, but Dozier would be in those discussions as well. With Gordon waiting in the wings at SS, they are going to have to make a hard decision on who they want to end up keeping between him and Polanco. The one big concern I have if they are in contention is the closer, not because I think Kintzer is terrible, he has done a very good job and his story is pretty cool... I have no idea how he will handle a big save spot in a middle of a division chase. I hope he isn't like Perkins who was very fragile mentally. With that said... its fun to see them in first place on Memorial Day weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
