I’m basically with you. I’d like to see Gabino and Morillo get the call up. Morales is a must basically. I could see Pridie getting the call as an OF just because Gardy could use him as a pinch runner (which he loves to have).

I hope to never see Tolbert or Buscher in a Twins uniform again, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we saw them over any of the younger guys, especially if we are still in it.

In past years, they have been reluctant to add players to the 40-man just to call them up in September. So I would expect the majority of the five or six players they call up will already be on the 40 man. The only one I would like them to add is Morillo, considering that I hope they add him in the offseason anyway. Of the players on the 40-man, Gabino, Mulvey and Morales seem like obvious choices. Unless they have some sort of miraculous comeback this year, I see no reason to bring Delaney or Slama up if it means adding them to the 40-man prematurely.

Forgot Mulvey. Only see him being added if the starting rotation remains in shambles and the Twins are no longer comfortable starting two from the mix of Swarzak, Manship, Duensing, Humber and Perkins.

I figure Humber will remain on the 40-man and possibly open 2010 as the 12th pitcher, like he did this year…unless he becomes suddenly tradeable.

That would preclude Morillo and Henn. I would expect Gabino and Mulvey to be promoted and Humber is here already. I imagine Tolbert and Buscher will return. I suppose they will recall Pridie although I don’t think he’ll remain in the Twins’ organization after this year. Morales will return and I have to believe that Valencia will get his first taste of the majors this September.

Regarding Henn and Morillo—the Twins need to keep both of those guys. Morillo throws hard and has had pretty good success at Rochester. Henn went on the DL almost immediately after he was sent down, but his numbers at Rochester have been sparkling and he is pitching well now.

If you’re out of it, you bring us some guys that you would not if you were in it. And vice-versa.

I’d like to see Mulvey, Morillo, and Henn get another chance this season.

I happened to notice in the game notes from last night that Matt Macri cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and removed from the 40-man roster. I wonder if that’s a sign that Morillo (or someone else who’s not currently on the 40-man) might be given another shot, since I can’t see why they’d bother to clear space for no reason.

That the Twins will call up

Sean Henn and Yohan Pino along with Swarzak/ Mulvey

but not Robert Delaney or Anthony Slama this September….
. Is anyone else getting that feeling?

I don’t believe either are on the 40-man roster, so I doubt either will be coming up. I still like Henn, even though he was hit hard his last few appearances for the Twins. I think he was pitching nicked, if not injured. After his stay on the DL at Rochester, he has pitched very well again.

Look for Swarzak, Dickey, Mulvey, Morales, Butera, Busher, Tolbert and Pridie.

Instead, the Twins should call up Swarzak, Mulvey, Morillo, Morales, Plouffe, Tolleson, Valencia and maybe, just maybe Peterson or Huber.

yeah but I almost feel like Alex Burnett or Rob Delaney will be called up though

I mean c’mon Twins!
