Twins Chat with Joe Christensen
 
11:47
Star Tribune -  Hello. Joe Christensen will be answering questions beginning at noon. You can start leaving them now and answer the poll questions. Thanks for joining us today.

Joe C. -  

Hey everyone. Thanks for stopping by. Let's get started.

Hey Joe. What does Delmon Young have to do to get more playing time? He seems to be the odd man out right now.
12:00
Joe C. -  

I think this has been a real challenge for Ron Gardenhire, but these things have ways of sorting themselves out. Injuries will play a role. If Carlos Gomez keeps up this pace of 9 strikeouts per walk, that could open a door for Delmon, too.

What pitcher will be the odd man out when Baker returns Wednesday?
12:01
Joe C. -  

The guess here is the Twins will take the safe route and option Brian Duensing to Rochester. Yes, Philip Humber is struggling, but there are enough teams searching for pitching (Orioles, Padres, etc.), that he would get claimed off waivers.

Do you think the Twins will eventually add another power bullpen arm before the deadline?
12:02
Joe C. -  

If the Twins didn’t add bullpen help last year, when it was so obvious they needed it, I have no reason to believe they’ll pull something off this year to get a power relief arm.

[Comment From The sticky question]
When do you REALLY think Mauer will return to the lineup?
12:02
Joe C. -  

Great question. I think we’ll know more when he starts to run again. To pick a date now, I’ll say April 27, when they come back from their next road trip.
