Twins Need to Cut the Fat.

I expect the Twins to cut the fat from their roster soon. When I say that I'm referring to Livan Hernandez and Mike Lamb. Hernandez has been shelled lately and the Twins are obligated to him for just this season. It's too bad he's been so bad lately because just 3 or 4 starts ago he was doing well enough that a team in contention especially in the National League would have given the Twins a decent minor leaguer for him. I'm guessing now he'll only be had for a bucket of balls. Mike Lamb has never been a fulltime player in his career and the Twins are finding out why. He's hitting less than .100 against lefties and has hit just 1homerun this season. Brian Buscher is a beter option at third base and he's younger. I expect Lirano to replace Livan and Buscher to replace Lamb. The sooner the better. Cutting Rincon is a step in the right direction.
