Another glaring hole in Rocco's managing style. Plays like the first inning is why you have players show up for practice.

I said it earlier this week, there is no room for Schoop on this roster right now. Move on.

There is plenty of room for him because putting an out-of-nowhere prospect in a permanent starting role after 108 PAs is a good way to bite yourself in the ass for no good reason.

 

But a platoon to see how Arraez does over the next month or more? That sounds fine to me.

No risk, no reward. Gordon is in AAA. The former Yankee is in AAA, IIRC. I see no reason to play Schoop at this point, other than fear. And Adrianza also. 

 

I remember when the Twins would refuse to play rookies, because veterans! I'm not interested in that any more.

I'm beginning to think there is something to the complaints about lack of practice. There's probably a reason why teams have taken BP and infield pretty regularly through the years.

 

Twins have been sloppy and fundamentally unsound pretty often over the past couple months, as they get farther and farther removed from spring training.

Doing something risky just because there's upside is not a good reason to potentially create a blackhole on a contending team, doubly so if there's no pressing need to do it.

 

Besides, what is lost by keeping Schoop? Do we really care about Jake Cave that much?

And Astudillo. At some point, the team needs to make a trust decision. And, if they are platooning, what are we going to learn in another month about Arraez? Will you trust him then? If then, why not now?

I'm ready to cut bait on Cave also. With Buxton's continued inability to stay healthy, I'd like a real OF backup up here. Oh, and Marwin also.

 

How many potential 2B do they need on the roster?

And former Governor Mark Dayton is in the front row near the 3B dugout.

 

I'd much rather listen to The Raconteurs :).

Yeah, it's really fascinating.

 

Lefties just don't hit lefties. It's nearly a universal truth in baseball.

 

It's interesting the approach he's taking (or at least so Bremmer says)… But he really smoked that out... too bad it was right at the 1B.
