Please DFA Clemens already.

[Mike Sixel]

Seriously, how are he and Outman on this roster still?

I don't think Clemens is going to add much in the way of long term value and I wouldn't stress about it if the Twins DFA'd him, but in his whopping 50 PA this year his xwOBA is notably above league average at .336.

Clemens is also traditionally a good fielder.

The biggest reason Clemens is still on the roster. The Twins didn't really focus on trying to get him off the roster this off-season. 

In other words... the acquisitions of Wagaman, Arcia and Kreidler are the guys who can currently take him off the roster. 

Out of those 4... I'll take Clemens.

The time for roster decisions was last October and November. The Twins sat on their hands for three years. In a month or two, maybe longer, there will be change if the current group continues the struggles. This team is doing better than most of us expected and is the most interesting group in a few years. I'm preaching patience until the club wakes up from its DK dream/nightmare and moves forward with several changes.

Clemens is serviceable.  Outman on the other hand...

Clemens in a utility role, fine. As the big side of a 1B platoon, I have problems that can be solved with just a bit more creativity.

Emma Rodriguez should push Larnach to primary DH and Bell to primary 1B. Outman off the roster. Larnach would then shift to OF so Rodriguez/Martin can spell Buck.

Kody Clemens is what you get when ownership and the front office sit on their hands.

I'd like to nominate Anthony Banda for the next DFA thread. Woof. 

[Hrbowski]

He's going to be the starting second baseman when Keaschall gets sent down
