Calling up Jackson to replace Martin?

[Mike Sixel]

hahahaha. they just refuse to call up EmRod. 

A catcher that never plays is being called up to replace Austin Martin.

Please sell the team and fire the GM.

Edit: I woke up this morning, hoping to only be positive online, but this team.....

Unserious team

I mean, I don't think he's the answer, but Wallner is sitting right there......

There are three OF they could have called up.

Me thinking the twins would make a move that could potentially help the club in some meaningful way:

[HarmonK03]

They had to add him to the 40 man roster, so then why not Jenkins.  They have 3 outfielders and Luke, so this means more of Clemens and Kreidler in the outfield.  Whatever happened to playing players at their natural position.

Why do they have no faith in the players they develop, yes Culpepper was called up basically because they had no choice with the play they were getting at shortstop.  You do have wonder if they are sitting in St. Paul what does it take to get called up.  Will we have any real reporters ask the question why Jackson especially when they wouldn't play him before.  We have an abundance of outfielders and they call up a third catcher who nobody else wants

Zoll needs to go now, I thought the Gray for Buxton move put me over the edge but this is just as egregious.  At what point are we going to attempt to raise the talent level on this team.  Playing all these average or sub average fringe players like Bell, Caratini, Jackson, Kreidler, Clemens is why we are a sub .500 team and will continue to be.

Huh, strange move. You'd think Wallner would be the choice since they don't seem to want to call up ERod or Jenkins yet. I guess that implies Roden isn't hurt? If he is, feels like they need another OF.

[Possumlad]

I don't understand this team at all. They genuinely seem to have a deep fear of or hatred for the players they develop internally. What on earth is the deal? I honestly cannot think of a single way to explain calling up a 3rd (below average) catcher to fill a spot vacated by Martin.

I would be absolutely livid if I were EROD, Jenkins, Wallner, or even Gabe Gonzalez. I hope every one of those guys start to look now for a way out of the Twins organization.

Why in the world would you add the guy you just outrighted back on the 40 to fill a bench role for an outfielder when you have a top prospect in AAA already on the 40?

they really are playing the ROY games, aren’t they?
