It was about A) He didn't force anything (he did) and B) and it only being about Keaschall's glove (it's more than that, but that is an issue,.)

Do you like watching Buxton play hurt and Larnach not hit for 2 months while also seeing Keaschall not be able to defend in the outfield? You have a player that is A) Better than Buxton when Buxton is injured, B) better than Larnach for sure on defense and on the bases as well as probably with the bat, and C) certainly can move Keaschall to a less demanding outfield spot because Keaschall can't defend? Then THAT is what is happening here.

It was always just a matter of time. Congrats to Jenkins for forcing their hand.  He has been looking like a star player recently. Let's hope it translates at the next level.

Forcing -  LOL.  He forced nothing, Keaschall's glove was a gift to him.

Culpepper and Jenkins can feed off each other, if nothing else, right? 

Josh Bell is in vibe heaven.

Ridiculous they didn't call him up sooner. What's the damn excuse for playing Larnach and Roden and Keaschell in CF?

Uhhhh. . .  The only one that I come up with is that they have a ticking heart.  Certainly not their offensive nor their defensive skillsets!

Yeah, fingers crossed. I'd like E-Rod to join the mix and Keaschall and even Lee are still part of this  generation that can create a new energy.

Even when they were losing, seeing the young Byron Buxton, Eddie Rosario, Miguel Sano, Max Kepler, Jorge Polanco and Oswaldo Arcia standing on the front step of the dugout cheering every run their teammates got was more exciting baseball. Same happened with the Hunter/Jones/Koskie/Ortiz/Guzman era and obviously the early 80's teams that went on to win championships. I get that veteran players bring other intangibles, but it seems this organization only ever has sustained success when they throw large group of their homegrown talent center stage and give them the reigns. 

Yeah, and watching Hosken, Bombo, Lenny, and...

Nevermind.

So, if I put $100 on the Twins to win the world series at +17,500...how much do I win?

He's hitting .411/.488/.795 this month. Even setting aside the .411 batting average he could be hitting .250 instead and a .795 slg would still be absurd. He's also walking as often as he strikes out and instantly becomes the best defensive outfielder on the roster other than maybe Kreidler, at least until Buxton is fully healthy again. I'm not saying he'll instantly be great because even amazing prospects often struggle in their first taste of the majors, but he could not have forced the issue more than he did. 

"Until he is fully healthy again"...let him play...honestly..you simply cannot count on it...if he returns. ...for how long?

You forgot Roden...but that's probably a good thing.

Keaschall should have NEVER put on fielder's glove.  He has cost us two games in the OF already!  For heavens sake, get him out of the OF!  We still want him on the team, but he needs to find a position he where he can actually contribute.  Right now, 2B looks like his only choice, but even that is tenuous long term.

Larnach, nope.  He's probably done as a Twin.  He's earned it.  Sorry, he's a good guy, just not a good enough MLBer.

No, I doubt that Jenkins can ever be as good as Buxton when Buck is fully healthy.  But, he will be the next All Star CFer for the Twins.  By that time, Buck will be a DH, and probably a very, very good one.

What does this mean for Erod? 

He comes in next spring to be the 4th outfielder in a rotation with Buxton, Jenkins, and Keaschall.

Buck will move to LF. Jenkins CF. Erod RF and Martin/Roden 4th/5th OF in ‘27.  We are going to be a very young team!

Buxton is not moving any where, till he says so.

I can't wait to see Walker play, although I'm a little disappointed that I am going to Friday and Saturday's Saints game, but oh well. Jenkins not only hits the ball everywhere, but he also hits the ball hard from gap to gap. He looks like a gazelle out in the outfield tracking down gap shots that should have been a double or triple. The sky is the limit for this kid; I hope he finishes off where he left off with the Saints!!!!!
