...which is Tuesday...

If I’m Jeremy Zoll I’m calling up E-Rod for sure on September 1. I’m not thrilled about giving Roden any time in the OF in September so that could be a transaction. I’m looking for an IF for the other September call up. And likely give Mendez a shot at 1B or corner OF.

Do those exist for the Twins?

Expectations for Jenkins. Not so much for the Twins.

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

I would bet you lose $100

Great go have another North Carolinian join Jeffers  (Raleigh), Ober (Huntersville) and Mathews. (Cullowhee ). While I have not met Walker Jenkins (Southport) I have  close friends who know him well and they tell me he is a great player, but an even better person.  Even though Merek Houston did not grew up in North Carolina, he went to college in North Carolina at Wake Forest. Go Tar Heels !

How much would you be willing to bet about that?  If greater than $17,500, you may have a future in sports bookmaking.

What does this mean for Erod? 

FWIW: Emmanuel Rodriguez's exit velos in his first 3 at-bats today in AAA

At-bat 1: 101.9 MPH ground out

At-Bat 2: 103.5 MPH Double

At-Bat 3: 102.1 MPH Home Run

Personally I would love to see E-Rod be the September call-up, but I doubt that will happen. One way or the other, though, I think we will see him at some point this year.

If he is Captain America does he have a cabin on Lake America?

Better late than never.  Really excited to see what he can do.  Let the growing pains begin!

But give Zoll credit, Jenkins will not accumulate enough service time in 2026 to get to arbitration a year sooner.

For the 100th time, the super two date passed sometime in May.

So I have to ask....

Who is this Jenkins guy?  I haven't seen anything written about him on Twins Daily before today.

So it was like Bill Murray and Groundhog Day, except three months later.
