The flip side is that a mistake in the infield doesn't go for multiple bases quite as often.  I despair of figuring out where to hide him.  He and the coaches simply have to figure out how to upgrade him to "serviceable" somewhere on the field - he's too young to DH except as the last resort.

It  puts people on base who should not be.

all time  favorite -  when with the Atheltics

Chief really loved how Rickey always talked in the third person. Chief found that endearing.

Larnach is dead man walking.  Not back next year.  His time now should be auditioning his in house replacement now.

Larnach is a candidate to be non tendered same as they did with Rosario, no reason to sign him and try to trade him and then be stuck with him again.

Royce -  watching Jeffers  ??

I disagree, actually. Keaschall is orders of magnitude worse than Julien.

He's had way too much infield time. Thats why he's not there any longer.

What spot on the field provides the least amount of opportunities to screw up? It used to be 2B. Wherever that is now is where Keaschall will end at least on a part time basis. Currently he’s best utilized as a DH.

Larnach will have a MLB job next year. Just not at arb 3 salary and not with the Twins.

[Patzky]

Good game Taj.

Put him in LF. Other than the fact that he's 2 years closer to FA than Emma, GG, or Mendez, he has so far proven that he belongs in MLB...

Nance is in.

Happened to Rosario, who put up better numbers and was just as much an adventure in LF....

Uncle, Jeffers!

"What's all this I hear about Ryan Jeffers being an ump?  I know he hasn't been getting many hits lately, but to switch places and be the umpire while a complete novice takes over catching the pitches, why, that just can't work out well!  Maybe he should sit out a few games, or just DH, but to be the ump? This is an outrage!."

"Psst.  They were saying he's in a slump.  Not ump.  Slump.  And tonight it looks like he busted out of it maybe."

"Oh!  Well, that's very different then.  Never mind."
