Twins Analysis Roundup, Sept 11: Kremer Trade, Jackson Leadership, Rodriguez Potential

[Twins Daily]

Here is some of the latest Twins analysis from around the internet. The focus is on Dean Kremer's trade value, Alex Jackson's leadership impact, and Emmanuel Rodriguez's potential departure due to roster depth.

• Twins’ Dean Kremer trade with Orioles already looks like a steal despite a few bad starts (Puckett's Pond). Argues the Twins' trade for Dean Kremer is a steal despite his rough starts, citing his 3.99 FIP, 1.23 WHIP, and 31 strikeouts, along with acquiring a low-ceiling prospect in Jhomnardo Reyes.
• Twins Underperforming Alex Jackson Clubhouse Leadership Metric (bing.com). Argues the Twins' underperformance despite Alex Jackson's clubhouse leadership, citing the AJCLM metric which predicts a 21-game win streak since his return, but the team is 9-12. Jackson's intangible impact, including leadership and support for teammates, is highlighted as unexplained.
• Emmanuel Rodriguez's Time With the Twins May Be Coming to an End Before it Begins (bing.com). Argues the Twins may cut ties with Emmanuel Rodriguez before his MLB debut due to a crowded outfield and lack of call-up. Key evidence: Rodriguez remains in Triple-A despite being on the 40-man roster, while multiple younger, left-handed hitters are already in the majors or on the rise.

Alright, here's another pass. As always, please give suggestions!

The "Emmanuel Rodriguez's Time With the Twins May Be Coming to an End Before it Begins"  this article looks to be pulled from Twins Daily. Same thing with the Alex Jackson one. IDK if it's supposed to do that, but I still like it's premise!

I do like the idea of outside links and analysis.  One of the problems is that there are MANY websites out there that are AI driven and contain a degree of clickbait, stupidity, and triteness that make them a pretty big waste of time.  That said, if you want to do the curating work and cull out the idiocy, it would be fantastic!  

I think that's what this is about, but I'm easily distracted and confused!

That's definitely a bug!

That's effectively what I'm trying to do. Right now, I have sites like MLB.com, Aaron Gleeman, and FanGraphs as the first tier. The second tier is Pioneer Press, Strib, etc. The third tier is SB Nation and FanSided content.

Those tiers are going to wobble over time, but that's my starting point right now.
