    Nice to see Keaschall hitting the ball hard.

    Been at a family event. My picks to click were Wallner and the bullpen. How are they doing?

    Well, at least through July anyway. Probably. Hopefully.

    But how many RBI would he have if he was batting behind Martin (484 OBP) and Larnach (424) instead in front of them? The bottom of the order has been a complete black hole, except for the recent surge/improvement from Lee. I’m not one to gripe about a lack of RBI, unless the guy is passive with RiSP. That’s not Buxton.

    Prielipp encouraging again. You can see how he could be much better even…especially learning how to command his changeup. Still really hasn’t pitched much as a pro.
  18. jkcarew
    You would think Buxton would have turned in at least a short list of teams by now as well.

    Please leave the firearms in the safe, Tarheel.

    I’d rather lose by 3 runs with guys that have a future with the club, a chance of getting better, than lose by 1 or 2 with these guys, I’d rather lose by 15 runs with guys that have a future with the club, a chance of getting better, than lose by 7 with these guys,

    2 out and Wallner on deck. The smart play there was for Keaschall to just keep running until someone tags him.

    Jenkins more aggressive lately…hitting the ball harder and turning on pitches. To the point he was over-aggressive in his last two at-bats, chasing and striking out, which is rare for him…and will probably continue to be relatively rare. But you love to see him attacking, two of those doubles were rockets.
  25. jkcarew
    Nice. We have his struggles narrowed down to…pitchers who throw with one of their hands. Seems like they should be able to work around that. No?

    Gotta hand it to Ober. He’s the big engine that can’t…do anything we think he should be able to do…except get people out. Desire and competitiveness is so much easier to relate to than absurd talent.

    In 2000 the Twins lost 93 games. They had 24-year olds Eric Milton, Torii Hunter, and David Ortiz (oops)…23 yo AJ Pierzynski and 21 year old Johan Santana (86 ip; 6.49 ERA). They had Cuddyer, Morneau, Neshak, Kubel in the minors and were about to draft Mauer with the number 1 overall pick.

    It’s not just the rubes…the fascination with mediocrity is alive and well here on TD. Who cares if turning the page on Wallner…or, literally ANY of the veterans who’ve had time to prove who they are…makes the team marginally worse in the short term??? This goes for the “good” veterans who could return value, as well. Why does winning 75-80 games instead of 60-70 mean anything to anyone? And how can you think (it’s not thinking, it’s hoping) that excellence can ever even possibly occur when mediocrity is the GOAL…Every. Single. Year. Any honest effort to build a team with a high ceiling (mid-market, primarily from prospects and prospect capital) means accepting the risk of a low floor at some point.
