    Nothing that the roster spot would justify. Nothing. The only Billy Hamilton I want died in 1940. He could get on base.

    And yet, basically won the series for the Twins…the last time the Twins ever won a postseason series. Only want him if you are in it for one thing and one thing only. Winning.

    Twins have outscored their opponent 19-17 over last 5 games.

    Instead of Pagan? Yes. But it’s pretty easy to argue that he doesn’t DESERVE a call up or to argue that there are still a couple others that would deserve the call up more than he does. He hasn’t been very good at all in St. Paul. And it’s still a little early to call him up just because he’s a prospect. (Although that time seems to be rapidly approaching.)

    I said Varland was massively overrated at #12…benefitting from the “one of us” mentality. I’d love to continue to eat those words.

    It ain’t bad luck when you seriously hurt your hip swinging at a pitch. That’s simply having a body that isn’t constructed to be able to withstand the normal rigors of the sport. For every piano that’s fallen on Buxton there’s been at LEAST one significant injury like the most recent one. Better luck isn’t going to change that.

    The FO has whiffed quit a bit. Still, IMO, it’s much better to have continuity in the FO, than at manager…and I don’t see incompetence in the FO. Sometimes in the dugout all it takes is a change in tone/style…small stuff to click. Bottom line, I’d take about 75% of the managers in the league right now over Rocco. He has an excuse this year with the injuries, so I doubt anything happens.

    Major league teams have seen fit to play Gallo in CF in nearly 60 games. This will NEVER happen with Wallner. Gallo is much better defensively. On the other hand, I’d like to think his offensive ceiling is a bit better than Gallo. Again…at least ceiling-wise.

    Nailed it,

    The Twins bench. It’s taking my heart, my soul, my money, and leaving me drowning in my tears.
  11. jkcarew
    Ahhh…blowing a lead in the ninth. The good ‘ole days!

    Where's Wallner?

    jkcarew commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    And none of that matters even a little if his hit tool proves as elite at the MLB level as it’s been at the AA level (and every other level so far). It’s like saying an NBA player is bad at everything…except he can rain catch-and-shoot 3’s with a hand in his face.

    If Correa is a 3 WAR player lets hope he opts out. Twins have multiple players on the roster that can approach that…allowing the Twins to invest in pitching (and/or catching). Having said that, he’s probably more like a 5 WAR player for the next couple of years…I THINK.
  14. jkcarew
    Huh? A 26-year old former #1 overall draft pick, and perennial all-star, has a 7.2 WAR season…and “as good as can be asked” is 4 WAR in his age 27 season?
  15. jkcarew
    Returning to Houston?? Funny question, right? Correa: age 27; 3.3 WAR; $35.1M (min) current Houston SS: age 24; 3.8 WAR; not even arb eligible
  16. jkcarew
    Top 5 in the order had a grand total of 3 total bases and a walk in 20 PA. But it’s the #8 hitting, 5th-string left-fielder’s fault? Sometimes this board.
  17. jkcarew
    Does anyone really believe that shutting him down now will impact his 2023 health at all? If so, why?? He’s going to be hurt every single year…and he’s going to miss significant time every single year. There’s zero history to suggest otherwise no matter what you do with him now. Zero. If he can play, play him. If not, don’t.
  18. jkcarew
    MLB.com saying a HIP injury for Buxton. ?
  19. jkcarew
    Maybe write something inspired by the 2022 AL Central “race”. A fable. The tortoise and the tortoise.
  20. jkcarew
    That explains where he was 9 months ago. Where is he tonight?
  21. jkcarew
    Is today a day that ends with a ‘Y’?
  22. jkcarew
    Couldn’t agree more. I actually had a thought the wild pitch was intentional. Then, he looks to the dugout for the 4 fingers, and Rocco…??
  23. jkcarew
    Duran jabbing at the ball.
  24. jkcarew
    Steeling bases, putting the ball in play, hitting behind a runner, advancing runners late, holding runners effectively…all that stuff does is help you win actual GAMES. It doesn’t help your WAR or wRC+ or expected ERA, and it sure as hell doesn’t get you to the show or get you paid once there. Hence, almost nobody has those skills. This is the way it’s going to be until they make the ball out of jello…or a new generation of stadiums are built that make home runs significantly less frequent/likely.
  25. jkcarew
    There have been hundreds of games won by a team that was shut out through 9 innings. Several hundreds. Leading to the obvious conclusion… if Ryan doesn’t make the mistake to Semien, gets pulled after 6 complete, and the bullpen is perfect…we win this game in extras with Buck off the bench. The pitching staff let us down again.
