    I’ll be interested to see if the buyer has Tampa/St Pete roots. If not, it would be a slightly less ‘good’ sign that an out-of-towner chose the Rays over the Twins for the exact price the Pohlads are offering. In fact, I wouldn’t think that would help the Pohlad’s stance at all. Quite the opposite.

    Went to Saints game last night. Not the same feeling/atmosphere as when they were independent. Now more fans there to see prospects developing than to just have zany fun, even though some of that zany fun still exists. One game, but boy the baseball was awful. Slow, a ton of pitches required to get anyone out, really bad defense on both sides not helping. Raya bad, Dobnack not much better. Horrible situational offense in extras. Raya, following easily his best outing has another train wreck. Walks, wild pitches, wild pickoff attempt, hits and an HR. K’d 3 of 18 batters. Sigh. When you look at the current pitching staff at St. Paul…yikes…they’re beyond thin, even for AAA. Granted, it would look a lot batter if Morris or Lewis or Raya could consistently get outs. But they can’t. So far.

    Yes and no. Rosario still has a TON more swing and miss in him, and more power than Rodriguez at this point. Meanwhile, Rodriguez has one of the best hit/contact tools in the system….and an absolute hose for an arm. I think they both may have relatively high ceilings, but, to me Rosario’s floor is still much lower than Rodriguez’s.

    Ha! This is exactly what this organization has banked on for years. If they made ‘ALC Runners-Up’ pennants, this org would proudly fly them among the bevy of wild-card and ALC ‘championship’ pennants. It’s actually embarrassing. The Poland’s may NEVER sell the team!!

    I mean he has, and needs to be, held to a higher standard than any other free agent simply based on price. So, not great. But, still no. bWAR since he joined the club: 10.6 Buxton over the same period: 10.3 When the club has managed to make the postseason over that period.. Correa: 9 hits, 4 RBI, and about a 1.000 OPS. Buxton: 1 plate appearance (career postseason OPS is 286)

    Today would have been a good day for Buxton to gut it out. SWR with a step in the right direction. Nice to see Lee showing some pop from the right side recently. Otherwise, same old, same old. The back end of the bullpen is far from dominant or even really good. I’d call it extremely ordinary.

    Every year we expect Castro to be a bit player. And every year he ends up being one of our best players. This is not a good thing.

    Including…no, especially, those that went the extra mile to adopt, or become Foster dads!
  10. jkcarew
    His fielding metrics may say he’s a DH, but his hitting numbers say he’s an outfielder. Or a really good defensive catcher. 😉

    Definitely not a win-now move. He’s unable to earn consistent playing time on a team that has an offense worse than the Twins. Larnach has been infinitely better offensively. Not close. MAYBE a win-later move? He’s 26. Yes, 2nd overall draft pick…but consensus was projected much lower…and sometimes teams simply make bad picks. Regardless, I’d rather significant moves not be made until the future status of this FO is more certain. It’s not like the club is on the verge of…anything.

    If not for the recent trend of horrible losses, this would not have been a discouraging loss at all (as long as Buxton is fine). Houston’s been playing well, Brown’s a stud, Ryan did his job, we need Lee to take a step, not like Duran was getting hit hard at all, etc.
  13. jkcarew
    Are we 100% sure that Raya isn’t Bride’s replacement? Presumably, Raya is materially more effective on the mound, and, if he HAD to hit, not much less effective.
  14. jkcarew
    And drafted only 153 picks after the Twins took Keoni Cavaco!

    I can’t even imagine the number of articles regarding the brilliance of their pitcher evaluation and development the Astros equivalent of TD must have.
  16. jkcarew
    All Ryan needs to do today is be perfect. Go get ‘em, Joe!
  17. jkcarew
    Sell expiring contracts. No significant buying, PLEASE…until we know who’s going to be running the org.
  18. jkcarew
    Well, this is one way to catch up to your Pythagorean won-lost.
  19. jkcarew
    Worse part? I’m not sure Bride can go tonight.
  20. jkcarew
    Yes. Basically the same could be said for over-age journeymen pitching at AA. I Should have used the sarcasm font. 😉
  21. jkcarew
    And we’ve got a couple of guys in the Florida Complex League that have been LIGHTS-OUT!
  22. jkcarew
    Giving up the 2-point conversion after the opponent hangs 6 on us is becoming a disturbing trend.
  23. jkcarew
    Look! Twins once again setting the pace for Major League Baseball!! We’re undoubtedly the envy of every fan base.
  24. jkcarew
    Everything!?? I’m guessing all your kids have November or early December birthdays?
  25. jkcarew
    Bride is one of the weakest hitting pitchers that I can recall.
