    Whether the innings he throws in what is left of the season are his last or just a start to a new chapter. Wishing him the best. Perseverance.

    The elite prospects ship has sailed August 1st this season. That was only for Ryan and maybe Buxton. I wouldn't and don't expect anything much for either. It's more about development of what we have. Similar to trading Larnach (August 1st) would have made room for Jenkins or Emma. There are aways teams looking for a 5th starter. Just don't plan on seeing the prospect(s) in MLB for a while if ever.

    I like the Kremer trade. For this season it was a necessary addition at a minimal cost. Next season I'm not sure how it will shake out. Kremer seems like a likely off-season trade to me, along with Ober. I'm going to guess Tom will be in the same "we're going to compete for a playoff spot" mode. After 2027 all of Pablo, Ryan, Ober and Kremer will all be free agents. To me that says the #4 and #5 spots in the rotation need to be filled with two of Prielipp, Matthews, Abel and Rojas to have a reasonable transition from 2027 to 2028. Plus, there's more upside there. If the 2027 season goes bad Pablo and Ryan traded at the deadline. Maybe Tom goes big and extends Pablo or Ryan. That seems unlikely though.

    Hey Ross and Action made the September 1st roster. Congrats to Ross and WB to Action. Per MLB trade rumors.

    It's an interesting line up. Definitely would want an upgrade or two. Brandon Lowe is a good defensive 2b and plenty of power. I know he's another injury worry but him in the 4 hole would be pretty potent. A two-year deal? Then Clemens would be on the bench or able to cover for Emma if he struggles and injuries. Plus, it buys time for Houston/Culpepper/Lee=SS/3B/2B Gotta find a defensive home for Keaschall...Him at DH feels like a missed opportunity to upgrade the roster. No, I don't have any idea where his D is best hidden. Resign Jeffers. QO or 3 years $15-$20 mil per. I mean, we paid Vazquez 10 mil per. Jeffers is at least 50% better. Royce..what to do...what to do. No idea. Keep? I guess it would depend on any trade offers. Can Keaschall play an average 1B? I'd copy the line up posted, but switch Lowe for Clemens and Jeffers for Caratini. If I'm free to spend even more $ I'd try and get Suzuki for DH/RF and Abreu for the BP. It's not my money so more upgrades. 😀

    A historically terrible AL plays a large part in this comparison. In fact, it makes it apples to oranges IMO. Let's count our blessings, a CEO that says we're going to be completive or one who says we need to right size payroll? A GM that says your right Shelty, Lee isn't a SS, Royce you're not our 3b anymore, Wallner got strike out in AAA? Now low and behold we've promoted two guys in August. Sure, they should have traded Jeffers and Larnach at a minimum at the deadline. But really how many more LH outfielders do we need? 😜

    You've been saving that one haven't you?
  8. weitz41
    It may be a crowded OF but not with legit CFers. It was overdue. They needed to play the years of control card/manipulation of service time. Emma Sept 1st. Kreidler to AAA and Ross called up. 4 games back of a WC, 6.5 behind the White Sox time to shake things up. Who's coming off the 40 man/active roster to make this happen? Buck to the 10 day doesn't clear out a spot does it?
  9. weitz41
    To just try and tackle your point. They have planned for the future. Jenkins and Emma are ready and waiting. This injury along with the September roster expansion should get one or both of them on the active roster. By reasonable I mean something in the order of you don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Give it a week you'll like get your wish.
  10. weitz41
    looking at Kreidler's numbers lately makes me really want to give Ross his 26-man spot. Clemens and Ross seem like a solid pair on bench guys for 2027. Wallner. What do you do with a guy that really just can hit homers for you? DH? No room for that on this roster. Raya. Some constancy would really help to figure out if he's part of the future or not. Gadriel Gonzalez is one of the tougher ones on this list for me. The Twins need a better RH outfield option then Marin. But GG hasn't shown that in AAA this season. He's still young for AAA. maybe one more season there will do it?
  11. weitz41
    Well...Better that accomplishment, then most strike outs by a team. Errors or runners stranded.
  12. weitz41
    Basing that on healthy or not at this moment is like saying Juan Soto is worse than Ryan Kreidler...Be reasonable. Healthy...who is the best position player on the Twins...
  13. weitz41
    As long as Buxton is the best position player on the roster it probably won't change. Let's hope our next star player is more durable. It should have been Royce, but two blown out knees changed that. Emma...nevermind. Jenkins maybe. Way off in the distance Lackey...

    I'm a little confused how Buxton reinjuring his hip turned into Tom Pohlad is making IL decisions. What I got from all this is Buxton wanted to play in the field of dreams game (that's a once in a career game) and also wants to help with the playoff push. I'd guess there was more than one discussion about if he should. Between Buck, Med staff, Zoll and Tom Pohlad they decided to give it a shot. I highly doubt any one person made that decision. So, he came back at 🤷‍♂️ 80%. Unfortunately, that has not worked out. Now reinjured and likely out for most if not all of the remaining season. Get healthy Buck in the unlikelihood of a wildcard series. Next man up.

    Tristan Gray's or Matt Wallner's reaction.
  16. weitz41
    Nailed it. Thank you for saving me the time!
  17. weitz41
    This is IMO is a nuanced subject. Mostly around payroll. How many of last year's WS teams current SP, that aren't on the IL, are Homegrown? Zero. Including the players on the IL Two. The best record in the AL. One. The second-best record in the Al. Two. Worst record this season in baseball...Rockies. 3 of 5. Athletics, 3 of 6. technically J.T. Ginn could be called an A's prospect. So, 4 of 6. Homegrown. Sure, you hope for 1-2 of them. Trades, same. It's the free agents the Twins don't take advantage of.
  18. weitz41
    I also think there should be a spot in the BP for Garret Acton. IDK who you option to make that happen though...Sure Adams got blown up by the Padres..So did Hoffman and Morris for that matter. If I remember right Shelton didn't give Acton many, if any, higher leverage inning earlier this season. Maybe it's best just to let in play itself out.
  19. weitz41
    Well..I did point out with the Clemens article that Buxton needed one. Clemens was hitting like 600 ops. before the article and BOOM 1.063 ops since. This is a group effort folks... But. NO had to wait till after the Padres series. OK, enough of the baseball gods hate the Twins stuff and back to reality. Buxton definitely doesn't look like the one from a couple months ago. From what little I've read. Hip injuries are a nagging one that doesn't heal without extended downtime. Like an entire offseason. I'm not onboard with this Roman Triumph thoughts of Jenkins. But I do agree the Twins need their best outfielder playing. Buxton on one hip is not in the top three.

    I'm a little surprised Tinney wasn't promoted with lackey as well. Looking at Cedar rapids roster though, it is a bit crowded with catchers. Could be room for Turner though.
  21. weitz41
    My 2 cents are Falvey and Zoll targeted switch hitters to help deal with the line up imbalance of lefties, for their heavy matchup approach. Bell being better than expected is a surprise bonus.
  22. weitz41
    Let's not forget these guys are used to 50-60 game total for a season. I'm sure some fatigue is playing a part in any college players start in MiLB. Still happy with how these two are playing. Could be better could be worse.
  23. weitz41
    I'm not going to get into the weeds on this one. I will say that the picture fits what I think Buxton would have to say about the article.
  24. weitz41
    Makes sense that he went 2 for 4 with 3 RBI's and a run scored today. How about an article about Buxton not hitting homers lately for Thursday's opener against the Padres? My fantasy team could use the points!
  25. weitz41
    I like Ross over Kreidler (oops on putting Keaschall). I'm looking for a utility player that can be my backup SS. I want Culpepper focused on 2B. I do like Keaschall's bat so could go him over Martin. Vahn in 2028. Royce, Larnach and Martin traded. Payroll if there is any...Spent on a good starter, or extensions and the BP.
