    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.

    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.
  3. 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!

    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.

    I agree. He has that potential (Arraez). So does GG despite this season with the Saints. 1 Mendez 2 Gonzalez 3 Jenkins 4 Buxton 5 Rodriguez Looks like a 40-pitch inning with a 3-run home run.
  7. weitz41
    I really like Mendez's 20% K rate and his hit tool. The ground ball rate will eat away at his BA playing against major league defenses and the lack of power with have pitchers coming right at him. Still, he's pretty young, like Gaberial Gonzalez. He could grow into a little more power yet. I suspect both those guys would be on the 26-man, for the team they came from, right now if they were still there. I'd like to see him get a run at MLB pitching... I really don't know how they're (or any team for that matter) going to make this many outfielders fit on one team. Buxton, Larnach, Martin, Keaschall, Clemens, Roden, Wallner, Jenkins, Rodriguez, Gonzalez and Mendez for what should be...4? 26-man roster spots in 2027...Zoll's got his work cut out for him.

    Well Sam, Sorry about the Tar and Feathering you'll likely get for this article. Also, hopefully the folks TPing the trees in your yard only leave TP behind...Speaking logic is a recipe for 50+ posts and 1-3 thumbs ups for you when it comes to Jenkins. The frustration boils to the top when he's brought up. I agree with you for the most part. Just don't tell the angry mob.

    Those were sold right after the trade deadline. NO REFUNDS! I will say I was tempted to get tickets for the Twins/Brewers series after that. Almost got me. I think it was $90+ for visitor BP seats. The lost trades could have yielded zero mlb players. Could have been Tatis. We'll never know.

    The had a snowballs chance in.... So now they're getting to the point of a snowflake's chance. It's not like they traded any prospects away that would help next season. Hoffman and Kremer will be around, like spending on FA's before the season begins...Yes, Hill has a big upside, but other than that, nothing lost for a season or two or more. If there was a lost opportunity for greater improvement down the road it was in what they MIGHT have got in trading Jeffers and Larnach. Anyone know what those offers were? Going to need a 10-5 run over the next 5 series. If not, time to start getting the triple A guys some MLB at-bats and preparing for 2027.

    So slipped him through waivers. Great...Call him back up 15 mins later. WHAT! really?? Well, he was key to their success in the last two weeks..why not...Lets keep using our handy Ouija board and Tarot cards for roster construction.
  12. weitz41
    Can we have a redo?
  13. weitz41
    step away for a sec and JEEZ...
  14. weitz41
    Sound like a bitter old man...Wait...I'm speaking from experience. YOU kids..GET off may lawn!!

    I feel Martin is a great fit for the platoon heavy team we have now. No, he's not going to go deep very often. Ideally, he or Keaschall would be viable at the keystone. Unfortunately, that really doesn't/hasn't worked well. Probably going to need that last option next season if Emma's on the team. Also, as others have pointed out who's going to replace Martin as a platoon in LF? Even after Emma and Jenkins get the call, I still see a platoon for Martin to be on the team. Emma's splits in the high minors make me believe he may end up as another platoon outfielder. Keep in mind the injuries make it hard to know if his splits are a sign or a mirage. So even with an OF of Emma, Buxton and Jenkins the need it still there into the future. Then add in the injury histories of 3 preferred OF's going forward.....
  16. weitz41
    It's a frustrating make up for the Twins and us fans. The draft is the key to where the team is now IMO. Drafting sluggers that can't hit same side pitching, combined with bat 1st players who can't play average defense. You end up with a platoon heavy, mediocre team. Royce's two knee injuries changed the equation a bit. As someone who's had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders, I feel safe in saying you never are the same as you were before those happened. Lee was never going to be a starting SS on a payoff worthy team defensively. You can go over each position and you end up with Buxton and.... Right now, the Twins are built to fight for a wild card. They don't have the players to have a Hrbek, Puckett, Gaetti, Knoblauch, Harper and Gagne in line up. Some of them, but not enough. so, we have what we have.
  17. weitz41
    On a minor league deal? Heck yeah that's a good signing. We're one injury away from it being a big deal. Until Ryan comes back. Could buy some time for that if needed.

    Sometimes you just have to enjoy the meal and stop looking at the ingredients.

    The guy isn't even sure where his locker is for a home game yet. Let's give it a few more weeks before we yell Yahtzee! I like what has happened so far, the opponents play a large part in that. The old adage. Small sample size.
  20. weitz41
    Leave my delusions alone. 😜

    dang...just breath...Come on series win. then face the Phading Phillies. Looking forward to seeing Duran....stay in the BP the whole series
  22. weitz41
    Take him deep Royce my fantasy team need the points!
  23. weitz41
    Got to take advantage of the moment... Get the Roden dude out a here! All he does is clog up the bases. Dang 3/3 with a walk. Not one homer...Time for him to go.
  24. weitz41
    I'm not a big fan of Keaschall at 2nd base. I'd also prefer Clemens in a utility role as well. I'm wondering if Buxton as a 50/50 DH may save on the hip issue that's popped up the last few seasons. A few spots for upgrades and trades to make it a little better 26-man roster. As for the article. I'd say the Twins need to bite the bullet and send Jackson down. I hope he clears but there will be other catchers available during the offseason if he doesn't. Maybe even him...Then give Emma his spot on the active roster and Jenkins Sept 1st when the rosters expand.

    Hopefully this hot streak lasts until the end of October. 😉
