    It might wake him up. Seems like he's sleep walking at the plate right now but if c'orrea goes to the 8 slot Buxton should go to the 9

    I'd give the overall talent in our pitching pipeline a C or C+ right now. Time to restock through trading ageing veterans like Polanco, Kepler, Gallo for promising high A prospects and taking a higher percent of pitchers in the first 10 rounds of this years draft if the right oportunities arrive. After all, we will need to restock our relievers in a few years .. 🤣

    It's not like we don't hit and miss on first round picks anyways. Why not take a swing at a position of need who could be major league ready in a few years ... I'm not for taking a high school player and wait 7 years ..
  4. saviking
    Not evaluating talent but from a pure positional need, I think our system could use a starting pitcher or catcher prospect the most.

    How bout we just keep bringing up players we developed and trade any veterans for young minor league players to stock our farm system. Not seeing any benefits from trading for veterans ... Just kidding, but maybe not ...

    None of this is Kepler's fault. He is what he is. It's managements fault for running him back out there over and over and signing Gallo when we had/have a stable of young outfielders ready for the bigs.

    I've seen Buck in these pull happy slumps many times and the only way he gets out of them is waiting on the pitch longer and trying to hit it to right center field. I call it bi-polar disorder. When he's off his meds he hits terrible ..

    DAMN GOOD ARTICLE, DOC!!! I agree with you 100% Even the Head coach part. I'm done with him.

    Lewis needs swings in the major's to get better. I'd stack his .281 average at this stage of the year up to Gallo, Kepler sub .200, Buxton trending that way, Honestly I thought the article was going to be about the errors he's made at third base ..

    I'd suggest changing his name to Bert Blyleven and let him pitch all the innings he wants .. Don't treat Ober like a pussy. He's a strapping young man

    Great to hear Castro has options left, not that I am saying we should send him down, but if Polanco and Gordon come back we will need all the flexibility we can get.

    Ryan could have only given up 2 runs and we still wouldn't have won the game. I honestly think Buxton would hit better if he was playing the field. Put him in left or right field if you like where it's safe with less running. Sure he could get hurt. All of our players seem to get hurt all the time. But if he's going to suck at DH, what does it matter. I'd rather have Buxton hurt and Wallner at DH than Buxton floundering at DH. And having Kepler robbing Larnach or Wallner from abouts at the major league level to continue their development is unconscionable.

    Kepler, Pagan and dare I suggest we add Jorge Lopez to the list? Well, maybe not yet but he better get out of the gutter soon.
  14. saviking
    We need a competitive rebuild 😜
  15. saviking
    If they don't then they need to be damn sure they only use him to mop up games we are either way ahead in or way behind. His brain goes numb in high leverage situations.
  16. saviking
    He'll have to wait out Vasquez contract but is young enough to do so. But if someone gets hurt it's good to know he's available .. What intrigues me is he has hit two homer runs over 475 feet ..

    Each pitcher the Twins face has one or two pitches in his arsenal designed to get you to chase the ball off the plate. Once the batter knows those pitchers he needs to not swing and force the pitcher into a high count and strike. You are playing the probabilities. But it takes players with discipline and the willingness like Arreaza to not be afraid to have two strikes. Who remembers Castro's game ending bat against Cleveland. He face a pitcher that struck him out by throwing a ball knee high that dropped out of the strike zone. Un hittable. So he graces the same pitcher with the game on the line and what does he do. Swings at the same pitch over and over until he strikes out. Might be one of the more pathetic abates I have ever seen. Let's look at pitches certain players should NEVER swing at: Correa ,, inside on the hands Buxton .. Slider on the outside of the plate that ends up foot outside. Not being able to stop swinging at that pitch is the reason Sano isn't in the bigs right now. Even if he recognized it after the start of his swing he could never stop in time to keep from breaking his wrist. Kepler .. high and tight resulting in week ground balls to the right side. MIranda .. can't lay off the high hard one Gallo, any ball out side the place whether in, out, up or down. They should send that guy up there and tell him not to swing until he has two strikes. They need to stop being so swing happy ..

    Agree one hundred percent, Mike. I'd call it an early trade-away ..
  19. saviking
    Agree, Seth. Your second comment was my main point. Let's not get over excited about an older player playing against younger players.
  20. saviking
    Maybe they should have made Buch a first basemen and not signed Gallo,
  21. saviking
    Mathew, what a great article. It articulately says what I have been feeling for several days now.. I think Buxton is a better hitter when he's in the field. If they feel Buxton's knees won't allow him to play in the outfield anymore, they should have made him a first baseman and not signed Gallo
  22. saviking
    If Wallner back to STP for Kepler was a trade, the Twins got fleeced!
  23. saviking
    He had one hell of a month but at 24 years old they better start moving him up the rung ..
  24. saviking
    Luck of the Draw ..
  25. saviking
    Saints get Wallner Twins get Kepler. If it was a trade the Twins got fleeced
