Nice work. Illustrates that there are few easy choices. Do we keep a known quantity who may yet do better or roll the dice on another starter or platoon?
Ummm, let's see... - fine pitch taker and defensive catcher - fair bat - not a rookie Seems you might want a guy like this around for late- or extra-inning lineup re-shuffles, and naturally in case someone (gods forbid) gets hurt.
Ummm, some folks consider this an asset. Are their dugouts full of players that can do this? "5 players that need to go bye bye to make this team better: Marwin, Cave, Adrianza, Wade, and Rosario." We'll get back to you when there's an opening in the Personnel Department. ;-)
Even if they brought him on as a project, the Twins could never have predicted Wisler's performance this year. His 1.080 WHIP over 16.67 innings is .300 lower than his career number, and .120 under his best 40-inning year in 2018. He has picked up right where he left off with in career-high last year with 11 SO/9 . Having given up 10 BB his 1.08 ERA ought to be higher but he's only surrendered 8 hits. Anyone want to speculate why the left-handed outfielder who pinch-hit for Vargas was Cave and not Kepler? Did somebody get benched?

C: Oh look, this isn't an argument! A: (pause) Yes it is! C: No it isn't! It's just contradiction! A: No it isn't! C: It IS! A: It is NOT! C: You just contradicted me! A: No I didn't! C: You DID! A: No no no! C: You did just then! A: Nonsense! C: (exasperated) Oh, this is futile!! A: (pause) No it isn't. C: Yes it is! I came here for a good argument! A: No you didn't, you came here for an argument! C: An argument isn't just contradiction. A: Well! it CAN be! C: No it can't! An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition. A: No it isn't! C: Yes it is! It isn't just contradiction! A: Look, if I *argue* with you, I must take up a contrary position! C: Yes but that isn't just saying 'no it isn't'. A: Yes it is! C: No it isn't! A: Yes it is! M: No it isn't! A: Yes it is! C: No it ISN'T! Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says. A: It is NOT! C: It is! A: Not at all! C: It is! A: (hits a bell on his desk) Thank you, that's it. C: (surprised) What? O: That's it. Good morning!
