  1. First base if he earns it. An athletic first baseman is an asset.
  2. It's amazing that a 29-year-old career minor leaguer whom nobody wanted has made himself a useful (at least by Twins' standards) major-leaguer. Baseball is the only sport where such a thing is possible. Whoever thought that you'd rather see Kody Clemens come to the plate than Royce Lewis or Matt Wallner?
  3. Cal Raleigh is almost as bad as Wallner right now. Baseball can be hard to figure. Wallner and Simeon seem to be good guys, so you have to feel for them. But they are hurting the team and team comes first.
  4. Before the season started I commented that if the Twins had both Outman and Kreidler on the roster -- two guys who've proven they can't hit -- it would be proof they'd given up. Yet here they are and, at least for the moment, they mark an improvement. Against the likes of the Marlins, they can play -- which, alas, Wallner and Lewis cannot. Remember when Royce was going to be OUR Bryce Harper?
  5. It sure isn't pretty. You have Keaschall, Larnach, Jeffers, and Lee giving their all; even Gray and Clemens chip in; Bradley and Ryan (?) and Prelipp pitching well; Buxton still with ONE hit with runners in scoring position, Bell and Caritini doing OK, and then a bunch of guys no other team wants. The good players are going to get worn down.
  6. Wallner has had two good games in a row; opposite field extra base hits in both. Could it be that he has figured something out? And then there's Royce Lewis . . . hitting .167. What must be going through his mind?
  7. I don't see how you can say they are developing starters when no AAA pitcher is permitted to go more than five innings. I'd say, rather, that EVERYONE is groomed to be a reliever. The Twins' approach seems to be that the most important thing for building stamina is rest, lots and lots of rest. Taj Bradley, developed by Tampa, routinely goes over 100 pitches. NO Twins-developed pitcher gets near that number.
  8. Gray came up twice with the bases loaded and put the ball in play both times. That makes him the Twins' best hitter so far this season; no one else has come close to doing that.
  9. Can he play third base? Royce Lewis is in another deep slump.
  10. He is 29. He has proven himself useless with the bat. I like the flow and he may be a great guy, but, please. Whiff.
  11. I say put him in left field and let him play. He's an athlete.
  12. You win with stars. The Twins need Matt Wallner to be a star and I hope it happens. All the stat-heads prefer Wallner to Larnach, but if you have a runner at second and need an RBI, Larnach is better.
