    Did Buxton get Wally Pipped this weekend?

    It's not that we definitely want to bring Bell back, but he has performed just enough to deserve it and with 90+ RBI probably 94-98. I think the Twins will bring him back for the extra 8.75 million over the 1.25 million buyout and pay 10 million for another year. The Twins do want veterans to play with the rookies. Bell likes it here and if he is a leader in the clubhouse, he has a good shot of being brought back.

    With how our pitching is set up next year. Next year is a go for it year. We need to optimize as best we can our offense. And they do that with a good bench and hopefully resign Jeffers on a QO.

    I agree about Keaschall defense however, if Bell is a clubhouse leader and I hear he likes it there and he knocked in 95 RBI this year, It's kinda a no brainer to keep him on an 8.75 million decision. Keaschall could DH some and so can Buxton. But Bell will be in the field some of those days. That doesn't help the D either.

    I suspect Clemens will go from 2b to a super sub role. If Lewis doesn't get over .750 OPS he could get minimized with Clemens getting more time at 1B when Houston takes over SS and Culpepper and Lee are the teams 2B and 3B. Lewis can come into next season with us because we have several contingency options. This is why I still see the Twins keeping Bell next season. OF has Rodriguez, Jenkins, Buxton, and Keaschall with 3 players with regular injury histories. Gabriel Gonzales is in AAA and Mendez could push Clemens there instead of 1B if we need more help there. I have Bell getting most of the DH AB with some 1B even though he shouldn't get much time there. Gabriel Gonzales could also get time at 1B as well. I am hoping the Twins offer Jeffers a QO and he takes it. We are primed to compete and a good hitting C makes a big upgrade for the team.

    The good news is the Twin's have options. With Bell getting over 90 RBI this year he is a candidate to be kept next year for 10 million. (8.75 million decision with buyout). Either way, Jenkins can slide over to CF for Buxton, Keaschall can play more RF, and same when Rodriguez gets hurt. This more open DH bats. When Marek is ready to come up, Culpepper goes to 2B and Clemens slides to 1B or super utility depending on Lewis. Good news is we have enough movable parts to be able to set up contingencies and contingencies for the contingencies.

    In the previous rankings no one was ranked 4 but two prospects were ranked 5th 🤔 Also Rojas still has rookie status. I forget the exact innings 45 or 50 innings and for hitters 130 AB or PA. We should have the same standards here to be legit.

    I was going to write something about keeping Bell next season. He is on pace for 98 RBIs. His OPS is the exact same as last season. He is not a great hitter but he is driving in runs channeling his inner Chili Davis. Spoiler alert, we resigned him too. He is a great value with the RBI, a statement that doesn't show he is great hitter by any means but a stat that matters. He knocks in 95 RBIs and 10 million option pickup is a no brainer

    This is exactly how I feel. 🤣

    I would hold him back. If the there is a long strike or lockout that lasts most or all of the year, we will be glad he is ready to play at AAA. If you think 120 AB and Jenkins is the difference of making the playoffs or not then call him up. Though I feel like Wallner should get this one since he is already on the roster. If we had no other options, it would be an easier decision to make the call. I wouldn't give Roden too much more rope as he is only hitting with runners on base.

    If Clemens OPS is higher then .750, I am fine with him being one of the starting 9. I don't want a sub .700 as a starter.

    We are still a half game out of the Wild card race as of this morning. The pickups are doing great, when Buxton gets back on track the rest of the offense will be on track. We are still in the race and we just got a veteran starter I see in the minors. So we have more depth and we are going through a stretch of playing top teams. The quality of competition should drop and we will win more games soon. I just want to see us get into the playoffs and if we can get to the round before the World Series,, I will be content. World Series even better. Anything can happen in the playoffs.

    If the Twins decide to move Preliepp to the pen to finish up the season, This will end up being a useful signing. If we need a starter to replace Ryan for a while, he will be a useful signing. If we decide to add him to the pen, he will be a useful signing. And if he does all three above scenarios, he will be a useful signing. There is more upside for the team and 0 down side since he is in the minors. If you don't like this signing, I question your rooting for the team.

    If Lee hits .250-.275 with 25-30 2Bs and 20 HRs he will be the type of hitter the Twins keep around. See Cuddyer, Jacques Jones, Hunter, Hrbeck, Gaetti, Bruno, I'm sure there are more, Lawton, Dozeir has too much power here, Koskie maybe. The Twins like an inexpensive deep lineup with 1 or 2 all-star type hitters. Lee fits the profile of a low cost high floor guy.

    How was Gomez pitching before July first? Maybe he can pitch like that again!
