    The Twins are 2nd behind the White Sox in Runs Scored and 2nd in the league in most runs given up. You tell me who the culprit is. But it's kinda staring us in the face. Our pitching staff. So injuries to 4 starters Ryan, Abel, Lopez and Festa and implosion of Woods-Richardson and a bullpen that wasn't fully constructed properly after last season's sell off until this seasons trade deadline buys. After saying all that I am sure it's not the pitching staff. Definitely not them...🤔 At this point we are a healthy Buxton, Ryan, and Lopez away from being serious contenders. Maybe injuries are the problem.....

    back in business now Lee win us the game. You can Do It!
  3. Brandon
    At least he is wearing out hte pitcher for the next guy.
  4. Brandon
    Jenkins loves to foul the balls and not put them into play alot.

    If we somehow win this game we are only 2.5 games back and almost in the race again. we win tonight and we only need to go 17-5 to end with the 85-77 record needed to follow the 87 Twins to the World Series.

    He hit 20 HRs in the minors that is some power. I am not saying he is a big time hitter but give the guy a shot.
  7. Brandon
    He would score from 2nd on most singles. I know he is slow as a C but still. I would think they would want to let a guy with some power hit.
  8. Brandon
    more free innings.
  9. Brandon
    I dont get why he bunted?

    And coaches and I'm sure his healthcare isn't free. I'm sure he wasn't that expensive in the grand scheme of things but they are spending 💰. I would be surprised if they didn't spend at least a million over the last 4 years directly and indirectly with resources used
  11. Brandon
    If he hits 96 or higher they might need to add him to the 40 man roster

    I hope the Twins get to keep him this off-season. They have so much invested in him. It would be cool to see him come up next season in the pen and dominate.

    I guess the rest of the line up was so bad we don't get a traditional countdown. Just a quickie article to get it out there. Keaschall is this generations Dan Gladden but good. They do have a similar power output and speed. Opposite average and on base skills. I do agree that Keaschall needs a defensive position and will get better with work.

    8.75 million. We are already paying him 1.25 million for the buyout.

    Did Buxton get Wally Pipped this weekend?
  16. Brandon
    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.
  18. Brandon
    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.
  19. Brandon
    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.
  21. Brandon
    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.
  22. Brandon
    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
  23. Brandon
    This is exactly how I feel. 🤣
  24. Brandon
    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.
  25. Brandon
    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.
