    Based on the history of this FO, I would think August before they even consider sitting/releasing him.

    Yes. Obviously, the #1 problem is the increasingly inflexible analytics based philosophy that ties the hands of the coaches and manager. People on here have railed against batting average as a useless metric, yet instead they are relying on other metrics averaged over a player’s career to make decisions for today. That results in Kepler batting cleanup when he’s batting .050 and a player who is 3 for 4 today being lifted in a key situation because the cold guy on the bench got a bunch of hits off this pitcher 5 years ago. It simply isn’t sustainable.

    Looking at his entire career-we are getting Kepler. For the majority of his career, this is who he is. The months he “figures it out” are the outliers.

    “It could be worse”. Yea? Go Twins?
  6. Reptevia
    Not if his defense needs work and he’s a platoon candidate. We have a roster full of those guys. (If they’re healthy!)

    “Each of these players seems destined for a long-term role with the club…”. I’m not sure ANY of these players are destined to be here long term.
  9. Reptevia
    C- seems about right.

    Tomatoe-tomatto.

    He’s a relatively expensive blocker of prospects. I feel about this like I would have felt about Kikè. Meh.
  12. Reptevia
    This is an upgrade over Gordon?
  13. Reptevia
    Truly, we’ll never know what percentage of revenue is going to payroll, as the Twins (and every other MLB teams) are unwilling to transparently open their books. We’re just guessing.

    This whole thing can simply be spun as: “We’re betting on our guys. The guys who have gotten us this far plus some soon to arrive young guys.”

    A Taylor reunion and an another well past his prime starter I suspect. Ryu, odo or Syndrgaard?
  16. Reptevia
    Royce Lewis is no Bobby Witt. Not even close.

    Sisyphus night. Everyone gets a Buxton rock to roll up the hill.

    Now all the offseason machinations finally make sense! It was hard to see it at times, but now that we have the complete picture, it all makes sense.
  19. Reptevia
    Decent plan to add an infield coach who can play sometimes.
  20. Reptevia
    Max had an outstanding 2019 and a respectable second half in 2023. That said, you are still correct. He is our most “reliable “ OF.
  21. Reptevia
    It sounds like Seattle enquired about Kepler, but were rebuffed. Could we have gotten one of their younger/better starters for a package? We’ll probably never know.
  22. Reptevia
    Literally no one is saying Disco is a Gray replacement. Point is, Gray is gone. The Twins were never going to go out and buy a Gray replacement. With that in mind, is the pitching staff better with Disco and Topa? Yes. Is it it better to replace and aging injury prone infielder with capable younger guys? Probably.
  23. Reptevia
    I’d be interested in someone summarizing this, so I don’t have to listen to it.
  24. Reptevia
    I think the more esoteric the analytics get, the increased focus on minutiae, the more areas that a player can be found wanting. It is getting easier and easier to talk yourself out of signing a player. Just another example of how analytics is ruining baseball.

    “Dance, piggies, dance. Here’s your slop! Eat! Eat!”. Hahaha!
