    Agree that offense and defense åre big even possibly bigger issues than BP weakness. My point was that the bull pen was often mentioned as the most easily fixable/re-build after the trades on TD. I am suggesting early returns are not supporting that premise. BTW - I am not frustrated, I have been a Twins fan since the 1960's - I have learned if you want to be a Twins fan and enjoy the experience it sometimes takes a roll with the punches attitude. (Of course, that doesn't mean I have to be quiet as a fan as to what I think is happening with the team.)

    An erratic bullpen, shaky defense and struggles with producing with runners on base are all morale killers. I am most concerned about the bullpen.

    Let me understand this - Outman can play multiple OF positions and he can run. He is the best candidate the Twins can roster to handle these two things? (All the while striking out nearly 50% of his AB's while going 0-20 and counting at the plate as well.) This doesn't make any sense.

    Most successful teams have a roster of diverse skills and abilities. I cringe when the Twins FO attempts to alter a player away from his natural core talents and towards some higher K results for limited power results such. as it is with Martin.

    He is an adventure, I like it. At least he's not just playing it save afraid to make a mistake.

    He'll be fun to follow, but unless something unusual occurs he has a long time to before impacting the Twins/

    Do you think there will be another trade deadline sell off to talk about?

    Roden is in a tough spot in St Paul as well given a likely OF of Rodriguez, Gonzalez and Jenkins. (Not sure of Jenkins status.) Fedko too? If the Twins intended to keep Larnach they certainly shouldn't have targeted Roden in a trade package.

    Abel's demonstrated potential along with Tait have me rethinking my disagreement with trading away Duran who has proven to be among the very best RP in all of MLB. Perhaps this trade will turn out to be seen as a win for both sides?

    A team that appears will be challenged to produce runs, can not afford a defensive specialist who is an "automatic out". Please say no Twins.
  31. GNess
    The Twins top SP prospects all seem to have performed poorly to date so the Twins are banking on upside and purposeful development. This doesn't fill me with optimism.

    Interesting questions and points of view about what should be the basis for making this decision. At some point. their performance will sort this out. Spring training involves a small sample of real time performance as one of the many data points available. Matthews is struggling with command, if it doesn't improve in the next start or two Abel becomes the likely and best choice to earn a spot in the rotation.

    The sophisticated numbers breakdown may indicate Rodriguez. = Julien. My eyes tell me Rodriguez is significantly better than Julien.

    Byron Buxton is a special talent and the latest in a fairly long line of great Twins' CF. He provides an entertainment factor with his all out style. The players in waiting (or development if you prefer) Rodriguez and Jenkins look ready (Rodriguez) and close (Jenkins). With Buxton in CF (if healthy) there isn't a regular CF role available so it seems prudent to give Rodriguez the opportunity to play LF or RF for now - wonder why is he being sent down.

    What a bunch of double talk, we have a crowded outfield of prospects and decent veterans so let's run our 2B out there to complicate matters even more. Why? So Clemens can play 2B. Yikes.
