    Trading Buxton would be a big mistake unless the return is substantial to say the least.

    Right now the Twins are exceeding my expectations for sure. Gritty win tonight.

    Is there a real marker teams can use to gauge "readiness" for the bigs other than competing in MLB.. MLB is hard and each player naturally reacts differently and each should be assessed individually.. The failure rate is high, but that doesn't mean patience, delay and fear of failure should guide the process.

    Zebby has shown signs multiple times of being an effective MLB SP. If he can just produce good outings more regularly he becomes a solid asset to the Twin
  25. GNess
    I understand it is not an advanced metric, but it matters: Twins are 1-7 when SWR starts a game. (17-17 in other games.)
  26. GNess
    They might, but they probably don't.
  27. GNess
    Make it stop. This is getting ridiculous.

    Lewis surely has been impacted by his injuries, but his level of production is woeful. I see him off balance and flailing at the plate consistently. His confidence seems to have fallen off. (Understandably) Not sure if he can regain anywhere near his form of a few seasons ago, but is it still worth giving him a bit more time to do so? His trajectory once was almost superstar level - few players reach that level even for a half a season or so. A genuinely productive Lewis could be huge for this team and organization. Tough situation and decision.

    The Twins at present do not "need" SWR in the rotation given his performance. No team would need such negative results. Moving SWR to the BP is hardly needed by a struggling group, but if he took a mop up role and hopefully could use that experience to get on track while returning to the rotation - that might fill a need for the Twins.
  30. GNess
    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.)
  31. GNess
    An erratic bullpen, shaky defense and struggles with producing with runners on base are all morale killers. I am most concerned about the bullpen.
  32. GNess
    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.
  33. GNess
    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.
  34. GNess
    He is an adventure, I like it. At least he's not just playing it save afraid to make a mistake.
  35. GNess
    He'll be fun to follow, but unless something unusual occurs he has a long time to before impacting the Twins/
