    An erratic bullpen, shaky defense and struggles with producing with runners on base are all morale killers. I am most concerned about the bullpen.
  2. 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.

    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.
  5. GNess
    He'll be fun to follow, but unless something unusual occurs he has a long time to before impacting the Twins/
  6. GNess
    Do you think there will be another trade deadline sell off to talk about?
  7. GNess
    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?
  9. GNess
    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.
  10. 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.
  11. GNess
    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.
  12. GNess
    The sophisticated numbers breakdown may indicate Rodriguez. = Julien. My eyes tell me Rodriguez is significantly better than Julien.
  13. GNess
    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.
  15. GNess
    Joe Garagiola used to say when you shake a baseball tree ten gloves fall out and for every one bat. Such old school wisdom here applies - this 21 year old player can rake. The Twins need to find a way to get him in the lineup soon.
  16. GNess
    If it is a situation where it's Bradley, Matthews and Abel for two spots there are some consistent traits amongst this trio that make this a tough call. They all have serious stuff/upside, but yet have struggled at the MLB level to produce. They are all at an age when players generally need to break through somewhat. So it's maybe recency bias but I put Abel at the top of the. three and it's a coin flip between Bradley and Matthews.
  17. GNess
    Give Keaschall a real chance to stick at 2B rather than trying to move him to the OF. Why would his lack of arm strength be less of a detriment at 2B? Yet, Lee is being considered being moved to 2B in part because of his lack of arm strength. Additionally, the OF appears to have some prospects who could be very good. Lee needs to improve and prove himself prior to making shifts in positions to facilitate him.
  18. GNess
    What's not to like about Gonzalez?
  19. GNess
    The strikeouts are a real issue, but if he can diminish those to a reasonable % he has some big time traits/tools and could be a very good player. I like that the three OF prospects are envisioning a successful future together at the MLB level. The Twins need all the positive energy they can get.
  20. GNess
    I am not sure the Twins should trade Ryan right now. I am sure the motivation for the trade should not be fear of injury! Injuries happen and they force adjustments, but teams simply can't function fearing them.
  21. GNess
    The Twins have to consider creative methods such as this to. build a strong roster given that they don't seriously participate in free agency and their record in developing young talent is average at best.
  22. GNess
    Since there is zero chance trading Larnach for a SP even remotely close to Lopez its time to surrender the pipe dream of being a serious contender. If Larnach can fetch an upside arm or an under the radar. SS prospect he should be dealt. Otherwise just keep him and hope what the Twins have apparently seen in him manifests itself prior to the all star break and revisit dealing him then.
  23. GNess
    Pablo is not only the Twins' best SP, he was a crucial leader for this young collection of players. USAFChief said it best, brutal.
  24. GNess
    You only get one chance to make a first impression.
  25. GNess
    Banda provides a RP withe significant experience at the MLB level including postseason. This type of addition was much needed to help stabilize the BP. Should prove to be a good move.
