    Both Wallner and Lewis have (at least 1) minor league option.

    You definitely are 1 of many longtime Twins fans that still have emotional scars 40+ years after "RD experience"-- I still seem to remember, cant remember the year, but I think it was 1984 that RD, with his family in tow, at the home opener with a full house at the Dome getting booed mercilessly by the capacity crowd as he had blown at least a couple of games on a west coast road trip to start the season. That was classic! Who knows how things will turn out with Gomez moving forward. You'd think that possibly the "baseball gods" will throw us fans a bone that he at least can be serviceable.

    Absolutely agree that Lewis should be demoted. His reaction will be a telling sign of his commitment to his teammates and this organization. I don't know the answer to that, but wonder IF this should happen does Lewis have the maturity and professionalism to handle it? His persona...the infamous quote..": I don't do slumps" has sure seemed to boomerang on him. In no way shape or form should management give up on him and grant him his release should he and his agent call for it. He needs to take a step back and show some humility, which I doubt he's ever done. Time to get to work Royce and take responsbility for your words and actions.

    After today's bullpen implosion--Garcia and Banda---getting rocked---is there any reason why further moves aren't coming? Not to say there's much in SP (Brebbia and Drew Smith), but would like to see Rojas recalled tomorrow with Garcia and Banda getting released.
  25. darwin22
    Agree with your position to a large extent. Only exception would be Lewis as ownership is too stubborn to admit Lewis has regressed and mistakenly believe a Lewis demotion would hurt attendance. Outman be DFA'ed immediately when Fedko getting a promotion as his RH bat could help and he does offer position versatility at 1B and in OF. Wallner: What do you say? Not ready to give up on him, but his future a starting RF and LH bat is on very thin ice. He does have an option left. No reason to cite stats as he's done NOTHING! Resulting move: Promote E-Rod today!! After 2 bombs last night, his bat is MLB ready. Lets get him up here as our new starting RF.

    A few thoughts after anemic loss: 1. Spring Training results don't mean squat. Case in point: The performance of Mick Abel I realize only a small same size, but his two outings indicate to me a reset in AAA is around the corner. Like his stuff, but his command is mediocre along with his inability to put hitters away with 2 strikes. Saying that, Abel should get another few starts to turn things around as Zebby Matthews outing tonight (3 HRs allowed---one of which to the immortal Mickey Gasper) for SP was putrid. 2. Caratini has severe limitations in his ability to control another teams running game. His bat, like far too many others, is as cold as the weather in Minneapolis today. 3. Is there ANY OTHER MLB team that is challenged against LH pitchers as this group? Pathetic! 3 hits on the day. Brutal. 4. When will management admit that trading for and keeping Outman on this team is a joke? Sure would like to see Outman DFA'ed with Roden promoted.
  27. darwin22
    Can it get worse than this? Simple answer: YES Even with W today---this team on pace for 54 wins......which will necessitate Ryan, Jeffers and possibly Buxton being traded before the trade deadline.

    Very good analysis Cody of the continued ineptitude of this front office. Plain and simple, Rodon earned the right to make this roster and you could make a very strong argument he should be the starting LF in Baltimore on Opening Day. Instead we're stuck with Outman for at least the next few weeks. This organization appears intent on finishing in LAST place. It sure seems today like light years since we won a playoff series in October of 2023.

    This might have been a "typo error," but to state Tait is the "most likely of top TD prospects to never register an MLB plate appearance," is either completely foolish or clearly misinformed. A consensus top 100 prospect at age 19 is, imo, on a clear path either in this organization or another to have a productive MLB career.

    After today's utterly AWFUL performance (31 pitches--4 walks) against the JV lineup against the Yankees, its hard for me to believe Raya is even a top 30 prospect in this organization. Pathetic. I know only 1 ST outing, but after he got rocked in SP last year, I can't believe he's ANYWHERE close to pitching in the bullpen for the Twins.
  31. darwin22
    In August while Wichita was playing Springfield, I witnessed EXACTLY the outing you described. Prielipp was untouchable over 3 innings with consistent 97mph heat along with good secondary pitches. Got to 4th inning and though his fastball remained consistent (in mid 90s) his pitch count started to climb as he lost command. With his injury history and advancing age, IMHO his future is in the Twins bullpen.

    I also got 3 words for Joe Pohlad: Attitude reflects leadership.
  33. darwin22
    Absolutely agree. His versatility, imo, outweighs his age. Interesting (to me) a friend of my son's played college ball (Creighton) with Fitzgerald and commented how his work ethic, grit and leadership were an inspiration to the younger players. Great to see Fitzgerald contribute since his promotion and hope he gets a legit chance to make the active roster next season.
  34. darwin22
    Agreed. An absolute joke Davis is being recalled. Has been brutal as has Cabrera. Both should've been dfa'ed weeks ago. Fedko deserves a promotion--plain and simple. Saying that, Falvey and company have zero accountability. Just the puppets of the miserly Pohlad family.
  35. darwin22
    I could use several other "choice words" beyond those that you expressed, but I would likely get banned for life. Can ANYONE tell me why Mick Abel wasn't called up to pitch today instead of that rag arm Urena? Abel was on 4 days rest and has been fantastic with the Saints since getting traded. What value does Urena offer for the future? Answer: NOTHING!! Diehard fan for over 50 years that is VERY CLOSE to checking out on this pathetic organization.
