    I still have questions about the handling of Buxton. 1) Is this what the Twins can expect for the balance of Buxton’s contract? 2) How much is the ongoing injury effecting Buxton’s current performance? 3) How long on the IL would it take for Buxton to “get right”,
  2. stringer bell
    I’m sure it would have to be medically verified.

    Sanó’s rehab is over on 7/24 at the latest. At that point, he’s either activated or designated for assignment unless he voluntarily would accept an option (very unlikely).

    My wife and I drove from SE Minnesota to the Fort Snelling Park and Ride. We arrived shortly after 11. We found seats on the train and arrived at Target Field shortly before noon. We got to our seats for the third batter. There were plenty of people in Brewers gear on the light rail. Concession lines were long and slow, Despite the announced attendance, we thought the park was about 3/4 full. I think the light rail is a great deal for singles or couples.

    Also remember that optional assignments must be 15 days unless there is an injury.

    For the record, the Twins are 15-11 versus the AL East, this year with a losing record against only one of the five clubs.

    Miranda, like almost every hitter, is a better hitter ahead in the count. He still chases too much to suit me, but he has improved. Same for his defense. Kirilloff is going to be a fine hitter and I think his eventual defensive home is first base. Larnach looked very good until he was injured the first time. I am not yet convinced he will develop into a star.

    I don’t think the return for Urshela would be much. Frankly, I think he has more value to the Twins than just about any other team. Going forward, I think there is a decent chance that he won’t be tendered a contract for 2023, but I expect he stays on the Twins through this year.

    Probably someone will go on the Injured List. Beyond that, Megill and Moran have options, Cotton has been DFAed twice and who knows, maybe the Twins will have decided to pull the plug on Pagán by Sunday.

    There was a recent thread about Jeffers' offense. He's middle of the road for catchers and at least in the past couple of weeks he is trending upwards. For the future, I would hope that the Twins could find someone with whom they can share the catching duties (with Jeffers), preferably a LH hitter who is pretty strong defensively. I don't think I would like to keep Sanchez around for the kind of money he is already making.
  11. stringer bell
    Not true IMHO. Jeffers hit two homers in Texas, one brought the team within a run, the other gave them the lead. He also hit a key homer in Baltimore and another one in Seattle. That is four of his seven homers. There's plenty to gripe about with his average, but he has hit more than his share of important long balls.
  12. stringer bell
    Well they only sent up three hitters. ???
  13. stringer bell
    Good inning Jax!
  14. stringer bell
    From my view,, it was about 50-50 for Correa to score. With two outs, he should have been sent. With one, probably best to hold him.
  15. stringer bell
    Seems like a quick hook.
  16. stringer bell
    I would say you’re filtering what you see. The Twins aren’t a great team this year, but they are not the ‘62 Mets.
  17. stringer bell
    My view from Section 219.
  18. stringer bell
    Megill has an impressive fastball, but I think he needs a better second pitch.
  19. stringer bell
    I would add that he could be optioned with his consent, but I think it is unlikely he would consent.
  20. stringer bell
    Two two-run jobs. There weren't many base runners for Winder, but the ones who got on scored.
  21. stringer bell
    Oopsie!
  22. stringer bell
    So, it is about character not talent? I disagree totally.
  23. stringer bell
    Kind of a cheap run, but he walked the guy who set it up.
  24. stringer bell
    He's a major league veteran who can't be optioned. There is a maximum of 20 days in his rehab. Not the same as Kirilloff.
  25. stringer bell
    Why do they shift AK?
