  1. Seeing Clemes play CF is not encouraging, and Bell at 1st base. Weakens defense at both spots. Would much rather have Clemens at 1st and Bell on the bench with Kriedler in CF. Bell at 1st cost the Twins an extra run yestetday.
  2. Have there been any recent updates on Mick Abel or David Festa and possible starting rehab assignments? I would think by June if Festa isn't showing any improvement on the T outlet syndrome it may be time to 60 day IL a player like Festa and make use of his 40 man spot.
  3. So the hitters inability to score runs or play average defense has nothing to do with pitching? I would argue the starting pitching has been adequate as has the bullpen at times. Twins poor defense, errors and lack clutch hitting is contributing as much to effects on pitching on losses as anything else.. The catching and receiving especially has an effect on starting pitching. You are right though, that has nothing to do with SWR pitching poorly out of the rotation. Maybe they will get a lottery ticket in the DFA exchange. Not sure why team is only carrying 38 on 40 man roster.
  4. I bet the A's or Blue Jays claim him.
  5. DFA'ing a 25 year old pitcher with potential, while keeping 4AAA players like Outman MLB strike out king, two catchers who cannot hit a lick in Caratini and Jackson, hanging onto MLB roster a second basemen in Keaschall who makes unforced, unfocused errors on defense. Starting 3 players who are utility players at best and Old by MLB standards in Kriedler, Gray, and Arcia. Twins franchise is a giant S show being run by a fraternity of front office and managerial staff that have proven to be non-comtenders or winners. Twins are the used bubble gum franchise being chewed again of MLB Drafts and trades have been huge busts for 7 years. Twins are still stuck with Pohlads as owners. Not a lot of fun in Twinsville. Hope they can turn it around. Good luck to SWR, hope your next team and you get it figured out.
  6. I don't like it. SWR only 25 years old. This might end up being a mistake. We are carrying two catchers that cannot hit, a second basemen that keeps making errors in Keaschall. If you are going to hold SWR "accountable" why not Luke Keaschall? Carrying a 4th outfielder in Outman that should have been DFA already. This team is owned by pathetic owners that are not investing in success of the franchise, Pohlads are as bad as Glen Taylor was for so long.
  7. Anyone hear if Rojas has to go on IL? I see the answer was just update 2 minutes ago in below link, so answer is yes.
  8. Hope, Lewis has figured some stuff out, not striking out as much. Twins still need help at SS, one of the corner outfielders spots or back up CF. Clemens not an outfielder, only 2nd or 1st base.
  9. Agreed, Twins need to move on from Alex Jackson, not helping the pitching staff or at the plate.
  10. Is Eduardo Tate playing well enough at Cedar Rapids to earn a promotion to Whichita Wind Surge. Is Cardenas the catcher for the Saints a MLB call up candidate. I mean we are getting almost nothing from Caratini or Alex Jackson at the plate on MLB roster, both are Mendoza line hitters with a lot of strike outs. . Not good having almost automatic outs at catcher every day. Is Trevor Larnach a trade candidate to a possible promotion path for some of the Saints outfielders like Walker Jenkins. Jenkins cannot seem to stay healthy.
  11. He is better Lewis than at least 3 to 4 current MLB rostered players for the Twins. I don't Lewis everybody's favorite or Flashpoint player for vitriol. He is too talented to give up on. He may be a change of scenery candidate though. Doesn't look like the MLB staff sees a future for him with Twins with poor on base percentage or batting average. Not gonna lie or sugar coat that Lewis has been strike out prone, lacks contact, and he has left a lot of base runners on the last two seasons. He has been a lot like what Buxton was hus first five seasons, injury prone and inconsistent at the plate. I would play him at SS, see if that makes him a trade candidate.
  12. This is bad a line-up just about one of the worst line-ups the Twins can produce.
  13. There is opportunity at a short stop, outfield or 1st base. Lewis would increase his value to any team by being able to play multiple positions.
  14. Yes, he is too much of an offensive liability at the plate. I like his defense but Outman hurts Twins at the plate.
  15. He is worse than Joey Gallo. Anything on defense or running is nullified by Outman's terrible hitting approach. Golden Sombrero.
  16. Maybe Clemens or Arcia need to start playong some second base instead of Keaschall.
  17. Would be nice to see Culpeppet get his feet wet, try some third base, SS or 2nd base.
  18. At some point you need to find out if they are major league capable Ross or Culpepper. I'm not saying there ready, I'm sure Zoll and field staff know better than I. Just Arcia, Gray, Keiedler all seem at the same level, platoon guys. At least the bullpen seems to be improving.
  19. This team needs more speed on the basepaths. I don't know why we are carrying Arcia, Gray, Kriedler, all three of them are utility guys. Would have rather seen Ross or Culpepper get these opportunity's. Outman is fast but nothing else, not a good arm or hitter. Four older guys not really worth it to carry that many bench guys. At some point Ross or Culpepper will play there way on to team.
  20. Winning better than blowing a 8th inning lead and losing line so many times this season.
  21. Can we DFA Topa already the worst pitcher in the pen.
