    Twins platooning did look like a knee-jerk reaction. Should that be changed , YES.

    Double plays from Second base HAVE to be boom-boom quick; failure to do that is why Julien stank there. Lewis is slow and awkward at 3rd base , where he rarely had to make an out there before thowing the ball, he, probably, would be no better at Second than Julien who is horrible. Lewis was much worse at 3rd last year than before, maybe DH is where he will flourish.
  3. RpR
    If Lewis is not good at 3rd by what abnormal reasoning do you think he will not stink worse at 2nd.

    MLB is not where you develope players, it is where you separate the wheat from the chaff.

    Then leave them in AAA till they are ready, do not waste time being another American Legion team for youngsters. If they fail, move on, or send them back as many times as necessary. There are many players who excell except in MLB, the Twins seem to find them.

    True but , it seems, right now, Twins rookies do a belly-flop more frequently than other teams.
  7. RpR
    They have not forgotten how they stunk for the first month. A level they exceeded in misery in the last month.
  8. RpR
    They often do, but they seem to be, here today, gone tomorrow.

    That seems to have been said about darn near every rookie who finally crapped out, or was let go and replaced by another boy wonder rookie. 🤤

    We, all here, have no idea what the Twins Org. actually will or will not do, pessimism rules right now.

    They need veterans to assist/replace barely mediocre rookies. This is Wallner's season to show his is not another Jake Cave, and Lewis' season to show his earlier performance was simply Major League pitchers not adjusting to him as they did in the end of last season. Probably same for Miranda and Larnach.

    Wishful thinking, based on if, if, if and nothing more.

    With Farmer gone, Martin is the only player they have that would not be an embarrassment at 2nd Base. Martin at 2nd and Lee at 3rd should/might close 2 gaping holes in the infield.

    That was said about the Tigers last year.

    Just DFA Julien, some where else.

    You meant Umbesetting: Umbeset is an archaic or dialectal verb that means to ostruct, block, or act detrimentally toward someone or something. It is primarily used in Scotland.
  17. RpR
    No!
  18. RpR
    Tou mean they are as good as the ones they might replace, so no one is forcing or blocking any thing.

    With all this moaning and groaning, what shows up next Spring Training should liven up this place greatly.

    History abstract: References to pitch framing: References to pitch framing date back to at least the 1950s. Brewers instruction manual: In 1982, the Brewers prepared an organizational instruction manual that advised catchers to catch possible strikes with "a minimum of body movement" and "very smooth hand action". Sabermetricians: Historically, sabermetricians were generally dubious about the existence and impact of pitch framing Pitch framing in the popular press: There has been an explosion of interest in pitch framing in the popular press, especially in the last few years.

    Vazquez had 4 errors, 2 double plays and 1 passed ball; Jeffers had 6 errors, 0 double plays and 3 passed balls. Defense counts At that, they both collapsed with the rest of the team, but Vazquez had a .245 BA in the last 30 games whereas Jeffers had a .227. Que sera, sera.
  22. RpR
    Vazquez holds runners; they run at will on Jeffers. Jeffers and Vazquez below, Vazquez did drop from last year, still much better than Jeffers, try again.
  23. RpR
    There is no amount of offense that can make up for Jeffers , run at will, defense.

    I would put Julien as not leaving AAA, and Lee coming up late if at all. Now players have roller-coaster careers, even if he later years is is a kiddie roller-coaster, but the WHOLE team last year at the end just collapsed, almost as if there were a jinx. Now when I was young the talk was: I wonder how well player x will do, or I Hope player x, y or z has a real good year. There was not beer farting about : OH ----- is getting old; these veterans are blocking young crapshoots.... What will be, will be and there is nothing any one here can do about it , except maybe prepare their May Whine.

    The Vikings might want to consider giving a phone call to the kicker they let go.
