    The old saying: You pays your money and takes your chances, does not translate well to baseball.

    LOL, 👎Cleveland would love to see that happen.

    If Larnach has foot problems, put on IL and let Kiersey Jr. play a few games in Left and DH to see if he can handle Big League pitching, then after Larnach's foot heals send him down.

    Miranda can be blamed for the loss just as much as Vazquez without exception, but Vazquez made a rookie mistake not looking at the ball until it was in his hand.

    Yeah right, in your mind. If that silliness is true then the Twins lost a lot of games because Correa was off kilter last year; because Jeffers has huge slumps; because Wallner is a strike out king only slightly behind Julien and oh yes a certain formerly loved Twins rookie made a very, very bad error at Frst in the Post Season which is one reason Santana is here etc., etc., etc.. Good defensive keeps runners off bases; runners not on bases cannot score.

    Santana had to learn to play bounce catch with Lewis' throwing arm; his fielding percentae is .917 but his Minor League numbers show he was never a good fielder. His bat and his attiude, will keep him in the game, proably for a long , long time. Talent evaluators crystal balls mean little in the real world. Lee's numbes show he is below average fielder like Lewis but the gamble is he can hit Major League pitchers as well as he did in the Minors; Lee' career fielding numbers show him to be a lessor fielder than Juline who was never a good fielder in the minors; Juliens Pro fielding error numbers are pretty good but him making sure he does not screw-up may be one reason he is slower at turning plays. As others have written here, many Minor League stars never shine in the Bigs.

    They do it if they have to, no because they want to. They put Blankenhorn at 2nd and Arraez at 3rd and lost a game because of it. There is zero reason for them to put Lee at Second and probably have him show he should not have been put there. Farmer is going nowhere but to Second Base; why he is having hitting trouble is a concern but he is still the best fiedling 2nd Baseman on the team; his number show he was not a good SS, good at 3rd and very good at 2nd.

    And they all were lousy afer being put there. The reason Polanco played a career total of 20 games at 3rd and when they put Arraez at 3rd, he literally threw a game away. If it were not for his bat, Lewis would not be at 3rd , he is well below average there, and with his weak arm there is no where else he could play. Twins are in contention, they cannot afford games lost by closing their eyes and praying a player will not stink up the field or lose a game for them playing where he has never played before. This is not injury replacement emergency, at least not yet. They are not going to play stupid what-if games to do so would be asinine. Twins have had too many pee-poor fielders recently and are not going to stick Lee where he does not belong no matter how much gents here want them to.

    What? He is the oppositeof Ozzie Smith? Genius with a bat but cannot field worth a lick.
  11. RpR
    Lee is not a good fielder at SS or 3rd where he has played all but a whopping 2 games in his Minors career. Twins already have bat first/only players at 3rd and are not going to put Lee at 2nd which would make the Twins infield have gaping holes except at 1st and SS.
  12. RpR
    Wait till the end of the season before getting manic about Lewis.
  13. RpR
    I would say , if the Twins make the Post Season.
  14. RpR
    Why do you want a gaping hole in the defense at second?
  15. RpR
    Farmer is desperate as shown by that swing, although it seems he has to swing at crap or gets a strike.
  16. RpR
    Do not complain about the ump, Buxton should have had a K rather than a home run.
  17. RpR
    Not that it matters unless the Twins fall apart; Margo has 2 rbi, I think he should take Farmer aside and give him a few batting tips.
  18. RpR
    I think Buxton could run around the entire diamnond in the time it takes a couple of other Twins to reach 2nd Base.
  19. RpR
    "Improve out lineup immediately" -- LOL 😄 Unless MiLB like to tell lies, he has played a whole 2 games, WOW, at 2nd Base, the rest at Short Stop so as I said, it is the -- "play him at ___ because we said so." - mean while he is mediocre at the spots he does play, 3rd Base and Short Stop.
  20. RpR
    He had a fantasic run before opposing pitchers started to find how to pitch to him; he will figure out how to out-figure them.
  21. RpR
    Yep they are 1,000 percent than cast Lee to the wolves by seeing how bad he is at 2nd. Lee is not a good fielder any where.
  22. RpR
    My oh my, this is in the vein of "Play Lewis in the outfield, because we say so." Lee is not going to Second Base, period; if there is an injury need for a 2nd Baseman, it will be Kemp, or maybe Helman, not Lee. Kemp and Helman would be this years versions of Stevenson or Luplow. Twins are trying to win, this year, not next; they are not an advanced American Legion Baseball team.
  23. RpR
    No. Read the whole post I responded to.
  24. RpR
    And we can then challenge Chicago for the bottom spot.
  25. RpR
    Joey Wallner is probably worth looking at again next year; Kirilloff, probably gone, tough career breaks ; Julien, bye-bye Ed. I would not be surprised if Santana is back next year, they need a 1st baseman who is above average.
