  1. Wallner adjusted to Major League pitching last year to his big advantage; hope the pitchers do not adjust to the Twins the way they did to Julien.
  2. Watch them lose the series to Chicago this year. 🤥
  3. NOT a great catch, Poor field awarness. He came close to possibly hurting another player who had an easier catch than Lurch charging. Wallner has had a LOT of close calls with other players in the field during his short time up so far.
  4. So what it is right there: Minus 5, Minus 5 he was lousy in center field. If you are saying Kepler should still be here, I AGREE.
  5. So what, Wallner is NOT a good Right Fielder., as of now he has had 138 chances in Right Field with 3 errors. I spoke of Right Field as that is what the GREAT majority here think he will play , plus, that is where Kepler played. At that , Wallner was FAR better in left field, and for histories sake, Kepler was not in Center Field as he was horrible there.
  6. Wallner is 27 his fielding in the minors last year, and the year befor was bad; he is not going to get better in the majors.
  7. Wallner is SLOW to get going and then turns a simple catch into a so called spectacular catch as he is slow to get to the ball. His throwing accuracy is shotgun level, some hit the target a lot do not. Keplers bat is not his strongest point but in little things he outdid Wallner Sacrifice Flies - in the past three years Kepler had 11, Wallner had 1; Total bases last year, Kepler 140, Wallner 115. Now Home runs, Wallner had 13 and Max only had 8 but as i said, Kepler will be missed greatly in the outfield and assuming Wallner is the full time Right Fielder, his weaknesses will show quickly.
  8. Better than here comes the ball-there goes the ball Wallner. In ten years Keplers fielding average in Right Field is .993 - Wallner in 3 years is .978, they will miss Kepler greatly. I do believe, Kepler wanted out of Minn.
  9. If Lurch Wallner is the right fielder, he will be missed a lot.
  10. Reno Aces' Kyle Garlick aims for a return to the big leagues for sixth straight season https://nevadasportsnet.com/news/reporters/reno-aces-kyle-garlick-aims-for-a-return-to-the-big-leagues-for-sixth-straight-season They have played him at first base; now a free agent.
  11. You prefer shooting craps on a wishful thinking gamble.
  12. Better team won.
  13. Right now the Twins have no future; rookies/prospects are fire-crackers that fizzle. Good vets, in the past, melded with current team players that were not abysmal. Now the vets are gone and the only good players left are Buxton and Correa; Larnach, Miranda and Wallner are keep your fingers crossed player with lead gloves. There are two new older rookies who may be a surprise, but as of now the Twins are last years White Sox.
  14. Cleveland, Chicago , Kansas City and Detroit are probalby hoping the Twins do that. Looks like another glass of Gallo wine next summer.
  15. Injuries is an excuse it was just plain pee-poor play that made the team collapse; sadly not a rare thing with the Twins over the years. Twins stunk when the season started and stunk when the season ended.
  16. They should give Julien an dose of Sano medicine, send down to A ball.
  17. Julien should follow the path of Garlick , play some where else or as he is now stay in AAA. He never looked like more than an average player, at best, with holes in his glove. Miranda , like Wallner , I would bet, will be here for quite some time.
  18. Would be better than it is as of now. Reality bites. Farmer and Castro at 2nd. They now have no one at second base who is not a liability, they Will miss Farmer.
  19. Spring training will tell which old or newbie Twins May be a positive element. So far, AAA newbies have been worse than retreads.
  20. Martin, Lewis, Kirilloff, Julien, Jeffers and Castro were the only players with Defense Rtot and Rdrs being solid in the minus column, with Castro being worst and Castro's numbers making Margot look like a All Star Fielder. That was a problem larger than the one you were annoyed by. Lee was actuall good at 3rd base and Miranda was much better than Lewis.
