  1. Kepler has 13 errors in right field in 8 major league seasons. Wallner has 22 errors in right field in 3 minor league seasons.
  2. I would agree with you except back when they hit home runs, the same complaint was aired often so they quit hitting home runs....
  3. In seasons in which he pitched in more than one game, only one year was his ERA below SIX, why is he here?
  4. Some thing is totally out of whack, behind by six or seven runs they can hit and score runs, though not enough to win; down by one run when they bat, hitting is some thing the other guy does only the other guy does not.
  5. I do not have a crystal ball so I do not engage in , if only a, q or s , were playing it would be better, wishful thinking is all that would be. Ranking means squat, or there would be a lot more rookies who are wonder boys.
  6. AT best wishful thinking as no one has any idea how thr rookies would have performed .
  7. What was the HR percentage before the Al Star Game vs after, it was after that the Twins loss rate increased.
  8. To me, they have been losing games that they should have won through incompetent play this year, not being out hit, though late season lack of home runs is a hemorrhoid.
  9. Hmmm, most likely Wallner would be another Palacios and the Twins cannot afford to be a AAA learning team at this point. Cave had a bad game but the best arm of any who play the field, Garlick got a hit when it counted,; to think some rookie is going to come up and be magic is a plug nickel.
  10. That would be a defense drop, from either Sanchez or Leon.
  11. Lack of said same has cost them a LOT of games; they really had nothing to replace it. A lot of runners on base left standing there with no where to go.
  12. Strong accurate arm is part of what separates an above average SS from run of the mill.
  13. This is the one reason that exposes there is some thing wrong, ever since TK left. with the way the team is managed. I could see all year long that other teams were defeating, including shut-outs of the best teams in the league and the Twins, often, would pee games away in the last three innings, while their offense shut down after the first five.
  14. Not opinion, his numbers show it; unlike Jeffers , he is not a run-at-will catcher.
  15. Sanchez is a very good catcher; they gave away the equivalent of penny stocks, Palacios proves that. The fact the hitting is pathetic 4 out of 5 games is the the only thing that is really the only true bad developement. Five runs beat the Twins and often Three will do it.
  16. His defense is the best it has ever been, but his bat has hit the Simmons like valley. Odd how players with good bats come to Minn. and slump, often.
  17. Sanchez and Leon are both better behind the plate than Jeffers; Jeffers bat is similar to Sanchez. Twins need catcher defense so they should let Jeffer out until next year and he can then show if he has gotten any better against any one/s else the Twin Org. want a look-see with.
  18. There is some thing very, very, very wrong with the people who run this club, the players are psychologically broken, which shows in every game, few runs, no base stealing, huge number of errors, former best batter in the league is fading away, you could see on Garlicks face his tension before the pitcher even threw a pitch, former bomba squad has a hard time hitting singles....
  19. I am a fan of Garlick but I prefer Kepler's glove in Right Field; there has to be some thing truly wrong with him with his drop in batting, but then Donaldson had a similar drop for the Yankees.?
  20. Sanchez is better than Jeffer was, on defense, similar with a bat. Celestino's bat has been on a steady downhill trend.
  21. If he returns to his 2018 level, he is.
  22. If you prevent runs, you do not need as many to win, trying to over come failed defense with more runs is a losing proposition. As Bud Grand said in 1969, offense draws crowds, defense wins games.
  23. He is a better outfielder than any of the replacements now being used, with speed, he and Kepler together would make hits to Center and Left payoff far less. With Twins current pitching, outfield defense is a HIGH priority.
  24. If he can keep Gordon out of Center Field, start him., with that arm , see how he does in Left Field.
  25. The Yankees are not in the same level of play as Houston or Los Angeles Dodgers right now, they can and have been beaten by teams tech. lessor than the Twins, BUT, Baldelli has get his players over the psychological pit they have been in against the Yankeed since the days of Gardenhire.
