    So what? The majority were brought up because the coaches were eighty percent sure they belonged in the Big Show, not to see how good or bad they were.
  2. RpR
    Yep just like those Twins rookies that were so dominant last year,
  3. RpR
    He has 9 career home runs and stolen bases with a .225 batting average, he could be a 4th outfielder.

    Bringing up rookies whose show best years in the BIg Show, show, they are really just minor league, or maybe back-end Bull Pen pitchers during a time when Baseball ,due to greed and politics, is losing spectators and is dangerously close to becoming even more irrelevant on the sport scene, would be foolish. The owners see they are losing spectators and are NOT going to use the Twins as a extension of AAA baseball to see how many of their rookies wash-out ; they want a team that is on it s worst day .500 and can maybe crawl into a a tail-end play-off game. To not do so means they lose a lot more money, and to the Pohlads money is the bottom line, period.

    Happ pitched well for St. Louis, I think a new coach is as important as new pitchers.

    Hmmm, in Rtot/y Rortvedt is 20 runs superior,' if Jeffers is average, most rookie catchers will not leave the minors.

    At trading supposed top rookies for supposed top rookies else where, is like deciding whether to shoot craps with you left or your right hand. Twins need a GOOD left fielder and some pitching, not some crystal ball gazing about rookies who may be above average or pigs in a poke.

    I hate to say it but Arraez IS a good back-up at second, and his numbers in Left Field look not bad at all but then the alternatives a Larnach and Rooker, whose numbers in left stink, not hard to believe they should keep him around , and I have ZERO love for Arraez.
  9. RpR
    Defensively he is lousy, dump him and bring up Rortvedt.

    With the exception possibly of a few teams, till their rookies are called up, there is a BIG difference between the Minor League and the Major League; being a top player there often means little in the Majors. I read an article seven or eight years ago talking of people who were top in the Minors who never got a good shot at the Majors; article said it was to a large degree being on a team owned by a team with no spots to fill. The player may be as good as those called up but there is no full time room for him so they would get called up when some one was hurt but sent back when hurt player was able to play again. They were bounced around while they are still in their prime, but they were always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    New left fielder.

    BRAVO! The Twins season ended for all practical purposed by the end of May last year; starting a bunch of rookies and keeping your fingers crossed they do not stink up the stadium will end Twins season a month earlier this year.

    Arraez is horrible against left-hand pitchers so stop with the pure hitter spiel, but I am surprised he was horrid at 2nd base his first year but this year was pretty good there, while at 3rd he was below average where he once was simply average. If they keep him, keep him as a back-up to Polanco at second. Putting him at third with some mediocre newbie at SS will have opponents salivating with chances to raise their batting average.

    A blow-back from whom, how? The head office cares about attendance dollars, not on-line opinions.

    LOL, his ability put him, Twins do not play in the minor league THAT is where the rookies are supposed to learn or fail. Polanco at SS GOOD GRIEF, he failed miserably there, already. I wish I had the crystal ball so many here are gazing in when it comes to the rookies, maybe I can take it to a casino.

    Twins catching defense has gone from 2nd best in 2007, to 5th to 19th to 11th to 7th in 2011 to 16th to 8th to 19th to 24th in 2015, to 13th to 11th to 19th to 12th to 19th to 19th again this year. Jeffers is a liability not an asset.
  17. RpR
    Arraez is as much like Oliva as Sano is like Molitor.
  18. RpR
    Last season during the early months, the starting pitcher could be pulled leading , tied, or down a few runs; then the Bull Pen pitchers came in and threw the game away. So some want to throw rookies to the wolves so that when the Bull Pen boys come in , how good they are is meaningless, brilliant.
  19. RpR
    I wouldn't mind Happ and Gant.
  20. RpR
    With the exception of a small blip in 2017 and a large blip in 2019 Twins attendance has been steadily dropping since 2010, watching the Twins become an embarrassment with rookie pitchers, boy , that will pack in the fans.
  21. RpR
    All of them are still a crap shoot like Celestino, Larnach and Rooker. Spring training may shed some light of their future.
  22. RpR
    That is why the bats of Celestino, Larnach and Rooker had so much to do with the Twins win-loss record. Two singles and a double are worth more than a home run with bases empty.
  23. RpR
    Should stay in the Minors till they show they will not be embarrassed in the Majors.
  24. RpR
    I hope dearly you are wrong; last thing fans need is a Major League looking like AAA or worse AA team.
  25. RpR
    Seager retired.
