    Only the Twins coaches can answer that.

    If, if, if....

    Kepler is a well above average fielder; Wallner is a below average fielder, simple as that. Hitting well in the minors is not the yellow brick road to the majors.
  4. RpR
    LOL, Twins want to win, not be the team with the worst fielding numbers.
  5. RpR
    If Wallner was good enough for the majors he would be up; he may earn his way up, or he may not.
  6. RpR
    Wishful thinking that the Twins rookies/quasi-rookies have shown to be just that. Miranda and Wallner are a couple of Lurches in fielding skills, while none of the gents up from AAA have shown to be more than at best barely average fielders. Solano, Taylor and Castro have been far more important than any from Twins AAA.

    If Billy Martin were manager, and the Twins played like this, you would probably see a lot of players with black-eyes.😬

    If Arraez was still here, his average may still be the same but the large number of RBI he has now would not exist as some one has to be on base to get those. So losing him has zip to do with the Twins failures, plus his fielding would make the situation worse.

    Title of this thread should be why I hate Kepler.

    There was an article on MSN sport about the worst Short Stops ever, Polanco was among them; not hard to beat.

    Nelson Cruz with only 40 at bats is hitting .237 with 5 home runs and 18 rbi.

    Some here moaned when the Twins let Badoo go, Cave played more game than Kirilloff has, Hicks was in the same boat as Kirilloff when he was dumped, no difference.
  13. RpR
    Batting .136 against Lefties , yes; unless he can go back to AAA and eliminate that problem, do not bat him against lefties. Garlick batted .224 against right hand and .243 against left hand last year and he is at AAA. so what makes Kirilloff special. Although I do believe a revolving door system does more harm than good for those in the Twins org.
  14. RpR
    Just like Hicks, Cave and Badoo -- been there done that, does not work. Paying fans in the stands would rather see failing vets, than failing rookies.

    "Twins Win as Tigers Offense Reverts to Form" Twins only had 3 hits, also so it is more like Twins win while Tigers try to imitate Twins minus excess strike outs.
  16. RpR
    Trade him, unless he cam become as limber as Jeffers.
  17. RpR
    Lurch Wallner would be SO much better in right field. 🙄
  18. RpR
    Yeah, Keppler is striking out 10 times a game while every one else is batting .300 😏
  19. RpR
    Being forced to play Designated Hitter, or Designated Strike Out, YES
  20. RpR
    Where did I say I did not like Polanco. Kirilloff has not shown he is any better than those here now, so all the -- I cannot wait till x, y or h comes up is wishful thinking is just wishing with out reason. I very much hope when Polanco comes back he is pretty much what he was before, but I do not believe in wishful thinking miracles as is broadcast here often.

    The poor throw to Solano and Solano coming off the bag lost the game. You could see Baldelli knew that , and was very upset with that turn of events but as there were other failings last night he was not going to say it.
  22. RpR
    With 3 strike outs and a walk last night, Polanco would fit right in the the current Twins team.
  23. RpR
    This is not the time for the Twins to be the equivalent of AAA for rookies from St. Paul. If Gordon was not in a massive slump, Julien would not be here, but it is better to let Castro figure his problem out rather than bring Julien up to fail. As nice as his first hit and home run were against NY, probably bad because of the let-down that followed, that has to play with one's mind. I do wonder how many rookies come up, do very well, but then sink with each passing year , like Jake Cave; compared to how many come up, perform sub-average but get better with each passin year.

    Why Buxton is D.H. and not Jeffers, is odd to me. Right now Jeffers is hitting, and slimmed down while getting around bases quicker. Garlick is in left field; his numbers against R.H. pitchers last year is not that bad, 3 home runs, but I read a game report from last year where he did well against a right hand pitcher. He said he sees them so seldom, it feels odd, and he is not sure how adjust his batting. This day last year we beat Boston 8 to 3, one of the Twins better series.

    Turn out like Julien? Assuming you're not trolling, how do you mean? -- Assuming you are not trolling -- B.A. .118, fielding skills lacking. You figure it out. Aaron Hicks had 4 straight really good seasons with the Yanks, and now injuries are getting him. Even Rooker is raking in Oakland right now. -- HIcks had two good years where his B.A. was more than 35 points above the Mendoza line, his fielding numbers on average are no better than Garlick's. Rooker's fielding numbers are like Sano at third base. Well then I guess the Twins should have never let them go, they would have made the team so much better. I did not say they would fail , I said that the title saying they would be a success was wishful thinking without proof. The articles headline say they would be some great success -- wishful thinking; that they might be OK, better than average, possible , not a guarantee.
