    Batting Average .222, Gallo without the fielding skills.
  2. RpR
    Just checked the batter stats. for this game, Lewisis 0-3 probably because he want to not make the other boys feel like under achievers and Wallner is 0-3 because that is what he does.
  3. RpR
    But, but -- as the chorus goes -- how can he learn to hit them if he does not face them, blah, blah, blah.

    I get it, you are a bit infatuated with rookies in AAA; if they show they belong in the Big Show they will be in the Big Show. Years back , I read an article how some very talented rookies never really make it out of AAA for more than a hit miss; it said if a team has very good gents in AAA they are not going to send them to another team and remove the talent that can be called up if needed, until they have a place for them, until then, some one as good , or better, if already in the Majors wil stay . Next spring, if they are as good as you hope , they can show their stuff and the FO will decide where they end up.

    They have not earned their way up yet; there is no room/need for them; not enough players have been injured.
  6. RpR
    Next spring/year will show what he has.

    It is a new Twins tactic, if you fall down while running, for any reason it confuses the other team and makes you faster.
  8. RpR
    Stevenson is faster than Wallner.
  9. RpR
    Snowballs chance in hell for that.
  10. RpR
    Ask Baldelli .
  11. RpR
    Julien at First Base.
  12. RpR
    Gallo is a better First Base can play any outfield position and is faster on the base paths. People want to dump him simply because they do not like him, or is supposedly "blocking" some wonder boy in AAA.
  13. RpR
    Gallo is here till the end of the season, including post season.
  14. RpR
    A lot of Twins rookies have come up with a hot bat and then fizzeled out when the pitchers knew how to pitch to them. Some time quickly, some times it took awhile.
  15. RpR
    So does Lewis.
  16. RpR
    Wallner is heading for the Mendoza line with far less fielding, inspite of improvement, ability than Kepler. Right now Wallner is becoming a not as good fielding Gallo.
  17. RpR
    Garlick is doing better in AAA than Larnach and would be added before Larnach.
  18. RpR
    I would split a bet - 90/10 - Gallo is here till the season is over. Gallo is a better fileder than Kirilloff, so he had better shine brightly as Baldelli fully plays good fielding when a game is on the line.
  19. RpR
    He will probably end up in the same category as Kyle Garlick and Jake Cave; good enough to be a temp. replacement but spend most of his days in AAA, or maybe join Astudillo in Japan.

    Only to you my friend.😇

    It will be fascinating to see how the current team does in the Post Season, as well how Baldelli juggles the team there. Who is still around, or is added next spring and season is an unknown; I am quite sure some here will be devastated by who is still here, or becomes part of a different org. For now, the up coming games is what matters; the future, que sera, sera.
  24. RpR
    What happened to Garlick?
  25. RpR
    You are correct, other teams now know his batting style, but his fielding is still a Keyston Cops routine. It does not matter if he makes the play, eventually , the extra time it takes him to throw to first, is all some batters need to beat the throw. His throws to first need a large First Baseman to stop them from being a wild throw. In the Post-Season, i hope he is a DH, or replaced during the game when fielding skill counts.
