All the - bring the rookies up - is not based on how good or not good players are, here.
It is based - I want this guy, not that guy.
I thought Keaschall might be the best rookie since Buxton; I now have rethought that but can see how some here get ideas in their heads , without any thing but their opinion to go by. He does not have Julien's iron glove and so far he is a 2nd base version of Lee at Short Stop; not terrible but still lacking the range and quickness such spot require..
I will admit I had zero fond views of Wallner and Julien from the get go as they had iron gloves from the get go; Lewis never showed he was more than an average at best rookie, BUT, he had the misfortune of hitting a cluster of bases loaded home runs before the veteran pitchers figured out his style and shut him down. Larnach has shown this year he can and probably should be a long term player for the Twins ( he was not a favorite of mine either) but he has listened , adapted and is now doing well, but , so many here want him gone so their favorite rooky can play.
I read Baseball Reference stats. for defense also; and no one at this point looks like they will better, for a team where defense has been between poor and just plain bad far too long.
Their offense numbers are based on AAA pitching which unless they are facing a rehab veteran, AAA are not what they were 20 years ago for ability, while many on defense by numbers are less than what the Twins have.
