    I feel IF he can not have negative defense numbers and at least league average offense numbers, he will be fine and maybe stick around.
  2. RpR
    As long as he does not throw the ball to the Center Fielder , as Jeffers did too often, he will fit just fine.

    Hopefully it keeps Julien off the Big League field for 162 games. Which is a bit bette than the usual make some thing into less good than it is/was.

    Twins could sign Gallo and then move Wallner to the pen!

    Oh yes, the moaing and groaning here about not doing what some here think should be done will be very loud.

    Lewis is NOT good at 3rd, Lee's best fielding numbers came at 3rd. Keaschall looked like Julien in his early years at Second, Clemens did better there than Keaschall. Lee stunk at SS.especially with his small range.

    Calvin went through a LOT of players in the sixties , the ones who stayed , stayed because they were good enough to stay. He could have dumped them at ANY time he wanted but HE did NOT. The clause did NOT FORCE him to keep any one. THAT was a team. Do not like it , do not read it.
  8. RpR
    Move Lewis to First , Lee to Third , Clemens to Second Base and get a good Short Stop.
  9. RpR
    Maybe. But some sent down to AAA, rookies or vets, for one reason or another stink there also.
  10. RpR
    They stayed because Calvin thought they were worth keeping,, and he could afford them. You try so hard.

    Blame AI, for any errors. - Although - I should have remembered the Twins had Leo Cardenas at the latter point. One of the best glove SS the Twins ever had.

    You're opinion.

    These were on both World Series teams: Randy Bush, Greg Gagne, Dan Gladden, Kent Hrbek, Gene Larkin, Al Newman, & Kirby Puckett, Griffin kept players he knew were good enough to win.Harmon Killebrew, Tony Oliva, Jim Kaat, Rich Rollins, Zoilo Versalles, Earl Battey, and Bob Allison,were on both the 1965 and 1969 teams

    Yep, there are too many who come up and shine bright for one year and then after the league adjusts to them ,become, IF they are fortunate journey men players. You do not build a winning team on here today-gone tomorrow talent wise rookies. The twins have had far too many of those, or total flops, in the past decade. 2019 was the last year they had brought in and up a group of players who melded into winning team, only to be broken up quickly. The winning Twins of the 60s-70s and 80s-90 had a group of players who were here for many years, not traded like courtesans.

    This site , as a whole, has a lot of posters who use Their prejudice and bias to annoint or trash players. They act as if a dude is their boy not getting a fair chance , or, one of those boys from the wrong side of the rails is BLOCKING their chosen son, or the manager does not realize how wonderful their boy is. Baldelli did not ruin any one, nor was any one ever blocked by another. Skill, or lack of it, is what really matters.

    His defense has improved but his throws to First while generally, now, not bounching are still ALL very low to the ground. He is not a good 3rd baseman.
  17. RpR
    Does not say how you know he is not just another flash in the pan. Many high pick rookies fizzled within two years.
  18. RpR
    How?🤩
  19. RpR
    The catching duo next year: Gasper and Pereda
  20. RpR
    I will be happy if they win both the Dodgers and Yankee series.
  21. RpR
    Heck, Julien is still with the Twins with his Iron Glove. If he meets all of Ziggy's requirements, nothing to lose, but better at DH.
  22. RpR
    🤔As a non-actual numbers statement - IF the average age of hitting the bigs was 25 and the average age of moving on to a different job was 35 , 30 year old players would be middle aged.🤔
  23. RpR
    They are not developing, for goodness sakes; they are training for more and more difficult opponents , in a sport they are well versed on, as the go through the Minor Leagues. A five year old could be called developing as he is experienceing some thing absolutely new to him.🍺
  24. RpR
    Put him in when the Twins get blown out; his power and inaccuracy would put fear in any batter.
  25. RpR
    That is what Spring Training is for, NOT regular season. If he shows well in Spring Training he will be up; if he sucks at the Majors he goes back down.
