    and Lee has 1216 at bats including college so your point is what, only Twins prospects need extended time in the minors? All those players were in the majors prior to the age Lee is now. If the Twins don't think he is ready so be it but the longer he stays in the minors the less likely he is going to be the star we all hope he will be. And FYI, what I wrote was true, that is how many AA at bats they had, (You said this - Brooks Lee has 229 career minor league at bats, none of which are higher than the AA), so maybe leave out the part about being ridiculous.

    Isn't that the job of the FO office to bring in guys that can play in the majors? Of course failure is high, On the current roster how many players did this FO draft that are on the team? I think it is Jeffers now that Larnach is down. 7 years? 1 guy? and it is the players fault? And I might the others that are close are 24 plus and some say they need more minor league time.
  3. TwinsDr2021
    So you are saying if you called up either of those teams and offered Sands or Wallner for a semi decent 18 year old prospect (ranked between 30 and 40 in their prospects )they are going to say no? And yet they are good enough to be on the Twins 40 man? That makes zero sense, unless of course their 40 man is so full of better players than them.
  4. TwinsDr2021
    Michael Harris was called up after 196 at bats in AA, Vaughn Grissom 98, Julio Rodriguez, 206, Anthony Volpe very little, Nolan Gorman same, Dylan Carlson, and on and on, Real Prospects don't need to spend forever in the minors.
  5. TwinsDr2021
    I am not afraid of losing almost 26 year old Sands, and Wallner is almost 25 1/2. Oh no, somebody might pick up Solanco, that could even save the Twins some money. Maybe give a call to Oakland or KC or another bad team and offer Sands or Wallner or both of a really young semi-decent prospect that doesn't need 40 man protection for a few years. Maybe throw in Balazovic to sweeten the deal. Nothing is too hard to ever come.

    Why? other teams bring up young guys all the time, the Twins in the past have brought up young guys, but all of a sudden 22 is too young and is rushing a guy? If the guy is a major league baseball player and future all star type player it isn't going to hurt his development to bring him up.
  7. TwinsDr2021
    So the FO brings in the players and pays people to develop the players but it is on the players? I can't agree with that.
  8. TwinsDr2021
    Castro, Garlick, Wallner, Solanco, Gordon, Sands, Rodrguez, any number of players.
  9. TwinsDr2021
    Is there any hitter that has really improved under this FO?
  10. TwinsDr2021
    If that is the goal of the season, this FO and manager need to be fired ASAP.
  11. TwinsDr2021
    agreed, he hasn't had an ERA under 4 since 2019 and hasn't pitched more than 110 innings since then. I don't see him being a full time unlimited starter until 25.
  12. TwinsDr2021
    I agree with this, there can be luck, I believe mostly good luck for a batter. Gordon isn't this bad, but I don't think he is a good as he was last year. IMO he is a fine bench player and should never be put in a position of blocking a prospect.
  13. TwinsDr2021
    If the Twins really think he has a chance at next year's rotation, then he should stay, if the plan for next year doesn't include him, move him to the pen now.
  14. TwinsDr2021
    I think sending down a 26 year old healthy hitter might not be giving up on him but it is a sign of the beginning of the end, you can't have a guy like that clogging up the 40 man forever, IMO.
  15. TwinsDr2021
    Jax is what he is, a really good relief pitcher that averages giving up a run every 4 outings.
  16. TwinsDr2021
    Good Luck to Rooker, but can we hold off a bit, talk about SSS he has 75 at bats this year so far. and he has K'd 8 times in his last 13 at bats.
  17. TwinsDr2021
    While I agree with this, it is setting up that the only central division team going to the playoffs is the champion, and the Twins do have 3.5 game lead, so there is some room to let things play out, but a couple of months in a long time and if Cleveland passes them in the division and starts pulling away the second half might be a little late to be figuring things out.
  18. TwinsDr2021
    Agreed, at his worst he is better than Gordon at his best.
  19. TwinsDr2021
    Well he has played 4 games and tied for 7th on the team in RBI and is 15h in at bats, so yes he coming back was the right time.
  20. TwinsDr2021
    Well I would say that Wade's 2021 season was the best so far(he was 21st in the MVP voting) and Baddoo's 21 season is the second best season. Other than that those two have been terrible and Larnach hasn't been much better. Again, I thought the point was they were let go because the thought was that Larnach and maybe AK were superior to them and as this point those two haven't been competent major league players or just barely. I believe Larnach will be better (thus they did the right thing keeping him over the other two) then either of those two but he needs to get better and a hurry, sending a 26 year old to the minors is not a good sign for his career.
  21. TwinsDr2021
    I didn't take it that Baddo or Wade have been great or even good, just that they were let go because of what the Twins thought of Larnach, and as of today that hasn't been great.
  22. TwinsDr2021
    He is 26 and needs more time in AAA?Really? I would love to see examples of guys that age 24 and 25 were league average at best then were sent down and later became something more than league average?
  23. TwinsDr2021
    I would disagree that he was one of the better starters prior to surgery, he was a good starting pitcher. In his best season (11 starts) he was tied for 27th in WAR (1.6)per ESPN, behind Dylan Bundy. His only season with a WAR above 2 was his rookie year 2016 (2.4) again ESPN. Same numbers at Baseball reference. In his 21 starts in 21 his WAR was .3. IMO he should have started the year in the pen and Ober giving the starting job, that didn't happen, now my opinion is Maeda should be given every chance to start, since I don't believe Ober is a future piece of the Twins starting staff, other than a really good fill in starter.
  24. TwinsDr2021
    The have lost a 40 man spot since calling up SWR last year. Not saying that is bad or wrong, just a fact, if he turns out to not be good it would be wasted 40 man.
  25. TwinsDr2021
    Kind of funny that the best guy is hurt, 24, in AA, and without a real position, and the next best just got demoted after attempting 0 stolen bases.
