    It's over. It was over at the trade deadline but the FO was delusional. Get ERod up. Treat the last 16 games as early Spring Training. Stop giving playing time to players that have no future on this team (or any other).

    I will be stunned if Jeffers gets anything less than a $60M offer. I think it will be closer to $80M. C's are scarce, and C's that can hit are even scarcer. He will get paid.
  3. SteveLV
    I would rather be paying $23M to Jeffers to play C for the Twins than $10M to Correa to play 3B for the Astros. Just sayin'.

    Here's a concept: Sign him to an extension. He likes the Twins, so pay the man like he deserves and end all the drama and angst. He is a good, home-grown player. Ryan, on the other hand, wants to go home to California so should be traded in the off season. And if the FO cannot or will not extend Jeffers, it was criminal negligence not to trade him before the trade deadline this year.

    ....and also eliminate the Dodgers' unique, sweetheart revenue deals that were because of owner's divorce 15 years ago. Ridiculous that this is still a thing. NFL model is the gold standard. Raise minimum salary substantially. Raise salary for MiLB players, too. True, 100% financial disclosure. True, 100% revenue sharing except concessions and novelty sales. Need strong leadership to make this happen. Never will.

    Re: Lee or Culpepper at 3B, in the SSS so far, Culpepper has not shown a sure glove at SS, fighting the ball. That is not going to get better at 3B. He needs to get better and more confident as a fielder. Future could be SS, 2B or 3B quite frankly. Lee doesn't have his arm velo, but seems pretty nimble and does not seem to fight the ball as much.

    Is there any chance that Buxton just retires rather than yet another surgery and rehab? He has given his all, but his body is just not holding up to the challenge.
  8. SteveLV
    Comment above is correct: Until MLB fixes the financial side of the game, we are all just arguing about which chairs to put where on the Twins Titanic. This boat 'aint gonna float competitively. It can be a cute and fun boat, but it is never going much of anywhere. Maybe a runabaout.
  9. SteveLV
    I am still not sold that Lewis' bat justifies taking 1B. Hope he hits well, but skeptical.... Lee or Culpepper to 2nd once Houston arrives would be fine. Culpepper might settle in better with time and experience at SS, too.

    It is interesting to look at Jenkins, Culpepper and Keaschall. They actually look like athletes for a change.
  11. SteveLV
    And the Dodgers and Yankees will still have the best holographic robots.....
  12. SteveLV
    Jenkins has to learn to stop stinging the ball like that! :)
  13. SteveLV
    This roster should have substantial turnover by next year--and it should start now with the current homestand. Keaschall needs to learn how to play second base or may have to be a DH next season. Bell, Larnach, Kreidler, Jeffers (FA) all gone. Clemens should get fewer AB's. Twins should be replacing at least 40% of the PA's next year. The pitching is another story.....
  14. SteveLV
    The apparent angst over Jenkins taking a roster spot on the 40 man confuses me. If it is concern over being locked out in the Spring, I kinda get it. But if it the idea that we can't find anyone to drop from the 40 man to make room, this is ridiculous. We can cut 10 guys right now and have no material impact on their competitiveness, maybe more. This is hardly a loaded roster.
  15. SteveLV
    Unfortunately, those of us who advocated trading the Vets at the deadline (or sooner) largely because we felt the Twins' playoff viability was a mirage were, indeed, correct absent some miracle. That water is now over the dam. Time to make the best decisions possible at this point in time, and clearly it is time to clean house and bring up and give playing time to players that can be part of the future for this team. And I don't mean one player, either. 5 weeks left in the season, so make the most of that "early Spring Training".
  16. SteveLV
    Jenkins, 5 AB's today: Single, 2 HR"s, and 2 BB's. Slacker. We can't use you up here, Walker. No room. Silliness.
  17. SteveLV
    Only 2 HR's for Jenkins in Game 1 today (1 was hit last night). He sure seems ready to me.
  18. SteveLV
    Please face reality and bring up some youngsters and get them some MLB experience. They were dreaming at the trade deadline, and now they must wake up. Too late to recoup the lost assets for players like Jeffers who will now disappear with no compensation, but at least don't fall into the sunk cost fallacy and keep running these aging no-hope Vets out there. Play for 2027 now.
  19. SteveLV
    I like Ryan. But c'mon. Skubal >>>>> Ryan. Skubal can win a WS for your team. That is worth everything.
  20. SteveLV
    If Houston can be 90th percentile fielding and 25th percentile hitting, he is good to go. If Culpepper can be 50th percentile fielding and 40th percentile hitting, he is good to go. I am astonished the Twins were pursuing Neto. (And I think those percentiles are realistic, by the way.)
  21. SteveLV
    They gave up Hill plus 2 others. The only saving factor is Hoffman is not a rental, he is signed for 2027 too. I have no idea why they are doing this. I sense a meddlesome rookie owner.
  22. SteveLV
    I am almost glad the Twins have sat idle. Their last move was questionable, and I don't think they have a realistic chance of advancing in the playoffs so I hate the idea of trading prospects at this point. Personally, I would have traded Jeffers, but apparently, they prefer to ride out the season and hope for a pick after he (allegedly) turns down a QO.
  23. SteveLV
    How about just SIGNING him to an extension. There is still time to get it done if you hustle. He likes the Twins. Pay the man, He deserves it.
  24. SteveLV
    I wish the MLB Commissioner would stop the Skubal trade for competitive balance reasons. At least the Dodgers had to give up some prospect/player capital instead of just buying him, but I am sure they will extend him to try and beat the CBA negotiations which might cap their ability to buy all the best players going forward. The rich get richer.
  25. SteveLV
    Warren with 6 shutout innings tonight vs. the Cubs. He ain't going anywhere.
