    Since the club is still in the WC race, the only reason NOT to bring Culpepper and Jenkins up would be fear they can't produce at the level of the guys they'd be replacing in the lineup. As noted, the production of Kreidler and Roden would be hard NOT to improve on. The callups would be as much about making the 26-man better as it would giving them an opportunity. I can go either way on Wallner....the 20 HR are fun....but he's two shy of club record held by McCusker, so there's a big grain of salt there. Plus, he can't play defense and Bell is locked in as the DH. Jackson, at the very least, gives you some protection for Jeffers/Caratini injury.

    In a word....YES

    I don't know exactly what he does, but I do know this team battles. I feel like the at bats are much better...I have heard him talk of "avoiding strikeouts", shocking that things are better offensively when a team isn't striking out 12-14 times every game.

    Could be. Hadn't thought of that.

    I keep racking my brain to try and find a reason why the best move is to keep him through this season. This is not a serious playoff team. It was never going to be a serious playoff team. They might make the playoffs, but. It's been a fun team to watch....they battle offensively and I'm shocked it's team within one game of .500. I just hate losing good players, but he's leaving anyway. I guess it would depend on the return....hopefully with Langeliers out of the picture it creates a mini bidding war for Jeffers.

    Paredes isn't going to pitch again this year with that injury
  23. HerbieFan
    I think he's a middling mlb player at best. However, he has clearly been their best SS. Until Culpepper is ready to take that role, they should just run him out there everyday....hit him in the 8/9 hole and take what you can get offensively.
  24. HerbieFan
    If they don't lose Paredes....and have to use Rojas for four innings yesterday I'm not sure Sands even gets activated. Guys like Jack Anderson and Eric Orze might give them a better chance right now, so could Sands be sent back to St.Paul to basically continue his rehab???
  25. HerbieFan
    Derek Falvey outthunk himself on that one.
  26. HerbieFan
    Signing made some sense at the time....mlb veteran, utility depth, etc.. AAA at bats can go to younger guys the rest of the year. Could Marek Houston possibly be promoted to St. Paul if Culpepper comes over to Target Field? With Kreidler and Lee at the mlb level and Culpepper back playing at St.Paul the Twins should be fine.

    I don't feel like his issue is stuff. It's more about location. 98 center cut gets killed in mlb. He'll make pitches that make you go wow...and then make a pitch that makes you go wow, what the heck was that? But, at some point he is who he is. I do think he'd make an excellent reliever whenever that time comes...
  28. HerbieFan
    They won't bring him up and start his major league service time clock unless he's going to play everyday....and they shouldn't. With the uncertainty surrounding whether there will be baseball in 2027, I fear they won't bring him up at all and keep from starting that clock until 2028.
