    This. It’s time to be decisive with this roster. Play Royce nearly everyday for the rest of this year. If he doesn’t turn it around move on. I would wait a little longer with Lee but not much or he is the utility guy. Larnach should be gone and Wallner too unless he really turns it around. Same for Martin, he will not be a starter with this level of production. This FO had to stop waiting until guys are 28 years old to decide if they are part of a winning team

    Talented ball players.

    I think there are several reasons we where we are: 1 Falvey early drafting strategy drafting bat first players 2 Lack of development 3 Maybe most importantly being indecisive about roster construction. Larnach is a good example - we should have moved on and pursued other better options but whatever method they used to decide told them to hang on. I don’t think there is any doubt now that you have to finish the teardown at the deadline. People are all excited about our farm system. I don’t see it. Hopefully Culpepper makes it and Jenkins will be good. That’s two guys and we need upgrades all over the place. The one bright spot is starting pitching- truly something to build around.

    To me it looks like his off speed stuff is not fooling anyone. The fastball plays but there is a big drop off after that. The last few times I’ve watched he was struggling with control as well.
  5. Linus
    This is from my unreliable memory but didn’t service times get negotiated as part of the last settlement? In other words it might be hard to plan for because they could agree to something different than what it would have been.
  6. Linus
    IMO Gray should go first - he just cannot play SS. I’d probably keep Kreidler over Arcia just due to age. His elite glove doesn’t look elite to me but he has hit better than expected. I’m guessing over time he will sharpen up in the field and regress at the plate.

    I’m not sure I exactly follow but I was using the scale as compared to other big leaguers so 50 would be an average big leaguer. If I had to grade him I would agree with 50 speed and 45 arm, maybe 45/50 arm. I would also say 45/50 glove, 40/45 hit and 55/60 power. My opinion and 50 cents won’t get you a cup of coffee. I wonder if scouts even use this scale in any way. Seems like it would be much more sophisticated.
  8. Linus
    Respectfully disagree. His sprint speed is average and so is his arm.
  9. Linus
    Are we sure this is true? This gets repeated a lot but if you were to grade his five tools on a scouting scale the only thing that would be above 50 is hit for power.
  10. Linus
    Don’t worry about it - he’s just trolling you.

    If anyone doesn’t understand why ERA is a bogus stat just look at the official scoring from last nights game. Glad the Twins scratched out a win from a bullpen game but our starters are gonna need to pitch efficiently for the next couple of games. Buck was the difference again but Paredes did a nice job.
  12. Linus
    All the missed plays in the field by both teams and there were…….zero errors.
  13. Linus
    Adam’s giving it the Fundy. Walking off the mound on a ball 6 inches inside.
  14. Linus
    David Wells look a like
  15. Linus
    Smart play Buck.
  16. Linus
    Man walking Martin in front of Buck is a mistake.
  17. Linus
    Tough chance for Keaschall but half the second baseman make it.
  18. Linus
    One of the issues of a bullpen game with a bad bullpen is you are almost guaranteed that at least one guy is going to suck.
  19. Linus
    Another play not made by Keaschall.
  20. Linus
    Yep. Paredes has hung in there but looks like he’s tiring.
  21. Linus
    No way. Herr Kepler, who has a separate shrine also.
  22. Linus
    Too bad the contact play was on, Buck likely would have beat it out.
  23. Linus
    This lineup - what could possibly go wrong.
  24. Linus
    He is incredibly important to the Twins. If he isn’t the SS of the future we likely have a big problem. While I hope Houston is the long term solution there is a very real chance he hits like Kreidler in the show. If neither guy can make the Twins will be unloading valuable assets filling the void.
  25. Linus
    I don’t get the premise of “he always stinks the first two months”. I believe those games count. I never saw him play first much until this year but had read where he was a subpar defender. Well, after seeing him play that description is very kind. He is awful at first and can’t throw at all. Falvey made many questionable signings but $7 million for this guy tops them all.
