    I would do that deal in a heartbeat which probably means Milwaukee wouldn’t.

    Larnach is the definition of an average hitter even when getting protected against lefties. He’s a sub par outfielder who is also slow. The Twins desperately need an infusion of speed and defense in the outfield. Larnachs spot is a great place to start. Unfortunately this would be an off season transition.

    I hope EmRod can stay healthy and take the next step. The Twins could really use an infusion of speed and defense in the outfield.

    It was enjoyable to watch some athletic outfielders who can run and play defense. The Twins need an injection of that in my opinion meaning I would move on from Larnach or Wallner (maybe both) for next year.

    I would place him above those guys. For one thing he seems to compete and not be afraid to attack hitters. His stuff is meh but he throws all his pitches for strikes and he mixes it up enough to get guys out. Mathew’s and Festa have higher ceilings but SWR has a much higher floor IMO.

    Not worried about power numbers right now for Jenkins. I like that he is more of an all around hitter and not just power oriented. I have no doubt the power will come with more experience and without making changes to his nice swing.

    Or DeBarge, or Winokur, or DeAndrade

    Enjoyable read.

    Hmmm….Royce Lewis for Daulton Rushing?
  10. Linus
    I wouldn’t pay any attention to this. When the Pohlads are moving their personal belongings out of Target Field then we can get excited

    I’m really happy for Buck. I will also be on pins and needles during the home run derby (hoping he doesn’t get hurt).

    Brad Radke in the 8 th round. That was a nice bonus.
  13. Linus
    We kind of stole that one. I thought that when Jeffers double clutched and threw the ball into right center it was the critical mistake that costs you a close game but they battled back. Nobody wants to be critical of a guy making his big league debut and hopefully some of today was jitters. But let’s be honest - that was was batting practice out there. I’m afraid that is not big league stuff.
  14. Linus
    Completely agree.
  15. Linus
    His hitting profile is kind of what the Twins lineup needs. Obviously he has a couple more levels to conquer but the bat looks like a good fit for the big club. He is not a good fielder but does have a good arm. He has one opportunity to improve in the field: get in better physical condition. Without getting personal he doesn’t appear to have the fitness level of a big leaguer.

    No matter how the club plays between now and the deadline I am not buying. This offense is in need of an overhaul that is not possible at the deadline. As is the offense craters so frequently it makes getting to the playoffs unlikely and even if they get there and playoff caliber pitching will shut the offense down hard. I would sell on all expiring contracts and one of Larnach or Wallner (my main off season goal is adding an athletic plus outfielder). I would listen on Durán but would have to be blown away. Julien, Miranda and Stewart would all be available in trade as well.

    I would have bets lots that Hrbek had a three homer game.

    As always an interesting topic. I think SWR will provide good value to the Twins. He will likely always be a 4th or 5th starter but that is still valuable - he sets a decent floor for the rotation. He’s been durable which is valuable in and of itself. I think if he can gain experience using his whole arsenal of average pitches that will be his “strength” and he will be able to go a little longer in games. He seems to compete well on the mound which some of our other pitchers could learn from.
  19. Linus
    This is a perfect example of why I want a new FO. The bad decisions outweigh the good decision by a margin that says failure. They are not particularly good at developing players and make lots of player evaluation mistakes. Nobody is perfect but they just aren’t good enough in these two areas.
  20. Linus
    To be fair, Bride has better control 😀
  21. Linus
    I’m glad they pulled the plug. Biomechanics are tricky things - if he compensated for the hip with a bad movement it could injure his arm which would be really bad.
  22. Linus
    Good call on the Sodbuster - I forgot that part.
  23. Linus
    Or the very capable Kenny Jaye.
  24. Linus
    Agreed. At this point I would bring up Julien and let him play second and Lee at third. And I’m not really a fan of Julien but that is how strongly I believe Royce needs to get healthy and right in the batters box.
  25. Linus
    I think the group of good young players plus Skubal is a little more important.
