    Who has been pitching great this year, another guy we probably shouldn't have DFA'd. Kinda like Ronny Henriquez.
  2. Danchat
    I didn't mean Ross was next up ahead of Culpepper, I just meant next up after that. He'd be more in Fedko territory if he ever got called up, Shelton probably wouldn't use him much.
  3. Danchat
    For whatever reason they seem to think he's their best fielding SS when Kreidler is inexplicably playing in the OF. I think I'd take Arcia over him, but for whatever reason they don't trust him there. And they won't be calling Culpepper up for a while... Ben Ross is the next man up. Insane how AAA is overstuffed with OF prospects, and yet the likes of Kreidler, Keaschall, and Clemens (who is at least hitting well enough to justify it) have had stretches of being starting OFs. Really strange roster construction.

    Funderburk already? Oh boy...

    Even DeBarge's best hitting season in the minors wasn't that good, they have been aggressive promoting him but what upside does a guy with a career .680 OPS in the minors have? At some point you have to remove the bias of being a 1st round pick and evaluate the player for who he is.

    I opened Twitter a few minutes ago and everybody I follow (mostly football people) are complaining about the red flag. I have no idea if it was that bad of a call...

    To me, Zoll has felt like a rerun of Falvey. Still a very small sample size, I don't see any difference between Zoll holding onto the likes of Outman, Garcia, and Lawrence compared to other Falvey duds of the past. I'm no Falvey supporter, but even he wasn't holding onto a 10+ ERA ancient reliever for more than 9 appearances. Shelton has certainly been an upgrade from Rocco, but you could tell me Falvey was still in charge and I'd believe you.

    Yeah, it's good to move to player to a better spot when possible, but evidently their initial plan was poorly conceived. At the very least it should have been obvious that Lee couldn't handle SS and inexplicably Gray was his backup. They did flirt with playing Keaschall in LF, I get sticking with him to see if he got better at 2B. Too bad he didn't.
  10. Danchat
    Right, too bad they've moved every Opening Day infielder off their initial positions.
  11. Danchat
    Doesn't seem like there's much faith in Fedko. They don't seem him as a prospect so they feel there is no need to give him regular at bats, so he's just sitting in Outman's role, hiding on the bench. Bummer to hear that about Banda, might be a season-ender. Time to convert Klein into a one-inning reliever and hope Culpepper is ready for the call. They could do something really fun and call up both Culpeppers on the same day.
  12. Danchat
    The Twins seem to be taking the AAA hitting stats with a boulder of salt. I get why, but at some point how does a player force their way up? Would Sabato get any more chance than Fedko, who is barely playing? Methinks Sabato is gonna strike out a lot, and unlike a lot of other power-first prospects we've seen in this organization, he is not going to get much runway to adjust to major league pitching.
  13. Danchat
    Feels like borderline witchcraft how they are getting the hitting out of the likes of Kreidler and Jackson. Our hitting coach deserves a pay raise (or whatever kind of incentive they can give him to not leave the organization).
  14. Danchat
    Trading Larnach should rely on whether they will buy his final season of arbitration, if that's going to be too expensive for them then it's better to trade him at the deadline than let him hit the open market and get nothing for him.
  15. Danchat
    Larnach has been great no doubt, but if these prospects never get called up they can never prove anything at the major league level. If the organization does not believe in them, they need to trade several of these guys. There's no point to holding onto these prospects if they're not going to use them, may as well cash them in for something. Heck, I wouldn't complain if Rodriguez/Roden/Gonzalez/Mendez got flipped (as part of a package) for a major league player who can help in 2027/2028. That would be better than the alternative of watching said OF prospect continue to sit in AAA for 2026 and 2027 not helping the major league team.
  16. Danchat
    Even with the bullpen being as weak as it is, the issue is compounded seeing Morris and Gomez throw only 6 combined pitches the past two days. It's going to stink when you don't use your few best options.
  17. Danchat
    Are the Rockies attempting to top what our bullpen did yesterday?
  18. Danchat
    Raya definitely has more upside... but they need to decide on Klein being a one inning reliever rather than the nonsense multi-inning piggyback starter.
  19. Danchat
    Yeah... not shocked that this is what we get from a guy with a ERA north of 5.60 in 140 career innings at AAA. Yes, he got hot lately, but over the aggregate he was quite bad.
  20. Danchat
    Well, that's the last challenges unless we go to extra innings.
  21. Danchat
    4 HRs for Goodman in his last 5 PAs... insanity! Stop pitching to him!
  22. Danchat
    Julien with a called strikeout? That brings back memories.
  23. Danchat
    I'd take SWR over the waiver wire bullpen arms we usually claim... problem is he doesn't have any options.
  24. Danchat
    He's actually returning to a former position of his in Cleveland, he previously had a job there that he took after getting fired from Indy. BTW, I've seen that there's speculation Sanders could be traded in the next couple months. Not that he'd go for much, but it sounds like he or Gabriel (who was drafted ahead of him) will be gone as they did draft a QB who will be their QB3.
  25. Danchat
    Feels like they need to move one of their OFs for a reliever... hopefully one that isn't a rental. Heck, I'd dangle Roden out there, might as well cash him in for something if they aren't going to use him.
