    Took them a bit, but they finally replaced Outman with Fedko. I'm cheering for Kyler, and hoping he can overcome the AAAA expectations.
  2. Danchat
    There just aren't that many options... transition Klein to be a one-inning reliever and hope his 6.40 ERA at AAA goes down, CJ Culpepper is close but needs to walk less hitters... Raya has finally gotten his walks down, but still sports an ERA over 6. Not a lot to choose from, though I'd take it over the chaff we churn through in the majors.

    Just checking in, dang, Royce is back. Too bad it seems Prielipp has gotten figured out... which isn't super surprising for a guy with only 128 innings in his minor league career.
  4. Danchat
    Uff da. At one point it seemed like Orze might be a decent option in the pen, but recently he's looked more like a guy that the Rays gave away for almost nothing.

    Geez, on Burleson's HR I can't remember the last time I've ever seen a home run hit that deep to RF in that section. Also, I saw 4% chance of rain at the beginning of today from the more reliable weather app I use... I guess you can say we hit the low odds?

    You beat me to it, that one is gonna confuse some dads.

    The main reason why they continue to miss the playoffs is because most of their prospects have disappointed to some degree - not a single Falvey draft pick has ever even made it to an All-Star game. I agree that they have been slow to promote their hitting prospects, but it's not the root to why the team has stunk most of these last 6 years.

    They've been fortunate that all three have contributed something offensively... Kreidler's the best defender so he makes the most sense to me to be a bench player. Gray's clutch hitting seems unsustainable and he's a bad defender, that doesn't look like a combo that will last too much longer.

    Zebby is a strange starter, he can consistently go 6+ innings which is rare these days, but he just gives up so many darn HRs. I really thought he could work as a #4-5 starter going forward but maybe a move to the bullpen is in his future. LOL @ Outman going to the Tigers. They do have a few outfielders who are Outman-level of incompetence at the plate so I guess it makes a little bit of sense. You have to remember coming into this series they were 13 games below .500, they had to get there somehow.

    The next time I do a Create Your Own Player on whatever 2K Baseball game, I'm gonna name the guy Cash Considerations. 😆
  11. Danchat
    Perhaps it could be beneficial for him to get a cup of coffee for a couple weeks in the majors and then have him go back down and work on his swing until he comes back post trade deadline? I don't think there's any worry that he'd get yo-yoed like a utility guy or a reliever, they don't treat their top prospects like that.
  12. Danchat
    I've seen this play out before, he'll have some positive regression and hit well enough to not get DFA'd, but also still not be good enough to be traded for anything other than cash considerations.
  13. Danchat
    I think it's time for Culpepper to get a shot in the majors.
  14. Danchat
    W = walks, not wins!
  15. Danchat
    Geez, I thought he'd be back any day now. I think he's been out a good 40+ days now...
  16. Danchat
    Well, I like this move more than some other bullpen acquisitions. 3 option years for Rashi and he has pitched well at AAA recently. Very unlikely to be the next Gomez, but I'll take him over Lawrence.
  17. Danchat
    I know it's an unpopular take, but I'm in total agreement. Selling high on a guy who is probably at the peak of his value is a wise move to make before his play inevitably decreases because he's a 30 year old utility player. Obviously it depends if he continues to hit to the deadline, but with how much hitting is down around the league I wonder if they could get a decent package for him given he has 2.5 years of control left. If the return is similar to what they got for 2 months of Castro (at the time a non-top 30 prospect from the Rangers), then I will decline. I'm not advocating for giving him away for very little as if he's a rental. Huh? How is a 33 year old DH hitting 77 OPS+ with 2 months of control left the same value as Clemens assuming he's still hitting above average and has 2.5 years of control left?
  18. Danchat
    It sounds like Prielipp is on a pitch count and it's probably not up to Shelton to be able to push him that far.
  19. Danchat
    He should wait behind the others who are hitting better at AAA and would be far better defensively.
  20. Danchat
    Royce played 10 games at 3B, 2 games at 1B, and 1 game at 2B at AAA... and now he's up in the majors playing 2B. This organization never seems to have any idea how to prepare players defensively. Just like how they should have known Lee had no business playing SS.
  21. Danchat
    Travis Adams in a save situation is certainly a choice...
  22. Danchat
    Uh, I have some bad news for you.
  23. Danchat
    I believe that is accurate, I remember reading that the process can take up to 9-10 days and the 7 + 2 math aligns with that.
  24. Danchat
    Austin Martin's OPS is nearing sub .700 OPS... hard to imagine after he started off the year so darn hot. Pretty crazy how things can take a turn for the worse. And yeah, seems like the Twins were right to start him off in a platoon. Once Twins Daily users got what they want with him playing every day against righties, his numbers have dropped.
  25. Danchat
    For AAA, I'm seeing Sabato at 261 innings, Gonzalez at 114, Wagaman 94 (gone), and Fedko 26. Seems like it's mostly just Sabato and Gonzalez playing at 1B.
