    I've been in a state of disappointment for about 15 or so months with Kepler, but I can't see what we'd get for him if traded. He's a great defender and can hold his own in CF (which is desperately needed with Buxton's inability to hit/be healthy), takes plenty of walks, but he just doesn't get many hits. Too many soft fly balls. He's one of the more underwhelming 2 WAR players, but he still has the chance to get better. I'm not sure if he'll be on the team in 2020 but I'd give him one more shot in 2019.

    I think Brandon forgot to put at the end of the article that the rest is continued elsewhere.

    So... Sano's back in the lineup and 4 for 4 with 4 strikeouts. Boy, it seems he just can't hit anymore. That and he can't stay healthy either.

    I thought Stewart would have to be a reliever to stay in the big leagues, but as a primary pitcher/long reliever? Huh, he might just be a keeper.

    Since when was it bring your dog to the ballpark day? Also, Dick: "Well... at least they're not looking at their cell phones."
  6. Danchat
    Sounds like it was a minor injury, and you know what they say, "everyone's hurt at this time of the year".
  7. Danchat
    Well, if you wanted emotion from Molitor, there's some. Plus just some more embarrassing baseball from this club, which unfortunately isn't surprising at this point.

    While I don't think Hildy is a non-MLB talent, I don't think he's cut out for the closer role and I'm not sure if he's good for high leverage situations. The only positive development in the bullpen thus far has been Taylor Rogers... I forsee several relievers getting added on 1 year deals this offseason with nobody else seizing any spots.

    Astudillo's hitting .314 folks... I'm sure he's a downgrade at the plate from Bobby Wilson, but I'll take that for the runs he's helping create.
  10. Danchat
    Nice relay there, keeping the lead intact. Good play, boys.

    You reminded me of something, and now I have to post it:
  12. Danchat
    Tyler Austin is reminding me of Joey Gallo... which is both a good and bad thing. All HRs or nothing (Ks).
  13. Danchat
    Who was calling Gonsalves "can't miss", because I think that's what you're referring to?
  14. Danchat
    I'm not the biggest fan of the opener myself, but the old folks complaining about how baseball is ruined really gets old fast. It's natural for sports to evolve as they age, and things are simply going to change. Plus, why not experiment in September? I think we've seen enough 2-3 inning starts to try something new.
  15. Danchat
    Let's see if Hildy can do what Rodney couldn't earlier this year.
  16. Danchat
    Fair enough, but a single in a RISP situation is a whole lot better than making an out.
  17. Danchat
    Great outing for Odorizzi thus far, but it's a shame he's at 102 pitches. No chance for the no-hitter.
  18. Danchat
    I dunno, I thought it was a good idea at the time because I thought Murphy would be a pretty good catcher. I don't think anyone expected Murphy to completely and totally implode within months, and for about a year it looked like Hicks was going to bust too...
  19. Danchat
    Most didn't think Stewart was part of the future... just check out his numbers in the minors. They're not that good. Gonsalves... you got me there.
  20. Danchat
    Good to see Cave with the big hit against his former team. One of the few exciting players to see on the Twins in September.
  21. Danchat
    Plus Grossman has the only RBI hit for the Twins and he's hitting .310+ since his activation from the DL. Not an exciting player, but they're gonna keep trotting him out there.
  22. Danchat
    The problem is, having Grossman out there isn't quite as egregious as having Petit or Field out there. There just isn't a lot of position players in the high minors ready yet. Wade and Gordon weren't doing so hot in AAA, and they're not going to start some guys' clocks too early, it seems.
  23. Danchat
    Interesting ideas... it seems everyone and their mother have their own way to fix baseball. This one seems fleshed out and reasonable. I'm still waiting for a team to coach a new philosophy where they constantly beat shifts and force defenses to play them straight up. You can still have a few players who are aiming for power, but I'd like to see some more emphasis on getting guys on base against shifts and causing death by bunts [bunt hits, I mean] and singles.
  24. Danchat
    I guess I forgot Hildy. He's been either really good or really bad, but unfortunately it's felt like a 50-50 split from him. A bit of Jekyll and Hyde for Hildenberger.
  25. Danchat
    Well, that was supposed to be due to the Reed-Pressly-Rodney-Duke-Rogers core, which was decent, but they're kinda gone (three of them), ineffective/injured? (Reed), and really good (Rogers).
