    Your take on Bux is too low. I kinda get your logic, but if you look at his WAR over the past 5 years, it's been pretty solid. 11th in MVP voting last year. Yes he's 32, but would you trade him for any of the prospects on this list?

    I enjoy that bullpen pitch count. Looks like the spreadsheet is missing 70 Adams pitches from Tuesday. Separately, I've been kind of watching the players we traded away. A spreadsheet on that would be interesting.

    Too early to give up on Brooks Lee.

    "the Twins enjoyed a several-month stretch of high-caliber play last season". As others have pointed out on various site, this is not really accurate. Take away 12-1 (?) vs. the White Sox, and we were a 70 win team.

    He should have sent Kepler IMO. Agree, he's been bad for years. I went to a game at Yankee Stadium a couple years back where he sent a guy with no outs who was thrown out. I question whether he is able to take into consideration the multiple scenarios.

    I've been looking forward to this guy getting a chance for awhile. I like Martin, but he has not adjusted defensively to the OF. Margot obviously terrible. Castro to me, while solid and valuable, is not an everyday player. Only negative about this is that Keirsey bats lefty, which we have an abundance of. I hope he gets some ABs.

    Thielbar medium leverage? C'mon, he's cooked. Proved it again last night.

    Watkins continues to be a poor 3B coach. How on earth does he not send Kepler on that play? Too often he sends guys who get thrown out? Twins need to move on from him.

    I will give Rocco credit for this year, with the Correa and Bux injuries, as well as starting pitching guys. And bullpen for that matter. Obviously the roster is a bit constrained due to budget as well. He used to drive me crazy with his pinch hitting for guys early in the game. He's had a pretty good record overall. If he has more success in the post season, he could move up in the rankings.

    I recall him as described. Good article. Thx. Interesting to look at his OPS, which is on the low side. Too me that has become the go to stat line.

    Lewis is too young and athletic to be DHing a lot. He could be an all star at 3B if he puts in the work. I think Miranda has improved, but not sure he'll ever be above average.

    I'm putting Alcala's bad outing on management. Too much work for him.

    Miranda did play quite a bit of 2B in the minors...he's not great at either 1B or 3B. Why not give him another look there on occasion?
  31. jccracraft
    Even with Kirilloff slumping and Santana supposedly heating up, Kirilloff's OPS is still higher. I agree that the Twins are unlikely to do it, but Santana and Margot (yes he had a good game yesterday, but still terrible on the whole) need to both be gone. No upside with either of them.
  32. jccracraft
    I'm willing to give him a full, hopefully healthy, season in the majors before I'd worry. He's obviously never had that continuity due to the injuries. His minor league stats (.906 OPS) were outstanding. His overall MLB stats are a little weak given his defensive liabilities. But I think he still has upside.
