    Martin and Roden mentioned going down when Buxton returns and they both have a sensational game recently.
  2. FlyingFinn
    Twins. He's not worth trading now, as his stock has dropped due to injuries. I say he will start in AAA if the 4th option year is true and then come up to the Twins. We waited out Buxton getting healthy enough to play worth $15 million/year. We will wait on the talent of Erod to be healthy (no sliding head first, I mean thumbs first).

    It is interesting that the Twins seem to be keeping Jackson on the MLB roster so they have him for next year. With all the catching injuries, he won't make it through waivers.
  4. FlyingFinn
    Can you also tell us how long he will stay activated 😊? Seriously, the Twins are a different team with Buxton out there and he fully earns what he is being paid, even with the amount he plays. I will welcome his return.

    What's your opinion as of now - can he actually be a catcher in MLB? I keep reading that he can't throw out runners. Also, if he's not a catcher, what do you think his chances of making it to MLB are? Seems a much steeper climb at that point.
  7. FlyingFinn
    Jenkins looks ready. With only a week or so to manipulate his service time, we will find out if the Twins are actually doing that.
  8. FlyingFinn
    Tait and Lackey will be interesting. Lackey is older and played college. He should move faster and should surpass Tait at some point, possibly even at the start of next year. Do we really want both on the same team if we want each to catch more than 50% of the time (I haven't paid attention if Tait is currently playing catcher more than 50% of their games)?

    Answer this question - would we be happy if Houston got to AAA and hit .250 with 10 HR's in 373 AB's? Interesting question because that's what Noah Miller is doing with the Dodgers AAA team (for some who don't know, we traded Miller for Manuel Margot and Rayne Doncon - both out of the Twins organization).
  10. FlyingFinn
    Why do I cringe any time I read "Emmanuel Rodriguez" and "dive" in the same sentence. Just keep those thumbs safe.
  11. FlyingFinn
    I'm not saying I wouldn't call them up but the poster asked for possible downsides. My only question is call them up now or in a couple weeks.
  12. FlyingFinn
    Biggest downside - they aren't ready. With Culpepper, it's coming back from injury after a lengthy layoff. Jenkins it's just some more reps and maybe adding some homers. Other minor downsides - No rookie of the year next year and no extra 1st round draft pick (more looking to 2027 rather than win this year). And, as you said, they can't play in AAA if there is a lockout in 2027.
  13. FlyingFinn
    Culpepper for Gray and Jenkins for........... Roden I guess, barring injury, at some point.
  14. FlyingFinn
    Interesting question - who would trade Rojas and Roden for Hoffman?
  15. FlyingFinn
    For some, yes, and then the last one: We traded Varland??????!!!!!!! Falvey needs to be fired!
  16. FlyingFinn
    I believe they are acquiring guys who are controllable in at least 2027. Gausman isn't so they got rid of him.

    Radio announcers are saying Lewis failed to cover 2nd base on the Robles single........................
  19. FlyingFinn
    Impressed how Keaschall has improved over the season without needing a trip to the Saints. So many guys make at least one trip to AAA to fix things.
  20. FlyingFinn
    Also, great to hear Dason Hill with a great outing. Hopefully, he can end the season on a high note and start out 2027 like it's 2025.
  21. FlyingFinn
    Thought that Fort Myers was hitting more homers than usual. Congrats on the franchise record and for JP Smith clobbering 15 homers.
  22. FlyingFinn
    What do I do with the ball when it's hit to me? At first base, in that last play, I would know I can never get the ground ball, step on first and then throw to 2nd base. That isn't one of my three options. Anyone else think this is just a little bit of the "the players playing now have always been told what to do by the coaches rather than think everything through before the next batter?" I just know that coaching 11-15 year-olds, I was always disappointed how robotic the all-star players were in the rec leagues. They just would look to the coach to know what to do. Maybe I'm just old.................
  23. FlyingFinn
    I'm betting the Twins are going to be very careful with Prielipp the rest of the season with the innings pitched high for him, maybe skipping him at times.
  24. FlyingFinn
    To get Varland back, yes I am making that trade. Mendez is seriously blocked since he apparently can't play 1B. Hill could be great but no promise he can harness his stuff to get it in the strike zone.
  25. FlyingFinn
    If Bell wasn't there, Larnach could DH, which opens up a corner OF spot vs. rh's. Bell shouldn't play 1B either and thus blocks others most times when he plays.
