    Adding Julien and Lee just makes that lineup so much deeper. No, but see above. If Julien and Lee have 2B covered in the future, Keaschall needs to add some utility to his game. To me it says that the Twins love his bat and they are trying to give him more options to be called up in 2025 and 2026.

    Lots of good pitching performances - Festa, Raya, Morris, Hall, Castro, Yanez.
  3. FlyingFinn
    Ah, maybe not the Pirates for long. He has been DFA'd.

    Anyone could have taken Helman in the Rule 5 draft this year. Age and recent injuries probably prevented that. He has played a lot of SS this year due to Lee's injury but he is really a super utility like Willi Castro. My impression is that his defense is pretty good. At AAA, when healthy all year, he should hit about .300 with 20 HR's and 20 SB's. Just seems like a guys that should be in MLB but never gets a chance. I actually don't think the Twins would get much in trade for him and I don't think he will be called up unless Castro is injured or there are a slew of injuries.

    I would say the starting rotation has been about what I expected overall. Lopez, Varland and Ober worse than expected. Ryan, Paddack, SWR, and overall starters health better than expected.

    No, but all the minor league teams/coaches have a different mission than the Twins (whose mission is to win). They are to develop players, specifically ones that could make it to MLB. Those players play 5 or 6 games per week, bat in the top 4 in the batting order and don't get platooned in the minors.
  7. FlyingFinn
    Nope. Keirsey is still injured. Hasn't played a game all month and could down for weeks.

    Langenberg got moved up to High A Cedar Rapids today. With Lewis coming back, Whorff gets shifted back to Cedar Rapids as well. Both should be good and much needed for the Kernels as they have been struggling a little since Matthews and Morris got moved up.

    I also thought Kirilloff was supposed to be a great defensive first baseman. The Twins really were planning for him to take over 1B. Signing Santana was probably a sign that they have changed their mind on that. The organizational draft backup was Sabato. He has been mostly terrible in the minors though he is doing okay in repeating AA this year, in a very small sample size due to injury. The Twins are a big mystery as to who will play 1B, even in 2025.

    Except that Emma Rodriguez is also on the IL again as he reinjured a bad thumb that already had him on the IL a few days earlier. Those can take time to heal or you play at less than your best. I don't think we see him on the Twins this year.
  11. FlyingFinn
    Sure is a lot of complaining about the strike zone almost every game. Everybody should be calling for the robo umps.
  12. FlyingFinn
    With that slide last night, he may be out for awhile again. A thumb injury usually means you aren't 100% for quite some time. I actually don't see him being called up this year as these injuries keep slowing his progress.
  13. FlyingFinn
    Ah, Emma Rodriguez, don't dive head first into a base when returning from a hand injury. Go feet first.
  14. FlyingFinn
    I listened on the radio. Should Margot have caught that ball in the 1st inning? Would Kepler have caught it?
  15. FlyingFinn
    And wa-la, Zebby Matthews is off the development list and Nowlin goes on it. I swear that list is just a way to inflate your roster limit.
  16. FlyingFinn
    With Wichita's bullpen faltering and blowing so many saves this year, why not promote Velez and/or Yanez?
  17. FlyingFinn
    There is actually a good reason now. Keirsey is on the IL and possibly could be there for weeks.
  18. FlyingFinn
    For now, Okert is the best we have. He's terrible (except for the last game) when coming in with runners on. Much prefer him and Thielbar to come in with an out or two and face only lh's. With Thielbar's late start I'm still giving him time to return to form (but I think this is his last year as his bad streaks seem to last longer now), but to figure that out in low leverage situations first.

    MLB according to the article by @Nick Nelson

    Replacing Taylor with Margot seems to have been done to decrease the K's and has also resulted in less homers. But Taylor's season isn't any better, batting .198 with 1 HR in 126 AB's. Interesting also that a bad Julien has actually been better than Polanco, who is hitting .195 with 5 HR's and is injured again.

    "both Walker Jenkins and Brooks Lee were activated from their rehab assignments as well." Why did Jenkins get pulled early? Usually only happens on rehab assignments.
  22. FlyingFinn
    I think Farmer starts every game against LH's at 2B. Castro will play either LF or CF.
  23. FlyingFinn
    7th in ERA and 6th in FIP. That's kind of close.
  24. FlyingFinn
    Wow, great stat that I didn't know. Our team stats are quite different if you lump Cleveland, New York and Baltimore into one group and put the rest of the opponents in another group (not that I actually have any of them).
  25. FlyingFinn
    Our Acuna is with our FCL team. Bryan Acuna is off to a nice start, 6 for 12 with 3 doubles.
