Coach Wheels's Achievements

  1. A) Buxton is healthy and Shelton plays him every day. B) Bradley is better than we thought and Ober is pitching very well, better than expected. C) While we still lack power, guys are getting clutch hits at important times. Offense is still a work in progress for sure. D) The division is awful and the American League in general isn't very good right now. Let's enjoy these 55 games and see where it goes.
  2. I don't think Kriedler and Gray can both be viable keepers; pick one and move on. Clemens, with his versatility, is an easy to give a deal to for 2027, sometime after July 1st
  3. This, 💯 The 1st step in fixing a problem is admitting you have a problem. The ego on this kid needs to be flushed and he has to admit that his plan is not working. If he does that, he can become an All-star
  4. Don't disagree but I don't think this organization wants to start his clock in May. I believe he'll be up this year at some point but July 1 is more reasonable than now, in my opinion.
  5. Agree 💯 with this. Culpepper can wait, starting his clock in a year where 75 wins will be viewed as a success seems silly. Let him play and have success in St. Paul and go slow.
  6. Does he? I don't see Zoll having the green light to make any decisions besides scanning the DFA market and finding 39 year old pitchers that no one else wants.
  7. SWR needs to come up with a plan B very quickly. His ERA is currently over 7 and there is no indication that he knows how to change speed and/or location with any amount of success. Last night was BP for the Marlins. Zeb up today, SWR could go to the IL tomorrow and maybe figure it out. "Arm fatigue" could be his diagnosis.
  8. I'll pump the brakes on what has been a very good 5 weeks for Lee. I don't believe SS is his long term position but I believe he can be a .270 hitter with doubles being part of his deal. Royce, Wallner, and Keaschall have got to figure it sooner rather than later. The rope on Royce and Wallner can't be very long right now
  9. This is the longest article I've ever read on coaching 3rd base but it might be a sign that we are officially out of articles to write on the squad 😀 I think this an above average coaching staff but they've been dealt a hand that can't win and the best cards in the deck will be gone by the 4th of July. Being a good teacher is important as a coach and this group is a middle school science class in major league baseball. Keep teaching coaches, I appreciate your time and effort.
  10. What the Twins did last July was undo multiple years of work in creating a bullpen that was as good as any in baseball. Tearing down an elite bullpen can't be fixed in one off-season, especially when you traded for LH OF'ers and starting pitchers.. We're going to be reading these articles for the entire summer and it's a drag. SELL THE TEAM, please!!!
  11. We can do an article a week this year on the failings of our bullpen, it will get old quickly. It would be nice to have Roden up and getting AB's soon so we can truly judge the trade.as a whole. Right now, Jays are lapping us.
  12. 100% agree. I will state that the best CF of my lifetime watching the Twins did move to RF at the end of his career. 5 years from now, that might Buxton's move but for now, he's our guy.
  13. Banda could definitely be a DFA option, kind of forgot about him in this process. Outman, with Lewis coming off the IL, could also be gone. When there are 15 guys that are just "ok" on your roster, lots of ways to move people up and down.
  14. The article is a little contradicting, we're making a case a poor offensive player replacing a horrible offensive player, but I'm 100% on board with Outman being DFA'd. I have little interest in Kriedler being our defensive specialist, I'd prefer Roden come up and get some AB's to see who he is. I realize he's another LH bat but the organization did that to themselves so, it is what it is.
