    💯 accurate. The expectations were zero to start the year, defensively this is a bad team. Offensively, they've played well enough to be 5 games under .500 but I refuse to give Zoll and Pohlad credit for adding $8 million at the deadline for guys that are ok, at best. This team will change over the winter; we need a #1 catcher, and the OF needs to have actual OF'ers not DH's. It will be interesting to see who we keep and who moves on.

    Seems like a lot of questions for a guy to answer in 1 month. Culpepper looks be a very good player but this road to, let's say 90 wins, seems long. Upgrades defensively and offensively are really important and, if payroll stays at $110 million, our young guys will have to be good.

    A qualifying offer to Jeffers would most likely be north of $20 million/year. I don't see the Twins doing that, with any player, in the foreseeable future.

    Buck's last HR was June 26th. It is very hard to count on him for more than 100 games/year

    Yes. In 2025, they basically sold low and in 2026, they bought low. The Pohlad way

    Injuries have always been part of a teams success or lack of success. Great/Good teams have depth with respect to talent and that is a shortcoming for our Twins. The pitching staff and the OF have had key injuries this year and the guys we've rolled out when injuries have happened to those 2 groups, we've struggled.

    Josh Bell is a pro and he's been a pro all summer for this team. No way he comes back with all the young guys on the doorstep but, if this team makes the playoffs, it will because Bell has a special last 5 weeks.

    15-18 outs would awesome for 4 or 5 starts.

    There's no room for Austin Martin on this roster next year. Culpepper and Jenkins make Martin expendable
  31. Coach Wheels
    Agree; you want Larnach or Keaschall as your LF, that's the question for the organization. We could also start a healthy list of the number of Twins right now who have no position and figure out what they look like defensively in 2027.
  32. Coach Wheels
    Jenkins can come Saturday and let it rip, not sure what we're waiting for. Lackey and Tait is interesting. Both are shown to be multiple years away but with Jeffers gone this winter, is Jackson the backup to Caratini or does Tait get a real look?
  33. Coach Wheels
    Do you Larnach in a platoon DH role or do you see him moved? I can go either way with Larnach, he's had a good year offensively
  34. Coach Wheels
    I was thinking the same thing. Stop referring to Keaschall as an OF, Roden is proving daily that he can't play 150 games/year, and Martin can be moved whenever. It's crazy that this team is 3 games under .500 and there are about 12 guys on the roster that can be moved.
  35. Coach Wheels
    I agree that Rojas in the 7th or 8th instead of Rogers is the correct play. Rogers was a mess.last night and there is a place earlier in the game for Taylor. Hoffman, Morris, and Gomez are the last 6 outs in my opinion.
