    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.

    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

    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. Coach Wheels
    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. Coach Wheels
    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. Coach Wheels
    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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. Coach Wheels
    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. Coach Wheels
    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. Coach Wheels
    This article could have been reduced to 1 line: "They are who we thought they'd be."
  14. Coach Wheels
    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.
  15. Coach Wheels
    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.
  16. Coach Wheels
    He did play in a career high 106 games last year so Google could be wrong.
  17. Coach Wheels
    The longest streak of healthy games for Lewis in his career is 35; according to Google. I'm not sure how he continues to be someone we count on.
  18. Coach Wheels
    Buxton has been a very good Twin. I would not put him on the level of guys who won rings in 87 and 91 or Killebrew, Oliva, Carew, and maybe Allison but, when he's been healthy he's been all the Twins hoped.for. I do believe the right thing to do is get him to a contender and let him try to win a ring but, if not, he'll be a very good leader for this group.
  19. Coach Wheels
    4 million reasons not to waive him but he doesn't move the needle for me right now
  20. Coach Wheels
    Tend to agree with this take. While all 3 have the "potential" of being very good major league players, this organization is in no position to extend players on potential. There is a ton of work to be done in drafting players, developing players, and then paying players. This ownership group isn't part of the solution right now.
  21. Coach Wheels
    He can get better by practicing while Gray continues to hit. When he stops hitting, run Lee back out there.
  22. Coach Wheels
    I would play Gray until he has 3 straight games without hits. Either Lee gets better with the bat or the Twins move on.
  23. Coach Wheels
    I mean 50% of his hits are home runs. In August, if he has 100 hits.............🤔
  24. Coach Wheels
    I watched his start Saturday and came away encouraged. I was surprised he came out for the 5th but velocity was still very good for 80+ pitches and it being March. Talk me in late June and see how i feel then, but Taj was good Saturday
  25. Coach Wheels
    I was impressed with Bradley's velocity, into the 5th inning, good to see. 4 hits won't win many games but it did yesterday, I'll take it.
