With this season over why is Buxton still with the team when he should be looking into the surgery he needs. Why do players wait for seasons end when they could have the required surgery. He is not going to make a difference in the end result.

Who Deserves the Blame for Another Second-Half Collapse by the Twins?
-
People are missing the point I was making this team will look to sign Lewis to a Buxton type deal and he will remain a Twin for years to come. When he and Wallner should be moved in the OS so the team doesn't have to deal with someone who is in St Paul or Slumping for the Twins. Until the other night when the game was over and no pressure Lewis was 5 for 59 or some ridiculous number. He needs and they need a change of scenery.

Coming out of ST everyone knew this team wasn't going to be good. They lost Lopez and anyone who thought Lee was the answer at SS was asleep. Moving on to 2nd base and Keaschall who because of a weak arm was positioned there. Signing Bell to play 1st base knowing he was not good on defense. Hoping that Lewis would be a player from the past that didn't happen. He is the new Buxton,a player who is hurt or slumping. Bringing Buxton back to play in the Field of Dreams game was a bad idea. Taking half the season to figure out who's at 1st and 2nd,SS and 3rd cost them probably 10 games. Who on this site if you were a GM would trade for Ryan after seeing him give up 6 homeruns in a game and look really bad in his next outing. There was talk that Larnach was traded to the Astros but the owner stopped the deal. And then of course thinking Wallner playing himself back to St Paul because he struck out 50% of the time. The trades that Zoll made to upgrade the pitching haven't worked. Hoffman is a bust,he walks too many hitters. Kremer can't pitch 3 or 4 innings without giving up multiple runs. Minter seems to be a after thought for Shelton to use and he's a FA this OS.

They made changes to Bradley's starts and now to Prielipp's as well. Both were giving up hits and runs in the 1st inning and pitch counts were high. Bradley is throwing 10 to 15 of his warmup at game speed. They are limiting Prielipp's innings because of his injury history. These last two games are certainly not the norm for this team or any team. Scoring 26 runs happens far and few times in a month in 2 games. With Kremer pitching tonight the Tigers may score 10 or more. I hope that's not the case,but he seems to lose focus in the 4th or 5th inning.

If he really wants to play next year he should be having the surgery this week. To many players want to get treatment and then realize its January and the injury is no better. If he goes that route he will lose the 27 season. The 26 season is over and having him on the field for a handful of games is silly.

All the talk about not trading Ryan on or before the deadline is silly. Every GM saw him give up 6 HR's in a game and also not look good in the next outing as well. He has shown to not be able to pitch a whole season in his career. They had to move both Jeffers and Larnach because you now see the affect of them playing for a team that everyone is saying they won't be on next year. If the team still wanted Jeffers you have to think an offer would have been made by now. And Larnach is playing to show other teams what he can do and I think he has fallen off because of no trade.

The season was over after the Phillies and Padres series,because of being swept. Then to lose 2 to the A's put the cherry on top. The best part of the season is no more Rocco ball. Shelton has allowed the SP to go longer and the players most of the time don't just swing for the fence. They still have holes to fill in the infield and OF. If and when the 27 season starts they need to decide who they are. And hopefully they don't start moving players all over the field like this year.

The Future is Now for the Minnesota Twins
David Maro replied to Sam Caulder's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Culpepper and Jenkins look good for the future,but let's be honest with Keaschall he's a player without a position. His glove is bad but his arm is worse. There are kids playing in the Little League WS with better arms. And does the team really want a DH with warning track power. The only position is 2nd base and that has players lining up who will play it better. Unless Lewis is moved this off season 1st base is out of the question. He may be a trade chip to get a SP or BP arm.- 67 replies

If people listen to Shelton he asks Buxton before every game after warm-ups are you good to go. That sounds like he has concerns on weather or not Buxton wants to play hurt or not. Sometimes the manager has to do what's best for the player and the team. If a Dr tells you the injury is not going to get worse that doesn't mean you are good to go. The next 2 weeks are going to be the most important for the future of the season. Having a underpreforming Buxton in the lineup may be the teams downfall.

The big problem is Jenkins will be on the roster September 1st,but the White Sox are in town August 28th. Buxton has been a player in waiting his whole career and his team can't wait any longer. It would be wise to put him on IL Thursday and have Jenkins ready for the White Sox. With all the division games ahead the team can't wait for Buxton. The next problem is the BP starting to show the inability to throw strikes. They are coming in and walking the 1st hitter they face. They have to clean that up now or it will end the season.

Missing out on bases loaded and 1 out again was the turning point of the game. Good teams add on and bad teams don't. If they want to stay in the hunt this has to change today not next week.

It is August 19th and teams will add 1 position player and 1 pitcher September 1st. That is when you will see Jenkins and Ryan will be back. As far as Buxton goes who really cares if he is in CF or 1 of the other outfield positions. He plays 100 games or less in 162 game season. At his age and health history who thinks he will be on the field for more games go forward. It's time to move forward next year with a whole new outfield.

Twins 4, Braves 2: This Time, Bullpen Holds
David Maro replied to Matthew Taylor's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
It's time for Jeffers and Buxton to s__t or get off the pot. This team scoring in the 1st and zip after that isn't going to work for long. You can't load the bases with no outs again and again and not score. Time and time again man on 2nd no outs and can't even get them to 3rd. They aren't playing baseball when things like this happen.- 34 replies
