With an average age of likely 50to 60 the assertion anyone on this board could score is hilarious hyperbole at best or grossly inaccurate at worst. We are more likely to have a member have a heart attack.
-
I am willing to bet 100% of the posters could not have scored on that play. He is likely the 3rd fastest player on the team right now with Buxtons injury. The ideal 13 player is player that can provide defensive value, be a pinch runner and have a decent contact bat and be productive all while getting minimal opportunities. The disdain of you and Harmon seems misplaced. Let’s get all the posters out to run. We might need a couple ambulances LOL.
-
Jackson is a single roster spot and has a positive WAR. His run last night as a pinch runner was the critical run in the game. There is ample chaff to go after. Gray, Roden, Martin. Positions where we have ample depth and individuals who can be optioned.
-
Why was our best stretch when Jeffers went down? who would you sign right now. Name 1 catcher available?
-
Name a catcher on the waiver wire as good as Jackson at catcher? I am ample fine in my fan hood. Without depth in the minors you are counting on luck to fill your hole. That’s sounds like excellent risk management Harmon.
-
What’s his War in the last 2 seasons. MLB doesn’t care what type of player you wer 5-10 years ago, it’s what you can do for me now. For a position that regularly has negative war, .7 WAR last year and .4 this year in limited opportunities. Look I can’t stop you from having you opinions but spamming the board 100 times a day goes beyond having an opinion. Look I am similar that I can be just as stubborn. If you can tell me who you think is good enough to fill in from the minors if Jeffers or Caratini gets hurt then I might think you have a point. Until then it doesn’t appear you are looking at the whole picture.n
-
He has conveniently avoided the topic of who would be the backup catcher if one of Jefferson or Caratini gets hurt. As of this year we don’t have any available competitive depth other than Jackson. That should be changing as soon as next year.
-
You either haven’t looked at the free agent list or you don’t know what you are talking about. There will be zero positive war catchers for $1.3 million. Maybe you can trade a 3-5 million excess prospect for a similar type catcher but you are greatly underestimating his worth because it doesn’t fit your agenda. Be happy Culpepper is up and stop the diatribe on Jackson.
-
We can say that about any position. Keeping Jackson is worth 3-5 million in trying to find another backup catcher.
-
How bad has defense been? We already have a square peg at 1st in Lewis. Lewis finally appears to be adjusting after 5 years. Not much different than Sabato.
-
He kept getting injured and prior to 2 of the last 3 games his bat has been pretty rusty. I was curious to see how they would handle the Rookies not on the 40 man. To me it appeared they would be conservative. It does not appear they will be. They can still manipulate service time if they wish, but I agree its doubtful if he is playing well. I think they still want to get the PPI award, I think they are of the opinion Jenkins has the better chance. It seems odd they are bringing up Culpepper but not Jenkins. If you are going to rip off the bandaid, rip it off on both with Buxton injured.
-
I think there is a chance they could assign him back to AAA before the end of the season if we are out of the running for a playoff spot. I think it tells you the front office is feeling a little desperate too doing this move a week or two earlier than likely they had planned.
-
Nice win. Lee, Lewis and Ober were big tonight. 57-59 Playoff odds 26%
-
Feels like Eddie Guardado to me. Even still finding a pitcher that is comfortable pitching the 9th is a very good revelation.
-
Nice win Twins
-
Who were you trading for him?
-
They got Kremer because if 1 pitcher got injured they are going to have Rojas or Gallagher pitch ever 5th day.
-
Well I’m glad after you bashed him for several days you like him now after 1 start.
-
So you like Kremer now LOL?
-
We have Bradley, Ober, and Kremer as your top 3 SP right now.
-
We have a starting pitching problem too.
-
NM
-
Boom Lee good job.
-
2-3 posters have 90% of the posts.
-
He got a hit . . . . By pitch.
