    While Jenkins has had more than his share of injuries, his most recent injury does not conjure images like "made of glass". He smashed into the wall.
  2. Jeff K
    How low can you go? Man, the entire Twins system is under a dark moon. Festa had a set back. Jenkins looks bad, but we can hope for the best. Emma took batting practice...so that's good. And Ryan...what's next?
  3. Jeff K
    And Festa had a setback. Can the news for the Twins be any worse? Jeez!
  4. Jeff K
    Sadly, if Ryan needs TJ surgery that is the ONLY way he could remain a twin as his market value will be diminished.
  5. Jeff K
    Bradley has been excellent and the Twins are lucky to have the Rays as trade partners. Twins pitchers would all benefit from improved defense behind them.
  6. Jeff K
    The Twins bullpen is truly a disaster and this past offseason, virtually nothing was done except bringing in retreads and cut outs (old music store reference). Whether that is what ownership dictated or what Zoll wanted to do, it was destined to fail.
  7. Jeff K
    I was agreeing with you.

    Wallner needs a demotion...yesterday.

    Roster construction by Frankenstein.
  10. Jeff K
    This was the trade that sent me over the edge. The others were pretty good and the Bradley for Jax trade was/is great.
  11. Jeff K
    I agree and with the promotion of Ben Ross, there is an opening at SS with Wichita.
  12. Jeff K
    And to quote Paul Simon: "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest".
  13. Jeff K
    I don't believe Raya is a top 20 prospect. Until he can throw strikes, he is, at best, a longshot.
  14. Jeff K
    I have the same question regarding SS at St. Paul. Is Culpepper going to be called up to play SS? Or 2nd and demoting Keaschall? I think Keaschall deserves more leeway, but the Saints have two starting shortstops and two back up shortstops. Hopefully Marek Houston moves up to Wichita with that opening at SS. I also noted that Gabriel Gonzalez played first base. I haven't been paying attention, has he been getting time there? It is such a position of need and Gabriel seems to be hitting pretty well. If he moves up as a first baseman, that likely means the end of Clemens with the Twins.
  15. Jeff K
    Yes; bring up Emma. Stated differently; "Heck Yes". And play him. Outman has no value and no team is going to pick him up. But I don't think he should be in St. Paul either. Just let him go. And I'd send Wallner down, but with Outman injured, I'm not sure that Gonzales is hitting well enough to replace him.
  16. Jeff K
    Furthermore, you can't hide your lying eyes. Just looking at numbers doesn't cut it.
  17. Jeff K
    I agree with your statement, but also think he is a decent back-up 2nd baseman. His primary position should be left field.
  18. Jeff K
    This is why we can't have nice things. Dang it!
  19. Jeff K
    100%. I saw a snarky comment that basically said Twins prospects are nothing except possibly Jenkins. Perhaps that's true, but you don't know until you give these guys extended opportunities. And the current configuration of the Twins roster is NOT built to be successful; outside of the starting pitching who are being hurt by the terrible fielding.
  20. Jeff K
    I don't want to be too negative, but outside of our starting pitching, the holes on the field are huge. Our fielding is consistently poor at SS, RF, 1B and 2nd. I'm still hopeful that Keaschall will become a good 2nd baseman. We knew the relief pitching would be poor as well. Let's hope the youngsters at AAA are ready to go. I'd like to see Emma and Culpepper called up sooner rather than later to shore up the defense and hopefully hitting.
  21. Jeff K
    Actually, that depends on who is called up. Kaelen Culpepper is an upgrade at shortstop and Emanuel Rodriguez would be an upgrade in RF.
  22. Jeff K
    I am 100% on board with that call out. Emanuel Rodriguez hit his 4th dinger yesterday at 117 MPH. He should be in the Twins lineup in one of the corner positions. And Kaelen Culpepper ought to get a chance at Shortstop. NOW!
  23. Jeff K
    I saw a comment about moving Royce to first base pretty soon. I think that is interesting and the Twins would need to do a good job of demonstrating to Royce that it's a good move for him. Certainly his fielding at first base ought to be an improvement over our current options. Moving Lee to 3rd (maybe temporarily) and bringing up Culpepper seems like an interesting move. It might be rushing Culpepper, but why not try? This also enables Ben Ross to move up to St. Paul (almost wrote Rochester...jeez) and Marek Houston moves up to Wichita. Moving Royce to first base is probably the end of the line for Clemens. Oh well. Obviously moves in the Outfield need to take place. Get Outman out of there and decide how best to get Wallner unlocked.
  24. Jeff K
    I am looking forward to the next re-ranking of Twins Prospects. Of course, I'm referencing Ben Ross. Wow!
  25. Jeff K
    That is the easy route. I would MUCH prefer Culpepper. Maybe for only a week. Plenty of players could come off the roster to make room.
