    I definitely appreciate this concern, I just think that in the modern game players are asked to move around more, both in position and batting order, than in the past. Like it or not, it's the game. The Dodgers do this kind of maneuvering constantly and it has worked out well for them. More importantly though, aren't you really describing a utility player. Their whole value is derived in their versatility and it has been that way for decades. As disappointing as it is to say, that's where Royce Lewis is at. He's busted out as a starter. There are 1000 guys who work just as hard and who "want it" as much as Royce down in the minors. He's not a #1 draft pick anymore, just a guy fighting for an MLB job. The Twins have given him every possible opportunity to stick in the majors. He didn't take them up on it, and now things are different for Royce. We will see how he adapts.

    I think the problems with this argument are 1) Royce was significantly worse under Shelton and 2) he may well have received that kind of coaching under the previous regime. Which is course is why his past comments are relevant. If he was that resistant to a position change maybe he was resistant to coaching too.

    You really need to take a deep breath, man.

    Wow. It sure sounds like you are the one working through some anger issues. Lighten up, Francis.

    I actually respect and appreciate that he wears his emotions on his sleeve and actually lets some personality through. So tired of the Rocco-like corporate speak from athletes. Unfortunately I am generally unimpressed with what actually comes out of his mouth. I'll throw out the day he tossed out the "I don't do the slump thing" comment as the inflection point. In fact you could say his entire career since uttering those words has been one giant ever-deepening slump. Perhaps the most on the nose "don't taunt the baseball gods" lesson ever imparted on a player.

    Love it as long as they actually play him. Give him the chance to make it impossible to send him back down!

    Oof Yep that's how it works Royce Agree to disagree

    I for one am glad the guy who calls himself Fire Dan Gladden is above personal attacks!

    Just so I'm clear. A 75 pace win team is a positive worth enjoying? Sounds like loser talk to me.

    For the 5000th time, a guy with the name Fire Dan Gladden shaming other posters for being negative, without a sliver of self-awareness, is absolutely hilarious. I will never not laugh at it. Never change, guy who wakes up every morning thinking some random radio announcer must be fired.

    Making any move with an eye toward "contention" is just going to push back the inevitable rebuild longer. This is an old, bad team that is going nowhere. Play the kids, even if it means some of them struggle.

    Stealing this from Nick Nelson: Before the season started, Jackson ranked 588th in OPS out of 592 MLB hitters with 400+ PA since 2021.

    The Athletic's business model is quite explicitly to destroy local sports pages, and they've been very successful at it. Gleeman knew this when he took the job and seemed completely fine with it until it began to affect him personally, so I'm having a hard time mustering up any tears for Gleeman. "Sure, I took a job with Eliminate Local Sports Journalism Inc., but I never thought I they'd eliminate ME!" Keep doing what you're doing, Twins Daily. And whatever you do, don't sell out to a private equity firm or hedge fund or Athletic or any other of these vultures who believe to their core that profit is the only thing that ever matters in life.

    Yep Correa is the 2nd highest paid position player on our roster.
