    Gee- just a month and a half ago the majority of the posters and writers on this web page said Lee was a bust. No defense, no offense. Send him down, 😂

    Good grief! His bat speed has increased but is still too slow, he extends his right arm too quick, he rotate a hair too early, his contact point is too far back, he’s not hitting for power, blah, blah, blah. How about this - his strikeout rate is 18%. That means he is putting the ball in play. I don’t care if he ever hits a home run. Singles and doubles would be just fine. If his batting average is .270 or higher and he drives in 80 or more runs who gives a damn. All this emphasis on hitting home runs is ridiculous. It is and has been detrimental to many players.

    I agree with you on the set up or closer role. I felt that the article was way too fixated on perceived flaws hence my sarcastic response.
  21. Maybe Next Year
    After reading this article I am left wondering how he ever made it to the majors. With all the “flaws” he has it doesn’t sound like there is any hope whatsoever for him to be a good pitcher. - no horizontal movement on his fastball -can’t get to the bottom of the zone - easy for batters to spot his breaking ball unexceptional carry on his fastball -low strike out rate - change up thrown at different arm angle and arm speed - uses a circle change grip There is no hope for this guy! 😂😂😂

    Omg- what will we ever do about Ober. Velocity is way down. Get rid of him. He’s washed up. His OBP, WHIP, LGBTQ, XXMP, FRPG, BS, and numerous other stats are horrible!
  26. Maybe Next Year
    Why play him at 3rd if he doesn’t have a strong arm? Seems like 2nd is more suitable.

    I'm certain that most everybody on Twins Daily will rip me a new one for this comment. Byron Buxton, David Ortiz and Nelson Cruz are just a few major leaguers whose career got off to a slow start. Yes, Lewis has been disappointing but it is way too early to give up on him. The talent is there.
  28. Maybe Next Year
    Wow- what a condescending jerk! You must be so proud of yourself!

    Do those stats take into consideration that your hitters are going up against the ace of the opposing team? I highly doubt it. A runner on 3rd has more ways to score than just a hit. Passed ball, wild pitch, infield or outfield error, sac fly, suicide or safe squeeze. I'll take my chances on 1 out and a runner on 3rd. Especially when my team is facing the other teams ace and our bats are cold.

    So Shelton laments the Twins were 1-12 with runners in scoring position. Hey Derek, our only run was scored on a sacrifice fly. We had runners on first and second with no outs 3 times. Maybe if you would have played some small ball and actually bunted runners to 2nd and 3rd we might have had a chance. But no, let's swing away and hit into double play after double play. I was hoping when Rocco was fired we would finally get a manager who knew how to manage a game. I guess not.

    Hey, what more can you expect when every writer of most every article on this site want to jettison Lewis, Lee, Wallner, Jeffries etc. etc..., Of course they aren't going to provide the entire picture.
  32. Maybe Next Year
    So let me get this straight. The Twins supposedly have one of the best farm systems in baseball, consistently ranked in the 10 or better. We traded away 10 players last year for more prospects. Now you want us to trade away our best pitcher for even more prospects. Is the goal to maintain a top level farm system at the cost of the MLB club? Hang on to Ryan and let’s bring up some of these youngsters and see what they can do. We don’t need more prospects.

    OMG- Wallner sucks, Lee sucks, Lewis sucks, Buxton sucks, everybody on the roster sucks! Enough of this nonsense! Enough of all the stats and analyzing things to death. Before we toss everybody into the trash let’s see what a new manager with a new perspective and vision can do to get the most out of these players. Lord knows Baldelli hadn’t a clue how to develop players. Maybe, just maybe Shelton does.

    I've gotta laugh at most of the posts on this site. A few years back everybody was singing the praises of Lewis and Lee and now, after just a few years under a horsecrap manager everybody is giving up on them. Let's play them every day and keep their place in the batting order consistent and see what happens. Good grief! Once again all those analytics are replacing common sense. Oh my, bat angle at contact is 2* too high. Putting the ball in play but not being rewarded with hits is absolutely horrible. Over and over things are being analyzed way too much. Enough of the nonsense.
  35. Maybe Next Year
    Seriously? You’ve got to be joking. Trade Lewis for an inadequate defensive shortstop whose batting numbers aren’t much better than Lewis- that’s absolutely crazy! Lewis has much more upside.
