    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  31. Maybe Next Year
    If Shelton manages the same way Baldelli did there is no need to wonder who the #3 hitter is because the batting order changes almost every day. There is no consistency - it's all based on analytics. Seems like Shelton is in the same mindset based on his use of over 150 different lineups per season.

    What’s your problem with Gladden?

    Here's another name I would love to see interviewed - Dan Gladden.

    Once again Falvey shows his brilliance! What an incredible move.

    Last year 3 of the 6 AL teams that made the playoffs had a LOWER payroll than the Twins. It’s not about payroll. It’s all about player development and solid coaching. Something Rocco never brought to the table with his BS analytics. Don’t agree- tell me when the last time the NY Yankees won a World Series with their $240 million payroll. I truly believe we have more talent on this team than people realize. With the proper coaching staff stressing fundamentals on defense as well as at the plate I believe we could be very competitive. For all you naysayers - when was the last time our hitters were taught to take an outside pitch to the opposite field instead of pulling the ball!
