    Do we know why Jenkins didn't play? Scheduled rest?

    10 Walks in 12.1 IP in May, followed by 2 Walks over 25.2 innings in May & June. That can't be random. Was it a mechanical change? If not mechanical, I assume it's psychological. Will be interesting to see if he can keep it rolling in the majors. A lot of success in the majors comes down to mental resilience.

    I often forget this, so just posting in case others do as well & find it helpful. The Twins website does a great job detailing injury status & updates. Includes pretty detailed commentary & timelines. I often find myself wondering about status & forgetting where to check. Link: https://www.mlb.com/twins/news/twins-injuries-and-roster-moves

    Saying "we don't know yet" is ok. The Twins traded present for future production at last year's deadline. We don't know nearly enough yet to know whether the future production will pan out - that's the nature of trading current starters for prospects. Of the deals they made, I'd make every one of them again outside of Varland (although even there we don't have enough info). The Correa move was a pure salary dump. Duran for Tait & Abel I'd do again in a heartbeat. Jax for Bradley, yes please. (Bradley's already been far more valuable than Jax this year - 1.6 WAR vs. 0.2) Varland & France for Rojas & Roden - probably not, but Rojas & Roden both still time to make this a big win. Brock Stewart, Castro, and Bader weren't in the intermediate-term plans either way, so if any of those prospects pan out it's a small victory.

    The AI comment was meant to be a joke, I apologize. It's a very good article, and I appreciate the clarification.
  23. Possumlad
    "A lot of that is buoyed by his four home runs and 10 walks, and his .383 OPS (yes, OPS, not OBP) casts a cloud over anyone who wants to believe that he’s a competent hitter." ? Kreidler does not have a 0.383 OPS. Was this paragraph written by AI?
  24. Possumlad
    I wouldn't trade Abel and Tait for Duran right now. Abel's value has increased significantly since the trade.

    This makes sense and I hadn't considered it, thanks.
  29. Possumlad
    A lower-minors "rehab" assignment for a top prospect who isn't in the Majors to begin with is beyond absurd. Lol, what are we doing here? Jenkins should have been in the AAA line-up the first day he was ready.
  30. Possumlad
    Culpepper's among the only Twins top prospects without major (or ongoing minor) injury issues the last 2 years. Hopefully he's back ASAP & it doesn't turn in to anything beyond a blip.

    Interesting perspective, as I felt the exact opposite. Caserta almost never stopped talking, and nearly all of it was superfluous. Trevor could hardly get a word in, and I remember thinking many times that Gregg had been talking for a full minute or two without providing a single word of entertainment or insight. Made the broadcast feel like a peppy, vacuous morning sports talk "roundtable" (an insufferable format).
