  1. That'd be like giving the owner in the film Major League credit for the team turning around their season.
  2. Ok, well, he's still a Pohald so he can gtfo. Sell the team.
  3. You're delusional, calling that a near impossible ball. You've been watching Twins corner outfielders for too long it seems.
  4. Irrelevant question. The appropriate question is does it help the Twins in 2027 or 2028. It's very fun to have seen them sweep the Tigers, but no one should be thinking this is team is now in contention.
  5. I'm fine with getting rid of him, but I don't want him replaced with a player that I actually want to get playing time. Someone like Kreidler? Fine. Doesn't really matter much who the 13th man is.
  6. This would be like celebrating the President when the gas prices inevitably fall over the coming days. Anyone doing so looks like a fool.
  7. I know this is a joke, but I've been saying it here for a few years now. You're allowed to follow, and even cheer for, another team. The Twins aren't loyal to you, and you don't need to be loyal to them. Baseball fandom is most often born out of family heritage so there's friction. But we live in an age where you can watch or listen to any game you want, from nearly anywhere you want for only $150 a year. I will always hope for the organization to turn the ship around, but the Pohlads deserve nothing but misery, and the Twins will only experience misery whilst they're still in charge.
  8. If Zoll was a half decent GM, he'd be unconcerned. But he sucks, so he is.
  9. I'm all for just waiving him. Come July he's really only going to return a pitcher that projects as a RP in AA anyways. Just cut him and believe that a team will pick up his salary. A team like the Guardians could really use him.
  10. Mets 5th OF, Tyrone Taylor, has essentially the same skillset as Outman (albeit better in almost every regard), is getting paid 4x, and is certain to get more playing time than Outman. But I've not heard a single Mets fan complain about Tyrone Taylor. The Mets traded for him, already a backup OF, out of options, specifically for this role. That's what good roster construction looks like.
  11. Not every roster spot is going to, nor should get, equal playing time. That's my point by saying it's not little league. This seems like the first time you're even considering this concept, which is why I stated it, albeit rudely, in your opinion.
  12. If you want to argue for the removal of Larnach, Wallner, or Bell, I'm all for that. But those players leaving are how someone like Rodriguez or Jenkins comes up and gets playing time. Not Outman. Like I said, Outman certainly sucks and I will weep no tears for him when he's gone, but the presence of a ****** 5th OF is not harming this team.
  13. All this hand wringing about the Twins 5th OF is really indicative of fans losing sight of the forest for the trees. The Twins don't suck because of the 5th OF on pace for 160 plate appearances, and fans need to really stop fretting over that player. It was true with Keirsey and Margot too. Doesn't mean those players are good, but they're the least of the Twins problems. Th reason he's on the roster is obvious. Neither Roden nor Martin are trusted defenders in CF and Rodriguez and Jenkins obviously shouldn't be backups on a major league roster. This isn't little league. A player like Outman only getting minimal playing time can actually help develop other players, and find talent. There are about 6000 PAs to go around. If Outman is only getting 150, that leaves 300 PAs for the rest of the team to divvy up.
  14. I think extending pitchers that aren't locks in the rotation would be foolish. But Keaschall would be wise with the potential changes in arbitration, early years for team controlled players coming up next season. Those years could potentially become significantly more expensive.
