  1. Well...that's unacceptable. Jesus.
  2. Martin is just a really bad baseball player right now. 😢
  3. every position is "important". its just a fact that 1B is the easiest to fill. therefore, its the least important.
  4. Yep. If we're resigned to this fact, we should trade him. I don't think that's true, but if you do, Royce is simply not a valuable player and he would return way more than he's actually worth.
  5. Would love to see Lee play well enough to earn 2B, but man he really stunk. The last 89 PAs his OPS was 520. He didn't look outmatched and his peripherals suggest he should perform much better than that. But woof! I have a lot more faith in him being a good big leaguer than Julien, though, that's for sure.
  6. Which is slightly better than Miranda this year and way better than Miranda last year. And his arm is significantly stronger than Miranda's. But sure, let's move the better athlete and defender off the position based on a fabricated belief that it might help him stay healthier?
  7. And this is why anyone poo-pooing a Rich Hill signing are being stubborn. Is Rich Hill for sure better? No, but if we're playing important September games and in need of a start would I rather it be Dobnak, Hill, or Varland? I'm taking Hill.
  8. It's easy to say it was a mistake in hindsight, but the team did the 100% right thing by playing him at that position on that day. You can't be afraid to move ATHLETES around the field because you're afraid someone's body is made of glass.
  9. Dude has hit 230 in his minors career. He has made it up to AA, but even if he makes the show, he's going to be a backup infielder. They were completely right to trade him away. But sadly we had to take Margot in return so they won the trade by default.
  10. It really is shocking how bad Martin has been. What good is a utility man that can play many positions poorly?
  11. His bat is truly elite. To the point I could see him being like Nelson Cruz or Thome and just being a full time DH at 35 until their bat speed finally falls off.
  12. Which I'll say again, if we're seriously talking about moving him to 1B, trade him. Of course, no one serious is actually discussing it so its moot. But if we're talking about an admittedly elite bat that can't stay on the field, and now moving to 1B? Never heard an idea more ridiculous.
  13. If we're already talking about 1B we should honestly trade him.
  14. I mean...that's not even close to close? Which isn't to say I don't like Festa!
  15. Varland had a "good" day today, second and third time through the order batters only had an OPS of 823! But important to note only 2 Ks in 17 PAs. If I'm not mistaken that's a BABIP of 0.154.
  16. Great way to ruin the entire season. At least the Twins would replace the Yankees or Dodgers as every other fanbase's most hated team that way.
  17. They're 7-2 in the last games of homestands, if that means anything to you.
  18. you could have just stopped there
  19. No one's talking about benching potential. We're looking to remove Varland from the rotation because he's simply not a starting pitcher at this point in his career. Maybe he's like Lugo, and after some time in the big leagues he figures out how to face a batter a second time, but he should not be starting on a contender. I repeat again...there's over a quarter of the season remaining!
  20. So you can guarantee no further injury to the rotation? Nice, I'm relieved then.
  21. Honestly, I am very worried about Correa now. It's been over a month and there's no reason to believe he'll be better in another month. I will say though, Rosario might be worse than Castro at SS.
  22. And I don't know that anyone could describe the Twins SP situation as an injury barrage. What we're experiencing right now is typical SP woes. The Twins front office just haven't adequately managed the risk in their roster is what we're seeing.
  23. If you're trying to talk about stretch run depth and have to mention a player that hasn't pitched in a game since early April...yeah, you don't have depth. Our depth is so bad right now our #6 starter should probably never face a batter twice. Second time through the order his opponents bat 301/337/503.
  24. Honestly, he'd be an upgrade on Martin, so I wouldn't have minded it...
  25. Good. Varland can then move to the rotation, and helps it!
