    So, I can check the box for consistency…

    You never can have too many left-handed-hitting outfielders, but maybe the Twins could spread the wealth around just a little.

    I’d be thrilled if he never wears that designation again.

    I’d love to see that happen, but he’ll have to trade in that iron glove he’s been hauling around.

    To me, Jenkins looks more like the guy who’s going to be able to make a difference now and in the future. While Rodriguez is intriguing, he’s also a bit of a china doll, hurt too often. I want to see the best team the Twins can put on the field now, and hope we can see them battle their way into the playoffs with some consistent, exciting baseball. With 2027 potentially a lost season as they wrangle over the CBA, we may not get that chance again until 2028.

    The Twins had a $23 million catcher before, back when $23 million was real money. But as things stand, Jeffers is a reliable right-handed bat who also is a plus behind the plate. If you’re afraid he’ll leave, pretend he’s a rental to see how deep the Twins might go int the playoffs. They’re unlikely to find a better one who’d be as good a fit. And if you’re afraid he’ll stay, well, I can think of worse things than a solid, right-handed-hitting catcher who sure looks like a team leader to me.

    A leader for sure. Not so sure about THE leader.

    Too bad there’s no one in St. Paul with some experience in center and a little pop in his bat.
  26. mluebker
    Sounds good to me.

    If they didn’t already have him on the roster, they’d be thrilled to trade for him as a short-term rental right-handed-hitting middle-of-the-order bat for a playoff run. So maybe just keep him and pretend that’s what he is.
  28. mluebker
    I think that’s good. They’ll probably will need him against the Dodgers.

    Amid all the talk about Kody Clemens’ modest statistics, low expectations, or whether a guy with his numbers even should be in the lineup regularly, he’s gone out there every day and done the best he can to help this team win. He’s made this season a whole lot more interesting than any of us had a right to hope or expect.

    I won’t argue with it. They have a shortstop performing well in AAA, which can’t be said about the big club. Are we figuring he won’t play as well there as the rotating cast of characters who have been filling in there since Lee moved to 3rd? I wonder how they could find out?
  34. mluebker
    …like a second baseman who’s never had to field a ricochet off a wall.
  35. mluebker
    I figure every call-up is a gamble, but they keep calling up the same guys and getting the same results. Culpepper and/or Jenkins at least would be something they haven’t tried. And who knows, maybe the vote of confidence is just the catalyst those guys need. Heck, even if they turn out to be streaky and have confidence issues like Royce Lewis, at least that’s an interesting team on the field.
