    The Twins seem to have a lot of prospects who end up on the roster as one dimensional players as the team tries to fill gaps. They struggle, then we all end up talking about how the Twins should try to trade them for other prospects. YMMV, but that’s what I’m seeing.

    It would be nice if the Twins would let a guy develop a little longer and then be able stay when he finally gets here, instead of rushing him onto the roster, expect him to rescue a team perpetually struggling with mediocrity, then bouncing him back to St. Paul when he doesn’t immediately live up to expectations.

    I love the optimism and the public reminder to Tom Pohlad of what he promised. But I have no confidence that it's going to happen.

    No more fixer-uppers until they have the current ones fixed.

    Right now, Bell is doing what he does best, hitting the ball. And I think that has more value to a wildcard team (hopefully) than another low end bullpen guy.

    When I was a kid, I figured they both were Harmon Killebrew with some sort of previously unknown superpower!

    I stumbled on that as well. Maybe “deep, but cloudy.”

    Put me down as a fan of this original and not so much of the various alternates that have become so popular recently. When you have a classic—Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Red Sox, Cardinals, Braves—you showcase it.

    We’re not going to see another championship team unless there’s an organizational shift from defensive versatility to defensive excellence. Too many young guys on the roster whose best option is going to be DH because they never learned to play a position well enough to own it.
  30. mluebker
    It’s the new “Twins way.” No one really gets to learn a position well or play it regularly—that archaic approach never works. Meanwhile, does Kody have any brothers?
  31. mluebker
    Yeah, he looks completely comfortable out there. What luck that they pulled RF out of the hat when they decided it was time to move him someplace where his sparkling defensive skills could really be showcased. Heck, maybe this is exactly the move that will destroy his confidence entirely.
  32. mluebker
    I’m glad to hear everyone in the lineup doesn’t need to be a power hitter. Now, if they just could decide to teach prospects to play one position well, instead of 3-4 adequately, the Twins might start looking like a team that can win, instead of a hodge-podge roster of good intentions and meager results.
  33. mluebker
    Both the article and the comments here underscore just how confusing it is to try to figure out the Twins’ roster moves mean these days. All of us want to believe there’s a plan of some kind, but what it might be remains an open question. Other than trying to assure every position player but Buxton and Jeffries can play at least three positions and never know when or where they’ll be in the lineup, I’m not sure there is a plan.
  34. mluebker
    If Lewis remains with the Twins (which assumes he rediscovers how to hit MLB pitching, otherwise he’s gone at the trade deadline), first base is his destiny.
  35. mluebker
    The biggest surprise to me is reading that Justin Verlander still is pitching and that he’s in AAA on a rehab stint.
