If I didn't know any better, I'd think that keeping all your prospects in a role they won't be used in at the MLB level because you're afraid to commit them one way or the other would be considered a half measure. But that can't be right, cuz they don't do half measures- 47 replies

I knew the Twins would benefit from Festa in the pen at some point this year
-
El Buck es en fuego

Credit to the CF, that was a very nice throw
-
Why can't interference be reviewed?
-
Sure, but long term they must be looking at one or the other. Unless they're planning on bringing this bulk concept to the majors on a more permanent basis, which would be dumb, he's going to end up on one track or the other - starter or reliever If they're using this bulk concept with the thinking that he could pivot either direction from it (still dumb), then I would consider him to still be a starter candidate
-
Optioned is the key word there for me If they are still planning on keeping Klein semi-stretched out with the possibility of developing into a starter, then this move is a shrug for me. He's younger than some of the other potential shift-to-the-bullpen candidates, and they can't convert them all at once. But if they are already looking at him as a bullpen guy, then what are we doing here?

He went to Hambino High - many years later, but still. Is John Klein the new Kevin Bacon?
-
Paying it forward
-
I don't know if I trust the defense to pull off the intentionally-dropped infield fly trick
-
Dang it, I got nothin. Bird puns are my albatross
-
Maybe Klein is more of a one inning guy
-
That info's gonna be tough for them to swallow

If the playoffs started today, the AL bracket would look like this: The Rays (24-12) would host the Mariners (18-20) for the right to play the Yankees (25-12) The Guardians (19-19) would host the Tigers (18-20) for the right to play the A's (18-18)* In other words, one side of the bracket would have two teams on a 108+ win pace, while the other would have nobody over .500 Gary Bettman thinks this is a great bracket *EDIT: it's possible they could swap the Guardians and A's, but same difference

Rockies are Ghost of Twins Future
-
That is wild
-
Word is they've also been sliding into Louis Varland's DMs at three in the morning
-
Can you imagine an owner looking at that and being like, "You know what? They're right. I should sell." Reminds me of something a host once said at an awards show: If you want to make a political statement tonight, you can either give it during your acceptance speech onstage or whisper it to yourself in the bathroom mirror. They will be equally effective
-
I was gonna chastise Buck for missing the cutoff man until the replay showed that he got there late. Bell's on fire tonight
-
It always looks weird when Byron wears his red body armor with the lake unis
-
... you make Bell catch as punishment for getting Caratini killed with that throw
-
Man that was a rough swing from Caratini
-
Bell should consider trying to throw overhand
-
I can't believe I missed that one! To be fair, I was more preoccupied of other pastimes of that age such as making bathtub gin and contracting tuberculosis
-
That sac fly will be a grand slam once he hits puberty
