    Very glad to see Diaw moved up. He earned it. Houston should be moved up soon, as well. We're all ready for Culpepper. Jenkins and ERod keep getting hurt, might just have to call them up and try to get a few healthy games at Target Field once theyre off the IL.
  2. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Ive said it before and I'll say it again, until Culpepper comes up, Kriedler should be the starting SS. Especially after Arcia was DFA today. Gray is not getting it done. Also, with Fedko up, I'd definitely like to see Clemens at 2B more. Keaschall is struggling bad. I like Martin, I was happy he got the starting spot in RF, but hes struggling even more. At minimum, him and Fedko should platoon in RF. But at this point, Martin is struggling so bad, maybe Fedko takes over for a bit and see what he can do? Sounds like some injured guys are getting close. Maybe some of them can come back and create a spark.

    Again with this bullpen 🤦‍♂️ Is Sands the only "reinforcement" coming back from the IL any time soon? Even at his best it wont be enough. Even the starters, outside of Ryan, aren't pitching well. 6 runs should be plenty to win a ballgame.
  4. soyouresayingtheresachance
    IMO Marek Houston and Kaelen Culpepper are ready to move up a level. Tait is looking terrible. Diaw is absolutely ahead of Tait and looks close to moving up a level, too.

    Terrible night for the bullpen. Yikes. Kody Clemens with another good game. .802 OPS now. Incredible career half season for him so far. He's really been defying his career numbers. Bucks bat is on fire 🔥 He is so fun to watch! Royce is heating up! Still early, but maybe I was wrong about him...I hope I was. Lee with his hot and cold bat. Its like a roller-coaster with him. After the great start, Gomez has given up a run in 3 of 4 outings, I believe. Definitely not ideal. Orze was just plain awful tonight. Probably should've left Rogers in for that last out. Couldn't have done any worse.

    Kriedler is who I would keep. He has 5 years of team control left and he sets the highest floor defensively. He can backup shortstop and center field best out of any options on the team. Gray would be my first pick to go. He has been pretty terrible defensively and his clutch moments are unlikely to be sustainable. I like Arcia. He has a lower OPS but a decent batting average. Singles are still hits. Plus hes a better defender than gray. I'd keep him until the roster spot is needed.
  7. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Im not interested in trading Kody or Gomez. The team struggles enough, why would we trade away some of our few bright spots that still have team control. Especially in the bullpen. We need more guys performing like Gomez is right now, not less. Rogers is a Great veteran presence. Numbers aren't as good as analytics say they should be, so maybe room for improvement? However, if he signed here for the purpose of finishing his career where it started, then I'd ask him before trading him. I feel he's earned that respect. Larnach can be traded. Should've been traded in the off season. The team doesnt need more platoon bats with no defensive value. Isn't this his last season of team control? He's not part of the future and not good enough that you'd want to extend him.
  8. soyouresayingtheresachance
    I would not be in favor of trading Kody. He is exactly the type of player I would want on my team. Good attitude. Good energy. Good clubhouse guy. Plays above average defense all over the field. Has a little pop to his bat. Clearly still in his prime. Most importantly for the owners, his cost is low.
  9. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Disappointing week. The bullpen has lost so many games this season. Theres a couple decent arms there, but a lot of inconsistencies too. Shelton needs to quit messing around with this closer by committee and stick with Gomez. His response to dropping those ineffective pitches has been great. Banda seems to have turned it around after a very rough start. Morris and Adams just aren't ready yet, but pitching up here out of necessity. Rogers and Orze have looked good one night and questionable the next. Outside of Banda and Gomez, I dont trust anyone else. Clemens is having such a great season so far. Solid to very good defense wherever he's playing. The bat has been more consistent than in the past. Its been really good to watch. Buck and Jeffers playing well, too. Unfortunately both are injured. But the rest of the team has been pretty awful. Larnach has been ... ok ... but I'm still not a fan of his defense. Martin went from great to unplayable. Atleast his defense has been good. Bell is so bad. Brooks Lee keeps flirting with being an average bat, but we need so much more from him. Hopefully his defensive number improve with the move to 3B. I thought Keaschall was turning it around but hes ice cold again. His defense is below average, too. Caratini has been awful. We'll see what happens with Lewis, but early results are not inspiring. At this point, I just dont understand why the guys mashing at AAA aren't getting a look. Fedko, Sabato, etc. They really cant be any worse than what we have.
  10. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Absolutely not. Neither was Lewis. A handful of good games against pitching he should Absolutely be crushing doesnt mean hes magically fixed. His defense is non existent. This team has too many bat only players already, and they cant hit either this year. I like Wallner and his bat has, in the past, been capable of changing games. But unless he can crush MLB pitching enough to DH, I just dont see a spot for him.
  11. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Thats what happens when I dont proof read before hitting submit 😂😂 touché
  12. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Kody Clemens is the best hitter on the team when Buxton sits. Another good day at the plate for Kody. Look, I'm a big fan of Kody Clemens. I like him more than most on this page. But I'm also realistic. You just dont have a good team with that statement being true. Was Prielipp pulled for pitch count?
  13. soyouresayingtheresachance
    He needs to adjust. If he can adjust, he'll do better. If he can't, he may pitch his way back to AAA. Thats the simple answer, anyways.
  14. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Such a frustrating game. Another 6 innings of 1 run ball from Ryan. But no offense. Arcia comes through with the pinch hit tie breaker and the BP let's us down again. Orze lacking the situational awareness to throw to 1st. Basic fundamentals. I understand the reasoning behind it, but I'm tired of the closer by committee. Pick a guy and let him get used to the role. My 1st choice is Gomez.
  15. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Cant keep Outman on a ML roster with his production, or lack of. Long overdue, really. Was Lewis ready to return? I doubt it. It would have been nice to see him get more work in at 2B & 1B at AAA.
  16. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Did we win the trade? WAR suggests we did. Based on what value we expected to get from the players, I'd say not really. Sim was doing ok until this year. But, IIRC, Martin was touted as a future star. So far this year, he's had a good OBP and I like that, but unfortunately lately hes looked more like a platoon guy. His defense in the corner outfield spots seems to be decent. So, sure, we may have "won" the trade based on analytics, but we didnt get what we were sold on. Ive noticed we've had a rough time developing really any of our high end prospects.
  17. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Houston looks ready to move up to AA. Ive read here his glove is MLB ready. He's holding his own at High A. Culpepper looks ready for a call up too. Im still waiting for Tait to show me something. I thought he was highly touted for his bat and the glove at C was questionable? The Twins FO put a lot of pressure on him to be the catcher of the future trading away Duran for him. Im hoping he can live up to it.
  18. soyouresayingtheresachance
    I would absolutely be in favor of extending Jeffers and I hope they do. But not for a $23M qualifying offer. I would think 6 years for 80-90M should work. He would be here throughout the rest of his prime and be able to help Tait or whoever the next catcher will be. If he wont sign an extension before the deadline and if he's healthy, unfortunately the best route will probably be trading him. The thing is, to my knowledge, there wont be a better catcher available as a free agent during the off-season. So I hope they try hard to get a deal done
  19. soyouresayingtheresachance
    He is upset about something, but didnt reveal what. Said they will have discussions about this week to correct it. I like it. Keeping the issues in house. How it should be. He is a guy I like on the team and really hope they can extend him. Good competitor and seems to care.
  20. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Nice start for Gallagher. A few rough outings after his call up to AAA, maybe he's adjusted a bit and figuring things out. Good to see Wallner heating up. Finally. He was in such a bad funk even the AAA pitching was eating him up for a bit. Glad to see Royce moved off 3B. Get him comfortable at 2B, maybe even 1B too. Culpepper, Fedko, Sabato are all still looking good with the bat. Doesn't seem like there much left to prove at AAA for Fedko and Sabato. Hill with only 8 outs on 70 pitches. Yikes.
  21. soyouresayingtheresachance
    After a beating like that, its hard to remember we actually won the series. I know Gray is 5th on the team in RBIs but maybe SS isn't for him. I would really like to see more of Kriedler at SS. He is a better defender than every starter on the team except catcher and probably Buxton. He may not hit a ton but he'll catch the darn ball.
  22. soyouresayingtheresachance
    My preference would be to extend Ryan for 4 or 5 years. As mentioned in the article, he is an Ace type pitcher. If we want to compete, we need dominant pitchers like Ryan. Based on what i read here on TD, we have a logjam of talent at AAA waiting to be called up. Roden, Erod, and Jenkins are currently injured, but Culpepper is close. Fedko doesn't seem to have much left to prove at AAA, nor does Sabato. Gonzalez seems ready to, at minimum, be a solid platoon bat. Hendry Mendez has been great at AAA and will be ready for a call up soon. Ross is doing great since his call up too AAA, as has Olivar. Then there's still Roden, who has MLB experience. ERod who is ready but often injured, and Jenkins not far behind. When will we see these guys? Obviously not all will pan out at the MLB level, but I'd sure like to get a look at them. So, while I agree trading Ryan would get us a haul in return, when would we even see them play? Or would it be AA players or lower? If thats the case, hard pass for me.
  23. soyouresayingtheresachance
    I understand some folks dont like Clemens, But I am a fan! He is good to very good defensively at a few positions. If he can even be "average" with the bat, he is an extremely valuable player on any team. Then add in an entire month of really good production at the plate and he looks even better.
  24. soyouresayingtheresachance
    IIRC, I thought i read somewhere that they had him drop a couple ineffective pitches and its worked well so far.
  25. soyouresayingtheresachance
    With the trade for a BP arm, after giving up 2 more runs my best guess is Adams being sent back down? Bit of a rough start for Ryan. Gray with the Slam! Similar spot to his Slam in the Home Opener. 5th on the team in RBIs. He's been clutch.
