    Bullpen SHOULD be much better now. Ive noticed a lack of trading a catcher. Are we keeping 3 on the roster? Id hate to lose Alex Jackson. He is much better than I was expecting. Also, big bat was not added...
  2. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Cant ERod play CF well? He's back from the most recent injury now? Better call him up and see before he gets hurt again
  3. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Come on Royce 🤦‍♂️ Gotta make that play in that situation. A bit of a frustrating loss, but let's get the W tomorrow and take the series.
  4. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Festa has a lot of work ahead of him. Hopefully he can make it back from this procedure. A lot of players dont. We need Buxtons hip to heal up.
  5. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Solid BP addition. Very nice start.
  6. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Im not sure what your definition of adequate is, but if a below average .711 OPS for the season is adequate for a DH to you, then we have massively different expectations for an offense only player. He had a fun hot streak to him a month ago and that is long over.
  7. soyouresayingtheresachance
    I agree with trading Bell. Moving Larnach to DH would be an upgrade there. Im also trading Lewis. Finding a big bat at 1B is usually one of the easier things to find at the deadline. Im leaving Clemens and his strong defense at 2B.
  8. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Kody mother f ing Clemens! What an epic walk off!
  9. soyouresayingtheresachance
    If you leave Adams as a 1 inning guy, you will get better results. Anderson has pitched well. Tier 3 feels a bit insulting. At minimum, we need a proven Closer that pushes everybody down 1 spot. Morris and Gomez as 7th and 8th inning setup arms pushes those tier 2 guys into the middle reliever roles theyre better suited for and pushes Rogers off the roster. If that is where the BP ends up after the deadline, you could really work with that. 1 more set up type arm to push Funderburk back to AAA would be ideal. Im asking for 3 acquisitions before the deadline: A proven closer for the reasons stated already. A starter to slot in with Taj and Ryan making a 3 man playoff rotation you can trust. A legit 1B. The prototypical 1B with a big bat and a solid glove. On the selling side: I'm trading Rogers if I can find a taker. Trading Lewis to make room for the new 1B. Trading or releasing Gray because he is awful. Im trading Bell a moving Larnach to DH Also trading Caratini.
  10. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Not only should Gray not have been called up, I would've preferred he be released. Guy was bad at AAA too. We have most of the team in St Paul with over .800 OPS just waiting and this dude gets another chance? Actively trying to sabotage the team with this move.
  11. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Seems like Ryan's arm is still a little dead. He might need an IL stint to rest that thing up a bit. Easier said than done with so many starters already lost for the season. Dobnak was on a mission tonight and I think he got the results he wanted. Too bad he couldn't put it together like this while he was here. Heck he even struggled in AAA here. So many ice cold bats, too. Maybe they should offer cigar and whiskey to wake up the bats.
  12. soyouresayingtheresachance
    I cant understand why Detmers? His career hasn't been good to this point, currently having his best season with an ERA over 4? Not interested at all. Neto is a very nice player but trading for him makes no sense with Culpepper near and Houston not too far behind. Soriano is intriguing. I feel like we have a similar guy in Rojas right now. Arraez is probably my favorite current player in the game. I would absolutely love to have him back on our team. He's graded well at 2B this year and his bat is always good. He puts the ball in play and gets on base a lot. I cant figure out why he keeps changing teams, either. As far as fit, I'd like to see the team trade Lewis. Clemens can play 1B and Arraez at 2B.
  13. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Jeff Passan? The same idiot that said Ryan Jeffers is basically already a Yankee? As for Hancock, its hard to say. We've been burned by this type of trade before with a player suddenly having a good season.
  14. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Exactly what I've been commenting to do on this site for weeks. Trade Caratini. Keep Jeffers and Alex Jackson. Caratini has never had a starters workload. Suddenly relying on him to be a starter would be a terrible idea.
  15. soyouresayingtheresachance
    There is a position in need of an upgrade, but its 1B. Kriedlers offensive production at this time is a .714 OPS while providing above average defense. Almost league average bat overall at a position where offense isn't usually as strong. Royce Lewis on the other hand has an OPS under .700 at the bottom of the defensive spectrum where most teams like to hide one of their best bats. Why does Lewis get a pass when hes been outperformed offensively and defensively by Ryan Kriedler? By the way, 1B is a MUCH easier position to upgrade at the deadline than SS and it will cost a ton less.
  16. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Something better is possible with some of the current players. Im not going to pretend for a second that the owners are not billionaires. They can absolutely afford to put a winning team on the field around the current stars and prospects. Its their jobs as owners to do that. Selling off our best players isn't managing towards something better. All it does is keep pushing the goalpost forward and out of reach. Selling off Jeffers for possibly a fringe top 100 prospect isn't going to help more than keeping him, giving him a QO and taking the compensation pick if he declines. Selling off Ryan just means we need find multiple pitchers like Ryan instead of the 1 we are currently missing. "Managing towards something better" should include keeping our stars in MN. It sounds like there's a good chance of a salary floor in the new CBA. If the stated number is anything close to what happens, this team will need to spend near 70M this off-season. Keeping our stars and adding to that core should be easily done with that size payroll.
  17. soyouresayingtheresachance
    If Buxton is headed for the IL, Culpepper would be a good call up. Not only is Kriedler our best defensive option at SS, i believe he is also the next best option in CF. Not sure if Culpepper is ready or not but defensively speaking, that seems like it would be the best option.
  18. soyouresayingtheresachance
    I absolutely agree, which is why i added it to the comment.
  19. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Unless Tom Pohlad is trying to anger the fan base yet again, the answer is yes. 30% is enough.
  20. soyouresayingtheresachance
    The more I read about a potential return for Jeffers, the more I feel like trading him would be a terrible idea. Possibly a fringe top 100 prospect? Keep him and Give him the QO, if he rejects it, the compensation pick we'd receive would most likely come after the 1st round? Unless the front office completely screws up, that pick should get us a top 100 prospect easily. Then add on top they're talking about trading to an AL contender? Keeping him would make sure we wouldnt have to face him in a potential playoff match up. Is it really that weak of a return? Or am I missing something?
  21. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Not a tough blow for the BP at all. Sands is massively overrated. Im a glad Anderson is back. I hope he continues to do well. This is a tough blow for Sands, though. I hope he recovers from this injury. Luckily for him, it sounds like he'll have all off-season to heal and wont be rushed back.
  22. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Royce isn't figuring anything out. He has a .523 OPS over the last 7 games. He had a short warm stretch after he came back up but hes fallen off a cliff since. Even going back the last 30 games he only has a .228 BA. That "production" wouldnt play at 3B, let alone 1B.
  23. soyouresayingtheresachance
    I 100% want Royce Lewis to be traded but I am absolutely not interested in Walker. At all. How much do I not want either of these guys? I'd rather keep 3 catchers and rotate Caratini and Jackson at 1B the rest of the season than see either Lewis or Walker on this team. Griffin is fine but is Washington selling? Definitely wouldnt be interested in overpaying for him for a couple months. Im not a fan of trading for rentals. Senzatela might do better away from Colorado. Could be an ok BP addition. Id much rather find a closer, though.
  24. soyouresayingtheresachance
    None of those excite me. The only guy that may have been decent has a possible career altering injury. If these are the types of guys you can get for trading Jeffers, you may as well keep him and give him the QO. If he accepts, we'll have a top 5ish C in the league and if he declines, the compensation pick will most likely net a similar or possibly even better prospect
  25. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Let me clarify a little. Having Kriedler as the starting SS may not be ideal because of the questions about the bat. But the defense is much better than average at the position. What I meant was that I believe he can handle the position just fine until Culpepper is ready to come up. If Culpepper doesn't come up this year, Kriedlers defense is more than good enough to warrant a starting job. Hopefully his bat comes back from that .150 a little but even .225 or so the rest of the way with his defense would be acceptable.
