    Jefferson has a 3+ war, yet the Twins have a winning record in the games he was on the shelf. WAR is just an amazingly overrated number.

    On a 1 year contract that can be moved at deadline? It's an overpay, but not an absurd one and I doubt he accepts it. Boras will convince him there is more money to be made on a multi year deal now. 1 year $23.6M vs 3 years at about $39M or 4 years at about $52M.

    I see a qualifying offer as the absolute highest probability. He won't accept it and the Twins will collect a top 50 draft choice. Even if he accepts, the Twins have him as a mainstay of the lineup for the season. If they contend, he helps them win. If they don't contend, they'll trade him at the deadline.

    Can't sum it up any better. When is the last time the Twins could write in a name at SS and forget about it? If the worst case scenario comes to pass with Houston, I would be happy with them continuing to write Culpepper in at SS.
  20. TJSweens
    A couple of points 1. Culpepper has looked like belongs from day 1. There has never been a moment where he has looked over his head. The move up to the second spot in the order was well earned. That was a quality AB when he delivered the insurance run. 2. Keaschall is figuring it out in the OF. He is still adjusting to some nuances like playing carroms, but his athleticism is really playing well in the OF. He made some very nice plays in right last night.
  21. TJSweens
    Agreed. If they give him proper rest between starts, there is no reason Prielipp can't finish the season. He should be unlimited by next season.

    Wow. I said he better at 3B than SS, but would probably be a better fit at 2B. What negativity.
  24. TJSweens
    Lee's play at 3B is good relative to his play at SS. I wouldn't call his play great at 3B great. I think he is a more natural 2B with his combined range, arm and IQ. If Houston ultimately claims SS, I like Culpepper with his reflexes and cannon arm at 3B.
  25. TJSweens
    He will probably have to cover half the ground playing a corner as he covers in CF. It also means less sustained acceleration. That's a huge saving on his legs over the course of a season. At 33, he will be more susceptible to and take longer to recover from the soft tissue injuries like the persistent labrum ones he is currently dealing with. There are no guarantees regarding, but reducing wear and tear on his body improves his odds of staying on the field.
  26. TJSweens
    Buxton needs to move out of CF right now. Full stop. It's not a matter of whether he can still field the position better than Jenkins. The Twins need to preserve his body, especially his legs. Buxton will need to cover half the ground in a corner spot. Leave Jenkins in CF. He is at least adequate there. Beyond that, Jenkins just needs to show he can run, field and hit.
  27. TJSweens
    No, he's on first. But seriously, I would put Lee there. He always seemed most like a second baseman to me.
  28. TJSweens
    Personally, I'd rather have the fast twitch athlete at 3B. The ball comes a lot faster down 3B way and reflexes and quickness are key. Not to mention Culpepper's big arm. Since 2B is right side, range is less critical. Second basemen can position deeper because of the short throw.
  29. TJSweens
    No he hasn't. Lee has been about league average defensively at 3B. His hitting has definitely profiled well at the position. I just always envisioned Lee's defensive home to ultimately be 2B.
  30. TJSweens
    I wouldn't classify Lee's defensive performance at 3B as very good. Maybe adequate, definitely better than he was at SS, but not very good. I could easily see Culpepper with his quickness, reflexes and big arm sliding to 3B if and when Houston reaches the majors.
  31. TJSweens
    The idea that the Twins were ever a viable playoff contender was always fool's gold. Way too many regressions to the mean were due. Being within a couple of games of a playoff spot at the deadline was the worst thing that could have happened. The Twins added at a time they should have been clearing the decks for Culpepper, Jenkins and more.
