    I don't see Brooks Lee at 3B. I'm in the camp that there is not enough arm there. I also believe the first step is a lot more critical at 3B. The ball comes faster there and reflexes are everything. If you're slow on that first step, the ball is by you. At 2B the short throw allows them to position deeper, allowing them more time to react. I'm not sure where Keaschall fits at this point as his bat has disappeared.

    Correct. Sabato Gigante is a right handed batter. I wouldn't mind giving him a look. He has progressed a lot in the last year.

    "Stewart opened the season injured, but recently returned" Sounds like the start of every season for Brock Stewart. It will likely be repeated two more times this year. I get that Outman sucks, but are we really lamenting the stability Brock Stewart would bring the bullpen for two weeks at a time?

    "Prielipp has flashed promise in his first taste of the big leagues, but there is no certainty that his performance will hold over a full workload. Waiting for that answer delays the ability to address immediate bullpen needs." The obsession with moving Prielipp to the pen continues. Prielipp is outperforming other prospects as a starter at the major league level. For that matter, he is out performing SWR. Why even bring up assessing him as a reliever? The Twins shouldn't be willing to sacrifice Prielipp's development as a starter to fill a bullpen need on a team that is only going to win about 75 games.

    Defensive metrics have a wide margin of error. I remember reading an article by the creator of the old UZR stat, where he states that in order to get a truly accurate assessment of defensive performance, you need 3 years of data on a player at a position to establish a baseline. Basically, I don't put a lot of stock in stats that say how many runs a player has saved or how many additional wins he accounts for. Just watch Buck play. He still gets to a select range of balls that the majority of center fielders don't get to. He is still one of the top center fielders. It doesn't take an advanced metric analysis to figure that out.

    It's like the film critic who watched Jean Claude Van Dam's film debut and started his review with an apology to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stalone.

    Ober has really transitioned well into a baffle em with b*llspit pitcher.

    Send Wallner to St. Paul. DFA Outman. Bring up Emma and Roden.

    I really don't care what baseball savant said. If BS says that play was out of the realm of possibility then there are some bugs in the system. I saw a ball that landed a short distance in front of a slow footed outfielder who was pulling up to make sure the ball didn't bounce by him.

    I am going to go against the consensus here. I think any number of right fielders make that catch that Wallner didn't. I think even Larnach makes that catch because he makes better reads, gets better jumps and is a little faster. The one Lewis couldn't bring down was a hit all the way. I liked what I saw from Prielipp for a first start. That is a bodacious slider. Going forward, I hope we see better command of pitches that aren't the slider. I'm really glad they didn't move him to the pen. I liked the heat Rojas brings. A little refinement and he could be pretty good. He has high end stuff.

    Prielipp's slider is flat out nasty.
  27. TJSweens
    Why does every article about Prielipp ultimately steer toward moving him to the pen? He is dominating as a starter in St. Paul. Better move him to the pen. The Twins have 3 lefty relievers. They don't need to move Prielipp to the bullpen. Stay big picture with Prielipp. The rewards will be much greater.

    And Wallner has 7 walks. Martin Larnach have 18 combined strike outs. Wallner has 35. See where I'm going with this?
