    A minor point Cody, but why you site anything Charlie Walters says? I print out his column to line my bird cage.

    You assume Lee will work out long term as an every day 3B. I have my doubts. If Royce regains his early stroke, Lee won't be much of an obstacle.

    I don't think Lewis is lacking in the accountability department. He hasn't made any excuses that I'm aware of. By all accounts, he maintains a great attitude and has been working his butt off to break out of his long slump. This demotion isn't about a wake up call. It's a simple matter that the Twins can no longer afford to let him try to work it out at the major league level.

    I see Lewis the same way I saw Buxton when constant trips to the IL seemed to derail his development. Too much talent, too much dedication, too much work ethic to fail

    By the time Lewis was demoted, he looked thoroughly frustrated and like he was overthinking everything. Everything about his game was mechanical and nothing was natural. Mayba AAA has allowed him to relax and just see ball-hit ball. Rediscovering the joy of pounding the snot out of the ball should boost his confidence a lot. So much of hitting is simply confidence.

    I don't think so. Look at his slash line in StP. The Twins could use a productive RHB. The Twins currently have 3 players with OPS in the .500's and another 4 players in the .600's. Are you telling me a guy with his slash line, who can play both corner OF and 1B isn't at least worth a look on a team as hitting deficient as this one?

    "The Twins can live with strikeouts if Wallner is demolishing velocity, " I reject that. The willingness to live with strikeouts is a major problem in modern hitting.

    "ZiPs projects his 3-year WAR to be -1.3 with a .220/.300/.360ish slash line if you gave him 400-500 MLB PAs a year over that time. All the more reason I'd like to see him up here. I put no stock in WAR or ZiPs. Bring him up and find out what he can or can't do. Don't ignore him because some analytics driven bs says he won't be good.

    I have no issue with Arcia over Culpepper right now. Arcia has a solid major league track record and was playing really well at StP. There will be other opportunities for Culpepper. Right now Keaschall isn't hitting enough to justify his glove in the lineup and Lee looks every bit the place holder that he is. I think Brooks is destined for a utility infielder role. Letting Culpepper pile up more AAA experience seems like the smart play right now.

    Or maybe if someone else followed one of Buxton's doubles with a hit...

    Many advanced metrics are.

    Zebby's first start certainly earned him a second start. SWR has to be looking over his shoulder at this point. When Bradley or Able come back, he looks to be the odd man out.

    It says that when some players swing the bat, runs cross the plate. Other players, not so much.

    They should move him to the bullpen. 😁
