    In other words, he is a rookie adjusting to the major leagues. I'm excited until Culpepper gives me reason not to be excited. He isn't Kriedler and he isn't Gray. Those are two good reasons to be excited. Culpepper has legitimate talent. That's another reason to be excited. Quit digging into analytics to figure out if this is real or not or if you should be excited. That's just overthinking. Do what old farts like me have done for decades...watch the kid play and enjoy.

    An all too small sample size trend, that I am none the less enjoying, is Culpepper getting late inning hits. He has plenty to learn about major league pitchers, but he hasn't looked to be in over his head to this point.
  14. TJSweens
    I'm for moving Buck to a corner spot for the mere fact that LF & RF are a lot less wear and tear on the legs than CF. Buxton's repeated labrum injuries are probably an indicator that the Twins should reduce his milage. Especially at his age. The farther north of 30 you get, the easier it is to get those strains and the longer they take to heal.

    They will have about that many without Ober. If they pay him, that guarantees he makes the team out of spring training and takes a roster spot from a more deserving pitcher.
  16. TJSweens
    That's not a given at all. Trade Ryan and they still have Lopez followed by Bradley, Kremer, Prielipp, Able, Matthews, Rojas, ... With or without Ryan, there is no reason to keep Ober, who is about done.

    A slow, conservative approach with Lackey makes no sense. He isn't an 18 year old, out of high school. Lackey is a 21 year old college junior, taken #3 in the draft. He is already an elite defensive catcher. As soon as his bat clicks, move him up to the next level.
  18. TJSweens
    If Keaschall's home was 2nd base, the Twins wouldn't have moved him to the OF. Luke is clearly a substandard fielder, but he is less bad in the OF.

    Has anybody started a pool on how soon Emma goes back on the IL?

    Thanks for the article. I feel much better about him losing the game last night.

    It was good to see Jenkins first HR came off a lefty. That is the last remaining question on Jenkins. He has been able to get on base at a decent rate against them, but his slugging against them has been bad.
  24. TJSweens
    I'm sure the Twins will find something that will give them an excuse to put Ryan on the IL and shut him down for two weeks and hope that he bounces back with some rest. I've said before that Ryan will never have as much value as he had at last year's deadline. Since then he has experienced to more second half fades.

    You're citing stats in which I place very little stock. Lee is trending down at the plate. He is defensively limited. He looks like a utility player to me at this point.
  27. TJSweens
    I'm not saying hold back Jenkins for Kriedler. I'm saying I would like to see more consistency out of Jenkins before he is called up.
  28. TJSweens
    Culpepper for Gray should be done immediately. Culpepper looks ready and Gray is as worthless as goose s*** on a pump handle. Since that frees Kreidler up to play CF, I would wait on Jenkins. Walker looks like he has a few things to iron out yet. I can't get excited about the idea of Wallner coming back. As has been pointed out already, Wallner has a serious hole in his swing. Major league pitching exploits it in way that AAA pitchers cant.
  29. TJSweens
    My response to each of those three NO! NO! NO! Bring up Culpepper. That RH option is a lot more exciting than any of Soler, Garver and Refsnyder. Not to mention, there is a place to plug him right into the lineup.
