    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?
  3. TJSweens
    Thanks for the article. I feel much better about him losing the game last night.
  4. TJSweens
    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.
  5. 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.
  6. TJSweens
    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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. TJSweens
    I'm pretty lukewarm on Fedko, but in his defense, he came up basically sat.
  11. TJSweens
    It would have taken a lot more than Culpepper to get the kind of pitcher you are describing. The Twins need a whole new infield. Lee is not the answer at 3B, Culpepper could be.
  12. TJSweens
    I'll second this. I'm very confident that Culpepper can give us everything Kreidler does at SS and more right now. Promote Houston to AAA and put him in position to compete for a major league job next spring.
  13. TJSweens
    I would argue that Tommy Nance, A.J. Minter, Dean Kremer and Jeff Hoffman are the epitome of half measures. Especially considering Cleveland added more. This was s show of being serious to sell tickets down the stretch.
  14. TJSweens
    He was quite good for two months. He was quite putrid for the other two months.
  15. TJSweens
    I have a friend who is a die hard Jays fan. He said he would have taken a roll of tape for Hoffman and anything beyond that is gravy.
  16. TJSweens
    I would still prefer the Twins make moves to clear the decks for Jenkins and Culpepper. They need to get the future core players up to the majors. Adding just to build a team good enough to swept in the first round doesn't interest me.
  17. TJSweens
    The fact that a cap would prevent the Dodgers from adding unlimited salary comes to mind. Or that a salary floor prevents teams from simply dumping salary, like Correa.
  18. TJSweens
    I think they should be looking rotation with Rojas.
  19. TJSweens
    I don't think you can find a stronger sign that the Twins should not be buyers than getting shut down by Randy Dobnak.
  20. TJSweens
    Are 30% Playoff Odds Enough for Twins to Buy at MLB Trade Deadline? NO!
  21. TJSweens
    This team needs to build a core before any deadline additions. What is the Twins core right now? Byron Buxton? You can't say players like Ryan or Jeffers because most of the conversation around them trade related. Like it or not, the only chance at a core group is in AAA and AA right now. The Twins need to clear the decks for these guys to come up and establish themselves. You can't keep retooling around a non existent core.
  22. TJSweens
    I'm dead set against buying for the short term. The Twins are where they are by greatly exceeding expectations. I would rather move guys like Larnach, Bell and Jeffers who are clearly not part of the long term future. Those guys won't bring in big time prospects, but they will yield prospects that will deepen the pool and can be used for future acquisitions.
  23. TJSweens
    I will say again, the idea that the Twins are in position to be buyers is fool's gold. They need to stay the course and put the pieces in place for the next season, whether that is 2027 or 2028.
  24. TJSweens
    To put it bluntly, the Twins are not good enough to be buyers. They have stayed in the chase with just enough pitching and an overachieving offense. That offense was never going to be sustainable with this collection of hitters. As the hitting regresses to the mean, the holes in the pitching staff and the mistakes of a sub par defense become amplified. The Twins need to stay the course and continue to develop young talent. Being within striking distance of the last wild card spot is fool's gold. Any move they make should be for beyond this season.
  25. TJSweens
    I still maintain there is no innings increase year over year based on science. If he has 10 more starts with a 5 inning average, that's about 134 innings total, which should be be very doable if they manage his time between starts. I think it's more important to keep him on a starter's routine.
