    His batting is on an upsurge, but his fielding has never been a question and Wallner and Sabato do not carry gloves in their resumes.

    I am not a Rodriguez fan, but I am anxious to see WJ here.

    No one can say what the transition would be - we have seen it fail us too often. But if the national and local evaluations are of any value and his performance this month mean anything he needs to be given a shot at MLB. If AAA has no meaning then we need to figure out a new minor league system. Max Clark not starts for the Tigers he was one of the top six draftees. He was at 293 in AAA. If the press clippings are of any value and the prospect rankings mean anything we need to call Jenkins up.

    If I remember correctly, he doesn't do slumps so I guess he will maintain this pace. I feel like this is a companion piece to the Ryan article. Ryan great first half, bad second, Royce bad first half, great second half, And then there is Wallner who fails two seasons in a row in the first half a season, goes to AAA and goes crazy, but we won't bring him up this time.

    I need to take a different tact since this is an article designed to get the kind of responses that the commentors have posted. We complain about Ryan failing in the second half and he has. No debate there, but the question is - is there a remedy? Because he is so good the first 1/2 - 2/3rds. And he has pitched every year while Pablo Lopez is everyone's Ace despite the fact that injuries have kept him out of the rotation all this year and in 2025 he went out of the rotation on June 5. I am not arguing that Lopez is a bad pitcher, but the fact is, we have been able to count on Ryan more than Pablo. Fix the problem.

    Enough with Kriedler in CF - bring up Jenkins - have a real OF I agree with all the comments on Rogers and Adams 5.4 and 5.8 Eras should not be kept when there are options in the minors.
  28. mikelink45
    I am sad every time I read about Jenkins and think about the Twins playing Roden instead of him. The time manipulation is foolish - get him up now. Thanks for a good summary.
  29. mikelink45
    I grade the Varland and Duran trades as Fs - imagine where we would have been with them here for the full year. I also believe that acquiring Outman is an F even if Brock Stewart is injured.
  30. mikelink45
    Taylor Rogers seems spent - I have no trust in him and I think he is now on the bottom of the BP hierarchy.
  31. mikelink45
    please
  32. mikelink45
    It is time to look at the logjam of OF talent and use them or move them. Jenkins should be in MLB. He has done enough. Rodriguez needs to stay healthy and then he will be ready. With more behind him it is time for a Larnach, Martin, Roden trade and prospect time to shine or fail.
  33. mikelink45
    Great essay and assessment. Play Culpepper. Give him a day off when he needs not because you planned one. And call up Walker - Roden has a career 196 in 184 ABs, and a 53 OPS+. Enough with trying to prove how great your trade was. Walker Jenkins is the only player in the top six of his draft class to not appear in MLB. Do it now. Larnach's slump is a worry too. And if Matthews has more issues I am not sure how they can hold the pitching together. Rojas would have to move into the rotation, but I question if he is good enough.
  34. mikelink45
    Walker up - Rodriguez up! Please. Caratini, Martin, Roden - any of them down. Five of the top six in the draft are now playing in the majors - guess which one has not had a mlb experience? Hint WJ.
  35. mikelink45
    Please go back to listing pitch and hitting stats under the score. The only question I have is - why do we still have Martin, Gray, Roden, Caratini in the lineup when we have Wallner, Mendez, and Walker in AAA?
