  1. Agreed, while I think Farmer should be the one to go, and believe there to be a strong chance, I hear Larnach has been DHing almost exclusively because he’s fighting a foot injury, certainly likely/possible he gets the Il stint to recover from it, or one of Larnach/Kirilloff getting demoted
  2. While I agree with the DFA Farmer contingent (I was in the DFA Margot group, but he has improved lately), why is Santana a lock? being a good defensive first baseman clearly has some value, but he’s a terrible hitter and has been for several years. First baseman need to hit, and Miranda hits decent/well and plays passable first. The whole reason Santana was signed is because the FO didn’t trust Miranda and Kirilloff. Fair enough, Kirilloff hasn’t earned the trust, but Miranda’s OPS would be average at first base (compared to Santana’s bottom of the league) i think there’s an outside chance Santana gets DFA’d at some point.
  3. 1) The Twins have said from the beginning he was going to have a long rehab assignment so they could better manage his return. 2) you clearly have never been to CHS Field in St Paul.
  4. When bringing up 3 players, one must take 3 players off the roster. Assuming Julien, that’s two
  5. Farmer has the lowest hard hit rate and the highest ground ball rate on the team. That is not a recipe for BABIP progression to the mean
  6. Who goes? DFA Margot is an easy one. Option Kirilloff? DFA Santana? They could DFA Farmer, but then SS gets rather thin if Correa gets injured. Castro is bad there, Lewis and Lee have both been injured and probably can’t jump into the deep end with both feet. that’s where I get a bit nervous DFAing the vets. The young guys have been hurt and inconsistent. Better inconsistent than consistently bad…. But the injuries
  7. As of May 27, at 80 plate appearances Santana’s .643 OPS ranks 28th in MLB First Basemen.
  8. If no one can change your opinion, and all that matters is your opinion, what was the point of this thread? the whole point of the forums is to discuss and debate.
  9. They’re not below average. It’s the worst season of his career by a wide margin. .38 BB/K is the killer.
  10. They don’t like Margot in CF, even w/ Buxton out. I think Martin is here until Buck comes back. i think Miranda gets demoted
  11. Welcome to TD! Great post!
  12. A year ago, I couldn’t have imagined a scenario where the Twins extended Kepler. now? I still can’t imagine, but for the exact opposite reason….
  13. Totally agree, but then as a moderator, it helps to gather the poster’s patterns. whats kinda funny about this post is DJLL has been around forever…
  14. Channeling my inner Mike Sixel…. that’s why the Win Stat for Pitchers is stupid and we shouldn’t use it, let’s throw the baby out with the bath water
  15. Atteberry on ‘CCO described it more like he was mad than rattled. Between the errors and a couple pitches where both the hitter and the catcher were confused as to why a pitch was called the way it was.
