Massey has very good range but a weak arm. I don't think we would be gaining anything over Clemens or Keashall at 2B and Keashall has the potentially to be quite a bit better offensively. This is just a short-term view. By mid-season next year, they hopefully have Culpepper at 2B and Houston at SS. The OF is Buxton, Jenkins, and Rodriguez. Now that's a team that can play defense and run the bases.

His FB velocity is 90-92 so that will be an issue but his command is good. Maybe they could pull a little more velo out of him as a RP.

His OPS is 150 points lower than Wallner and Sabato. He ranks 12th in OPS among Saints players. His numbers are decent and he has been a little better lately, but I would not characterize his production as demanding a spot on the MLB roster.

If the goal is mediocrity .... Then yes. He has proven he knows how to perpetuate the mediocre performance we have seen on the field in the vast majority of the last 20 seasons.

I am not ready to declare Rojas an all-star just yet and I did not see the need to pull that trigger at the time. However, I have watched Rojas quite a bit in STP and he definitely could become the stud you predict. If that happens, it will, have been a good trade. Let's check back in about two years.

Kaelen Culpepper Is The Key To Even More Defensive Flexibility

Agreed. My take on Clemmons is that we are in good shape if he plays a Willi Castro type of role, meaning the first guy off the bench. A guy who can step right in and deliver above average offense and average defense is a valuable piece of a winning team. Plus, he plays hard and he is pretty darn good in the clutch.
-
Clemens is at least league average defensively at multiple positions. IDK why he gets disrespected.
-
Many teams gain an advantage through positional flexibility, but the Twins don't quite have the right personnel to take advantage. I can see a scenario developing by the middle of next year, we have a lot less movement. Hopefully, Houston becomes the SS for the next several years. Culpepper probably ends up at 2B, Lee at 3B and Royce at 1B. The only guys moving around a lot are the guys meant to be Utility players.
-
No. They are not the Twins. They are the model of success for any modest revenue team. Do you want them to follow a less successful strategy because they have not executed the type of plan these teams follow or do you want them to become better at the model with the greatest chance of success?
-
There are two dominate teams from small markets this year. (Milwaukee and Tampa) How many of their top producing or even average players were acquired as proven MLB players? Since I assume you will ignore te any facts that don't support your narrative, I will give you the answer. Zero. How many were acquired before they were proven and by proven, I mean had even one season of average production? The answer is six for Milwaukee and six for Tampa.

Three Trades the Twins Should Wish They Had Made at the Deadline
-
You need to actually examine that statement. Take a look at Tampa and Cleveland's track record trading for established players vs established players. The ratio 8 or 10:1 Milwaukee is not far behind. Trading for established players plays a VERY small role in the success of these teams. Trading for prospects plays a major role.

I am quite OK with this approach if it serves its function which I assume is developmental. They must believe more frequent outings will assist in whatever it is they are working on with him. It's not like a big-league game where you are trying to get the most out of your starter in order to win the game and also preserve the BP. Development should have priority at least to a degree over winning in the minors. BTW .... He appears to be getting more consistent. I thought he look really good. Maybe this approach is helping.
-
They said during the broadcast that they want to pitch him every four days and they planned the game for 3 innings for Rojas. My guess is that they are hoping that getting him out there more frequently will improve his consistency. He looked really good last night so perhaps it's working.

Great. I get your point, but you made a specific reference to having a speed guy off the bench. It's kind of pointless if you don't have a solution and I just don't know who that would be within our system.
