Travis Adams could use some love
-
I wouldn’t combine offensive stats and defensive stats like that. WAR would convert each to offensive and defensive runs above average. Fielders see a +/- of 25 runs versus average over the course of the season.

Fielding should translate 1 to 1. Fielding chances are generally not more difficult in AAA. Fielders get about the same number of chances per game. Statcast is installed in AAA parks as well as the Florida State League. The overall spread in talent will be larger in the minors and the average fielder will be worse than the majors.

Which is his AAA OPS minus 200 points….
-
Alan Roden increased his OPS from .490 to .614 in one game.

Roden is crushing it today. Weird timing.
-
Keaschall has very bad range and a weak arm. The difference is like 20-30 defensive runs saved. Massey is 93rd percentile in range and Keaschall is the 1st percentile.
-
Martin has 1 WAR off the bench this season.
-
It is worth remembering that Jenkins was out over six weeks in May and June with a shoulder injury. That comes after missing time in March with a hamstring injury. This is his first stretch of consistent playing time all season. I can’t fault the Twins for playing other guys while Jenkins was injured or recovering from injuries.
-
The roster was so full of average infielders that we got 141 combined starts from Ryan Kreidler and Tristan Gray.
-
What is “unproven” about Massey. He has an OPS+ of 100 and is a terrific fielder. I can understand if the Twins are allergic to good defense at second base. They have been avoiding it since Todd Walker.
-
I think he will be on the roster September 1 if he can manage to avoid injury that long. There have been a dozen opportunities for Rodriguez to get promoted over the past three seasons but he has almost always been injured when the Twins had an opening.
-
To the Royals for Massey could work.
-
So you want Walker Jenkins to play 17 games in the majors this season instead of getting everyday playing time in the minors.
-
I don’t remember the Twins giving Tristan Gray playing time in the outfield.
-
Yes, the Twins should definitely play minor leaguers who are injured in the major leagues instead of putting them on the minor league injured list. Rodriguez has not been promoted because he can’t stay on the field. He has missed nearly 400 games due to injury over the past four seasons.
-
Subtract 200 points of OPS from AAA stats to get a ballpark for MLB equivalent production.
-
If he can stay at catcher it will be easy to hide him against LHP.

Emmanuel Rodriguez played his first game in AAA yesterday after returning from the 60 day injured list. It was the minor league Field of Dreams game, which is a career highlight for most of these players. Rodriguez went 0 for 3 with a walk. I guess that walk means he’s 100% ready for a major league promotion and the Twins are idiots to not promote him today.
-
This is why I think he is the 14th position player when rosters expand. They have to test him in the majors.
-
They need to find him a spot on a team that is not trying to win in 2027. This is exactly why I thought he was a good player to trade to the Angels for Neto.

Byron Buxton Could Be Activated in the “Next Few Days”

Another reason why it was a bad time for Jenkins to debut last week. -

If you want him for his defense, it makes a lot more sense to play him in RF. It is a big risk to take one of their top bats out of the lineup to add a rookie. Benching Josh Bell when he has a 950 OPS over the past two weeks is very different than benching Ryan Kreidler when he’s barely hitting .100.
