    I would be shocked if they cut Wallner. They can’t even move on from Outman and he’s been terrible for three consecutive seasons. They won’t let go of Wallner until he hits arbitration. They might use his option, but that just means he will make the MLB opening day roster next season because they will be too averse to losing him for nothing.

    Sell before it’s too late.

    Raya does not seem to have any idea where the ball is going. If you were a Joey Gallo hater, you probably aren’t going to like Emmanuel Rodriguez. He swings really hard, hits the ball really hard, strikes out 30% of the time and plays good defense. Gallo put up 15 WAR from ages 23-27. I hope Rodriguez is that successful.

    The trade will have less impact if the Twins squander Roden’s best years in AAA. Play him or trade him.

    Zoll was the GM and he hasn’t made any changes since Falvey left. He owns it.
  7. DJL44
    The bullpen was worse just last season after the deadline.
  8. DJL44
    Pretty sure Zoll owns this offseason

    They traded for castoffs and didn’t sign a free agent reliever for more than $2M. They spent the whole offseason sorting through the stuff left on the curb at the end of the garage sale. They added those pitchers to the guys nobody wanted last summer at the deadline There is no “low leverage” but there is also no bullpen with eight closers.

    Terry Ryan would have put a decent defense in front of his pitch-to-contact pitchers.
  11. DJL44
    I actually think the front office did a decent job sorting through the pitchers nobody else in the league wanted to cobble together a bullpen that isn't the absolute worst in the league. The problem, of course, is they didn't add anyone to the bullpen who was wanted by another team. It's a bunch of guys who are fine as the 7th or 8th guy in the bullpen.

    The simple answer is the thing Luke needs to work on is adjusting to major league pitchers and they don’t have those in AAA. Sending him to AAA for a “reset” just delays that work until he gets back from AAA. ”So 4/5 not done and we may be at .500.” So what? This team should not spend any more time or talent chasing .500. There aren’t any third place trophies.

    Solid CF but his gold glove days are over. I wish the Twins defense was solid at other positions.
  14. DJL44
    Keaschall had a decent game yesterday too. They’re going to need to let him make adjustments in the majors.
  15. DJL44
    Somehow there are a handful of bullpens worse than the Twins.

    I got to attend this one in person. Gilbert was nasty and the Twins approach was to go after the first strike they saw. Not that effective in hindsight. Randy Arozarena made a lot of fans tossing baseballs into the crowd. Not sure if they will have any left to play today’s game. Larnach had a good evening with a double off the wall and a nice catch in LF. We can stick with this OF. Cole Sands got lit up. Everything hit hard. I still can’t believe Kody Clemens is still the starting first baseman. A big part of their struggles on offense is patching together first base with a utility fielder and a backup catcher. Meanwhile, Naylor is destroying baseballs and flipping bats for the Mariners.
  17. DJL44
    Lots of playing time at first base available in St Paul.
  18. DJL44
    The only thing I can infer is he’s really bad there defensively.
  19. DJL44
    What stands out about Mendez is he's still playing mostly LF, only 2 games at first base. First base is his ticket to the majors, there are like 10 guys ahead of him in line for LF. At first base he just needs to be better than Kody Clemens.
  20. DJL44
    I hadn’t checked in a while. It looks like he is more 3B/2B now.
  21. DJL44
    Paul DeJong plans on opting out of his Yankees contract in a few days.
  22. DJL44
    If you want help from AAA you should be looking at other orgs. 1B - Michael Toglia, 940 ops; Felix Reyes, 999 ops; Niko Kavadas 1043 ops; Ryan Ward 991; Jonah Bride 966; 2B - Cesar Prieto, 994 OPS; Chad Stevens 938 RH platoon OF - Stuart Fairchild 968 OPS
  23. DJL44
    The AAA guys are mostly struggling in AAA. Roden looked ready before he injured his shoulder. Rodriguez is hitting for power and drawing walks but batting .239 while striking out 1/3 of the time. Everyone else is a mediocre AAA batter.
  24. DJL44
    Ryan Gallagher gets the promotion
  25. DJL44
    Just how bad do you want the defense to be? I think that would be worse than Bell.
