    Outman has played 5 games for the Twins. They aren’t going to rotate in new players every 5 games. That would be an insane amount of roster churn.
  2. DJL44
    By next week someone here will be ready to cut him and bring up Payton Eeles. Heck, someone might have already said that and I missed it.

    There isn't much more to learn about Julien. He's plateaued as a baseball player. Sabato is hitting worse than Jonah Bride and Dashawn Keirsey in AAA. I am ambivalent about Cardenas. I do think Abel should come up. He doesn't have that much left to learn in AAA. I think Urena will be replaced with Lopez shortly.

    I think he's at Cedar Rapids

    I'm just telling you what my opinion is based on.

    A bit surprised I don't have to buy a personal seat license for my couch and a separate one for my recliner.

    Unbelievable. This group couldn't run a lemonade stand. Is there some sort of collusion among owners to make sure prices stay high even when nobody is buying the tickets?

    Welcome to Major League Baseball.

    The Cardinals are raising season ticket prices 15% amidst a losing season with plummeting attendance. How much will the Twins raise season ticket prices?
  10. DJL44
    The only thing I liked about this season was TwinsTV streaming. Not thrilled to pay double the price for next season.
  11. DJL44
    I cut the cord. My TV provider is an antenna. Maybe they will have a bundle with Disney+.
  12. DJL44
    I can't believe they think doubling the price for streaming is a good idea. Report: ESPN closes in on Twins TV rights with deal that could raise prices

    Fangraphs says he's the worst batter (non-pitcher) in Twins history with > 90 PA. He's hitting .116 for his career with 33K against 2BB in 99PA but keep on hoping.
  14. DJL44
    Better question, will anyone be watching? The ESPN TV rumors would make me a radio fan again.
  15. DJL44
    Yes, and the likelihood is less than 40% of those 20 will. They'll find 6-8 guys out of 20 and hope they find another 6-8 guys out of 20 in 2027.

    In order to compete next season, they need three of Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Culpepper and Jenkins to force their way to the majors. I think one of the four might but expecting three to do it is unlikely. They also need Royce Lewis to hit, find a 1B and add three effective relievers. I think they will trade Joe Ryan and probably Bailey Ober as well, but I think they'll keep Pablo Lopez around as a mentor to the younger pitchers. I think Larnach is likely gone. Vazquez only returns if he signs for $1M. Their highest paid players would be Lopez ($22M), Buxton ($15M) and Jeffers ($9M). Lewis ($3M) and Topa ($2M) would be their only other players who make more than the minimum. That's an $82M payroll when you include the $10M they owe Correa. If they add veterans, I hope they add defense like they did with Bader. Lewis and Buxton are the only plus defenders on the roster.

    I heard a good interview with Toby Gardenhire about Prielipp. He said his stuff is great and he's getting ahead of batters but having trouble finishing them off. That will lead to higher pitch counts.
  19. DJL44
    No, I just assumed the original poster was using career numbers for everything. I suppose could have figured it out but I have a limited amount of time to fact check posts. I will still stand by my statement that he’s not one of the top 20 problems to solve.
  20. DJL44
    He's had 871 PAs and only had a chance to drive in runners in 58 of them in his entire career? That's crazy low for opportunities.
  21. DJL44
    Development time for your best players. Service time for players who aren't ready yet. Actual players from your organization because you have to cut someone to bring someone else up. If their talent evaluation process becomes "throw players at the wall and see which ones stick" then they all need to go.
  22. DJL44
    Trying to pull every slider away isn't helping Royce Lewis.
  23. DJL44
    To be fair to Clemens, 1B isn't even his best position. A 95 OPS+ is plenty good enough for a utility player, which is what Kody Clemens is. He's only an everyday 1B on this team because they're desperate. On a good team he's your 10th best position player on the roster. The fact that they have a utility player as their everyday starting 1B tells you all you need to know about the Twins offense.
  24. DJL44
    RBI are mostly about whether or not the players batting ahead of you have a high OBP.
  25. DJL44
    That's wrong. He has 27 RBI in 79 games this season. His career average over 162 games is 75 RBI. He's not an all-star, but he's clearly a major league hitter.
