    This team has a fondness for being 2 games under .500. They’re not a contending team in 2026. Buxton should be back in a few days.

    Great night for Jenkins. Turning his raw power into game power is really the last step in his development.
  3. DJL44
    Talking contract extension this offseason? Arbitration is not going to be kind to him with his overall stats.
  4. DJL44
    Nice to see Tristan Gray, Alan Roden and Alex Jackson play and spark the team to a win.
  5. DJL44
    Eight
  6. DJL44
    They probably should sign Jenkins to a long term contract before promoting him.
  7. DJL44
    5th starter or middle reliever upside.
  8. DJL44
    Kreidler’s bat is so bad that the only position he can justify starting in the lineup is at SS. If he isn’t the starter at SS, he needs to sit on the bench and wait to enter as a pinch runner and defensive replacement in the 8th inning. He should never be in the starting lineup as an outfielder with all the options the Twins have available.
  9. DJL44
    Yeah, stupid Roden and Gray losing this game tonight with their combined 0 for 0 performance.
  10. DJL44
    You want to cut Kody Clemens?
  11. DJL44
    You asked for an arbitrary number
  12. DJL44
    10 HR in AAA

    Roden had a 909 OPS in St Paul this season in 151 PA. Jenkins has an 831 OPS in 233 PA at the same level. I will bet Jenkins has the better career, but right now they’re basically the same player. Good control of the strike zone, good contact and not enough power. Jenkins has a little more speed but they’re not calling him up to sit on the bench and pinch run.

    Are they ready is half of it. Do they give the team their best chance at winning versus playing other players? Culpepper is almost ready and making him the starter is probably better than using Kreidler. I would plan to promote him August 15. Jenkins is not ready and I don’t think he helps the team win more than the outfielders they are already using. He’s not better than Keaschall, Buxton or Larnach. He is probably about as good as Roden and Martin. I would leave him in AAA for the rest of the season to play every day. I would promote Rodriguez and probably Wallner before Jenkins.

    People here are going to lose their minds when rosters expand and they call up…. Matt Wallner.
  16. DJL44
    He’s a better hitter than Kreidler. Kreidler is the only infielder likely to need a pinch hitter.
  17. DJL44
    Okay. So if Culpepper or Jenkins needed to be added to the 40-man this offseason it wouldn’t matter if they were called up now. They don’t have to be added until 2027.
  18. DJL44
    Having Jackson on the roster lets them pinch hit with Jeffers or Caratini every single game. They should be using that roster move more often.
  19. DJL44
    I don’t think service time accrues until 3/26. 3/9 is spring training.
  20. DJL44
    DFA Josh Bell and add Jenkins? That seems unlikely to improve the offense.
  21. DJL44
    Buxton does not have a season ending injury. If he goes back on the IL, they can address it later. I don’t see a good reason to call up Jenkins and option him back to the minors in 4 days. That seems like a waste of an option and a 40-man roster spot.
  22. DJL44
    They need to make one move in 4 days - Buxton to the active roster. Once Buxton returns there is no spot for Jenkins in the outfield. I think they will hold onto Jackson until the end of the season. They get another roster spot in September.
  23. DJL44
    That’s Brandon Crawford’s career.
  24. DJL44
    Noah Miller should be available as a six year minor league free agent in December of 2027. I doubt the Dodgers add him to the 40-man roster.
  25. DJL44
    Taylor Rogers does not look like he belongs in a contender’s bullpen. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/taylor-rogers-573124?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb He is has been easy to hit, but difficult to hit hard. He is very dependent on his defense.
