  1. That’s the problem. Adding one star player to this roster isn’t enough. This team needs to continually trade old and expensive for younger, more talented and cheaper. That has made the Brewers and Rays perennial contenders.
  2. If you look at the stats, Outman has outperformed Jenkins this year.
  3. Adding Sonny Gray improved the team from 73 wins to 78 wins. It took another year to pay off.
  4. Then they will dominate the minors and force the issue on their own.
  5. The free agent market has depth at 2B and not at other positions. Based on supply and demand, that’s the best thing to purchase. The Twins have very little middle infield depth so it is a good fit for team needs. Clemens can move to several other positions and contribute. I would add a second baseman to the team.
  6. Based on how they have played this season, I would burn an option on Jenkins and start him in the minors with Roden in the majors. With the Twins injury history Jenkins will be up in 2-3 weeks anyway.
  7. The Twins only get 5 years from a player before they’re forced to trade them. Do you really want to use one of those 5 years “seeing how things shake out”?
  8. Ober currently has the 2nd highest bWAR on the pitching staff.
  9. With Jenkins and Rodriguez there should be plenty of playing time for the 5th and 6th outfielders as well.
  10. If you go back further, the authors plan is what they did with Killebrew. He was below average at several positions so they played him wherever they needed him. Of course, the DH role didn’t exist then.
  11. You want Luke Keaschall in the outfield full time and Buxton at DH full time. The pitchers are going to hate that.
  12. So that means neither Rodriguez or Jenkins will ever be considered the best CF on the roster…
  13. No. The Twins made their bullpen undeniably better at the trade deadline and went into a tailspin shortly thereafter.
  14. The metrics assume an average defense behind the pitchers. The Twins could lower team ERA by half a run with an average defense.
  15. I don’t see the point of watching batters who are barely keeping up with AAA fail against MLB pitching.
