    I don’t see any reason NOT to play Bell. He’s performing and he’s not blocking any kids.
  2. DJL44
    Martin is very likely to make next season’s roster. He is still making minimum wage.
  3. DJL44
    Gonzalez has had an awful season in AAA. I don’t know why he was promoted. He needs reps and he’s not ready to face major league pitching.
  4. DJL44
    I didn’t think he was anything special. I still don’t, though he exceeded my expectations. The team hasn’t quit on him, which is a point in his favor.
  5. DJL44
    I expect Gonzalez to go down for Martin in a few days. They have carried Jackson this long, doubt they cut him now. Larnach has one option remaining and I think he is still less than 5 years service time. They might as well burn it while it still exists. The other player on his last option year is Kreidler. I would be fine sending him to AAA.
  6. DJL44
    Send Ross back to the minors and bring up Rodriguez like they should have done a week ago.
  7. DJL44
    That’s just one move though - bench Larnach and play Rodriguez. All the other players with a future are playing every day. Larnach has a .637 OPS in the 2nd half so a benching is justified.
  8. DJL44
    If they finish like they started they will get to 78 wins.
  9. DJL44
    I want to see if Kody can hit 30 HR
  10. DJL44
    Their margin for error is gone. They need to go 14-2 to make the playoffs. That is a level of performance they have rarely matched throughout their entire franchise history. 90% of the season is complete. They should be eliminated by the end of the next homestand. 76 wins is their mean end result with a 2 win standard deviation.
  11. DJL44
    I doubt having more complicated transaction rules will help this front office figure out how to put a winning team on the field.
  12. DJL44
    They have a 2% chance at the final wild card spot.
  13. DJL44
    I am going to guess Fedko got a minimum contract offer from several clubs and picked the Pirates.
  14. DJL44
    You didn’t understand me. Kreidler had 113 PA in St Paul with a 889 OPS. Ross had 418 PA with a 810 OPS. Gonzalez has 444 PA with a really bad 741 OPS. I don’t understand why either is on the MLB roster. I don’t understand why the Twins want to fill the bench with bad players who they refuse to play under any circumstance.
  15. DJL44
    That’s fine, but they still need Ross to begin 2027 in AAA as depth.
  16. DJL44
    Kreidler starts in the majors on the bench. Ross starts in AAA. The Twins have very few players who can competently play SS. They can’t afford to throw any away.
  17. DJL44
    They each had a rather large sample size at AAA that wasn’t impressive. Neither one could out-hit Ryan Kreidler.
  18. DJL44
    Not being all that good has been the reason Ross and Gonzalez are getting so few at bats.
  19. DJL44
    He’s already in a utility role
  20. DJL44
    Buxton has a bad hip, but a good arm (86 MPH). Keaschall can run but has a meh arm (83 MPH). Keaschall to LF, Buxton to RF. Jenkins in CF.
  21. DJL44
    I am guessing 5/$75M. They will give him an extra season to spread out the luxury tax.
  22. DJL44
    Jeffers nearly threw the game away into CF. He has played 8 games in a row behind the plate. Time to give him a breather.
  23. DJL44
    The free agent market is providing second basemen. The Twins could easily fit a new 2B into their infield. They need upgrades on defense, but those might come from within from Jenkins and Rodriguez.
  24. DJL44
    He’s hitting like a utility infielder. He can play 3B, 2B and 1B. Sounds like a utility infielder to me.
  25. DJL44
    He’s unlikely to hit .380 in the majors like he has in Double-A but there is a lot of room to fall and still contribute. He absolutely should begin 2027 in AAA. He should be in the 15-20 range for Twins prospects.
