    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.
  2. 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.
  3. DJL44
    He’s hitting like a utility infielder. He can play 3B, 2B and 1B. Sounds like a utility infielder to me.
  4. 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.
  5. DJL44
    Why are you sure his arm will improve? Arm strength is one thing that remains stable for almost every defender until they hit 30 and it starts to decline. His speed makes him a better fit for LF in Minnesota because it is considerably bigger than RF.
  6. DJL44
    Gonzalez is an average AAA player. He shouldn’t have been called up in the first place. Sitting on the bench in the majors isn’t doing him any good.
  7. DJL44
    There is always downside risk, but the earlier you sign the extension, the smaller the downside
  8. DJL44
    That’s why Keaschall should learn 1B. They have outfielders who can hit better than that.
  9. DJL44
    I think Keaschall should work on both 1B and LF in the offseason. He’s not going to be the best fielder at either spot but some versatility could keep him out of playing DH.
  10. DJL44
    I am ready to see Martin up for Gonzalez
  11. DJL44
    I can't see Abel or Lopez bouncing back to pitch 160+ innings next season. I expect both pitchers will have their innings monitored closely. Worst case, they can stash Ober in the bullpen until he's needed in the rotation.
  12. DJL44
    Bailey Ober has the 3rd highest bWAR of any pitcher on the Twins
  13. DJL44
    Weak arm goes to LF. He seems to be getting better in the OF. He's fast enough to cover some ground.
  14. DJL44
    Orze had a FIP of 3.34 versus his ERA of 5.66 and he's a groundball pitcher (which means the Twins infield defense did him dirty). He has a 2.65 ERA in AAA. He's been more impressive than Acton for the Saints. He's also not arbitration eligible until 2029.
  15. DJL44
    That’s Luke Keaschall
  16. DJL44
    That doesn’t matter as much if he continues to walk 4-5 batters per 9 innings. His control is his problem, not his stuff. I am rooting for him, but he is going to be 29 with very little time in the major leagues. It is a bad sign he is still working on a 3rd pitch at age 28.
  17. DJL44
    Those are exactly the extensions the Twins are missing out on. Once the player “proves it”, they’re in arbitration already and too expensive. I would like to see contract extensions for Taj Bradley, Luke Keaschall, Walker Jenkins, and Kaelen Culpepper this offseason.
  18. DJL44
    The Twins have used 20 different relief pitchers this season so the idea of an 8-man bullpen is misleading. Optionable minor league depth is necessary. That’s Acton’s role in 2027.
  19. DJL44
    Which is a huge favor to the Twins. Take the draft pick and reallocate spending to second base and pitching.
  20. DJL44
    Why can other teams extend their players but the Twins can’t ever do it? They have extended Lopez, Buxton and Randy Dobnak. Is Minneapolis an undesirable place to spend a career, but Milwaukee is a land of ambrosia and prosperity?
  21. DJL44
    It’s going to be a long offseason. You might not want to use up articles like this in September.
  22. DJL44
    They would need to find a team who wants him at 3B because he doesn’t hit enough for 1B.
  23. DJL44
    Portland would be a great addition to the Pacific Coast League
  24. DJL44
    And by all in, you mean they will run back the exact same roster minus Ryan Jeffers.
  25. DJL44
    Looks like the Twins will be eliminated right about the same time the Saints end their season. It would be nice to see Emmanuel Rodriguez debut in San Francisco.
