    Kirby Yates is worth mentioning as well. It is no surprise that the defending champions have a lot of talent if they want to sell.

    Abstain, I only get to watch the nationally televised games.

    He's getting that based on a contract he signed years ago when he was performing better. The $4M the Twins are paying Margot is a much better indicator of his current market value.

    I don't think any reliever should be on the All-Star team. I'll make an exception for bad teams without an obvious representative and Mariano Rivera.
  5. DJL44
    Thank goodness
  6. DJL44
    Please, no. We've already seen the best years of Max Kepler's career.
  7. DJL44
    About $8-12M per season because he can catch the ball.
  8. DJL44
    Somebody should tell him because he seems unaware of that.

    Sometimes it takes some adversity to get a player to make the necessary changes.

    He can pitch. His stuff is not overwhelming but he gets outs with good command and changing speeds.
  13. DJL44
    Batting .276 when he's not pinch hitting. Subtract his pinch hitting and he's had a decent season.
  14. DJL44
    I suppose he could be a Twins Hall of Famer but he doesn't have much of a resume. He's never been an All-Star. He has two AL Player of the week awards in 10 seasons. That's about it. He's been a solid player but I don't think of him as a Twins all-time great.

    They needed a corner OF and Wallner fits the description. They can platoon him with Castro and Margot. Larnach looks pretty average, which is not a bad thing at all. Not sure where to look up Kepler's numbers over the same stretch but he didn't have a good June. The Twins have too many position players (they have 4 guys who could start at 3B for most teams) and not enough pitching. A trade should happen.
  16. DJL44
    Wallner and Julien will be terrible platoon players vs LH pitchers which is what the Twins are paying Margot and Farmer to do.

    Polanco OPS by month April 604 May 572 June 474 (only 5 games due to injury) July 347
  18. DJL44
    Great to see him come back stronger after shoulder surgery. Some players don't.
  19. DJL44
    Why can't you use Staumont in the 7th? That's a great place to use Staumont.
  20. DJL44
    That is one reason his career BABIP is so high.
  21. DJL44
    Me either, and Austin Martin is batting .400 since his callup.
  22. DJL44
    Why? Recency bias, for one. He was definitely trending down when he was demoted but he also was one of the only players hitting worth a damn in April. Games in April still count in the standings. Even as he was trending down and struggling he was still picking up walks which is an underrated skill. There are a few posters here who just hate Julien for some reason. Others are apoplectic about strikeouts. Castro has definitely taken the position. He's having a phenomenal year and he probably brings the most value to the team playing regularly at 2B for the near future. I don't think the door is closed for Julien. He has an OBP of .387 in AAA (.539 over the last week!) because he has an elite batting eye. If he can make the adjustment to pitches down and in he's going to be right back in the major leagues. It took Wallner a month to make adjustments and he's crushing pitches now.
  23. DJL44
    In the context of second basemen in MLB in the 2024 season. Look up his WAA on Baseball Reference and it says 0.0 - exactly league average performance.
  24. DJL44
    I think it's a push. I agree that a trade seems likely.
  25. DJL44
    The other teams get to face bad pitching too. It isn't like the Twins are the only teams who get to play the White Sox and Rockies. There are complaints that the best pitchers shut down the Twins lineup. That's what the best pitchers do - they shut down other teams. That's why they're the best pitchers. They're not the murderer's row Yankees but in a year where offense has been difficult to find for most teams the Twins are doing pretty well.
