    Wallner had a hot week but the Saints had little trouble scoring against Rochester (48 runs in 7 games). That's bad pitching. In the past month Wallner is only hitting .180 against AAA pitching. He needs to take his production this week and extend it for a whole month before I would think about bringing him back.

    I don't think Julien will be in AAA long but I'm also not sure he can work on what he needs to improve in AAA. I don't know if the AAA pitchers will use the same strategy to try to get him out because I'm not sure how many of them actually have the command to be successful using that strategy. I do hope Julien plays against every LHP in AAA to try to improve that weakness.

    Yes, even if they continue the every other day starting catcher rotation they could pinch hit Jeffers for Vazquez late in the games.
  4. DJL44
    When Lewis comes back I am hoping to see less of Jeffers at DH for this reason.
  5. DJL44
    Camargo just came off the injured list. The other AAA catchers are hitting .193 and .194 and they're both worse defenders than Vazquez. You have to go down to A-ball to find a Twins minor league catcher who is hitting well.
  6. DJL44
    Vazquez should never be the DH. The only reason to put him in the lineup is for defense.
  7. DJL44
    Even if you exclude Austin Martin's 7 walk game he's walking twice as often as he's been striking out.

    The "let's bring up Festa" article is aging like fresh fish.

    https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/loss-aversion Even if the Twins had evenly lost and gained players it would "feel" like they had lost more. You have to gain at a 2-1 ratio to make it "feel" even.
  10. DJL44
    It says you haven't signed many bad free agents. Teams make free agent signings worse than Vazquez all the time.

    Ricardo Olivar in May: .330/.419/.582 and just 15K in 105PA. Plus, he plays catcher.
  13. DJL44
    This is a defensible position. He has little left to learn in AAA but he's not doing enough to keep his MLB roster spot.
  14. DJL44
    Castro is both which gives you flexibility to cut either.
  15. DJL44
    I hope someone else believes this. Margot's best hitting season is a 104 OPS+ and his career line is a 90 OPS+. He's always been known as a glove-first outfielder but he's slower now and not covering as much range. He might catch fire and be adequate but that's the upside. The downside we've already seen for the first 6 weeks of the season.

    If I had to create a current depth chart for the Twins current outfield talent it would go Kepler Buxton Castro Larnach Kirilloff Martin Margot Keirsey Rodriguez (and he's going to move past most of those guys soon) Wallner
  17. DJL44
    Olivar is hitting nearly as well as Keaschall did at the same level. Will he be ready when the Vazquez contract is over?
  18. DJL44
    Best case scenario is a team with no outfield depth looks at Margot's productivity during the last week and decides it's worth taking on a million dollars of his salary to acquire him. Twins send Margot and cash for a low level prospect.
  19. DJL44
    5 years before the cutoff here
  20. DJL44
    They should definitely replace the GM if they don't trust themselves to make a good trade.
  21. DJL44
    Gallo was a bad signing when it was announced. The last thing the Twins needed on the roster was another LH outfield bat. His performance was as bad as most predicted.
  22. DJL44
    None of these are that bad. Most are only 1 year deals which helps. They also were able to mitigate the downside on the Donaldson contract. Look at Colorado's signing of Kris Bryant which will devastate their franchise for the length of the contract. That's a terrible free agent deal.
  23. DJL44
    My mind read those aloud in Bob Casey's voice.
  24. DJL44
    You can pay millions to win or millions to lose but to play the game it will cost tens of millions.
  25. DJL44
    Mechanics are more important than velocity as an indicator. If he's not repeating his mechanics it's time to give him a rest.
