    You’ve never heard of Kyle Schwarber? He’s a pretty well known player.
  2. DJL44
    I hope you realize that 90% of what fielding percentage measures for a first baseman is “can he catch a ball thrown directly at him?”. Royce has two steps more range than Sabato in either direction.
  3. DJL44
    If he ages like a typical player he might not last until then.
  4. DJL44
    They already have control over Clemens for the next three seasons after this one, ages 31-33. Castro was 27 in 2024.
  5. DJL44
    A good example of the effect of lineup position on RBI totals. Buxton is 12th in runs scored and he has mostly batted leadoff. That’s what you want from the leadoff hitter.
  6. DJL44
    He’s worse than. Royce Lewis at basically everything - offense, defense, base running.
  7. DJL44
    So Sabato gets playing time and Keaschall gets benched. Why do you think this is so easy?
  8. DJL44
    If Sabato plays DH he will be stealing playing time from Mendez. I suppose you could use both of them as a platoon DH but that seems like a waste of a roster spot.
  9. DJL44
    To really give Sabato a shot, they would need to bench Royce Lewis. Likewise, Fedko would steal playing time from Austin Martin. That seems short sighted.
  10. DJL44
    2028 is starting to feel optimistic for a turnaround. Their only method of acquiring major league players appears to be the waiver wire. They have squandered their trade value for a rebuild foolishly chasing 80 wins in 2026.
  11. DJL44
    There are very few kids to bring up and let play. Culpepper and Mendez are the only players making a case for a promotion. Fedko and Sabato are not young - they look a lot more like the 28-year-old castoffs they pick up on waivers from other organizations. Roden, Rodriguez and Jenkins are dealing with injuries. Gonzalez has been struggling at the plate in an easy league to hit in. All the AAA pitching is up and Wichita is barren of talent.

    Obviously I am honing my standup routine. Glad you are enjoying it.
  13. DJL44
    Gray hits lefthanded, which means he can pinch hit for all the other infielders who hit right handed. I would cut Arcia, option Kreidler and bring up Culpepper and Roden.
  14. DJL44
    You laughed at it, which makes me question your sense of humor.
  15. DJL44
    I can’t imagine any team has a good record when they don’t score runs.
  16. DJL44
    What’s yours?
  17. DJL44
    Royce Lewis in 5 games since returning .316/.381/.526
  18. DJL44
    The Twins were able to maximize platoon advantages by using three shortstops to go 0 for 4.
  19. DJL44
    How about Tyler Fitzgerald? He was a decent starter for the Giants in 2024 and was tearing up AAA before the Dodgers released him. He has adequate range at 2B and adds speed on the bases.
  20. DJL44
    I agree. Don’t trade for another James Outman.
  21. DJL44
    I would rather he pitches for the Twins next to prevent another bullpen game. Even if they hold him to 75 pitches, that’s more than they will get out of the bulk reliever.
  22. DJL44
    I really hope he performs well. If he doesn’t he will eventually get non-tendered. If he performs well he is likely to get traded. He can play third base well enough to start there for a different team.
  23. DJL44
    Fun game to watch. Bullpen was shaky but the wheels stayed on until the end.
  24. DJL44
    It takes time and repetition. He has the athleticism to play second base. This might be the first time he actually has struggled to perform as an athlete. MLB is difficult and unforgiving.
  25. DJL44
    So that level of production is exactly what they hired him for in the first place. If he keeps it up they will find another team willing to take on at least part of the contract.
