  1. I would swap him with Lee. With Kepler leaving the Twins need Emmanuel Rodriguez more than they need SS/3B Lee who is blocked by Correa and Lewis. That said, there are no untouchables, just different levels of unlikely. This team shouldn't be buying much at the deadline which means the top 3 tiers are all unlikely to be traded.
  2. It isn't that difficult to find a RH hitting 2B/3B, that's basically the default for the position. They're paying Farmer like he can still play SS but that's a sunk cost now. I know Brooks Lee keeps getting mentioned but he hasn't played any 2B at all (only 1 game at Fort Myers) and he's not a RH batter so he doesn't make any sense for Farmer's role. They seem to want Lee to be insurance for Correa or Lewis instead. Plus, he has a 530 OPS in AAA at the moment.
  3. A .690 OPS is basically league average. A team can always handle a league average bat if it comes with premium defense.
  4. It is ironic that a "City Connect" themed uniform would highlight loons and sunsets over lakes, "MN" and the outline of the state and lots of other things that have little to do with the Twin Cities. The "TC" cap is more "city connect" than these uniforms. Can we call them the "City Disconnect" uniforms?
  5. It's been 5 starts. I assume he will be a candidate for the Futures Game. They can promote him after that.
  6. City connect uniforms make me glad I listen to games on the radio
  7. The backup QB fallacy at work again. If the Twins want to improve the major league roster it won't be with a minor league utility player. An 840 OPS in AAA is pretty unimpressive. Take 200 points off for a back of the envelope estimate and you would expect a 640 OPS in the majors. That's after the inevitable adjustment period that happens when players see major league pitching for the first time. There may not be a lot to lose (besides a playoff spot) but there's nothing to gain.
  8. Not called for. We both misunderstood what you were trying to say. I still don't understand it. This isn't on him, it's on you not making your point.
  9. Here's a tip for people who didn't enjoy that. Stop watching and find a different hobby. If you can't even enjoy the good seasons you are better off finding something else to do.
  10. This is the best stretch of Twins pitching over multiple seasons I can remember. I don't think he can squeeze that much more performance out of the pitchers. The hitters are supposed to be better than this.
  11. The problem isn't Margot vs Kirilloff. It's that either of them are on the roster in the first place.
  12. Throwing a temper tantrum isn't leadership, it's something you should learn not to do in kindergarten.
  13. They didn't buy in the offseason when the prices were lower. I'm not sure they want to try to win.
  14. This is most minor leaguers in every organization. Most minor leaguers don't make it.
  15. Gray took a discount to sign with the Cardinals. He has already given interviews about how much he loves the Cardinal organization. He didn't want to be a Twin, even if the money was better.
  16. Kirilloff's last 2 weeks in MLB: .280/.321/.600. That's more impressive than Wallner beating up on the Rochester Red Wings.
  17. I bet he can use one of those two lane roundabouts without getting into an accident.
  18. Blackmon is hitting as bad as Buxton and is mostly a DH at this point in his career. He hasn't played CF since 2018.
  19. That I can agree on wholeheartedly. They have managed to negotiate the worst television deal of any major sport.
