    Roden was playing better than Jenkins in AAA so I would say the answer is no, he’s not the best option at the moment. The Twins need to manage assets like Culpepper and Jenkins strategically. You don’t call them up to play part time like Martin and Roden. Personally, I would prefer they sign Jenkins to a long term contract before he debuts.
  2. DJL44
    Jenkins is doing a lot of things right, but only has 4HR in the launchpad of AAA. He still has things to work on.

    It would be nice if Emmanuel Rodriguez was healthy and ready to debut. Those three would mainly sit on the bench. Buxton, Keaschall, Martin and Roden would play outfield with Wallner and Fedko as a platoon DH. If you don’t want Fedko back, they could give Sabato or Gonzalez a try.
  4. DJL44
    Trade Jeffers, Larnach and Bell (if anyone wants him). Keep the rest and try again next season. Replace with Wallner, Fedko and Gray (for August). Promote Rodriguez ASAP, Jenkins and Culpepper in mid September.

    Do we even need to worry about a team trading for Joe Ryan? He looked terrible tonight.
  6. DJL44
    Isn’t Rojas already a power LH reliever?

    Walker Jenkins has not had a swing and miss on a ball in the strike zone this season. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/walker-jenkins-max-clark-headline-10-statcast-standouts/?fbclid=IwdGRjcATLPOJwZG9mAWZkaWQWUK48GkjpzxKd-vm2JZ56SCgM_2uIW2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR4EJUD5dBjw3-TuMOPjGiQWewYNEZGSZrvfXDoEvyfySZAb08mA_HmPpIqMgQ_aem_yfwK_mgHB-Hzgcq0KAMc1Q

    Billy Amick is hitting .212 and has already racked up 100 strikeouts this season. He doesn’t play catcher or shortstop so that is not going to get it done.

    This could be career ending for Festa
  10. DJL44
    Disappointed. No mention of Brian Harper.

    The Reds are selling. Brady Singer, Pierce Johnson, Brock Burke and Caleb Ferguson will all be available.
  13. DJL44
    Jeffers won’t be a Twin next year unless they pay him more than any other team is willing to pay him.
  14. DJL44
    Prielipp and Rojas might learn something from Ray.
  15. DJL44
    I think “make good trades” needs to be the strategy. If what they get is worth more than they give up, and it helps make the 40-man roster better, make the deal. They could sell Jeffers for high end prospects and buy Gausman or Robbie Ray for prospects they like less. The 40-man roster has too many outfielders and catchers and not enough pitching. Time to fix that.

    50/50 is a reasonable chance the ball gets caught. Bell made a mistake rounding third. He should have played station to station baseball and been content with third base. He forgot he was Josh Bell for a minute. Lee needs to look at where the other base runners are and not try to run into them.
  17. DJL44
    Gonzalez needs to hit, because he doesn’t have all that much more to offer.
  18. DJL44
    There isn’t a starter who will cost that much. Only 1/3 of the season remains so a $24M salary player only costs $8M. That’s the best part of trading for high salary veteran rental players.
  19. DJL44
    Bell sat on 2B because there was a chance the ball would get caught. In baseball jargon they call that “tagging up”. He took too big of a turn at 3B and got burned for it. Most baseunners do not try to run with their head down to an occupied base ahead of them. That’s just dumb. Lee had plenty of time to get back to first base when they ran Bell down.
  20. DJL44
    Bell rounded third too far, but a mistake means he can score. Lee rounded first base too far and the base ahead of him was occupied.
  21. DJL44
    He has options one more season so he has plenty of time. He’s a 4th outfielder just like Austin Martin.
  22. DJL44
    Don’t bother. It is a total garbage stat that does a terrible job of assigning credit to individual players. Just look at the chart and ignore the assigned player values.
  23. DJL44
    You don’t need an analytics department to tell you the defense is bad when it is that bad.
  24. DJL44
    Interesting that they have built up this offensive talent while filling their draft with pitching. It helps a LOT to hit on your first round picks.
  25. DJL44
    Not making the moves - lots of people saw the need to improve the defense. He deserves all the credit for getting the players committed to making the moves. Moving Royce Lewis off 3B has worked a lot better for Shelton than it did for Baldelli. Shelton knows the job is about managing people, not filling out the lineup card.
