    He might not be a bust now, but he’s headed in that general direction. He’s clearly less interesting now than he was on draft day. He is striking out over 40% of the time and has been awful on defense. He will probably end up in Fort Myers for a 3rd straight season.

    They had an injury to a bench player and called up a bench player.

    It is not easy to make these decisions. Is Larnach struggling, or is it just a small sample size blip? Is Jenkins ready or did he just see a string of lousy AAA pitching? It takes about a month’s worth of plate appearances to really know. By the time they have enough data it will be September. A lot of this comes down to the manager. If Shelton won’t play Jenkins over Larnach, then they should keep him in AAA. If they wait long enough an injury will make the decision for them and they won’t have to stick their neck out.

    Young is currently following the Keoni Cavaco development path
  5. DJL44
    The Alex Jackson win streak continues. They can’t put him in a game until they lose.
  6. DJL44
    The Twins have the rights to Gomez for several more seasons

    Jeff Reardon was pretty good

    This isn’t just an MLB issue, this is all of college and professional sports. Gopher football could air on any of nine channels split across broadcast, cable and streaming. They won’t even tell you more than a month in advance which channel will broadcast the game or even what time the game will happen.

    Netflix shows three baseball events a year- Opening Day, the Home Run Derby and the field of dreams game. Why would I subscribe to Netflix for three baseball games? I saw all the video highlights on social media later. I watched the Saints play instead that night using the subscription I already paid for. I expect NBC in the future to air the first half of games over the air and the second half on streaming. This will probably happen in the playoffs. Subscribe if you want to see how the game ends.

    If they get more than 240 games combined from Buxton, Jenkins and Rodriguez they will have beat the odds. The Twins could have a very talented and very injury prone starting outfield in 2027.
  11. DJL44
    I am close to your roster, but I am guessing they use Wallner as the DH until he proves he can’t do it. Keaschall or Buxton is the DH vs LHP with Martin getting time in the outfield. There are several 2B available as free agents and a few others obtainable in trades.
  12. DJL44
    His spray chart has 8 hits, all to the pull side. He is going to need to learn how to take some pitches to the opposite field to unlock another level of performance on offense.
  13. DJL44
    He’s one of their best defenders. They can handle a 650 OPS to get his glove on the field.
  14. DJL44
    Do you think they can time things so the 80 games Buxton misses won’t overlap with the 80 games Jenkins misses?
  15. DJL44
    They can share the spot next season with Jenkins getting the games Buxton inevitably misses (and vice versa - Jenkins gets injured a lot as well). It is perfectly okay to have two good fielders in the outfield at the same time. Some teams have three of them.
  16. DJL44
    He’s doing fine so far
  17. DJL44
    The Alex Jackson win streak continues. Unfortunately for Jackson, the team absolutely can’t put him in a game until the streak ends.
  18. DJL44
    They will limit innings for Lopez and Abel coming off surgery. Someone else will get injured. They need 8-9 starters to get through the season.
  19. DJL44
    And yet, he’s much better than Mendez
  20. DJL44
    But they’re trying to win now and his OPS is 100 points higher than Mendez.
  21. DJL44
    The option rules still apply.
  22. DJL44
    Mendez has played 59 games in AAA. It won’t hurt him to play another 30 at that level. The Twins have a ton of options on the roster for LF, more than they can legitimately use in a single season. They also have Kalai Rosario, Ricardo Olivar, Caden Kendle and Khadim Diaw off the roster. They need to sell some of this depth to add infielders.
  23. DJL44
    Now do Wallner
  24. DJL44
    If they trade Joe Ryan they’ll keep Bailey Ober.
