    He would rank roughly 8th among 2B. They just named the All Star Game roster. I only counted four second basemen.
  2. DJL44
    Watching the Saints game. Jeffers has hit a home run and threw a runner out at 2B. He looks ready to join the team on Tuesday. I hope he comes up for Fedko. Alex Jackson can be the 13th guy. He’s fast enough to pinch run and he’s already ahead of Fedko on the pinch hitting depth chart. He’s even played 160 games in the outfield in the minors.

    He’s ranked 98th in Fangraphs WAR.

    Another dud outing from Rojas. He has not looked the same since returning from the IL.
  5. DJL44
    Eventually Culpepper will turn 30…
  6. DJL44
    It doesn’t matter. Both are losing strategies.
  7. DJL44
    The Yankees have lost 7 in a row and several players are dealing with food poisoning (or maybe a parasite?). Twins are getting swept.
  8. DJL44
    They’re stretching him out to put him in the rotation. That’s reasonable when Mike Paredes is getting starts and Connor Prielipp is getting skipped to keep his innings down.
  9. DJL44
    Here’s what I expect they will do. A contender will trade for a bullpen upgrade and they will have to let someone go to open the roster spot. They will cut someone out of options and the Twins will trade a minor leaguer they don’t like to obtain him. That’s what happened in 2024 with Trevor Richards.

    For the Houston series, Buxton was hurt. They’re not going to use the backup C. They had two backups and wouldn’t use Fedko.
  11. DJL44
    They will be less effective per inning. That’s the trade off.

    I saw elsewhere that Preston Johnson is the proud father of twins
  13. DJL44
    He hasn’t thrown since his shoulder surgery 16 months ago. If he pitches at all, even in the minors, it will be a miracle.
  14. DJL44
    A couple more factors Roden and Rodriguez are probably more important to promote. They need to know if Roden can adjust to MLB pitching or if he is quad A player. They need to see Rodriguez because he is out of options next year. Wallner might get another look. Even Mendez could get a call up since he’s on the roster. They don’t have room to add five outfielders to the 26-man roster, even if they trade Larnach and Bell. Contract negotiations. I hope they are negotiating a long-term pre-debut contract for Jenkins. If they aren’t willing to bet on him, they won’t be willing to bet on anyone. Prospect promotion incentives. Jenkins isn’t going to win ROY this season but he could next year. They will want to keep him rookie eligible for 2027.

    Kody Clemens has a 624 OPS vs lefties. Austin Martin has a 780 OPS vs LHP. Keaschall can start at 2B and move to the OF when they pinch hit Clemens for Austin Martin.
  16. DJL44
    Sounds like the Yankees have several players recovering from food poisoning.
  17. DJL44
    Terry Ryan had his fair share of poor up the middle defenders. The 2010 team was actually Bill Smith in charge.
  18. DJL44
    Look at his whole career. It is a history of hot and cold streaks. He won’t maintain June forever. He is like Minnesota weather in April. Depending on the wind direction we are either 10 degrees above or below average but never the average temperature.
  19. DJL44
    Morris might be better than all of those guys.
  20. DJL44
    Pitching while fatigued inevitably leads to injury. He can’t do his job injured.
  21. DJL44
    Aaron Rozek has out pitched Funderburk in AAA. He’s worth a look. He could give them an ERA around 5 instead of around 7. Relief pitching is the most overpriced thing to buy at the trade deadline. The Twins are about 5 relievers away from a playoff bullpen. I expect them to grab an arm or two off waivers from a team that upgraded their bullpen by trade and that’s about it.
  22. DJL44
    Gray is from Texas and played college ball at Rice. He got three games at SS in front of his family and friends. He can sit in New York against the lefty starters. Get Kreidler back to SS.
  23. DJL44
    Funderburk or Adams would also work. They’re trying to stretch Rojas out as a starter. I expect him to be in the rotation after the trade deadline.
  24. DJL44
    Will Keaschall move back to 2B with Clemens to the bench? If Buxton is not back, they have to give him an IL stint and call someone up.
  25. DJL44
    Caratini needs the off day. He got beat up behind the plate. Get some ice and some sleep, Vic.
