    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.
  2. DJL44
    I agree. Don’t trade for another James Outman.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. DJL44
    Fun game to watch. Bullpen was shaky but the wheels stayed on until the end.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. DJL44
    I am not convinced “Resets at AAA” are useful. AAA is homerrific right now, more likely to encourage bad habits than to correct flaws.
  9. DJL44
    This is a perfect, low-expectations time to break in a rookie. They have 3% odds to make the playoffs.
  10. DJL44
    The problem with keeping Clemens is he’s 30 and likely to be out of the league by 2029. Plus he’s eligible for arbitration starting next year so he is a likely non-tender after 2027. Who wants to pay Clemens $4M in 2028?
  11. DJL44
    He’s hitting .277/.306/.489 over the last two weeks. You usually DFA a player during a cold streak.
  12. DJL44
    Is August and September enough time?
  13. DJL44
    He’s not really blocking anyone except Wallner. FWIW, Bell reaches 10 years service time at game 109.
  14. DJL44
    Bailey Ober should be on the trade market as well.
  15. DJL44
    Culpepper and Roden are my picks. Cut Arcia and option Kreidler.
  16. DJL44
    They really have no choice but to keep playing him in the hopes that he heats up and a team is willing to take his backloaded contract at the trade deadline. That $1.25M buyout is a big chunk of what he is still owed.
  17. DJL44
    .280/.407/.540 in May and .391/.481/.696 so far in June. That’s exactly what Culpepper needs to do to force the promotion.
  18. DJL44
    It is true, unless you count the rehabbing Abel and Sands. Matthews, Prielipp, Morris and Paredes were promoted. Marco Raya has an ERA of 6.29. Klein has an ERA of 5.73 and is walking 4 batters per 9 innings. Funderburk has been lousy since his demotion. Festa is injured. The best options are 30-year-old lefty Aaron Rozek or CJ Culpepper, who has pitched 10 games in AAA.
  19. DJL44
    The Twins haven’t really cared about defense at second base since Todd Walker took over for Knoblauch.
  20. DJL44
    Junkballers are most useful when they throw strikes.
  21. DJL44
    Yes. He’s still trying to pull the outside pitch but his plate discipline has improved. It helps to swing at strikes.
  22. DJL44
    You should be very suspicious of stats from St Paul. Offense is very high in AAA. He ended up in Buffalo, where he currently has an ERA over 23. They can fast track Sands and Abel back to the Twins. There is nobody blocking their return.
  23. DJL44
    Breaks Lee was on base before the Bell HR but he got himself picked off. That was a really dumb time to try to steal 2B with one of their slowest runners.
  24. DJL44
    Every talented Saints pitcher is already up.
  25. DJL44
    Wichita could use some talent. Maybe they will get Winokur and Marek Houston after the draft.
