    Pat Borzi mentioned that the knee injury keeps him from being able to load when he swings. Why are Minnesota Twins fans not celebrating the team’s 1st place standing? | MinnPost

    He had nearly a month where he contributed positively in the bullpen in the major leagues. I didn't think that would happen. I expected he would pitch himself off the roster and end up in some other organization by July. He hasn't been a "ranked" prospect in quite a while.
  4. DJL44
    Really? He exceeded my expectations.

    Is Luplow vs elite starting pitching better?
  6. DJL44
    Can he play 1B?

    If the Twins sign Taylor it will need to be at the beginning of free agency because he will not last on the market long. That would answer a lot of questions (negatively) about Buxton's knee. I think they'll roll with Castro, Gordon and Martin in CF next year with the hope that Martin wins that competition.

    Would you prefer Alonso or Goldschmidt? Plenty of time for these articles in November. Right now I'm enjoying the magic number thread more.

    I think Taylor will get a lot of attention in free agency this offseason. There are very few center fielders available. Bellinger and Bader are the only guys under 30. Of the rest only Kiermaier had a better season than Taylor. I don't think the Twins will be the high bidder.

    Why? If he gets injured he can be replaced.
  12. DJL44
    This is true, but the computer isn't calling the black part of the plate. The umpires (and hitters) know it and have shrunk the zone to match the computer.

    Time on the injured list will not grow cartilage in your knee. If that is the issue he will continue to have chronic injury problems with the knee. I still hope he's able to return for the playoffs. I'd rather have him on the bench than Jordan Luplow.

    They also have to make the adjustment to the larger strike zone in MLB versus AAA. The automated strike zone does the batters no favors for developing as a hitter.
  16. DJL44
    The umpire's job is to call balls and strikes, not encourage the batter to swing. A ball just off the corner has a 50/50 chance of being called a strike. That's a .500 OBP if you take the pitch (which is elite). It's worth a 50% strikeout rate if you also have a .500 OBP.

    You assume he hasn't been doing much with his knee. I assume his life has been nearly constant rehab since the surgery. Without a medical opinion I can't guess whether he will recover but it doesn't look good so far.
  19. DJL44
    Probably on a different team.
  20. DJL44
    It's time to give him a season in the big leagues and see what happens. There's no reason to stash him in AAA for another season.
  21. DJL44
    Can he rehab the shoulder injury enough that his power returns? If not, he's not going to make it. I think that's been the root cause all season.
  22. DJL44
    The Twins control Ober until the end of 2027, at which point he will be 32 years old. There is very little incentive to give him a long-term contract.
  23. DJL44
    I'm not. There aren't that many pitchers who can successfully pitch 5 innings in the big leagues. If you go to a 6 man rotation on the Twins you're giving innings to someone like Headrick instead of Sonny Gray. There are a lot more pitchers who can get through 1 inning than can get through 6 innings.
  24. DJL44
    As far as getting maximum production out of Ober I think they've handled him well. He's pitched great this season. They will be counting on him again next season.
  25. DJL44
    And his defense has been adequate across the infield.
