    Relievers are used for particular matchups. Most batters are right handed. It's hard to find enough left-on-left matchups to use four lefthanded relievers.
  2. DJL44
    What reliever on the waiver wire do you wish Zoll had picked up instead of the guys he picked up? He's sorting through the discards. There is a reason other teams didn't want them. The only real whiff I see is cutting Woods Richardson before they ever gave him a real chance in the bullpen.

    I can't see them loading up the bullpen with four lefties.
  4. DJL44
    One strikeout in 10 batters is well below par for Rojas.
  5. DJL44
    It has been pretty much the same defense in St. Paul.

    Buxton is signed for two more seasons beyond this one, until age 34. They can wait another season before they talk about extending him for ages 35-36. The new CBA is going to put a hold on extension talk for everyone anyway.

    Gabriel Gonzalez still has a lot to prove in AAA.
  8. DJL44
    Play a week healthy
  9. DJL44
    They should probably cut him

    Rojas was bad on Thursday pitching for the Saints but he didn’t walk four batters in a row.
  11. DJL44
    Agree that Kreidler deserves more playing time at SS. They can have him replace Gray on defense more often and get more starts. Gray will still be available to pinch hit for Kreidler if the situation calls for it. I think they should be done playing Kreidler anywhere except SS. They have better options for CF.
  12. DJL44
    Rojas is with the Twins, but he hasn’t pitched that well of late.
  13. DJL44
    Maybe after the trade deadline thins out the roster. Otherwise, he is waiting for someone to get injured.
  14. DJL44
    I like it, except Keaschall can’t be a utility guy since he can’t play defense. He could move to LF with Larnach in RF (or traded).
  15. DJL44
    Last year’s trade deadline was absolutely necessary. Nobody forced the Twins to spend their offseason adding relievers nobody else wanted. They could have easily bid on some pitchers who had other options. Another reason why they rank so low in bullpen ERA is their defense. Combine relievers with low strikeout rates and an inadequate defense and bad results are expected.
  16. DJL44
    Roden in RF and Clemens at 2B improves the defense at two spots.
  17. DJL44
    If you fill the roster with bad defenders, you should expect bad defense. They punted SS to begin the season. This is the predictable result.
  18. DJL44
    Orlando Arcia was the worst SS in baseball last season and was just passed over by the entire league on waivers. He is back in St Paul. That doesn’t mean Gray is a good SS, but he has more value than Arcia.
  19. DJL44
    What playing time has Fedko earned?
  20. DJL44
    I actually have tickets to see the Twins play vs Cleveland and I went to a game in April. That’s as many times as I went in the previous 4 years combined. I agree. Nobody should let the Pohlads get in the way of enjoying a game at Target Field.
  21. DJL44
    I don't think they're going to be able to assemble a playoff caliber bullpen with "cash considerations".
  22. DJL44
    Thoughts from attending last evening's Saints doubleheader. Gonzalez is doing a great job of getting the barrel on the ball. It is coming off his bat loud. Wallner continues doing Wallner things. He had a couple singles. I caught the ball he threw into the crowd between innings, so I can now say I have played catch with Matt Wallner. The kid I gave the ball to seemed more confused than grateful. Rojas was really bad. Klein was either strikeouts or long home runs. The run scoring wasn't due to terrible defense, the pitching was not good. Harry Genth is in WAY over his head playing in AAA, but nearly everything is over his head. He has to be shorter than his listed 5'8". Kusiak and Morrissette are pretty mediocre. I suspect they'll all be gone soon. Roden doesn't have his timing yet, but he's swinging at the right pitches.
  23. DJL44
    I attended last night's Saints doubleheader so I got to see him play CF. He's not going to play CF in the majors but could handle a corner. He's better in the infield. He's not a big guy, listed at 6'0" but that might be in cleats. Arm seems pretty average but speed is a plus.
  24. DJL44
    Be patient. He looked terrible last night pitching for the Saints
  25. DJL44
    The crappy bullpen guarantees they won’t succeed in the playoffs. They’re a seller at the deadline.
