    Balazovic is going to get beat up in his first go around at the MLB level. He's not ready to help a playoff team win games.
  2. DJL44
    Lee isn't ready yet and Lewis is a better infielder than Julien or Miranda. They're not going to move the plus fielder to the outfield to put the minus fielder in the infield. That makes no sense.
  3. DJL44
    Any update on Maeda? He's been out 3 weeks with a triceps injury.
  4. DJL44
    To replace him they need a better option. Giving the job to Balazovic based on 18 innings where he's walked 11 batters is laughable. DeLeon isn't the answer either. Cole Sands has not impressed. Alcala has struggled. Winder is awful at the moment. The cupboard is bare. They didn't address the bullpen when it only cost money during the offseason so they're going to have to pay for relief help with prospects if they want an improvement.

    The bad calls mostly even out over time. A robot strike zone won't actually affect more than a game or two in the standings. That matters, especially for a playoff series, but the Twins aren't going to see any net benefit.

    I think I'd have Ariel Castro ahead of Helman. In fact I'd trade Helman for any of the top 3 international free agents the Twins signed last summer.
  7. DJL44
    Hard pass then.
  8. DJL44
    Royce Lewis is playing like he deserves a position somewhere. No rust at all with a .455/.539/.818 slash line (plus 3 stolen bases) so far. Farmer is hitting WELL above his established past performance.
  9. DJL44
    The Twins tried something different this year putting the young prospects at Cedar Rapids and the older org guys in Fort Myers. I think that might have been a mistake. Some of the players at Cedar Rapids are failing at that level (Salas, Urbina, Cavaco) while some of those at Fort Myers are not being challenged (Cossetti, Shuffield). Making each team a mix of older and younger players for the rest of the season would be a better idea.

    Gus was a Rule 5 pick so if he passes through waivers he goes back to his original team.
  11. DJL44
    I'm not sure I would bring up Miranda to sit him on the bench like Solano.
  12. DJL44
    Also, Kyle Farmer, who is playing better than Urshela.
  13. DJL44
    Probably deserves a promotion to AAA but both Miranda and Lewis are there at the moment.
  14. DJL44
    It's basically league average. MLB is batting .247 for the season.
  15. DJL44
    If you need a challenge system it would be for a human umpire to overturn the electronic system, not the other way around. For instance, an electronic strike zone set at the front of the plate does not know if the pitch bounced before it crosses the plate.
  16. DJL44
    He should be an All-Star Game selection this year.
  17. DJL44
    He's great trade bait at the deadline.
  18. DJL44
    I would not call up Lee unless he forces the issue and he hasn't so far. I'd rather keep him off the 40 man roster this winter.
  19. DJL44
    Dalton Shuffield is way too old for Fort Myers. He should probably be in Wichita. The young prospects got moved up to Cedar Rapids to challenge them and the Fort Myers roster was filled with 22-25 year old "org guys".
  20. DJL44
    I got to see why Nick Gordon isn't getting any walks. Pitchers challenge him in the zone knowing he'll get himself out or at worst slap a single. No respect because he has no power. I had flashbacks of Tsuyoshi Nishioka.
  21. DJL44
    Yes, death by pitch sequencing. The Cubs knew exactly when the slider was coming based on the count and the location. They were sitting on it and hit singles twice. Jax is too predictable, they need a new game plan.
  22. DJL44
    I think I'm going to go into every non-Apple TV game thread and whine multiple times about how much it costs to subscribe to cable even though I don't subscribe to cable.
  23. DJL44
    I haven't watched a bad TV show on Apple TV (granted, I haven't watched them all). "CODA" is a great movie, so is the Tom Hanks feature "Finch".
  24. DJL44
    One of the few games this year that I'll get to watch on TV. Yay!
  25. DJL44
    Find a friend with Apple TV. I have it, bring chips if you want to come over.
