    370 career MLB plate appearances and he’s hitting .184. He’s only been able to hit .238 in AAA. I’m guessing he’s a .200 hitter, true talent. .200/.260/.340
  2. DJL44
    Kreidler’s new role is to wait until the 8th inning or someone gets injured. He should never be in the starting lineup.
  3. DJL44
    Buxton is eligible to return in 3 days.
  4. DJL44
    I also would have no issue cutting Rashi or Go from the 40-man roster.
  5. DJL44
    Isn’t Kyler Fedko out for the season? Put him on the 60 day IL
  6. DJL44
    I want the Twins to negotiate a long term contract with Jenkins before they promote him.
  7. DJL44
    Love the move, hate the timing. Seems like a no-confidence vote that Culpepper could win ROY next season.
  8. DJL44
    What you want is to bench Josh Bell, play Larnach at DH and put Jenkins in the lineup. For that to pay off, Jenkins has to immediately hit better than Josh Bell. I think that is an unreasonable expectation for any rookie. I mostly don’t understand the impatience. What is the huge rush to get the rookies up this weekend instead of waiting a week or two? Why are people pushing the panic button on a team that can barely play .500 baseball? Why waste Jenkins’ incredibly valuable service time on a desperate attempt to turn an 80 win team into an 82 win team?

    Jackson has been contributing. He might be their best defensive catcher. He can pinch run, has some defensive utility beyond catcher (1B and corner OF). Over the last two seasons and 170 PA he has hit .255/.308/.446. I know prospects are sexy, but a veteran bench player who doesn’t need everyday reps is ideal for the 13th player. There are only 9 spots in the lineup.
  10. DJL44
    When Buxton returns in a few days, the starting outfield is Larnach, Buxton and Keaschall. No room to break in a rookie.
  11. DJL44
    I like Alex Jackson as the 13th player more than Outman or Keirsey Jr.
  12. DJL44
    Wallner and Mendez play bad defense. The Twins really don’t need their defense to get worse. Roden is 3 for 8 with a double, 3 walks and no strikeouts over the last 5 games. That’s exactly what they want from him.
  13. DJL44
    This team has a fondness for being 2 games under .500. They’re not a contending team in 2026. Buxton should be back in a few days.
  14. DJL44
    Great night for Jenkins. Turning his raw power into game power is really the last step in his development.
  15. DJL44
    Talking contract extension this offseason? Arbitration is not going to be kind to him with his overall stats.
  16. DJL44
    Nice to see Tristan Gray, Alan Roden and Alex Jackson play and spark the team to a win.
  17. DJL44
    Eight
  18. DJL44
    They probably should sign Jenkins to a long term contract before promoting him.
  19. DJL44
    5th starter or middle reliever upside.
  20. DJL44
    Kreidler’s bat is so bad that the only position he can justify starting in the lineup is at SS. If he isn’t the starter at SS, he needs to sit on the bench and wait to enter as a pinch runner and defensive replacement in the 8th inning. He should never be in the starting lineup as an outfielder with all the options the Twins have available.
  21. DJL44
    Yeah, stupid Roden and Gray losing this game tonight with their combined 0 for 0 performance.
  22. DJL44
    You want to cut Kody Clemens?
  23. DJL44
    You asked for an arbitrary number
  24. DJL44
    10 HR in AAA
  25. DJL44
    Roden had a 909 OPS in St Paul this season in 151 PA. Jenkins has an 831 OPS in 233 PA at the same level. I will bet Jenkins has the better career, but right now they’re basically the same player. Good control of the strike zone, good contact and not enough power. Jenkins has a little more speed but they’re not calling him up to sit on the bench and pinch run.
