Guardians 5, Twins 2: Another Lackluster Performance
DJL44 replied to Cory Moen's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I didn’t think I would get a thumbs down for taking advantage of nice weather and walking my dog. People are weird.- 58 replies

Looks like Rojas will go on the IL. Never worry about having all your best pitchers healthy at the same time. It never happens.- 58 replies

And that would be exactly the same outlook if they still had Louie Varland.

Yes, because prospects are ranked on upside potential, not on current production. Besides, Roden exhausted prospect eligibility with the Blue Jays. Luke Keaschall doesn’t get ranked on prospect lists anymore either.

Burn an option on Jenkins. Would you call Jenkins up, give him just 21 at-bats to prove himself and demote him if he has fewer than 5 hits? I hope not.

Alan Roden has had 21 at-bats. The difference between .190 and .238 is one hit when the denominator is that small. If the wind had been blowing out in Wrigley Field on his fly ball to RF he would have a slash of .238/.360/.381 Are you going to demote Jenkins and burn an option if he hits .190 in his first 21 at bats?

Not quite correct. If the Twins call Jenkins up in May next year and he wins ROY he gets a full year of service time for 2027. They round up to one full season.

Do you think Cleveland was stealing pitch com signs?

What you are describing is basically the mission statement of Baseball America as a publication. They report on baseball prospects.

So call up Jenkins and have him ride the bench while Larnach, Buxton and Keaschall get the playing time?

Jenkins undeniably has more upside potential than Roden. I think he needs to spend more time working to realize that upside in AAA.

Then why would you have faith in someone performing worse than Roden in AAA?

Jenkins has 4 HR at AAA. His OPS at that level is lower than Fedko, Sabato, Roden, Wallner and Ryan Kreidler. He is doing a lot of things well, but one good week doesn’t make him ready for the majors.

Prielipp needs to pitch to get better at pitching. If they shut him down they stunt his development for another season.

Roden was playing better than Jenkins in AAA so I would say the answer is no, he’s not the best option at the moment. The Twins need to manage assets like Culpepper and Jenkins strategically. You don’t call them up to play part time like Martin and Roden. Personally, I would prefer they sign Jenkins to a long term contract before he debuts.

Jenkins is doing a lot of things right, but only has 4HR in the launchpad of AAA. He still has things to work on.

It would be nice if Emmanuel Rodriguez was healthy and ready to debut. Those three would mainly sit on the bench. Buxton, Keaschall, Martin and Roden would play outfield with Wallner and Fedko as a platoon DH. If you don’t want Fedko back, they could give Sabato or Gonzalez a try.

Trade Jeffers, Larnach and Bell (if anyone wants him). Keep the rest and try again next season. Replace with Wallner, Fedko and Gray (for August). Promote Rodriguez ASAP, Jenkins and Culpepper in mid September.
