    I didn’t think I would get a thumbs down for taking advantage of nice weather and walking my dog. People are weird.
  2. DJL44
    Go home is the right choice
  3. DJL44
    Looks like Rojas will go on the IL. Never worry about having all your best pitchers healthy at the same time. It never happens.
  4. DJL44
    You would rather he kept the lousy pitchers on the roster and kept pitching them?
  5. DJL44
    Any impressions of Anderson? The weather was nice so I took the dog for a long walk.
  6. DJL44
    And that would be exactly the same outlook if they still had Louie Varland.
  7. DJL44
    What exactly do you expect Zoll to do? He can’t go back to January and sign good relievers.
  8. DJL44
    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.
  9. DJL44
    Scott Boras has legitimate Hall of Fame credentials.
  10. DJL44
    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.
  11. DJL44
    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?
  12. DJL44
    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.
  13. DJL44
    Do you think Cleveland was stealing pitch com signs?
  14. DJL44
    What you are describing is basically the mission statement of Baseball America as a publication. They report on baseball prospects.
  15. DJL44
    So call up Jenkins and have him ride the bench while Larnach, Buxton and Keaschall get the playing time?
  16. DJL44
    Jenkins undeniably has more upside potential than Roden. I think he needs to spend more time working to realize that upside in AAA.
  17. DJL44
    Then why would you have faith in someone performing worse than Roden in AAA?
  18. DJL44
    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.
  19. DJL44
    Prielipp needs to pitch to get better at pitching. If they shut him down they stunt his development for another season.
  20. DJL44
    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.
  21. DJL44
    Jenkins is doing a lot of things right, but only has 4HR in the launchpad of AAA. He still has things to work on.
  22. DJL44
    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.
  23. DJL44
    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.
  24. DJL44
    Do we even need to worry about a team trading for Joe Ryan? He looked terrible tonight.
  25. DJL44
    Isn’t Rojas already a power LH reliever?
