    Kody Clemens has a 624 OPS vs lefties. Austin Martin has a 780 OPS vs LHP. Keaschall can start at 2B and move to the OF when they pinch hit Clemens for Austin Martin.
  2. DJL44
    Sounds like the Yankees have several players recovering from food poisoning.
  3. DJL44
    Terry Ryan had his fair share of poor up the middle defenders. The 2010 team was actually Bill Smith in charge.
  4. DJL44
    Look at his whole career. It is a history of hot and cold streaks. He won’t maintain June forever. He is like Minnesota weather in April. Depending on the wind direction we are either 10 degrees above or below average but never the average temperature.
  5. DJL44
    Morris might be better than all of those guys.
  6. DJL44
    Pitching while fatigued inevitably leads to injury. He can’t do his job injured.
  7. DJL44
    Aaron Rozek has out pitched Funderburk in AAA. He’s worth a look. He could give them an ERA around 5 instead of around 7. Relief pitching is the most overpriced thing to buy at the trade deadline. The Twins are about 5 relievers away from a playoff bullpen. I expect them to grab an arm or two off waivers from a team that upgraded their bullpen by trade and that’s about it.
  8. DJL44
    Gray is from Texas and played college ball at Rice. He got three games at SS in front of his family and friends. He can sit in New York against the lefty starters. Get Kreidler back to SS.
  9. DJL44
    Funderburk or Adams would also work. They’re trying to stretch Rojas out as a starter. I expect him to be in the rotation after the trade deadline.
  10. DJL44
    Will Keaschall move back to 2B with Clemens to the bench? If Buxton is not back, they have to give him an IL stint and call someone up.
  11. DJL44
    Caratini needs the off day. He got beat up behind the plate. Get some ice and some sleep, Vic.
  12. DJL44
    You will have to wait until after the All Star game. Culpepper will be playing in the Futures Game.
  13. DJL44
    The season is half over and Bell has a 97 OPS+. Yankees have lost 7 in a row.
  14. DJL44
    Traded away because Gardy didn’t like his defense…
  15. DJL44
    Sounds like you are perfectly willing to pay for premium seating and the most convenient parking. I parked under the 394 ramp for $15. I got home in no time because the crowd was about 15,000 fans. You want premium games with premium seats and the most convenient parking to cost what it does to attend a town ball game. That is not reasonable. Do you go to Las Vegas and complain it costs more than bingo night at the American Legion? Twins games can be really inexpensive but you need to attend a game against a less popular team on a weeknight, accept a slightly worse view of the game, park a block or two further away, and walk a couple hundred feet to the cheaper concession stand.

    There is no guarantee Larnach and Bell will continue to hit, especially Bell. Bell will go cold for a month at random times.
  17. DJL44
    Probably because he also had an illness last season.
  18. DJL44
    Trade Larnach for some relief pitching
  19. DJL44
    The two are Rozek and Culpepper. Everyone else (except Rojas) is pitching worse than the position players who eat innings in blowouts.
  20. DJL44
    I am guessing they go 12-13 over those games for a 52-58 record at the deadline. If pitchers can’t throw strikes and get outs in the minors, they won’t do it in the majors. They don’t need to promote pitchers to figure that out. There are two relievers performing well in AAA. LHP Aaron Rozek is pitching effectively. I would like to see him debut, if only because he is from Burnsville and attended MN State Mankato. If he only lasts a week at least he will be able to say he was a Twin. His family should provide a temporary attendance boost. Don’t promote him while the team is on the road. CJ Culpepper is doing okay, though his walk rate is too high. He could probably use more time in AAA.
  21. DJL44
    Ryan, Lopez, Bradley, Prielipp, Matthews, Rojas, Abel. Possibly Lagrange from the Yankees. I think they can trade Ober at the deadline, especially if it is for Double-A pitching.
  22. DJL44
    He has turned into the high floor, low ceiling third baseman the scouts predicted at the draft. Score one for scouts.
  23. DJL44
    I don’t know why he was kept on the roster this offseason. He was bad last season and has continued to be bad this season. Adding him to the roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft looks like a bad decision in hindsight.
  24. DJL44
    Abel is scheduling surgery on his elbow.
  25. DJL44
    With Banda out and Funderburk struggling I wonder if we will see Aaron Rozek in a Twins uniform.
