    Anyone else think Royce Lewis might be a better baseball player than Orlando Arcia?
  2. DJL44
    It would be so much worse if the Twins were within a game of winning the World Series, right?
  3. DJL44
    Cole Sands should be back soon.
  4. DJL44
    I wanted Isaiah Kiner-Falefa instead
  5. DJL44
    I don’t think I have ever paid $70 for a Twins ticket.
  6. DJL44
    They haven’t called up Culpepper because the platoon of Gray and Kreidler has been productive. I don’t expect it to last, but they combined for average SS production in May.

    His batting average has stabilized right at his xBA. Martin doesn’t chase, he squares up pitches, doesn’t strike out often. He has enough speed to steal a base. He also has low exit velocity and little power. His outfield defense has finally matched up with his athletic ability. He is an excellent 4th outfielder who has been pushed into a starting role due to injury and ineffectiveness of the other outfielders on the roster.
  8. DJL44
    “Martin is hitting just .243 against righties this year” .243 is above league average
  9. DJL44
    This article said the problem was he wasn’t doing damage on fastballs. If he’s fixed that, he’s playable in a major league lineup.

    Lewis needs to come up and play 1B. Even without any reps I think he would do better than Josh Bell. I also want to get rid of the bad 5th outfielder “role”.
  11. DJL44
    Derek Shelton has squeezed more performance out of this bullpen than anyone would have expected.
  12. DJL44
    I remember when they traded Johan Santana because they couldn’t afford an extension. In hindsight they should have kept him until free agency and grabbed the compensation picks.
  13. DJL44
    I can see an argument to keep him one more season and go for it in a shortened 2027 with Pablo Lopez returning. This team isn’t good enough, but it’s not that far off. Trade Jeffers, Larnach and Ober but keep Ryan and spend a little money to see if you can take this incredibly weak division in 2027.
  14. DJL44
    I don’t want his expensive decline years.
  15. DJL44
    I’m not sure if Mendez will have a better career than Roden. There is a big gap in their value on defense.
  16. DJL44
    Bradley, Abel, Rojas, Tait are all more valuable than Mendez.
  17. DJL44
    He is currently one of the top 5 catchers in baseball. I expect a bidding war for him at the deadline. Every contender could use him.
  18. DJL44
    I would trade Jeffers to the Pirates but I want more than a good reliever / 5th starter in return for an All-Star caliber catcher.
  19. DJL44
    Ober for Mlodzinski - is that enough? Jeffers would be a great addition to the Pirates if they want to swing a big deal.
  20. DJL44
    Gallagher could get Bailey Ober’s spot in the rotation. There aren’t many other options.
  21. DJL44
    Royce Lewis .324/.405/.818 in AAA in May. He makes Sabato (.257/.366/.371) look like a chump over the same stretch of games with the same opponents. Plus, Lewis is on the roster and is a MUCH better fielder. Head-to-head there is no comparison. If you want to promote anyone based on AAA results in May, it is clearly Royce Lewis.
  22. DJL44
    I would be surprised if we see any extensions with this many unknowns in the CBA.
  23. DJL44
    What I like about this is they decided to use the good arms they had in AAA to fill the gaps in the bullpen rather than just letting them waste their innings in St. Paul. They made the best roster with what they had. Is it a new bullpen strategy that leads to wins? Not as much as having 8 strong 1-inning relievers.
  24. DJL44
    I am actually rooting for a fade from .500 sooner so they take initiative to remake this roster. Standing pat because they're just below .500 and in wild-card contention would be the absolute worst outcome.
  25. DJL44
    Even if they keep Jeffers for the rest of this season, it doesn't matter for next year. He's a free agent. Spending in 2025 won't carry over to 2026.
