    The Saints are in Las Vegas this week so there could be a lot of different reasons for that.
  2. DJL44
    I think that was Tom Kelly’s advice to David Ortiz.
  3. DJL44
    Good idea for the minor leagues to get more innings out of your best pitching prospects. Minor league relief-only pitchers are generally roster filler with no future. It works because winning and losing is secondary to developing talent. That is not true in the major leagues.
  4. DJL44
    Scored a run, drove in a run, made his plays on defense. Nothing to get upset about.

    Olivar is 5’10” (probably measured in cleats) and has never played a game at 1B. This is his 3rd season in Wichita.
  6. DJL44
    Me too, but that’s probably his upside. The kind of guy who’s useful for the three option seasons, then gets passed around the league on waivers.
  7. DJL44
    He could be the next Danny Valencia
  8. DJL44
    I don’t think Ober and Ryan will be pitching innings for the Twins in August. Someone will need to.
  9. DJL44
    Good news
  10. DJL44
    Kody Clemens has an OPS+ of 80. His career OPS+ is 81.
  11. DJL44
    Dominance by the Twins bullpen and clutch hitting by Wallner, just like you would expect.
  12. DJL44
    So they should max out their outfield defense.
  13. DJL44
    I expect Outman would be just as useless as a pinch hitter. 76 OPS+ sucks but it beats the hell out of a 40 OPS+.
  14. DJL44
    Festa is looking more and more like someone with a chronic injury that has put his career in jeopardy.
  15. DJL44
    The Twins are 29th in groundball percentage among all MLB pitching staffs. They're an extreme flyball staff.
  16. DJL44
    Either would be more helpful than Outman. The player I really wanted was Roden but he's on the IL.
  17. DJL44
    It doesn’t really affect them at all. Bad defense certainly affects the pitching staff.
  18. DJL44
    Can anyone name a team that developed enough pitching to fill the rotation AND the bullpen with homegrown pre-arbitration players. It’s a nearly impossible task.
  19. DJL44
    I would suggest platooning Lewis with Gray except Lewis has been terrible against LHP. He has a 720 OPS vs RHP and 420 vs LHP.
  20. DJL44
    Honorable Mention to Tristan Gray
  21. DJL44
    I wish Outman was as good as Margot or Gallo
  22. DJL44
    Almost every contender will be calling about Ryan Jeffers at the deadline. Teams carry two catchers and it is very easy to add Jeffers to the roster. The Twins would be foolish to keep him, even if they want to bring him back as a free agent.
  23. DJL44
    I think they aren’t a contender, which is where this gets tricky. I see no benefit to giving Outman playing time. I think Wallner needs to play less often. I think Rodriguez needs to come up, if only to fail and go back to AAA to work on his game. I think they need to move a DH off the roster and add a first baseman. I think Culpepper is challenged in AAA (725 OPS) so it is best to keep him there..
  24. DJL44
    Buxton is destroying starting pitchers the third time he sees them. Move him to cleanup and he might not see the starter a 3rd time.
  25. DJL44
    They're on pace for 22-28 by game 50. 10 games under is a little pessimistic.
