    He’s one of their best defenders. They can handle a 650 OPS to get his glove on the field.
  2. DJL44
    Do you think they can time things so the 80 games Buxton misses won’t overlap with the 80 games Jenkins misses?
  3. DJL44
    They can share the spot next season with Jenkins getting the games Buxton inevitably misses (and vice versa - Jenkins gets injured a lot as well). It is perfectly okay to have two good fielders in the outfield at the same time. Some teams have three of them.
  4. DJL44
    He’s doing fine so far
  5. DJL44
    The Alex Jackson win streak continues. Unfortunately for Jackson, the team absolutely can’t put him in a game until the streak ends.
  6. DJL44
    They will limit innings for Lopez and Abel coming off surgery. Someone else will get injured. They need 8-9 starters to get through the season.
  7. DJL44
    And yet, he’s much better than Mendez
  8. DJL44
    But they’re trying to win now and his OPS is 100 points higher than Mendez.
  9. DJL44
    The option rules still apply.
  10. DJL44
    Mendez has played 59 games in AAA. It won’t hurt him to play another 30 at that level. The Twins have a ton of options on the roster for LF, more than they can legitimately use in a single season. They also have Kalai Rosario, Ricardo Olivar, Caden Kendle and Khadim Diaw off the roster. They need to sell some of this depth to add infielders.
  11. DJL44
    Now do Wallner
  12. DJL44
    If they trade Joe Ryan they’ll keep Bailey Ober.
  13. DJL44
    Minor league free agent from Venezuela
  14. DJL44
    Cut Jackson, lose three in a row. Bring back Jackson and they’re back in the win column.
  15. DJL44
    80 wins might be enough for the last wild card spot
  16. DJL44
    Caden Kendle is batting .400 in Wichita…..
  17. DJL44
    So Kreidler in LF. Yuck.
  18. DJL44
    Aaron Sabato would have been interesting. Better than Victor Caratini at 1B vs LHP.
  19. DJL44
    Yes, this means they think Austin Jackson is a better RH platoon bat than Gonzalez. They’re probably right about that, Gonzalez is not hitting in AAA. Caratini shouldn’t be playing 1B vs LHP. Kreidler shouldn’t be playing in the outfield at all. I would probably start Kreidler at 2B, bat him 9th and pinch hit Clemens for him as soon as possible. That means starting Jackson in LF vs LHP and replacing him with Larnach ASAP.
  20. DJL44
    Fedko is out for the season with a knee injury
  21. DJL44
    Three - Wallner, Gonzalez and Rodriguez Edit: Sorry, Four with Mendez
  22. DJL44
    But all of that only applies to Jenkins. They can call up Emmanuel Rodriguez without worrying about any of that. Beats the hell out of playing Ryan Kreidler in the outfield.
  23. DJL44
    So, what is the lineup vs LHP? OF - Clemens, Buxton, Keaschall IF - Lee, Culpepper, Lewis, Caratini C - Jeffers; DH - Bell Do they swap in Kreidler in LF, playing him in a bat-first position just because he stands in the batters box on the left side of home plate? When do Roden and Jackson get any playing time?
  24. DJL44
    Is Jackson going to actually play in the outfield? He seems like 10th on the depth chart for outfielders. Is Roden or Larnach going to get the playing time vs LHP? What a weird move.
  25. DJL44
    I expect they will try Wallner at DH to start 2027. He’s out of options and this franchise hates giving players away.
