    Is he going to grow out of the position as he bulks up?
  2. DJL44
    I agree that Greinke is a much bigger oversight.
  3. DJL44
    And I won't, which means you really don't care much about convincing me of anything.

    Culpepper is going to get a lot of attention, mainly because he is the only infielder in the system who looks like he could be an average glove at SS. He might fall short, but nobody else even looks close.
  5. DJL44
    You haven't proven that point. 5 runs below average is a long way from "not viable".

    American democracy has been getting things wrong for 250 years. It didn't start recently. Democracy is messy. An idea doesn't have to be good, it just needs 51% support.

    Especially when the other options will be even worse.
  8. DJL44
    Who is going to pitch in blowouts now?
  9. DJL44
    I am assuming this move doesn't happen until Culpepper is ready. Half the MLB teams have a "below average" SS on defense.
  10. DJL44
    Right now I think he needs to take one for the team and work on it in the big leagues. They don't have anyone better to use.

    Fun fact - Kody Clemens doesn't even hit arbitration until 2027. If they sell all the expiring contracts they're going to need Clemens just to play out the remaining games.
  12. DJL44
    Gabriel Gonzalez just keeps on hitting.

    Only because they put all their eggs in the Mahle basket and the eggs broke. This season Mahle is the best player in that whole list of players.

    It is quite rare for players to sign an extension this close to free agency.
  15. DJL44
    Ohl might be an option in the bullpen.
  16. DJL44
    This is the front office that got Duran for Escobar and Ryan for Cruz. They've done a fair job selling at the deadline. I'd much rather they sold the expiring contracts than just letting them expire while they finish with 78 wins.

    He's going to test the free agent market. That's a 100% stone cold lock at this point. What is the harm of trading him to a contender, getting him some playoff experience and bringing him back to the team if they really want him back?
  18. DJL44
    The Reds got a utility player who projects to 0.5 WAR in 2025 and one of the worst 1B in MLB.
  19. DJL44
    I would rather have Duran in the bullpen on that 2027 team.

    I don't see any incentive for the Twins to sell players with multiple years of team control remaining. They're not having a good season, but they have the talent to make the playoffs as a wild-card team next season. I will make an exception to that for Justin Topa and Brock Stewart. Both relievers are on the wrong side of 30 with a long history of injuries. I would try to sell both of those pitchers at the deadline. They're paid almost nothing, currently effective and healthy. They each have quite a bit of team control remaining but I'm pessimistic they will be able to pitch effectively for those remaining seasons. I would sell on Paddack, Castro, France, Bader, Coulombe, Vazquez, Stewart and Topa. That's a lot of roster turnover but it leaves the best part of the pitching staff intact.
  21. DJL44
    Yeah, I don't want them to sell a top starting pitcher and get mostly nothing in return like the Reds did in 2022.

    Julien played 2B tonight, poorly.
  23. DJL44
    There are a couple guys on waivers who have been better than Wentz.

    My wife and I attended the Saints doubleheader tonight. Raya has nasty stuff but it is good Louisville was chasing because he is still inconsistent with command. Ohl looked okay as well. Sabato looks very happy to be in AAA and Miranda looks very unhappy to be in AAA - the attitude is obvious. Miranda is playing like he's hoping to be released so he can find a different organization to play for. Sabato doesn't have a ton of range at 1B but he can catch a thrown ball. Eeles is fun as hell to watch in person, hustle, aggressive baserunning, charging plays on defense. Julien - OTOH is as passive as ever at the plate and in the field. He laid back on an easy grounder and booted it, then was slow on the turn and didn't get the lead runner on the following play, instead choosing to go to first base. Eeles put the ball in play and made things happen; Julien walked. Royce still looks like he's not right. He wants to make explosive, athletic moves but is hesitant and throttles back. Austin Martin did not play, despite the doubleheader. Americans have got to be the best in the world at eating. I was impressed. People were stuffing their faces the entire game, and then ran to the outfield to get more food from food trucks between the game and post-game fireworks.

    Ty France's fielding has been a positive surprise
