  1. True. Buxton has a career 1 for 7 line in the postseason with 4K and 0BB. His playoff record is a mix of unavailable and unproductive.
  2. What a brilliant suggestion. Practices. I don’t know why nobody thought of that before. What do you think the team does every day before the game begins. Do you think they’re sitting in the clubhouse playing PlayStation?
  3. There are a lot of intangibles that led to Hrbek getting his number retired. Buxton doesn’t have any of those intangibles. I have seen Hrbek’s name on lists of the ten worst players with an MLB retired number.
  4. The face of a team that won one playoff series.
  5. Six teams chasing the last spot gives them one in six odds. They need Joe Ryan to pitch like he can at his best and Buxton to hit like he can at his best. If the stars play like scrubs they’re doomed.
  6. “Top 50 prospects” almost never matter.
  7. “There's little value in carrying a full-time DH who is merely a good (as opposed to very good, or great) hitter” This is why Bell needs to go.
  8. Keaschall has the same athletic tools as Austin Martin. He should be able to become an adequate left fielder. The Twins need to find a new team for Larnach and let Bell leave as a free agent. That will give them enough room to play their many outfield prospects next season.
  9. The clock struck midnight and Dean Kremer turned back into Dean Kremer. It was fun to watch while it lasted. Emmanuel Rodriguez might actually be healthy at the right time for a change.
  10. They are 1.5 games back with 37 games remaining. Teams have closed larger gaps than that before.
  11. Nobody stops people from going off topic to grind their favorite ax, but they post different articles to spark different conversations. Some people forget that and spam every article with the same posts.
  12. He’s a Tristan Gray level player, maybe a little better. Good to have for minor league depth when he can he optioned.
  13. I think minor league stats do matter. An 800 OPS in the International League is not special. It means you’re a slightly above average AAA hitter. The best AAA players are the ones who deserve a promotion, not the slightly above average players.
  14. It’s likely that Jenkins is currently no better than the players they are already using in the outfield. That’s not a slight on Jenkins. Buxton is an All-Star, the Larnach/Martin platoon has been producing and Keaschall has been doing well in the lineup.
  15. This article looks like it was posted two months early
  16. That still leaves Kreidler as the backup. It would be okay to have three talented up the middle infielders on the roster. That’s not against the rules.
  17. The trade deadline is over and there are no saviors in AAA. Most teams have players with below average bats and above average gloves sitting on the bench. Caratini and Roden didn’t even play today so I’m not sure how this loss is their fault.
