  1. Kepler hasn't hit since 2019... He should go but won't. I have no great need to keep Gordon, and I've been one of his biggest supporters. Farmer and likely Lewis do what he does, better. I'd prefer AK at first, Gallo in right or left, and Larnach in the other corner. I'd be looking to deal Kepler and one of Maeda or Mahle to someone like the Mets..... At some point you need to take the chance on Ober and Varland and AK and Larnach. We know what Kepler is....
  2. I'd call up AK and deal Kepler for anything. Yup, risky. But I'm taking that risk. They'll wait on AK until someone is hurt.
  3. When they traded for Mahle, I wanted him to pitch two innings in relief every few days. I think Ober should be a starter, and Mahle or Maeda RP ..... But don't expect that. If someone wants to give up a great prospect for either, I'm in.
  4. Not one person blindly buys into every move. Not one.
  5. SWR is in the top ten of AAA stuff as measured by statcast. He's 22. In AAA. Anyone should feel good about his future.
  6. Really, really, need CC and Buxton to start hitting. I mean, they CAN win w/o it, but not enough for my tastes.
  7. Fairly confident Julien will hit long term. Glad he got a taste
  8. Surprised about SWR and Alcala.....
  9. I think the are fans, but I'm not sure that's enough.
  10. Stats.... And truth
  11. I live in Portland, you can walk anywhere alone. The likely stadium site is in an area that has seen some good development, and a stadium would really accelerate that. That said, I don't think there are enough big companies here to fill all the suites. Outside Intel and the shoe companies, it's a lot of small companies. Also, this government isn't going to give a billion dollars to billionaires to fund a stadium. So, no way a team comes here, imo.
  12. They literally had a top 5 bullpen before today......according to stats comparing them with other teams. They have 2 weak links, maybe three if Alcala isn't good (but it's not like they weren't going to give him a shot). They have Headrick, Winder, Balazovich in MN or St. Paul.
  13. Taylor had to get a day off eventually, but I thought maybe Buxton would be in center when it happened.....
  14. He has Purdy... Is he really giving up on him, or adding assets? That said, I have no idea if I want him.
  15. That's a long list of the previous FO picks.......
  16. go get another catcher and give Jeffers a 1B glove......:) just to add to the crunch. Julien for Gallo Castro for Polanco Kepler (or Larnach) (I wish) for Kiriloff (assuming AK is hitting, and Kepler is what he has been for nearly 1000 ABs now) Garlick for Farmer Lewis for Gordon or Miranda (if Miranda isn't hitting, him for sure) Winder for whomever at the backend of the pen
  17. I mean, is there a hitter we like on the roster right now, other than the catchers? Clearly, most guys are safe, but this team needs a spark. I'm done with Kepler, but the Twins aren't. I don't see a big need for Castro at all at this point. Julien isn't ready, and will be down when they activate Polanco for sure. That's two easy decisions, and one hard one. Next in line is Solano or Gordon.....or both.
  18. If Buxton isn't dhing in a game, I'd like to see Jeffers DH. That's admittedly risky, but very unlikely to be an issue. This team really needs to start hitting at some point....
  19. I get most disagree with me! I got nothing to go on here but a feeling.
