    It was well deserved but I wish they could have waited until Sunday. I have tickets for Friday and Saturday.

    I would have loved to see these "trades" to see if they were insane as his roster decisions.

    I may be wrong but with September isn't it basically a taxi squad where they can have Jenkins on Monday and then Rodriguez on Tuesday and back to Jenkins? So technically they can cycle through the guys without having to wait.

    Jeffers should have been traded at the deadline. Offering him a QO depending on how he finishes the season is reckless. If he accepts the QO they would have to trade Caratini and probably eat a good portion of the 10m remaining. Keeping both in 2027 would be like 34m. That's way too big of a percentage of team salaries even if they jumped to 150m.

    Whatever bro, some players just need a change of scenery to turn it around. Clemens and Gomez were both waiver claims. I know the odds are extremely low to find a starting player on waivers but it doesn't hurt to try.

    This was a great signing for the Twins. You can never have enough pitching. They should keep monitoring the daily transactions and they could find another player that gets DFA that could help.

    He just doesn't look comfortable there. There's also been issues with him trying to turn double plays. Like I said before, I would rather see him at first and let him be comfortable there so his hitting doesn't suffer. I think it helps him at the plate.

    With Kaelen Culpepper being promoted to the majors how long before they reward Marek Houston for his great year and promote him to St Paul.

    On the bright side this opens a spot on the 40 man roster for Walker Jenkins. I really liked Fedko and just thought he put too much pressure on himself and couldn't get that first MLB hit.

    Royce Lewis needs to never play second base again unless it's an emergency. I feel him being mostly at first has helped him as a hitter. Less to worry about and knowing his role has eased the pressure on him for sure.

    So what would .270 in the minors equal to in the majors? .200 or so. I would like to see them hitting at least .300 and playing every day.
  32. darin617
    So you would put him out there and let him struggle? Jenkins is hitting like .275 or so in the minors. That's not exactly crushing it. I would rather wait until he is ripping up AAA pitchers. You bring him up now and he struggles how does that help his development.
  33. darin617
    Jenkins also struggles against lefties so he will still be platooning.
  34. darin617
    I agree 100% with you. Emmanuel Rodriguez is already on the 40 man roster and will be out of options after this season. So they have nothing to lose getting a look at him. I'm not sure if most people understand Jenkins and Culpepper are both hanging around .270. That's not exactly very impressive against minor league pitching. Give them some more time.
  35. darin617
    Culpepper needs to stay healthy and put in a couple of good weeks and play the field to earn the promotion. The same could also be said for Jenkins. As for Wallner, what would his role be? He still struggles against lefties and isn't solid defender.
