    Just throwing this against the proverbial Spaghetti Wall... What about Matt Wallner as DH next year. Eliminates his D liabilities, which could be worked on per my other post, for the near term. He just hit his 22BHR, a St Paul season Team Record. I know he stunk this year, but he hadn't stunk so much offensively in the past years.

    THIS! In terms of player development, getting a player to average defense should be within the realm of the coaching staff. It will take reps and mindset. Hitting, IMO, would be more difficult to bring to a MLB average level. Bring back the Twins Way when it comes to defense. Tom Kelly wasn't wrong

    Twins do NOT have the luxury of playing these kind of games. Either they believe, not you or I, they can make the playoffs or they don't. If they Do, then they have to put the best players on the rosters to do just that. As a small market team, normally your counter-point would be valid, but they Twins ownership has blown the Fans' Ship out of the water. Don't gamble on next year and a ROY + draft pick... Pull a Two Minute Tommy, and try to win it.

    Joe Ryan PUT the Twin is in a bind???? I am sure he spent hours trying to find a way to do that. Uggg...one of the reasons I read less and less of the Twins Daily. Sensationalism.

    Poll asks: "Which team do you dislike the most in the AL Central?" The Yankees. 😄

    Well, if Judge suddenly is listed at Altuve's height, we know the Fix is In. 😆😆😆

    I think the pipeline was transformed. It won't do any good if they regress to Old Ways. Now about the hitter pipeline. And for the Love of the Hamm's Bear, teach, preach and demand defensive. You may be limited talent-wise, (the 80s, 90s and 00s certainly were), but defensively they weren't making fundamental mistakes. Piranhas 2.0 need to become a thing.

    " .199/.267/.276 (.543) with 26 doubles, two triples, and five home runs. " Cleveland, Detroit, KC and Chicago just gave the Twins the Central Crown. NOTE: do you know there is a Snark Mark like a question mark but for snarky statements? I NEED one. Consider several Snark Marks inserted. He is BELOW the Mendoza Line for a Career. Oh yeah, I get it now. The Twins have a history of developing hitters at the MLB level like Julien, and Lewis in the past 2 years and before that Sano. They are sucking all the Optimism out of my soul

    Underrated? I don't know what that means. Underrated by whom? I think recently the Twins have done a good job of developing pitchers. I think the farm system does not impinge hitters, make them worse. The farm system does NOT do enough on fielding and defense. The job with pitchers means I am OK with the pitching acquisitions But it will be improved hitting and improved defense that will take this team anywhere in 2026. Regime change in managing helps provide a sliver of optimism. But whatever happened to the Twins Way, the Piranhas and team that focused on defense, base running and other things that can be taught and does not solely rely on Talent.

    high 80s, 88-89 coming out of college.

    And the Twins have been OH SOOOOO GOOD at fixing hitters... But are these hitters the Top Bargains? Perhaps with airline miles, or bonus check for your local Subway card.

    Quibble all you want, going 7-3, (70%), because you came to bat (mainly) in big situations meant you delivered. Buxton went 4-1, (80%) Luke (the Force) (100%) Not bad
