    It could very well be all of them. Jeffers would be nice to keep even if it is on a the QO. Ober - unless they KNOW why his velocity has dropped AND are extremely confident they can fix it, he will be gone. Lewis will not be gone over the winter. Wallner is streaky, but you can't be 60/40 streaky when the 60 is the BAD. Again, not sure how the coaches haven't fixed this. At times he looks and hits like he is in the Zone and then other times it looks like he isn't in the same galaxy as the Zone. 60/40 might be generous. I thought he might be a good DH but that thought has left the building. It is possible BuxTrain moves to one of the corners or is DH. There is a lot of potential so it really is on the FO and coaching staff to maximize the team. But also, this often the Debbie Downer of fanbases. (Thanks Pohlad family)

    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.
  24. EGFTShaw
    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.

    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.
