    Why would a manager bat the league leader in grounding into double plays immediately after the teams on base percent leader?

    For 2024, who is the weakest fielding infielder among Lee, Lewis and Julien? It is Julien. The other 2 can play major league shortstop. Therefore leave Lewis and Lee flanking Correa in some manner and move Julien to LF. It shouldn't be too difficult for Julien to manage playing LF. The Twins would have 3 shortstops playing 3B, SS and 2B. I like that infield with Kirilloff at 1B. Now about CF? I'm perfectly happy with MAT manning CF and Willi Castro at utility and designated runner and Solano at pinch hitter and utility. Farmer can back up at SS, 2b and 3B. Wallner in RF. Jeffers and Vasquez at catcher.

    All comments make very good points. Thank you.

    I live in the southeast (North Carolina) and I am thrilled that Joe Mauer played his whole career for my favorite tea, the Minnesota Twins. Joe Mauer was always an outstanding player and the epitome of a class act. It's too bad he is not running for president of the United States.

    Where do you think Julian will be?
  6. tarheeltwinsfan
    Career against left handed pitchers BA - .262; OPB - .328; SLG - .449; OPS - .777. This year has been worse as expected. He can play 1B, OF and DH. Mancini's fielding is not as good as Gallo's but he would be an extremely low cost, RH hitter. Mancini, a survivor of colon cancer, was one of the first to reach out to Liam Hendricks, when Hendricks was diagnosed with cancer. A classy move.

    Last night's game spoke volumes about Polonco playing 3B. He was moved to 2B because he didn't have the arm nor the legs to play SS, Why should Rocco or the FO expect him to be able to throw accurately and with power from 3B? He was not charged with committing any errors last night, but he committed 2. Put Lewis at 3B. Leave Julian at 2B. Thank Polo for his good play in the past and trade him. The Twins have better, more useful defenders at each IF position, and at utility also. He could be useful at DH however, there is the problem of Buck needing to play DH.

    I may be the only one, but I am content with the Twins not making any trades before the deadline, other than Lopez. I still think this is a good team, waiting for the spark Royce Lewis will surely bring soon.
  9. tarheeltwinsfan
    I suggest the Twins keep calm and carry on. The vast majority of the bargains go to the Sellers. Any bargains close to the trade deadline are the young prospects which the contending teams (Buyers) give up in order to increase by a very small percentage the contending teams' odds of winning it all over the next 2 and a half months, at the expense of the Buyers' future.

    Yes to the question about another players only meeting. It helped before, it may help again. I suggest the players each be given a copy of this article and these interesting stats at this second players only meeting.

    Good luck to my fellow North Carolinian. In fact, I'm looking out the window at the Atlantic Ocean as I am thinking what to type next in this comment. My family and I are spending my two weeks in Jenkins' home county at Oak Island, NC. It is a beautiful oceanfront community that my family and I visit annually for vacation.

    The Twins' 2023 season reminds me of several quotes from "Gone With The Wind". Scarlett says to Rhett: "Where shall I: go?" As he walks out, Rhett says: "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn." And finally, the last line delivered by Scarlett: "After all, tomorrow is another day,"

    Good timely article Cody.

    On King, on you huskies.

    Dobnek was "cromulent". To save the rest of you from having to look up what that means, I will tell you that it means "average". Thanks Matt. You never cease to amaze me with your excellent writing.
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good and timely article about a valuable Twins' player. I wonder if there is any way to measure a catcher's pitch calling skills?
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    Entertaining, well written article about a frustrating loss. Thanks Matt.
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    Why do we need another great young catcher? Jeffers is doing fine.
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    I agree that the Twins need 1 more quality reliever this year. I saw where Robertson was just traded. He would have helped the Twins.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    Best wishes to Jorge Lopez and his family. I hope he is successful in his career and I wish him nothing but the very best in everything. I am always proud of someone who, when he falls down, gets back up and seeks help.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Kirby was really good against the Twins during his last outing. If I were a Twins batter, I couldn't wait to get even with Kirby tonight.
