    Jackson was put on waivers three times last year and no one claimed him. I think it is more of a case of his being overvalued in TD land. I wouldn't mind if he was the third catcher, available in case of injury but I am not sure he should be counted on for more than that.

    Opening day outfield and DH is a mix of ERod, Jenkins, Buxton and Keaschall. I didn't say Roden had to be in AAA, but the choices are either backup OF or AAA. I am not starting him over two of the top prospects in the organization or Buxton or Keaschall You haven't said why you think he should get regular playing time, is this based on a small sample size of 50 good plate appearances. He has always put up good numbers in AAA, it has to translate to the majors and hasn't yet.

    He had a good August and in July he was below league average. And in 2025, he couldn't hit in the major leagues either. I am not clearing a spot for him based on one month of good production in the major leagues when he is no longer a top prospect.

    The Twins have been going all in on analytics since Falvey arrived in 2017. They are now trying to field staff that buys in more it appears. Last year that was one of the things they said about the new hitting coach is he could translate the data better to hitters. This is just another step in the overuse of analytics, it should be a tool not the driving decision maker.

    While I want them to rotate the DH spot and not have a DH only player, Roden is a fourth outfielder, AAA depth piece. He has done nothing to say we have to find a place in the lineup for him and he is no longer a prospect at 27.

    In July he performed poorly like every other time he has been in the big leagues, he did well in August and September in the same number of at bats. I wouldn't get rid of him, but he did not do enough to say he is any more than a bench piece at this time.

    I don't think much has changed, they have been reducing the scouting staff for a few years now. The only real change is Falvey is gone along with a couple of the a couple of assistant GM's. So who does Zoll listen to among the baseball development i.e. analytic geniuses is the biggest question. And one of the assistant GM's was probably a Falvey guy as he was helping on the business side of the operations which is why he left, so there hasn't much turnover. And there really should be more.

    If they go into the season with Caratini as the number 1 catcher, the position will be a black hole. There is nothing in his history that says he is a #1 catcher and will be 34 next year. He is an overpaid backup and is another one of many Falvey head scratching signings.

    Based on the box scores throughout the system, it appeared most pitchers were capped at 4 innings or 60 to 70 pitches, I didn't look every day but did most days and it looked fairly consistent.

    I would go with Luke as well. Clemens had some good moments at the plate. He can play multiple positions on defense but that does not make him a good defender. His arm is not strong enough or accurate enough to play the outfield on a regular basis. His best position is probably 2B as he can't scoop throws at first.
  31. HarmonK03
    I agree with this except for Roden. What has he done to earn regular playing time other than we traded for him. He had a good stretch in the last month of the season but every other stint in the major leagues he was below average. And his good stretch came when he wasn't playing every day, which sounds more like a bench player. Now if he can rake on a regular basis and force his way into the lineup that is a different discussion. But he is past prospect status and has yet to earn regular playing with either Toronto or us. He looks more like a fourth outfielder at best. We don't need more experiments at 1B.

    Hopefully Zoll will identify someone and Pohlad will back up his words and approve the funds. But I really hope Pohlad isn't telling him which players to sign.
  33. HarmonK03
    Are you referring to the same Bradley that Tampa sent to AAA before trading because they could not unlock his talent. I was not a huge Pete Maki fan, but he or someone on the Twins helped Bradley take the next step not Tampa.
  34. HarmonK03
    This comment leads me to believe that they are going to push analytics even more onto the pitching staff. Kalk is the analytics guru of the front office and has no baseball experience and they value this relationship. Analytics has a place as a tool but my concern it will be the driving decision maker. I actually don't mind the hire, was hoping for someone with major league experience but at least he came from a well run system and had been there for a while.
  35. HarmonK03
    In his three stints in the major leagues he has basically had one good month playing as a reserve. Now it is still a small sample size, but I am not sure I am going to create a spot for him based on one month of decent productivity. I think he can have a role as a 4th or 5th outfielder as a depth piece but there isn't a lot of room for him at this point. And I don't want to see him forced into the lineup just because we traded for him, prioritize the guys you have drafted and developed first.
