I blame them for that as well. But it feels people on here like to blame the Pohlads for every personnel move, and Falvey always gets a pass. That was my whole point.
-
The Pohlads didn't decide to keep Outman over Roden, there is no other backup catcher in the minor leagues. You can thank Falvey for that, not the Pohlads. The only prospect that is potentially being kept in check for service time is Culpepper. There are many other guys they could bring up, that would not be impacted by service time. The Pohlads screwed up last offseason by not getting rid of Falvey in October so that they could get a real baseball executive in to lead the team.
-
I think it is fairly safe to say, they are not going to play Larnach at 1B, they have had 4 years and haven't done it yet. Right now with this roster what difference would it make, who would play LF then. They need massive changes to this roster.
-
I don't disagree about Shelton. But some of this is dictated by the front office analytics of how they play in all the different situations. I was hoping we would get further away from this without Falvey, but we haven't gotten far enough away.
-
Should be two outs but they keep playing the infield in and prolonging these innings.
-
Arcia at 1B, Clemens in CF and Gray at SS. Yet we have no room for Fedko, Sabato or Culpepper. Outman can not be on this roster on Monday, why isn't Shelty being asked why Outman isn't out there for Buxton. That is why he supposedly made the roster specifically over Roden.
-
Now we are going to see the fruits of this awesome strategy. They have called up Paredes for Ober. They have no starting pitching in St. Paul and so now they will call up a bulk guy and burn the bullpen when he starts or they will do a bullpen day. But you can't do that every time Ober's turn comes around.

So is Paredes the fifth starter, if so, he isn't stretched out. On days he pitches you will need 5 innings from the bullpen. This is the result of their awesome bulk pitcher strategy.
-
Was he a bright spot in April, no he was not. Clemens is not an every day player, I have nothing against him on the roster but playing him every day doesn't happen on a winning team. And I want the Twins to build toward being a winning team, have a plan that doesn't include relying on scrap heap pickups.
-
We are on pace to win 74 games with 5 players on this roster that should be the 26th man on the roster. I don't care about one game's results. I want to see a plan that moves us towards being a consistently competitive team. Playing all the AAAA and aging vets is getting us 74 wins. Bring up Fedko, Sabato and Culpepper, even if they are not all prospects. These are guys you have invested in and see what they can do. Maybe one breaks thru and you have a hole filled for next year. Or you know where the holes are and allocate the resources as needed. Non prospects are called up all the time but for some reason this team wants to stick with someone like Outman who has done absolutely nothing. And they aren't even playing him for Buxton which was supposed to be his role. What is the downside to bringing up Fedko as the fourth outfielder to see if maybe you have something there. He can at least produce Outman like numbers.

The problem is there will be no market for Bell at the trade deadline just like last year. The Nationals could not find any takers for him at last year's deadline and as you noted his performance has declined even more this year. So if they aren't willing to eat those dollars we will be stuck with him for the whole season. And he is absolutely unplayable at 1B and doesn't hit well enough to be a full time DH.
-
There has to be a couple of late 20's, early 30's utility guys about to be DFA'd that we can trade for to fill those spots. We do value versatility.
-
While I don't disagree about giving Martin a break, any plan that includes regular AB's for Kreidler, Outman, Bell or Gray is not a plan. Playing Clemens any more than 3 to 4 days a week will catch up to them as well. Call up Fedko, Gonzalez, Culpepper and Sabato. Cut or option Kreidler, Gray, Bell and Outman. Gonzalez rotates at the corner OF spots and DH's. Fedko and Martin can play CF if Buxton can't.

And the union would just stand by and allow this to happen. You know it doesn't work that way, but go ahead and think and say whatever you want.
-
So you are going to go with three bench players, good luck with that. And there would be a grievance filed by the union if they attempted this. At least live in the real world.
-
Your statement makes absolutely no sense. He has a no trade clause and he is now a 10 and 5 player, meaning he has the right to approve any trade. He has earned that right and they aren't going to sit him if he doesn't want to go.
-
It is up to Buxton if he goes or not.
-
Fedko and Sabato, two simple answers

Twins (Ober) vs. Pirates (Keller): 5/30/26, 3:05 pm CDT

Only on the pitching side, not on the position side unless it is the kids. -
It does take two to make a trade and we really don't have a lot of desirable pieces.
-
Again let's see them do this with the more experienced players than I will believe there is change. Bell should not be at 1B ever again and he is there today. Outman and Kreidler are on this roster as backups to Buxton yet it is Clemens in CF again. I am not sure there has been a lot of change. The kids always have the short leash, except Keaschall this year and the "vets" are not held accountable.
-
Who do we have to sell, Ryan and maybe Jeffers. Buxton has a no trade clause and Bell no one wanted last year and no will want him this year. I personally think they should be doing everything they can to extend Jeffers, do you really want Caratini behind the plate for 100 games next year. There will be no one else that will draw any interest from around the league.
-
Bell is unplayable at 1B, he proved that last night by not throwing home. Bring up Sabato or Fedko, we are getting nothing from Bell. Find out what you have in one of the younger players.
-
I think part of this move is they needed another reliever up here and had no one else they could or wanted to move. The decision to move back Bradley is coming back to bite them in more ways than one. Sim would not have been available for another two or three days.
-
I will believe they have changed when the same move is made with Bell. I don't disagree with the moves made, but what about doing the same with the vets instead of just the younger players.
