  1. Find a defensive home for Keaschall, there should be no question, then put him in the leadoff spot for the year.
  2. Worked his way out of it, good job.
  3. Bradley doing the 6th inning fade again, He just can't seem to consistently get thru the 6th and into the 7th. He needs to be more consistent if he wants to be considered a top of the rotation pitcher.
  4. He has been productive all year helping the Twins win games.
  5. He has played a lot on the outfield as well.
  6. The pitch was outside so he went with the pitch just like the foul ball he pulled on an inside pitch.
  7. This team does not value the stolen base from an analytic standpoint and therefore do not work hard at holding runners on. It is as much on the pitchers as the catchers.
  8. I get we are all frustrated by the injuries and Buck being in and out of the lineup. But he is being treated no differently than any other face of the franchise would be by any other team in any sport. And based on his contract and talent level he is still the face of the franchise until someone takes that mantle from him.
  9. There is no real reason right now to announce that Buxton is being sat down for the year. Technically they are on life support for the playoffs, so why make the announcement even if it is the most likely outcome. My guess is as soon as they are officially eliminated they will say they are shutting him down for the year.
  10. Maybe it will be Tristan Gray, he might just be ready to turn the corner.
  11. You mentioned a little more than that and again I don't feel this is the site for it.
  12. I have a feeling they have moved on from Wallner at least in spirit. His numbers call for him to be called up long before this. I think he is the perfect candidate for a change of scenery. I still like him and think there is something there, but it is at a point where I don't think it will work out with the Twins.
  13. I do like to come to this site to get away from politics, it's probably best to make that point from the second paragraph on another non sports site.
  14. This is a good article based on the roster as constructed currently. But there has to be changes, unless they think some players can make a big leap or continue to grow. We have been a sub .500 team for the last few years with a lot of these players. They need an honest evaluation of where they are at and what they need moving forward. Just stop signing league 1 year stop gaps. Milwaukee, Cleveland and TB are able to stay competitive without spending. It's how about the resources are spent. One big free agent signing is not going to make a significant difference on this team. We need a new front office that is experienced and can present a plan to Tom P. of how best to use the resources and ask for a reasonable budget. Unless there are changes to the CBA to think the payroll budget will go up more than $30 to $40m in one year is not going to happen despite what Tom said. And it may go up that much and may not need to if they decide to go young and fill in the holes with free agents in 2028.
  15. I will clarify because you are correct, they should start spring training as starters and others have to outpitch them. This is more in a reaction to others who keep saying Abel should be in the rotation. So far in a very small sample size he has had only a couple of good starts. Whereas Matthews and Preliepp have performed well this year and Abel should have to outperform to get a spot.
  16. Lewis had a down stretch in July after the all star break and now again the last 10 days. To say his hot streak was only a few weeks is not a fair statement. And how can you judge his play at 1B, he is learning it on the fly. It took Mauer a couple of years to get comfortable and master the position. As for Lee, I agree with you.
  17. Clemens should be a utility player that they are playing every day and hitting in the middle of the lineup.
  18. They will be better off to non tender Larnach, if he gets the projected $7-$8m in arbitration, not many teams will take him. It's a sunk cost time, if he's not part of the future, then just move on.
  19. First we have no idea of the direction of the team, because they need to figure out a lot things. And one of those is get more athletic, why sacrifice that for a league average DH. Bell has done ok, but it's not like he is elite or outstanding. And based on his history will he be able to repeat his production.
  20. I have said multiple times, Tom P. needs to walk across the street. Tim C. is willing to make moves to make the team better even if it is not the conventional move.
  21. I don't disagree with that, but he will here for two more years, so we don't need to go search for a fringe to fill some vague role because they are good in the clubhouse.
  22. Why don't you look at Matthew's results for the season, he has had 15 good starts out of 18 and is averaging almost 6 innings a start. And he keeps his team in almost every game. And he has gotten stronger in August. And good job of cherry picking stats on Lewis. Yes he has struggled the last two weeks of August but still has a batting ave of .277 and OPS of .708. And he has been one of our top hitters since coming back from St. Paul. Yet Clemens who has been ice cold the month keeps hitting in the middle of the order.
  23. You have Buxton and Clemens as vets, let's get talent on the team. The first thing they need to do is figure out their identity. Do they want to be more athletic, then Bell definitely should be nowhere this team. But they need new leadership in the front office that can define a plan and execute it. Then you decide which players fit and which don't.
