    It's the safe way, I said in a post earlier this week, Zoll needs to walk over to Target Center and talk to Connelly about how to build a winning team. His philosophy is if I am going to get fired, I am going down swinging for the fences, that is a paraphrase but that was the meaning.
  2. HarmonK03
    It would be too much sense and take playing time away from Gray. They need Gray ready to come up here and help the big club.
  3. HarmonK03
    There is no plan with Rojas, they love bulk guys more than anything else. It looks like it was one of those magic piggyback games tonight.
  4. HarmonK03
    Kreidler got on base, maybe he should be moved to the lead off spot.
  5. HarmonK03
    Or we could go find his equivalent in the offseason, he is not the only option.
  6. HarmonK03
    Nothing has changed from that regard.

    Some of that was that the Phillies adjusted too, they were not letting him expand the zone. There were some no doubt misses, but there were a few close pitches they took. He needed to adjust and throw it in there and didn't.

    I know Preilipp just gave up 7 runs, but this offense needs help and it's not just against lefties. Is Zoll going to wake up and get them some help. Jenkins needs to be up here, put Keaschall at 2B if you have to a few days a week. Right now Clemens is unplayable from an offensive standpoint, he can move around and fill in. But they need to do something, they can't keep doing the same thing and hope for better results. Jenkins won't be the savior, but he should be able to help to some degree and maybe he will provide a bigger spark, you don't know until you try.

    It looked like Borrego was sending him
  10. HarmonK03
    Silly me, I thought the Twins wanted to be a contender. And everyone told me he would be up here on 8/15.
  11. HarmonK03
    No Jenkins in game 2 for the Saints, let's keep an eye on 35 to see if he is finally on his way now that the magic day has passed.

    I have no idea if there was a market for Jackson and my assumption is they want Caratini to be the catcher next year, which I am not crazy about. And they decided to keep Jeffers and take the comp pick because they think they are contenders. This move should have happened on August 4th, once the deadline was over. This is my real frustration with this organization, there seems to be no plan and if there is one it feels like a dartboard is involved.
  13. HarmonK03
    I thought the Twins plan was to stretch out Rojas, tonight 4 innings 52 pitches with 0 runs and 5 strikeouts. Do they have any sense of urgency. He's thrown 50 pitches in an outing up here.
  14. HarmonK03
    It has been reported Jeffers has already indicated he won't accept the QO. This move has nothing to do with Jeffers and everything to do with balancing the roster. You just can't carry 3 catchers when one has no role. I am wondering how many had even heard of Jackson before we acquired him, my guess is not many. So who knows maybe they will find the next Jackson during the offseason to be the backup. He had some nice moments, but he is a journeyman catcher and they can be found every offseason.
  15. HarmonK03
    He has an opt out in 10 days, so he may not be with the Saints long, it will depend on how he looks and if the Twins or another team think he can help hem down the stretch.
  16. HarmonK03
    First you are assuming Jackson will be available and also you do realize there are other backup catchers in the major leagues.
  17. HarmonK03
    For this year there is no replacement for him on the roster. If Jenkins and Emma come up it comes down to Martin or Roden. Martin has been more productive and hits RH. The only way you would replace him is if you wanted to get creative and bring up Sabato or Ross to fill a specific role. As of next year, we will need to see how the roster shakes out. But I really don't think Kreidler has done enough to be handed the utility job next year. He just doesn't hit enough, they really need to upgrade this position.
  18. HarmonK03
    If Jenkins is up here, you have 4 outfielders that you can rotate and everyone plays 5 to 6 days a week. And you could DH someone 1 or 2 days a week, unless Bell is on one of his heaters. Buxton is not going to be playing every day, they will probably do some sort of load management for him. So with Jenkins up here you would have a true back up CF.
  19. HarmonK03
    I think someone by the name of Dustin Pedroia moved him to the outfield. The Dodgers moved him back to the infield somewhat out of necessity but I read that was also his preference.
  20. HarmonK03
    Sometimes you have to give the pitcher credit, he actually has been laying off that outside much more frequently since his return. But we are sitting on our recliners with no real idea of what it looked like coming in. Nola was making many hitters look foolish last night.
  21. HarmonK03
    Was it Falvey or Joe Pohlad nixed the trade last year, I thought it was Falvey.
  22. HarmonK03
    And to think Bell was actually signed to be the first baseman not the DH. Think of the planning going into that.
  23. HarmonK03
    I agree, my concern is if they promote him because he is a veteran regardless of results. The opt outs do make that more difficult. But definitely a good signing for insurance against injuries.
  24. HarmonK03
    You are correct that it isn't easy but I do believe they can give him playing time 5 days and even as a defensive replacement for Keaschall on the days he doesn't start. It may mean playing Keaschall at 2B two or three days a week, but are the defense shortcomings that much different in the infield vs the outfield right now. And quite honestly from an offensive standpoint, Clemens should not be in the lineup every day right now. And Bell is streaky, if he isn't on one of his hot streaks, are we losing as much sitting him periodically. When I look at his season numbers they are basically equal to Lee's, who everyone seems to think is underperforming so I am not as opposed to sitting him once or twice a week. I don't believe in punting on the 13th man on the bench, I want them to have some sort of role and not sit for two weeks. In that regard Roden would at least be an option to pinch hit later in the games better than we had with Jackson. But I really do want to see Jenkins, I know it won't be easy but I think it's worth it to see if he can provide any kind of spark to the team.

    This is pocket change for Buxton, there has to be a better take.
