    One is on the 60 day IL and one is usually on the Development list.
  2. HarmonK03
    You can't plan for every contingency, do what's best for the team today.
  3. HarmonK03
    He's 23 and needs a day to rest.
  4. HarmonK03
    It's been so long I can't remember how hard that one was hit, but you are probably correct.
  5. HarmonK03
    Best hit ball for Roden since he has come up.
  6. HarmonK03
    And it feels like more.
  7. HarmonK03
    Notice the pattern when he plays at 2B, it's pretty obvious, they have determined that Caratini is the first baseman against LH pitching so Lewis moves to second. This is for unknown reasons that they want Caratini in there.
  8. HarmonK03
    Sign him to an extension while we can.

    Honestly how many games under .500 would we be without Bell. He has had a nice season when he has been on, but didn't heat up until June. July was basically league averages with no HR's after July 4th. Now he is heating up again and still has a WAR of .8, We have no idea what the alternative would have been, but to say he's been a savior to the season is overstating it a little bit.
  10. HarmonK03
    Probably within 3 or 4 games of .500
  11. HarmonK03
    Just not a good one.
  12. HarmonK03
    The only future Roden should have with this organization is as organizational filler. He will be 27 before next season and has not taken hold of any of his opportunities with us or Toronto. And he honestly looks like he is regressing every game.
  13. HarmonK03
    Jackson has never sniffed .300 even in limited time in his career, do you really think that is sustainable. The majority of players just don't all of a sudden turn it on at age 30, Clemens is a rare example. I believe his value is being overrated, if he could contribute they would find some AB's for him. This aversion to any risk is keeping the team in mediocrity, Zoll is just Falvey 2.0. If you can't find another catcher equal to Jackson in the offseason, they might be in the wrong business.
  14. HarmonK03
    Not playing the kids is a choice just like today sitting Culpepper after playing two days. Roden is our strong side platoon and is playing every day when there is a RH pitcher starting and Martin is the short side platoon, I don't think you can say the don't play a lot because that is just not true. Martin is only playing less because he doesn't start against RH pitching, but he gets into most games.
  15. HarmonK03
    We don't need to know the details, but the last few years is the first time in my many years of following the team that I can't see any outline of a plan. If they have one it sure ain't working.
  16. HarmonK03
    I needed two emojis for this one.
  17. HarmonK03
    But remember we traded for him so he must be good and 200 AB's is not enough, we should give him a full season.
  18. HarmonK03
    I think the objective in St. Paul is more about playing time for the top prospects. But I do absolutely agree they have no plan. This is why I will continue to bang the drum that either Zoll has to go or they need someone over him that can set this organization on a path. This lineup is very indicative of no plan, they say they are contenders, they sit Culpepper after playing two days for Kreidler and Roden continues to be in this lineup. And how long was Gray up here. I am not sure anyone can defend this organization and say they have a plan.
  19. HarmonK03
    Better not call for replacing Roden, look how effective he is, he has 9 RBI's.
  20. HarmonK03
    I said it yesterday and I will say it again, I think this shows the front office analytic staff has input into the lineups and probably more than we realize.
  21. HarmonK03
    You call up Culpepper, you play him every day. This isn't a shot on Kreidler but he is not a guy who should be getting AB's over a top prospect. Culpepper looked better at the plate last night, yes some rough moments but this is the learning curve you go thru. Hey he got a SF with the bases loaded, how many times has that happened this year. The Twins refuse to develop their prospects, they don't call them up until they have to, they are never proactive. Instead they keep playing fringe guys who should maybe even be in the league. I realize there are many factors involved in the decision of bringing guys up, but the Twins are constantly ultra conservative. And typically the guys they are playing ahead of these prospects are either vets on a one year deal or a AAAA guy. Currently they are keeping a journeyman catcher in Jackson on the roster and playing Roden who is very much sliding into AAAA player territory instead of calling up Jenkins. It just makes no sense. This has been going on for 10 years and what kind of results has it produced, one wild card win, that is the most important stat. This team needs new leadership in the worst way.
  22. HarmonK03
    I think they should target 2029 at the earliest for Jenkins, hopefully by then he will have an OPS 1.100 in AAA and then he will be ready.
  23. HarmonK03
    You can rotate four outfielders and Jenkins can still get plenty at bats. Especially with Larnach cooling off. Roden should not be on the roster or should Jackson. I think Jenkins has been making his case the past month and to not call him this year is being too conservative. ERod should probably be the extra position player in September. This allows Kreidler and Clemens to stay on the dirt where they are more effective.
  24. HarmonK03
    The Twins missed their opportunity with ERod last spring when both he and Roden were outplaying Outman in spring training. He probably should have come north with the team. But this is obsessed with playing the fringe guys and giving them a chance. Now it has caught up with them in that they don't what they have in ERod. I think there may be still be a place for him but not at the expense of Jenkins. Roden needs to be considered organizational filler and should be sent to AAA today.
  25. HarmonK03
    It is interesting Clemens and Lee have very similar stats this year and Lee will bat anywhere from 1st to 8th, while Clemens seems to be in the 3rd or 4th spot unless facing a LH pitcher. Clemens when he is on, is good, but when he is off, he struggles. He really needs to be moved down in the order until he regains his hitting stroke again. And if they ever decide to bring Jenkins up, you may need to give some spot starts to Keaschall at 2B. I know we are giving up some on defense, but Clemens has to find his stroke again. He is hitting worse than he was in April .
