    How about putting the best player in there. Keaschall has been hitting over .300 since May and Kreidler is not Gold Glove level to make for that big of a difference. Keaschall can hit righties, the obsession over platooning is insane and leads to this type of lineup configuration.
  2. HarmonK03
    So you are going to have Kreidler in the lineup over Keaschall, in what world does that make the team better overall.
  3. HarmonK03
    Both sides have huge egos. But I don't think serious negotiations will begin until February or March when checks start getting missed. That is why we may miss a few weeks but I don't think it will be long, there is too much money involved on both sides.
  4. HarmonK03
    Who plays 2B. And why would you platoon Keaschall, he has been hitting over .300 since May and you want to play him a quarter of the time.
  5. HarmonK03
    It is time to move on from Roden, he has not grabbed hold of any of the three opportunities given to him. Yes he hit a double yesterday, I am sure most AAAA guys can do this at some point during a stint in the majors. Revocable waivers were eliminated in 2019 when they changed the trade rules.
  6. HarmonK03
    One additional point if Royce continues his pace from June 6, over a season he would hit over 30 HR's. Now I get we need to see it for a longer period of time. I am becoming more convinced you give him 27 to see if he can figure it and move forward. Now if he falls off the last two months of the season, then that would be a different discussion.
  7. HarmonK03
    Kreidler can fill in when someone needs a day off or as a defensive replacement. Let's not go looking to force him into the lineup like they are doing with Caratini. Kreidler is the one who should be the 13th man on the bench.
  8. HarmonK03
    Why would you send Martin down over Roden, who has been more productive.
  9. HarmonK03
    Kreidler is average in CF, he may be better defensively than Keaschall, his lack of hitting does not overcome the difference. We have a CF in St. Paul if they are that concerned with Keaschall then Jenkins needs to be up as well. Kreidler is not the answer.
  10. HarmonK03
    I really hope they don't move him around, that is Kreidler's role.
  11. HarmonK03
    The rush would be if they are going to act as contenders than you make these moves instead of keeping Gray, Roden or Jackson on the roster. Now I know Culpepper just called up so that is a good start.
  12. HarmonK03
    That is not true, you can get 4 outfielders regular AB's very easily, managers do it all the time. And Bell doesn't need to play every day, there are AB's available at DH as well. And when you have 4 quality outfielders, one may be available to pinch hit later in the game, an actual quality batter, rather than just a platoon move for the sake of it.
  13. HarmonK03
    How about we raise the floor and have a 13th player that can contribute something. Like KC does with Tolbert.
  14. HarmonK03
    I don't necessarily disagree, but the team says they are contenders and have made moves that they think support that. So why only go halfway, either act like a contender or don't. Jenkins can play more than CF, Buxton's status should have no impact on this decision.
  15. HarmonK03
    If they are contenders which they are claiming they are, then they need to be up here. There is no reason to wait, this b.s. about August 15th is not what a contending team would be doing.
  16. HarmonK03
    Per Gleeman, Jenkins slash line for the last 30 games since returning .303/.366/.521. For those wanting to see a sustained run, I think we are seeing it. There is no reason he shouldn't be in the lineup in Milwaukee tonight.
  17. HarmonK03
    I just don't understand the fascination with keeping him on the roster and fear for next year. In some ways I would rather have Jackson than Caratini but because of contracts that's not going to happen. He is not a young prospect, there will be plenty of similar players with his background available in the offseason if we can't slip him thru waivers. Why are we willing to play one player short this season for this low amount of risk. He pinch ran for Bell last night, is that really the best use you can do, using your third catcher. And if we needed another pinch hitter we were out of options because we are playing with a short bench.
  18. HarmonK03
    What has he done this year in his 66 AB's. He will be 31 next year and has a career ave of .174 and OPS of .557. He has contributed when called upon, but there are always journeyman catchers available in the offseason. He is the easiest option to replace in the offseason. Why do we play short this year just so we can have a backup catcher for next year. This to me is one of many examples of why Zoll needs to go.
  19. HarmonK03
    I agree, they seem to be forcing Caratini into the lineup and that makes no sense.
  20. HarmonK03
    Lewis is playing above replacement level right now. You need to bring in somebody that is a clear upgrade if you are going to move him off of 1B. The last 50 games which has correlated with our best stretch of the season he has the third best OPS on the team. And he looks like he will be good at 1B, just stop moving him around.
  21. HarmonK03
    If you are going to limit the at bats for someone why keep them on the roster. We need one of Caratini or Jackson as backup catcher but there are options in St. Paul bring them up.
  22. HarmonK03
    They need to cut bait with Jackson as one of their moves, he can be replaced in the offseason if they need a backup. They need players that they can play.
  23. HarmonK03
    And they are planning for that to be our catching duo next year, this board may go off the rails.
  24. HarmonK03
    Way to erase your own mistake of walking the lead off hitter.
  25. HarmonK03
    I really wish they would worry about 2026, they started to with the trades are they not going to follow up.
