    Keep Jackson then until Buxton is back. You want a set up lineup for RH and LH. Get creative, good managers do that when you have quality options, as I said in my earlier post you don't have to play everybody 7 days a week. So get quality options up here even it means playing Wallner a couple of days in the outfield, he at least is a pinch hitting option. The team says they are contenders, I want them to act like it. This roster does not scream we are contenders. I have been saying all year I don't think they are but if they say they are then show it.

    He is slightly better than Kreidler, this is why you need to upgrade your roster so you have better options when needed.
  3. HarmonK03
    He has no role, that's the point. They are trying to force him in at 1B which weakens everything. I'd rather have someone up that would just be a pinch runner and defense type role if that's the way they are going. They are pinch hitting Caratini for someone most games and then playing musical chairs with the defense which is weakening the defense in the later innings. Every player doesn't have to play 7 days a week. You can have 4 outfielders that all could play 5 to 6 days a week, with the forth outfielder maybe playing 4 days a week. This is why the goal should be quality, quit worrying about what side plate they hit from. By rotating, you also strengthen your bench with better options to pinch hit when needed.

    Two doubles today and a triple last night with 4 runs scored and 2 RBI's doesn't sound like he is still recovering.
  5. HarmonK03
    He can stand out there, but we nearly had one collision a game with him there, he was not taking charge. And his bat is not good enough to be a regular.
  6. HarmonK03
    Caratini has fallen off the cliff hitting and is not a viable pinch hitter, so that option should be taken off the table.
  7. HarmonK03
    He is still on rehab, so he is not on the active roster yet.
  8. HarmonK03
    Kriedler is not a CF and can not hit enough. You would hold back Jenkins for Kriedler that makes no sense.
  9. HarmonK03
    You are forgetting about his stint with Toronto last year at the beginning of the season. He was horrible and was sent down. He may have missed his window, he is going to be 27 before next season, he is aging out of prospect territory.
  10. HarmonK03
    I am looking at both this year and the future. There are always catchers available that can be signed to be the backup for this year if needed and during the offseason if Jackson is claimed. He is not that irreplaceable. The Twins are saying they are contenders, it that is so you bring somebody up that might help you win that game or two as that may make the difference in the playoffs or not. They need to backup their talk with actions. Bringing up Jenkins and Culpepper can help this year and also starts the learning curve for them this year instead of next year. Other teams are not concerned about the potential lockout why are the Twins.
  11. HarmonK03
    Arcia is done, there are no teams interested in him. He would not be an improvement over Gray.
  12. HarmonK03
    Gray is what he is, he had a couple of good moments but he has always been a fringe type of guy. I don't understand all the love for Jackson, I do like him but he is replaceable and right now has no role so he should not be on the roster.
  13. HarmonK03
    Why would you play Kreidler over Culpepper, if he is called up he is the starter. And Kreidler can be the utility guy, that would be his best role.
  14. HarmonK03
    This is an awful narrow view. You have a 13 man roster, you should be using everyone in some fashion. Even if it is a pinch running/defense role. But it can cost you a game or two if you can't make a move because of lack of options. And right now there is no margin for error. Why are we so worried about a backup catcher, there are others out there, Jackson is not some young phenom he can be replaced. They are trying to find him playing time by playing out of position at first, that is not the action of a contender which they claim to be.
  15. HarmonK03
    Regarding Roden, I think it helps to remember he started the season last year with Toronto and hit .188 with an OPS of .541. He has three different stints and has not grabbed hold of any of these opportunities. There may be something there, but we options with more upside that need AB's over him.
  16. HarmonK03
    He has produced when called upon but if you are a contender you can't afford to roster a redshirt which is basically what they are making him. In the offseason there will be other journeyman catchers similar that will be available that can be signed to be the backup.
  17. HarmonK03
    Maybe not every team, but there are others. Cleveland and Cincy are two right off of the top.
  18. HarmonK03
    But yet every other team is doing exactly this, bringing up their top prospects in this environment. I don't think Zoll is smarter than everyone else, but maybe he is and I am missing it.
  19. HarmonK03
    I commented on another post about Martin. Martin actually had a good month of July when he went to more of a role player again. He had an OPS of .766 and ave of .250. I am not sure who we have that would perform better than Martin currently.
  20. HarmonK03
    Then why is most every other organization in baseball in the same situation calling up their top prospects. Why is this organization smarter than everyone else. This argument just does not hold up when looking around baseball.
  21. HarmonK03
    When is the team going to show a sense of urgency, this offense has been lifeless since the All Star break. You can't keep employing the strategy of hope. Hope that Bell starts to hit home runs after he hit his first one in a month, hope everyone else will start rolling. You have to do something different, will we it. The throw by Kreidler last night is really bugging me, it was the way he did, he didn't look, he just chucked it. I seem to recall Keaschall being sat down after some fielding miscues earlier this season, will Kreidler get the same treatment. Time for reinforcements before they fall too far behind.
  22. HarmonK03
    Kriedler is not a starting shortstop, Gray has proven he can't produce up here. Culpepper has much more upside, it is worth it to see if he can provide a spark. Because we know Kriedler and Gray won't. That's not trashing, that's facts.
  23. HarmonK03
    We know you don't want anybody ever to be called up from St. Paul. We should probably go get Arcia or who ever else is on the waiver wire. At least they have proven they won't be successful.
  24. HarmonK03
    Culpepper needs to be in Milwaukee on Friday night.
  25. HarmonK03
    Martin actually had a good month of July when he went to more of a role player again. He had an OPS of .766 and ave of .250. Not sure Refsnyder would be a huge upgrade over that.
