    It would be nice to have someone with a little more experience playing center field, the play he missed last night was due to lack of reps out there. And Keaschall would make a better back up than Kreidler or Clemens.
  2. HarmonK03
    Can we at least make the pitcher work a little bit.
  3. HarmonK03
    Roden is not a better option, but even if you don't agree with that, we need a center fielder.
  4. HarmonK03
    They can't carry three catchers after the weekend if they don't make a trade. Why are you forcing Caratini's bat into the lineup. We have a first baseman, let him play there and see if you have solved the position for a few years. We have to stop trying to fit in below average players into the lineup and get a regular lineup and play them. Having guys like Clemens or Kreidler moving around should be it, but we are putting sub optimal lineups because we are trying to force players into the lineup.

    Well Fedko didn't really get a shot, so I disagree there, what he would do with it, who knows. I don't really care about the Statcast page because Roden hasn't shown anything yet in 3 different stints in the major leagues. Yet this organization keeps giving Gray a shot who they have nothing invested in vs. someone that they have brought up through their organization and have an investment. Even giving Kriedler a shot when he was hitting .133 before the season started. And don't forget this is the organization that thought Outman was a major league player so I may question their evaluation qualities a little bit.

    I keep asking this question, but if OPS is the criteria what does the number have to be. Just for reference, Max Clark's OPS is .802 in the same league.
  7. HarmonK03
    Lewis has actually done pretty well over there, yes he made an error last night but he seems to have adjusted fairly well. Just think if they actually played him there every day how much that would help him. Jackson has played one game at 1B, you may be making the same comment today because there is a good chance based on his inexperience there that he doesn't make a needed play or makes an error. But hey, this is Little League, anyone can play anywhere.
  8. HarmonK03
    Culpepper should be the next one up. If he needs more time after being on the IL, I would give Ross a shot. It would at least improve our athleticism.
  9. HarmonK03
    But they didn't wait until December 2027, they called up Clark now. We should be doing the same.
  10. HarmonK03
    Arcia was released last week.
  11. HarmonK03
    Or maybe it starts the learning curve and it helps him be successful and even more so in 2027. Other teams do this, the Tigers just called up Max Clark. We have a need for a center fielder and Jenkins by most reports is close to being ready. If you want 100% certainty than wait until he is 27.
  12. HarmonK03
    I agree with the process, I don't agree with the staff involved in the process. They are the ones that have helped contribute to a mediocre team over the last 10 with a small dose of success. So I don't see a lot of change to a vision or a plan for this deadline anymore than we have had in the past.
  13. HarmonK03
    I would like to be a fly on the wall to know for sure. It does feel like he was doing less matchups when the season started but changed as the season went on. It's nothing I have data on, just an observation and maybe he changed on his perception or direction from the front office. But don't know for sure. It will be interesting to see how often he uses Gray.
  14. HarmonK03
    Or he is getting input from the analytics staff on the lineups. I don't know how much if any and no one does but I don't think Joe Maddon was way off the mark with his concerns on the impact of the analytic staffs.
  15. HarmonK03
    It was nice to get confirmation, that there are other members of the front office working on these trades at the front end. Many on this board have seemed to assume Falvey was making all these decisions on his own. So it will be the same this year, the same people communicating with other front offices on trade ideas and the only difference is Zoll will make the final call. So there really is no change to how the Twins operate just because Falvey is gone.
  16. HarmonK03
    What new FO are you referring to. Zoll has been here for almost 10 years and has been one of Falvey's key advisors for at least the last 5 years. And there were no other personnel changes in the front office over the offseason other than Falvey leaving. It is the same people pushing the same failed philosophies, the only difference Zoll is the final voice, not Falvey.
  17. HarmonK03
    It's not like the games count over the next week. They need a sense of urgency if they truly think they are contenders and need to start showing it today, not next week.
  18. HarmonK03
    Based on that then Roden should be sent down. He can't hit .200 in almost 200 plate appearances. Per this comment he has had his chance as well.
  19. HarmonK03
    This is why Zoll has to go and they need a complete overhaul in the front office.
  20. HarmonK03
    I have no idea if Fedko can play up here or not, but he was totally mismanaged and set up to fail by Shelton. He didn't have a plate appearance for 12 games, then you expect him to just jump in when Buxton left the game and be successful, that was a total screw up. He looked more comfortable at the plate when he first came up but you could see he was pressing after sitting for 12 days, A good manager, like TK kept his players sharp so when needed they would be in a better position to succeed. And there was an opportunity to play him, Buxton sat for 4 games and they ran Kreidler out there and put Gray at short, leaving him to rot on the bench.
  21. HarmonK03
    Or maybe he actually fills a need on the roster like playing center field.
  22. HarmonK03
    Is this a Zoll burner account
  23. HarmonK03
    I think this move to Gray shows the impact of the analytics staff on this organization. I have a hard time believing that Shelton was pounding on his desk for Gray to be back up here. The only reason is because he hits left handed and the analytics nerds love their match ups regardless of results.
  24. HarmonK03
    We might have to give them Jenkins just so they don't hang up the phone.
  25. HarmonK03
    That's the problem, they won't bring up the young talent. They very much proved that point yesterday by bringing up Gray. There is no direction or plan for this team.
