Thank you, that was my point, and that doesn't include Keaschall and Rosario. There are just not enough AB's to go around. You need depth but you also need balance. At this point Wallner needs to be traded even if for a bucket for balls, I still believe in him and would like to see what a change of scenery would do for him. But obviously he is not in their plans but yet is playing every day in St. Paul. Fedko is another that probably should be removed from the 40 man roster. I would hate to see Larnach go but if they are not contenders he is one they need to move on from and even Bell as well opening up the DH slot. But this roster construction has to be addressed sooner than later. And don't bring in more outfielders unless they are a clear upgrade over the top prospects.

They need to pick a lane in the seven or less days. Their farm system is highly rated, so use those assets by either upgrading the current roster or trade away anyone blocking the kids and bring them up. No more half measures. There are a lot of great suggestions on different trades here, but what is the end goal. If they truly want to contend and not just get into the playoffs, they need at least two relievers that you can rely on in the back end, a starting pitcher and one more bat in the lineup that lets you upgrade over Bell as your cleanup hitter. If they can't make that commitment, trade Larnach, Bell and Jeffers and maybe Martin for whatever you can get. You need to clear room in the outfield. Bring up Jenkins, Culpepper when healthy. Decide what other two outfielders to bring up. Let the young guys grow together, have patience because there will be hitting struggles and missed plays in the field due to inexperience. Shoot for a window of 28 or 29 to truly compete. See what you have and fill in holes the next couple of offseasons. But build a team that can truly contend. Winning a World Series is hard, but give me a team that at least feels like you have a chance to get there, not just make the third wildcard. That you don't need every break and get really lucky to make it. That is this year's team. Good teams make their own breaks and create their own luck.
-
Yes but if they are all at the same level how do you give them enough AB's to continue their development. We have 12 outfielders between Minnesota and St. Paul when ERod is healthy. At some point you can't clog your rosters. You need to have some balance.
-
That is not the issue, it's why they are not and either reason if they don't I won't agree with it, nothing I can do about it. But I can make my opinion known Accept a different opinion.
-
Yes there will be a lockout on December 1st. How far into spring training or the season it goes is all a guess. We will have to agree to disagree about whether Zoll is using this as his reasoning for making moves and if it is the action that what we would like or follow,

Way to go Luke!!
-
Way to go Trevor!

You want to replace someone who is hitting .292 with and OPS of .839, that sounds bizzare to me. And what has Roden done in his major league stints with us and Toronto to warrant making that move. Now if there is an injury or trade, he might be next man up and that is fine, even though I would prefer Jenkins in that scenario. But I am not forcing him into the lineup just because we traded for him.
-
You obviously haven't read my comments about him.
-
It's one game and I am glad he is doing well, but he has not done enough IMO to take AB's away from Keaschall or Larnach.
-
And so did Roden, they both didn't do their job in extra innings. They both made plays to produce the first run but didn't do their job later in the game.
-
Where are the Roden lovers, I hear no comments, He did basically what everyone else has done today in that at bat, nothing.
-
Good job Morris!
-
Has it been out there from sources within the Twins or baseball or here in TD land. You have an opinion that is why you think they are making the moves they are. I have a different opinion and I understand the landscape and I have already explained my thoughts. Zoll is doing the same as Falvey and favors the more conservative moves. Just like having Outman break camp over Roden and ERod, when he was clearly outplayed.
-
I am not down on him, he did what a good bench player should do, he produced when called upon and I am glad.
-
I will bow down to your expertise and send your resume to Zoll, because you know all.
-
So Clemens just went thru a 0 for 19 stretch, Kreidler is currently 0 for 11. What is your point, players slump all the time.
-
Read my post, the Twins were planning for this earlier this season, if you can't see that, then I don't know what to tell you. You have your opinion about how the lockout might affect decisions and I have mine.
-
Culpepper needs to be up here when healthy, they rearranged the infield in preparation for him. Kreidler is not the answer as a starter. You don't move your starting shortstop for the next guy and then not bring him up.
-
I think you have to give Lewis until the end of the year before making any decisions. He is taking better at bat's, yes he still needs to lay that outside sweeper more consistently but he has gotten better. I don't think you give up on him yet, especially with no one really pushing for his spot.

Is Zebby Matthews's Future in the Rotation?
HarmonK03 replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Because there are no stop-gap AAA guys currently. Only two guys are averaging near 4 innings per start, they are not prepared to step into a starting role. -
Twins (Ober) vs Guardians (Cecconi): 7/22/26, 5:40pm
HarmonK03 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
Actually it is not even close, Ramirez was 21 and had a batting average of .266 and OPS of .646. You are comparing apples and oranges. And again read my post, I said he is running out of opportunities due to age and there are many other options coming up behind him, this is just cherry picking what you want. -
Has Roden produced enough at the major league level to take AB's away from Keaschall, that is the question. Just to force him into the lineup over two players who are producing makes no sense. His only opening right now is RF and Keaschall has been hitting. If you lay on this cross for a player that can't hit .200 in 200 AB's go ahead. I have no problem with him as a forth outfielder but not as a starter with the current construction of the roster.
-
No place for Roden even without the splits.
-
Fedko was not given an opportunity, he sat for 12 days without an AB. But again I am not advocating for either of them, You were using minor league stats as your criteria, and I was responding to that. And as you already pointed out, there are other factors, and at some point Roden's lack of productivity at the majors needs to be taken into account.
