  1. His defense will be fine but offensively he is coming back to earth. This was to be expected if he plays every day, he will be exposed. Still the best option at SS until Culpepper is ready.
  2. I agree if you look at his OPS over the last few weeks when he has gotten regular playing time it has been going steadily down. I think he has shown he can be a quality utility player with spot playing time to help him be successful.
  3. In the minor leagues he has been averaging right around 5 innings a game. Hopefully we can knock him out early today.
  4. Hopefully he improves on his 7 k's over the last four games or we may see Culpepper sooner than later.
  5. It looks like the Yankees pitcher was a starter in the minor leagues so it may not be a bullpen game for them. And the way we let new pitchers off the hook he could easily go six.
  6. This is the point, they already had a number of LH hitting corner outfielders they needed to look at and also added one more at the deadline prior to this trade. Why would you add another to this mix. If you are going to make this move at least try and get someone that is either a proven player or for a position that you need like maybe a RH hitting outfielder which was probably more of a need at the time.
  7. I don't think we will know who the preferred shortstop is until Buxton comes back. Kreidler started a string of games and then sat for two. This is an organizational decision to say he is needed in CF, there are other options within the organization. If they don't trust Fedko he shouldn't be on the roster. Why not swap him with Roden. Supposedly when they traded for him, one reason was he could cover CF at least as a fill in if needed. So to say Kreidler is needed in CF is letting this organization off the hook. And it has made the defense weaker overall especially up the middle. Kriedler is average defensively in CF, numerous shallow fly balls have been misplayed and he is the quarterback out there who should be cleaning that up. His routes are becoming an adventure and that is going to cost him at some point especially in the spacious outfield of Yankee stadium.
  8. The Twins have chosen Gray all season long over Kreidler, we don't know who would be playing short if Buxton was in the lineup. They played Kreidler 4 games in a row then gave Gray the next two before Buxton got hurt. They are obsessed with Gray and the only reason I can see is he is a LH bat, that seems to be more important than defense. Or even if you can hit.
  9. There has been no change in the front office, it is the same people with the only change being who makes the final call. Until Pohlad gets rid of Zoll and overhauls the front office nothing will change. Zoll comes more from the analytics side, they have no balance between scouting and analytics. They reduced the scouting staff last year and still haven't replaced them.
  10. Some of the comments on Lewis have been over the top and not in fun in my opinion.
  11. Now it is time to roast Gray for looking at that strike three.
  12. LIke I have said many times, if he would have given the cliche answers he would have been roasted for that as well. Yes I wish he wouldn't have made some of the comments he has, but people are way over the top on their reaction.
  13. if that is truly the case, then Zoll needs to be gone tomorrow. He sets the roster and if he is making this decision or letting Shelton it shows he is over his head.
  14. Yes, a 279 batting average in June is not enough, I get he has to hit .400 to make everyone happy.
  15. It's more about the waste of a roster spot. Especially when you have an outfielder out for a week and you keep sitting a player who happens to play that position in place of an infielder playing out there.
  16. Fedko was in the dugout, I was wondering if they brought him to New York.
  17. Then bring up Roden in place of Fedko or Gray. There are other options rather than keep playing players out of position.
  18. Yeah we have no other outfielders in the system that could play out there. And it forces us to play Gray at SS, that sounds that a grand plan.
  19. The routes that Kreidler takes on flyballs shows he is an infielder trying to play the outfield. Let's stop this nonsense.
  20. Remember, anyone can play anywhere, versatility is more important than proficiency at a position.
  21. Why do you think Ross gets called up before Culpepper. If Culpepper is healthy he needs to be up here after the all star break.
  22. Tough to challenge on strike one when you only have one challenge left, that was a good decision by Luke. It would help if the umpire would improve his zone.
  23. He thinks he is still in Little League and the shortstop can take any ball he wants.
  24. Kreidler were you watching that play, that is how an outfielder calls off an infielder.
