    Caratini is not a catcher, what an awful signing.
  2. karcherd
    You missed the sarcasm font that was included.
  3. karcherd
    He's an elite shortstop.
  4. karcherd
    Sure glad we have Kreidler out there for defense.
  5. karcherd
    We don't know where Lewis will end up, 1B or 2B, or who knows they make him into a super utility guy. They have Culpepper at 3B tonight, he is not playing there if he comes up. That decision was made when Lee was moved over there. Lewis at 2B last night and 1B. Pick a path and let him get comfortable. You don't need a roster of utility players. They become jack of all trades and master of none. Having one or two guys that can move is fine, but they should be your bench players to give you flexibility to make moves during the game.

    Maybe they could get cash considerations for him from someone desperate to claim him.

    This is my frustration, we have options to take over for any of these four players, that are offering minimal or no contributions. Will a Fedko, Ross or even Gonzalez or Mendez give less production, I don't think it's even possible. You say we are playing with a 12 1/2 man roster, I say it is more like 11, Arcia and Kreidler are barely even seen. Which again if you don't trust them to play, why are they on the roster.

    Paredes is not up here to fill Ober's spot. They are going with 4 starters and winging it when the fifth spot comes up. Paredes is on an every fourth day schedule being a bulk guy, He is not a starter, they have one starter in St. Paul in Gallagher and he only went 5 innings yesterday.
  9. karcherd
    They played Clemens in CF and had Bell at 1B with Kreidler sitting on the bench. I think that says everything you need to know about where Kreidler sits on the pecking order in CF. Fedko could easily replace him.

    It is time to get Culpepper up here, Gray is not a major league shortstop, stop pretending he is. Call up Lewis and put him at one position. Decide the position and quit moving him around. Give Lewis a couple of months, if he stinks it up, then move on, but nothing is being accomplished leaving him in AAA.
  11. karcherd
    Neither one of them should be on the roster, it's picking between two bad options.
  12. karcherd
    It's a platoon at SS between him and Gray because we have no other shortstops in the organization. And obviously he can't play any other position.
  13. karcherd
    1st base then, find a utility guy to back up the infield spots
  14. karcherd
    Then give him another set position.
  15. karcherd
    If you call up Gonzalez, you don't need to move Keaschall. No AAAA or aging vet i.e. Arcia should be getting regular AB's. They can be in a bench role if needed. DFA Bell if you can't trade him because I think he is untradeable. Otherwise I agree with the list.
  16. karcherd
    You are correct about the indecision. That is why I think at a minimum they need to bring a Senior Advisor in to help Zoll out and give him some guidance thru this process. There is definitely a layer of complexity with not knowing what will happen with the labor agreement. Which is the biggest reason Zoll shouldn't be in charge. It's hard enough to run a team in normal circumstances when it is your first time at the top but this just shows the experience needed.
  17. karcherd
    Gomez has been a pleasant surprise. This is the type of player I wish they would target more, younger, maybe got caught up in the options game and with a tweak or two be productive.
  18. karcherd
    They asked him to pause working with his hitting coach, he felt he was getting conflicting direction from the team on his swing but went with what the team wanted. How did that work out. That is my point what has the team done to help him be successful, I do think he needs to stop talking so much as well but again when players just give cliches we rip them for that as well. That is why I think he should stop talking. I still think there is talent there and so did the Twins obviously, I am not sure giving up on him a third of the way thru the season is the right course of action.
  19. karcherd
    That signals the importance of Royce to the team, so did the actions of the team back it up. It was not Lewis asking for a visit.
  20. karcherd
    Boom, Lewis does it again!
  21. karcherd
    Remember how long it took to get rid of Garcia, it will be the same for Lawrence after they make him the closer.
  22. karcherd
    The dart board will tell them on the day the decision needs to be made.
  23. karcherd
    Did you know him in California when he was growing up. Some of the Lewis hate is getting over the top on here. The Twins signaled that he was one of their top priorities when he was one of the first players Shelton actually went to visit and not just called. I am not sure everything has been in alignment behind the scenes and no one knows. Yes he needs to perform to be up here, but I am not sure the Twins have always put him in a position to succeed.

    At the time the trades were made adding more LH corner OF's made no sense regardless of what you were giving up. It shows a lack of plan and Zoll was part of that. We don't know what the Pohlad's truly care, about it is all speculation. I get you may not like the Pohlad family and you have that right. My point is the Pohlads need to put someone in charge and let them run the baseball side of the team, I don't want a hands on owner. That started with Tommy's little brother and they have been more successful when they let McPhail and Ryan run the team. The owners should be providing oversight but give their management team some latitude to do what they think is best for the team.
  25. karcherd
    And Zoll also helped get Roden and Outman, not positions of need. Your top baseball man has to present a plan to Tommy and convince him why it is the best path forward. He then either accepts or rejects the plan.
