    But he has options, so we need that flexibility so we don't lose guys like Garcia, Banda or even Topa before today.
  2. karcherd
    Keaschall should have hit here.
  3. karcherd
    Someone might want to let Zoll in on this little secret in relation to Culpepper.
  4. karcherd
    Let him work on his hitting right now, that is enough to put on his plate. There is no replacement for him at 3B if he comes back. Let's wait until somebody displaces him from 3B before there is talk about moving people around. I mean Culpepper may not even be up here until 2028 because you have to make sure he is ready and that probably won't happen until he is at least 25 or 26 years old.

    As I keep saying, there was no reason not to call up Culpepper. Zoll is showing the same tendency as Falvey that they favor the vets, mostly underperforming over the younger players. Even when they have been outplayed. ERod should have been with the team coming out of training camp, he outplayed Outman. And yes I know Outman had no options, teams cut players like that loose all the time. There are too many examples to list them all.

    Garcia, Banda, Rogers, Sands, Topa, even Orze is in his second full season. Where are you seeing inexperience in the bullpen, I see a bunch of washed up vets with experience.

    I am thinking it is more to keep Clemens and Bell in the lineup with Buxton at DH.

    At some point, they need to determine roles and run with them for a period of time. If it doesn't work, change it up at a point in time. Even Shelton has mentioned he would like to establish roles. It is hard to constantly try to match up, at some point you have to go with your best option for that situation. Even if the options are average at best. So give someone the 8th inning and someone the 9th inning and see what happens.

    Thank you for clarifying the status of Gray and Kreidler, I wasn't 100% sure. No minor leaguer is ever 100% ready to be called up, they are always going to have some degree of things to work on. I don't think he is that far off, so why not try and jnject some juice into the lineup and give fans some hope. Churning thru guys like Arcia and Gray is just leaving this organization stuck in neutral, going nowhere.

    I am not necessarily a fan of Bowman, but if you are going to call up Arcia based on AAA numbers why not Bowman. Garcia and Banda haven't exactly done anything to earn a roster spot. I would prefer the younger guys but if they are going to have guys with major league experience why not give him a shot.
  11. karcherd
    Let's not get ahead of ourselves, he hasn't even played a game yet.
  12. karcherd
    Topa has had one good year and last year was average and he is 35 years old. Four of his last 6 outings he has given up runs. I am not sure, this will be a huge loss to the bullpen.
  13. karcherd
    Lee has experience at 3B, it's not as difficult as they make it. If they want Culpepper to play at 3B, then have him play there every day for a period of time. It's the moving back and forth that is not helping the development of the players. There used to be a time when they would send a player down to change positions to give them time to get acclimated to it.
  14. karcherd
    Choose a position for him and let him get comfortable. This anyone can play anywhere is getting old. If it is shortstop and Houston or someone else comes along and is better, move him at that point. But choose a position for him, not everyone has to be a utility player.
  15. karcherd
    For a team that thinks they are contending they are not trading Ryan. They have bought into the notion that they are a contender, otherwise Culpepper would have been up here.
  16. karcherd
    Arcia would have to hit .400 to garner any interest at the deadline. The only interest in him this offseason was a minor league contract.
  17. karcherd
    I think it is being very optimistic hoping for a .230 batting average, I am thinking he will be closer to the rest of the lineup right around .200.
  18. karcherd
    The Twins announced it
  19. karcherd
    I hope you are correct about Arcia because this roster doesn't have me real excited and I was hoping for some move that would generate a little buzz.
  20. karcherd
    Caratini has actually done pretty good on the ABS challenges, who knows about Jackson.
  21. karcherd
    It doesn't look like they are interested in bringing up Bowman if they recalled Adams. Today would be the day to do it as they need arms that can pitch tonight.
  22. karcherd
    Being an upgrade over Lewis is a low bar the way he is currently playing. I know Arcia is playing well but will that translate to anything more than he has done the last couple of years. On this roster we now have two AAAA utility players and one veteran utility player that is on the downside of his career. Even if this translates to one or two more wins this year, how does this help the team today or in the future. Is Culpepper really that far off from being ready to being called up. Let's not wait for the perfect timing. And if Lewis finds himself that is a good problem to have. I am afraid we are going to be stuck with Arcia, Gray and Kreidler because if I recall correctly they would need to be DFA'd if they are moved off the active roster. The recent history of this organization is they get nervous about not having enough depth so moving off of any of those players will be very difficult and a slow process.
  23. karcherd
    It is Adams coming up.
  24. karcherd
    For everyone wanting Jeffers traded, you will now see the future starting today. Caratini and Jackson will be the two catchers for the near future.
  25. karcherd
    He might have problems swinging a bat if it is his wrist. So not sure DH is an option.
