Just showing up and skating hard for over 60 minutes are two completely different things. I agree the playoff system sucks, but that's another topic.

Could Joe Ryan Realistically Win the AL Cy Young?

What a crock of merde. -

Another reason why I don't care if Buxton has lost a little in the speed of his throws. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

Byron Buxton has played 11 years in CF (nearly 6600 innings) and has had 24 assists: that's just over two a year. The average number of assists last year for players with over 700 innings in CF was 4.98 (Baseball-Reference.com). If Buxton loses a little arm strength and his assists drop to under two a year, I can live with that.

I think my decision is the same as yours. Just the fact that the Twins are only 1.5 games out of the playoffs tells you how bad the AL is (my apologies to New York and Tampa). And now that I think about it, the Twins are 2.0 games from being in the playoffs. If they make up the 1.5 games, that only ties them for last.
-
What else could management have said except that they have confidence the team's ability to reach the playoffs? They took a stance before the season started (possibly in an attempt to rationalize making no off season moves), that the Twins would be competitive and aim for the playoffs. They have about a one in three chance to make the playoffs; but would anyone make a bet that they get past the first round? Unless the Twins dramatically improve over the next 40 days, I certainly wouldn't.

You must not have been a TD reader very long. There ha e been numerous absurd articles over the years and this one is just another one. 😁

Ranking Twins Trade Candidates If They Sell At MLB Trade Deadline
-
Two items from the perspective of my couch in Maine. 1. Joe Ryan. Talks should already underway with his agent on an extension (including an AAV dollar amount). If the front office is convinced he would sign an extension at an acceptable amount, sign him. If the response from Ryan's agent is that Ryan would not sign an extension, trade him. 2. As with all trades, the return has to be acceptable to the front office. Otherwise, just say no and see if the offer changes.

IMHO..... The first step is to get a yes or no from Joe Ryan [or his agent] on whether he would be open to an extension. If he isn't, the Twins should be sellers and he's now on the trade block.

To be fair to Keaschall, in the double play video, the throw from the SS was pretty lakadasical and didn't give him much time to pivot, avoid the runner, and then throw to first. A better throw from the SS would have resulted in a DP and no controversy.
-
If, and it's a big if, Culpepper, Houston, Lee, Lewis, and Keaschall (and maybe Cholowsky) are all fighting for infield and DH jobs, the Twins would not have to waste money trying to find a DH (or first baseman) and concentrate on piching improvements.

What is Kyler Fedko’s Job?

Cody - Just a clarification, please. This article dropped 17 hours ago; sometime around 3:00PM on Saturday. So when you say that something will happen on Saturday, do you mean the Saturday on which you posted this, or the following Saturday? The former implies that activation could happen in a day or two. The latter implies the activation could be in ten days or longer.

Does he really throw side-arm? That could be the cause of his inaccuracy. Side-armed throws have a tendency to fade to the right. Can it be controlled? Can it be changed? Or is it acceptable as it now is? So many questions.
