    No new information but another "can Buxton stay healthy" article. Why worry about something that you have no influence over? Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.

    If the Twins believe that Ober will be a starter, then sending him to St. Paul was the correct move. Working an inning or three every few days doesn't prepare him for starting. And, while I'm here, mentioning service time as a reason for sending Ober to St. Paul is grasping at straws. A month in the minors isn't going to impact a player like Ober who will have a very nice career in the majors.

    Gallo would be better than an actual center fielder who possesses speed (both in center field and on the bases) and can hit some HRs and for a higher average?? I would prefer Stevenson (and Martin as a backup) over Gallo.

    I think DocBauer hit the nail on the head. When Julien just reacts, like on a hard hit ball or a diving stop, his fielding is decent. It's when it's a routine play and he has time to think about all the possible negative outcomes, he is more prone to a negative outcome. And, from my perspective, that's not uncommon for a player with limited experience.

    Ah! Chicken Little speaks. The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

    Three bad games out of four? Big deal. Just keep in mind that a .300 hitter fails 7 times in every 10 at bats.

    The Twins are stretching out both Varland and Murphy in St. Paul in relief roles. If they replace Sands and Winder, and the Twins move Maeda or Keuchel to the bullpen, the Twins should have a formidable relief core for the playoffs. And (as long as I'm dreaming), if Paddock returns in late September, he will be another bullpen arm.

    The 2023 draft picks seem to be mentioned every day in the minor league highlights. I think a post-season, end-of-year summary of the performances by those drafted in 2023 would be a nice end to the minor league season.

    Maybe Martin and Lee haven't shown they can hit at the ML level. But could that be because they haven't been given the chance to show it? Last fall, as the Twins were plummeting in the standings, the FO office kept putting a Keystone Cops lineup on the field when they could have given opportunities to minor league guys to show what they have. This year, it's keeping with Gallo instead of giving anyone an audition. You can't show your abilities untill you are given a chance.

    It appears that many responders forgot your basic premise of getting a legitimate ML (or ML adjacent) pitcher as the return for Julien.

    It"s just an opinion. And anything is possible. Now I must visit the wizard of Oz about my bad back.

    I thought there was going to be some information about call ups?

    2023 Keaschall starts in Wichita and Jenkins in Cedar Rapids. Jenkins ges a May promotion to Wichita and boh move to St. Paul in August.

    1. Set noon Monday EST as the start over time.

    I have two thoughts. 1. The current waiver methodology should be changed. If get a player, you should go to the back of the line in priority. 2. For all three additions, the Guardians only will have added a couple million more dollars to their payroll. That's still getting by pretty cheaply.

    As I look back 32 years to 1991 and 36 years to 1987, what comes to me is "nice for a while but now, not such a big deal.". And a whole lot of crap since then. I would rather be like the Dodgers or Braves and be in the hunt every year with an occasional title.
  17. terrydactyls
    Nope. I would rather see the Twins compete every year.

    If Baldelli had left Pagan in the game and the same result happened, you would be complaining that Baldelli never should have left Pagan in the game, especially with a left hander ready in the bullpen. 20/20 hindsight is pretty accurate, ain't it?

    Small Sample Size Alert!!!! The Twins' 2023 draft is looking very good so far.

    For nearly 70 years, I played hockey. Sixty of those were as a goalie. I know what getting hit by a fast-moving solid object feels like. Goalie equipment was pretty flimsy in the 50's and 60's. You learn that the pain is usually short-lived and that bruises go away (although usually replaced by new ones). Hat's off to Wallner for standing his ground.

    I've had plantar fasciitis and it is painful. I don't know how Correa continues to play every day. Kudos to him. Kudos is an odd word. It sounds like an about-to-be extinct bird from New Zealand.
  22. terrydactyls
    I looked at the latest odds for winning the World Series and the Twins are second to last (only the Brewers have worse odds). I think any opponent will be a challenge.
  23. terrydactyls
    I'll play "devil's advocate." It's quite possible that Baldelli called Ober into his office and explained that he was being sent to the minors to rest his arm and get physically and mentally prepared for the post season. It's nothing negative about his pitching, just playing the system to the Twins advantage. He still gets his MLB salary. And he'll be back before the playoffs begin.

    RpR is the Mr. Grinch of Twins Daily. All his comments are negative.

    You can't get experience if they won't let play. How awful would Martin have to play to not be an improvement over Gallo or Luplow.
