Sands was active from May 13 through June 4. He got 8.1 innings. He then went on the DL, back active July 5 through 28. 3 appearances, 1.2 IP. One. Point. Two. During that stretch the Twins went 8-12 and the pen was stretched thinner than thin. He didn't help "save the rest of the pen." In the least. Nobody, including Baldelli, wants him in any game that hasn't been decided. Emergency or mop up only. He doesnt give them "flexibility and depth." A warm body isn't depth. He wastes a roster spot.

Cole Sands effectively makes the 26 man roster 25. The object is to win games. Roster filler doesn't win baseball games. Has Sands had any actual impact on the 2023 MN Twins?

Where's the data?

Ober and Maeda, then weather no buen-uh?
-
I know what the article was about...a possible, and quite plausible IMO, reason for no deadline additions. What data would there be supporting or refuting this speculation? Would you expect to see Falvey say "Yeah, we're tapped out. No more dinero."? Because as we both believe, there's holes in the roster. So why zero attempt to fix any of them?

You look at this team and don't see obvious areas needing help? Yeah, me neither. So why didn't they get some?
-
It's a very plausible theory. I don't believe the front office thought they didn't need help. At least I hope they are smarter than that. So why didn't they get some? Costs weren't outrageous for the players moved.

"Michael A. Taylor's 14 homers ties his 2015 rookie campaign for his second-highest home run total in a season; he's four bombs away from tying his career-high of 19 set in 2017." Pro tip: never do math in public.

Twins Claim Outfielder Jordan Luplow
USAFChief replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Mancini's 2023 MLB OPS is .001 better than Luplow's 2022 MLB OPS. Neither are very good, But I'd rather have Mancini. -
Heh. Winnah
-
Would never do it, but if Duran let's that bunt drop he can get a 1 -6-3 DP. Perdomo didn't run
-
Can't walk that guy. Ahead 1-2 too
-
Concur. But not as dorky as basketball players who have their pants ending below the knee.
-
Ditto.
-
That was Farmer, if you're talking the 8th inning
-
FIRE FALVINE!!!
-
I wouldn't ever have gotten that one without looking at Atlanta's roster
