  1. What does that have to do with service time or arbitration?
  2. For the 100th time, the super two date passed sometime in May.
  3. Yeah, hopefully he gets a PH appearance. ... KIDDING!!1!
  4. Keaschall wasn't moved off second because of range. He was moved off second because he has hands of stone. He can't reliably field ground balls. He's also got one of the weakest arms you'll ever see in MLB, but that's a secondary issue. Putting him at third doesnt solve anything, it would just amplify the arm problem.
  5. Keep the user interaction forefront, whatever else you do. Difficult, I'm sure, but cut down the daily SPAM from a couple writers. Perhaps expand your writer base. Also difficult I'm sure.
  6. It's 100 percent NOT "service clock considerations." There are zero current service time considerations, and there haven't been any since the super two date came and went. While nobody knows what that date actually was for 2026 rookies, it was months ago. Super two status has historically varied between 114 and 146 days of MLB service time. This year its expected to be in the low 140s, for 2026 rookes. That means 2028 super two status for 2026 rookies was no longer a factor sometime in May. Calling up Jenkins (or any rookie) any time after that date has zero service time implications. None. There are potential 40 man roster implications, however.
  7. I've changed my mind on Keaschall. He cannot be in the field in any capacity. Truly awful.
  8. I, for one, hope there's no strike or lockout. I also hope there's a reasonable salary cap and floor. With real revenue sharing. MLB desperately needs both. If it takes a work stoppage to get there, so be it. But we're off topic here.
  9. You are entitled to your opinion. The above are only that. Not facts. I'll keep my opinion Pohlad isnt making specific personnel decisions, and absolutely isn't making IL decisions. Setting a budget? Priorities? General parameters? Of course.
  10. Maybe Zoll will surprise us. Or maybe Buxton doesn't go on the IL. Keep your chin up.
  11. Havent been in a while but I love the walleye sandwich at Mac's Fish And Chips. I think there's one in both St Paul and Minneapolis. I've only been to Minneapolis.
  12. How in heaven is the above in any way related to the post I quoted (see below)? "Buck - Tom has prided himself on increasing the communication from the front office with the ball players and Buck and Joe are the two main players we know he has had frequent discussions with. "
  13. You could save yourself some embarrassment by doing a little research on MLB scoring history and current guidelines.
  14. Defensive metrics from more than a few years ago are made up numbers. I'd argue all current defensive metrics are suspect. But anything done from history is complete garbage.
  15. As for Buxton, it's a long and sad history of injuries. This latest one hasn't been handled well. He's clearly not been healthy. I will agree it's not a simple decision, though, on playing him or keeping him on the IL. I suspect thst changed last night and he's likely done for at least a couple weeks. Tristan Gray anyone?
  16. The idea Tom Pohlad is making IL decisions is next level idiocy.
  17. Your internet search history isnt relevant here, sir.
