    Same timeline the team used with Keaschall, except they recalled him after 14 games at AAA.

    Culpepper advanced from A+ to AA after 54 games last season, and stayed there the rest of the year. He started this year at AAA and is being recalled after 74 games. Houston advanced from A+ to AA after 56 games, odds are he'll be at AA the rest of the year. He'll start next season at AAA also and 75 games gets him called up on or before July 1. Their GP at A are very similar as well. Houston has put up better numbers at each stop, but I think the Twins move him up at the same rate they advanced Culpepper.

    Ummmm, that would be a NO.....

    I am not a metrics guy, I prefer the eye test for defense - but both favor Caratini. Jackson is hitting better, but I would guess he will dramatically fall off if he were to play 2-3 times a week. The salary situation tells me that the team will keep Caratini over Jackson if a move has to be made. However, as somebody else stated earlier, Caratini may get put on the IL with a "knee injury".

    Since his return, Lewis has 1.5 fWAR, tied for 5th best among MLB 1B over that period and his wRC+ of 132 is tied for 10th. And while his defensive metrics aren't the best, the eye test tells me that with a little more playing time he can be league average or better in the field (see Mauer, Joe). Lee, since 5-22, when he was moved to 3B, has 0.9 fWAR, 17th among MLB 3B with at least 170 PA (roughly 3.1 PA/GM since his move to 3B). His wRC+ is 102, league average, but his 11 HR and 36 RBI are 9th best from a 3B over that time period. He grades out slightly above average defensively and the eye test agrees. Clemens, since 6-26, when he took over primary duties at 2B, has 0.5 fWAR, 15th among MLB 2B with at least 100 PA. His wRC+ is 98, league average, but his 8 HR and 21 RBI are good for 1st and 4th from a 2B over that time period. He makes the plays he's supposed make in the field and grades out about average, which agrees with the eye test. I'm not going into the SS situation because as of tonight it changes; Culpepper, whether he's ready or not, gets handed the keys. Keaschall may get thrown back into the infield mix next season as Clemens probably better serves the team as a utility type player, but this is probably your best bet for 2027.

    Turned out to be a short trip across the river....

    He turned 62 in May, but there might be a spot in the BP for him....

    Enough that I'm glad I didn't say let's make it a drinking game....😉
  12. mnfireman
    I would said to make it a drinking game, take a drink every time someone mentions Jenkins or Culpepper, but we'd all be hammered before 8 a.m.
  13. mnfireman
    Can we get a counter in one of the corners to keep track of exactly how many times promoting Jenkins and/or Culpepper is mentioned? It will happen when it happens, stop beating the horse, it's dead already...
  14. mnfireman
    Too early to PH???

    My older son's team's had this kind of luck when they were playing ball, a lot of atom (at 'em) balls....

    Varland still having a good season, has returned to planet Earth recently. He had a BS today and took the L on Sunday, and currently has a 10.31 ERA in August (6 R/3ER over 2.2 IP, very SSS)

    DFA Gray, 60 day IL Fedko. Add Culpepper and Jenkins and the Twins win the WS. Mark it down - 8/5/26, 2249 hrs

    Everybody else called up their shiny, new toys (CLE, NYY, DET)....let's just do it

    Tough throw or not, Lewis at least needs to make the throw to correct side of home, both plays in question the throw was towards the LH batters box, needs to be in the RH batters box.
  25. mnfireman
    Yep, he threw an unanswered prayer...
