    Finally, a thread about the Arraez trade. I didn't think anybody noticed he wasn't with the team anymore.

    Looking at the splits, maybe Ryan should lobby for Jeffers to catch him more often: w/Jeffers - 2.03 ERA, slash-line against .207/.243/.286 (.530 OPS) w/Vazquez - 5.54 ERA, slash-line against ..233/.260/.480 (.740 OPS)

    A couple of local kids drafted today https://twitter.com/YouthHockeyHub/status/1674465268565782545 https://mayorsmanor.com/2023/06/la-kings-select-hampton-slukynsky-no-118-what-you-need-to-know/

    Doubtful. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/06/gio-urshela-unlikely-to-return-in-2023.html

    Urshela is out for the year with a broken pelvis.

    I also think that Buxton should be placed on the IL immediately and re-evaluated at the All-Star break. Recall Wallner to take his place and play him regularly until the All-Star break. Reverse the catcher splits, Vazquez can still catch Maeda. Team ERA with Jeffers is 3.28, with Vazquez it 3.98. Opponents slash-line with Jeffers is .224/.287/.355 (.642 OPS), with Vazquez its .236/.300/.398 (.698 OPS). Have Polanco use the full rehab, roughly until the All-Star break, to see how his hamstring holds up and see if Julien deserves to stay with the big club (I think Lewis is safe). DFA Kepler and give Larnach every day ABs to see if he can "figure it out" or if he is a AAAA player. There are other moves that need to be made, but I don't think the team has the players to do it. Taylor is not an everyday CF, Castro and Solano are better as bench/role players than as everyday players and the BP needs 1 or 2 more reliable options.

    Gallo - 109 OPS+/112 wRC+ Kepler - 84 OPS+/85 wRC+ Gallo willing/able to play RF, CF, LF, 1B & DH Kepler willing to play RF I think I would keep Gallo and DFA/trade Kepler, but Gallo might draw more trade interest.

    So now its Correa? It has been, in no particular order, Kepler, Rocco, Pagan, Buxton, Larnach, Popkins, Falvey, Levine, Lopez, Lopez, Solano, Castro, Miranda and the trade of Arraez according to the TD staff and users. At least we know where to start to fix the problem.
  9. mnfireman
    All 6. Some pitchers are more comfortable with a certain catcher, just ask Tim McCarver.
  10. mnfireman
    Pitcher's choice, Vazquez has caught all of Maeda's starts this year.

    Atlanta holding firm on the only facing the line-up twice, kids dealing but just got pulled.
  12. mnfireman
    Rosario was let go so that Kirilloff and Larnach could get into the line-up.
  13. mnfireman
    Obviously no NHL fans on here..."Byron Buxton out with lower body injury" Health matters are private and don't need to be discussed. Major sporting leagues have injury reports, but I believe that is mostly for the odds-makers in LV.

    5 one-hit innings from the BP, only 2 relievers used, really picked up a bad start and kept the team in the game. Too bad the bats didn't help them out. Julien, Lewis and Kirilloff were a combined 3-8 with 3 BB's and 1 HBP, good to see this out of the younger players. Even Gallo and Taylor were 3-6 with a BB. Correa, Buxton and Kepler however were 1-13 with 2 GIDPs. Ryan serving up 5 HR's in the first 2 innings did not help either. This team can't get out of its own way and it generally starts with the "veteran leadership"

    Saya the guy with the Luis Arraez avatar..... ;
  21. mnfireman
    They had to fill 3B with Urshela and Rendon (again) both being hurt.
  22. mnfireman
    HP umpire struggling a little bit, Twins lose Taylor because of it.
  23. mnfireman
    Anybody watching that can explain why Rocco got ejected??
  24. mnfireman
    Kepler haters....
  25. mnfireman
    Understand that Taylor is a known product, but he's putting on a pretty good showcase for other teams right now and possibly pricing himself above what the Twins might be will to pay. I am not about wishful thinking, but this is not a good situation going forward if all Buxton can do is DH. 6.5 more years of the DH being tied up by one player is not ideal. IF Rodriguez stays at CF he's at least 2 years away, if not 3. No other MLB ready prospect plays CF except Celestino, which would make signing Taylor a good move, but I covered that already. A trade or FA signing as a stop gap is not ideal, but that may be the course of action the team may have to take if Buxton can't play CF.
