    A lineup of Keachall and Arraez at the top sounds pretty good. You would see a lot of games with first and third, nobody out. Sign me up!
  2. Senior Softball Guy
    The Twins won two Championships with Greg Gagne at short. We don't need him to be Bobby Witt.
  3. Senior Softball Guy
    Arreaz at 2nd, Clemons at first?
  4. Senior Softball Guy
    Matt Wallner with defense? Sign me up!
  5. Senior Softball Guy
    Two out, bases loaded, who do you want up at the plate? Career average around .450. Filling up statsheets is great fun, but delivering in the clutch....that wins ballgames.
  6. Senior Softball Guy
    ....or David McCartney, the Stanford superstar that went quietly into the abyss.

    Taj was "effectively wild". I remember Bobby Witt, Sr when he pitched for KC would be all over the place, not even close to the strike zone , then he would paint the edges. Hitters were afraid to dig in and he used that to his advantage. Close circuit to the haters: Taj IS NOT THE PROBLEM!

    Solid take....time to position the team for 2027. Royce would be a tough pill to swallow.
  9. Senior Softball Guy
    His AB vs. Duran was significant to me. He battled one the nastiest of the nasty and was rewarded with a broken bat single. Very impressive!
  10. Senior Softball Guy
    Perhaps the coach staff as told Mr. Jackson that he will be part of the catching tandem if he stays.
  11. Senior Softball Guy
    Applaud the effort and the outline drawn on the wall the next day! Mike Jackson while having a solid season for the Twins also made sure Tori, Latroy, and Jacque went to the Negroe League Hall of Fame when they played the Royals.
  12. Senior Softball Guy
    A good point. I would add that we have 10,000 lakes, the best WNBA team, Gopher sports, NBA, NFL, NHL teams as well as the Loons! St. Louis has the Blues (and the blues) and the Cardinals. KC has the Royals and Chiefs. Thus said, I went to the final Coors Field games (ticket price $1) and watched a full house cheer on the worst team in baseball.

    Methinks Roden, but putting Jackson on waivers would be tough. In September they can bring Roden back up.
  14. Senior Softball Guy
    Fans like the intrigue of the trade deadline, but do you really want to mess with the chemistry of the team you have. It's too damn easy to over think things, play chess master when you should just 'Let it be, Let it be".........
  15. Senior Softball Guy
    Bell's professional at bat was huge. Without it Kody never gets to the plate. He does lead the team in RBI's as well.
  16. Senior Softball Guy
    Shea Langeliers just went on the dl with a torn Miniscus. Jeffers trade potential has increased a lot.
  17. Senior Softball Guy
    Every organization has successes and horror stories.. Time will tel on these deals. You make a terrific point about how our draft position changed, enabling us to pick Lackey.
  18. Senior Softball Guy
    Go had a signature pitch: the "Go" ball and man did it go!
  19. Senior Softball Guy
    Zebby is a classic "innings eater" that gives you 6 innings consistently. Every good staff needs a 4-5 starter that does this and every so often they steal wins with. For this team right now that is more than enough with the bullpen a possibility down the road. Look at other teams right now and evaluate and compare the backends of rotations to ours.
  20. Senior Softball Guy
    Perhaps sending Alex Jackson in a package with Larnach could net a nice return for teams looking for catching depth. QO Jeffers and if he accepts you go a long way towards the coming MLB minimum salary floor.......or you trade Jeffers.
  21. Senior Softball Guy
    First time agreeing with a Whitey take! Balance is needed. I enjoy the fun give and take, but at some point respond to what is going on. They would be great in a rain delay though. Two or three, but four in a booth?
  22. Senior Softball Guy
    Now will Alex Jackson clear waivers? Tough call.
  23. Senior Softball Guy
    A young person has a memory that will last a lifetime. When I met "Captain America" in person in Cedar Rapids, he fit the part. A "yes sir-no maam" kind of guy, very impressive.
  24. Senior Softball Guy
    Clutch hitting! Would you rather have someone who goes 3 for 4 and strikes out with the go ahead runners on or someone who goes 1 for4 and the lone hit wins the game?
  25. Senior Softball Guy
    Not enough is written about clutch hitting. The Twins have great clutch hitting in general. Pat Tabler's career numbers don't jump off the page, but would you rather see him up with the bases packed than Byron Buxton? We have a bevy of clutch hitters now whose numbers don't wow you, but make the hits when they are needed. Ironically, the Buck Truck gets stuck in neutral while guys like Larnach, Lee, and Kreidler put the pedal to the metal when the ducks are on the pond.
