    Of the guys you named, Roden 100% and without question. And any of Larnach / Martin / Wallner being here instead of Bell would almost certainly be a mistake as well. And it's gonna take a lot to convince me that Kreidler's glove and MI versatility is enough to overcome his ability to put up .218 with the stick. We will spend the next 3-4 months obsessing over who will be the 13 guys bringing sticks north to start the season as if a Roden / Larnach / Martin / Wallner not doing so is a death sentence. Last year we brought 13 guys north in March. 11 more guys got opportunities before the end of the season. Put the BEST players on the roster and let things work themselves out.

    When is the last time this team DIDN'T have a guy on the roster who profiles like Bell does? And for the most part they have gotten surprising production from said guys. Bell lead the team in RBIs. Yeah, I know he has no defensive value but some very successful teams have had a guy who didn't even own a glove. I know folks get hung up on versatility but we really should be more concerned with value. Is being able to play multiple positions all that valuable if you can't swing a stick? But anyway, back to the list of such guys, Ty France won a Gold Glove. OK, sure he was with Toronto when he did it. Carlos Santana had a nice run here as well. We don't win the division in 2023 without Donovan Solano being the engine.

    so did Rodriguez

    meanwhile Alan Roden & Alex Jackson combined for 34 plate appearances in August

    I'm excited that our 2024 # 1 pick got here two years out of college and our 2023 # 1 got here three years out of high school. Beats the hell out of 2019 and 2020 (ok, not yet) never getting here and 2018 having a "breakout year in year 6 in which he's unlikely to reach 15 home runs or 60 RBI, or 2016 retiring after less than 900 plate apperances, 2013-2015 being Kohl Stewart, Nick Gordon and Tyler Jay, Sorry, can't look any further. Too depressing.

    I'll say that both 2023 & 2024 were better than anything SWR did here and hell, two months of 2021 were better than anything Austin Martin has done.
  9. dxpavelka
    Again, you can't ASSUME that what he did there is what he would have done here.
  10. dxpavelka
    He has 28 PAs in the month of August. Every single one of them resulting in Walker Jenkins staying in St. Paul. Alex Jackson has 1.
  11. dxpavelka
    You also can't assume that what happened there is what would have happened here.

    Too bad for Walker that the big league bats are clicking on all cylinders and it's looking like he might be pulling a Social Security check before he pulls a big league check. Too bad for him that Alex Jackson & Alan Roden must have compromising pictures of somebody in the Twins brain trust.

    Canterino's been starting rehab every year for about a half a decade hasn't he? It seems we HAVE been drafting SS & catchers pretty high.
  22. dxpavelka
    The biggest impact of trading Berrios was that a year hence they found themselves in need of a Jose Berrios type of pitcher. Which lead to the Mahle trade. Need I say more?
  23. dxpavelka
    We might need some reading comprehension here. First of all I said nothing about home grown pitching that needs to come up. I distinctly said HITTING. And I never said JUST traded. The best home grown pitching we've developed in a generation was Jose Berrios.
  24. dxpavelka
    His WAR since he left is 7.0 The two guys they got are a combined 4.1 and Martin was negative coming into this year and is a mere .9 in this his "breakout" year.
  25. dxpavelka
    And we traded away the best starting pitcher we've developed in a generation for minimal return. AND it feels like we need an act of congress, a court order and a note from God to bring up some of our home grown hitting talent.
