    Of course games like last night will convince rubes and TD that the 30 year old re-tread needs to be in the lineup instead of the 25 year old. Same thinking that has kept this team from developing for decades.

    If / when injuries or any other reason to replenish the big league roster come and the team brings up guys like Jenkins, Culpepper & Rodriguez instead of finding dregs like Bride, Gasper, or Helman fans will react positivity. If not, that's on the team.

    Why would trading for Tait preclude drafting a catcher if he is the best player on the board at the time you pick? It's not like most position player don't end up at a different position than the one they were drafted at. If not the Twins would have three guys playing shortstop in a few years. Do MLB rules permit such a thing?

    I get it. We all know better than the Twins how to build a roster. However, it's a long season and it is entirely possible that 6 games is NOT an indication of how anything will play out over the course of the season. I will always remember 2023. As mid May gave way to late May I remember thinking "why the hell is this guy taking up a roster spot" about a guy named Solano who had FIVE RBI to that point. Without Solano's performance from that point forward that team not only doesn't win a playoff series, they don't even make the playoffs. Rash judgements after a handful of games are laughable.

    I'm sure they could find something for him to do

    You will notice that far more challenges are made based on the bottom of the strike zone than on the top. The real issue is that if you look at the rule definition of the top of the strike zone and the top of the ABS box they are not the same. Of course the top of the strike zone hasn't been called for years so I guess it really doesn't matter all that much. Same thing with the TV box we've been watching for years. It's never encompassed the true top of the zone.

    Would be nice if he did though.

    lot of hubub about an inch

    same thought crossed my mind.

    Pine for optimism here and you'll get told to go to twins.com

    Damn you sir. Such positivity. Have you forgotten who butters your bread?

    I don't work for FanGraphs. I just quote what the author of this article wrote. Who and what you choose to believe is up to you. Since nobody actually KNOWS does it really matter? That's why they spend the next half dozen months playing games.

    I don't think Lewis' hitting will impact that many other positions.
  14. dxpavelka
    Typical TD take on things: Since our bullpen is rated 20th we could "easily be bottom 5." No mention that we could just as easily be top 15. Just the usual The Sky is Falling The Sky is Falling The Sky is falling.

    I don't see what the big deal with having to make a roster move is. Kreidler comes off the 40 man and Arcia is added. Done. There should be no concern about losing Kreidler by doing that. There's got to be dozens of guys available who can hit .138
  16. dxpavelka
    Unless it does. Guess that's why they will play the baseball games
  17. dxpavelka
    But it seems like the ones who throw from the port side can seem to find work well in to their 40s.
  18. dxpavelka
    Which means that if we trade him, we will have a short supply of marginal catchers. The Twins way.
  19. dxpavelka
    Would be surprised / disappointed / shocked if at least half a dozen (and Jenkins) of this group don't get meaningful looks this year. Payoff for the blood letting of last year.
  20. dxpavelka
    Wait. The sky is NOT falling? Woe is me that the sky is NOT falling.
  21. dxpavelka
    Less concerned about one guy not winning a spot than happy about another guy coming thru. Of course a lot could happen in the week and a half between the start of the season and the first time the Twins actually need a fifth starter. Not to mention they could use the dreaded Opener one of those days.
  22. dxpavelka
    All this debate and consternation about shortstop and nary a mention of Tanner Schobel OR the Big Q.
  23. dxpavelka
    He just has to get here and stay healthy. Seemingly no small tasks for young fellas coming up thru our system. All the best kid.
  24. dxpavelka
    Is it? Really?
  25. dxpavelka
    Current prospect list almost always looks better than the one from four years prior. Mostly because try as you might you can't put the folks who miss out of your mind and pretend they still have a shot.
