    If the rookies have an innings cap, sign him to a Dallas Kuechel role. Of course, last year DK was awful and they'd clinched the division. And I think Hill was holding out for a bigger role than mopup innings. But I think it's smart to be "in contact." One more injury and...who the hell knows what happens.

    Does Martin look any better at 2B now that he's playing there with some regularity?
  3. Shaitan
    I knew 7 IP was wishful thinking.
  4. Shaitan
    Margot is due. Just kidding. Personally, when it comes to this topic, I think ignorance is bliss.
  5. Shaitan
    Backup catchers are like placekickers. They play until their legs fall off. I always root for a younger player to get a chance.
  6. Shaitan
    They seemed reluctant to put him behind the plate on his callups this year*, so if he's not hitting and they don't trust his defense, he has no value. *Though both callups were more because he was the only position player on the roster and he didn't really have a position to play during those cups of coffee. But I also think they have a lot of fat they can trim first. I think he stays on the roster unless they shakeup the C position significantly.

    That is that, 3IP with 20 pitches now?
  8. Shaitan
    Easy. Read through all the 2024 game threads.

    A real Pablo of an inning for Singer.

    They had 4 days since Ryan's injury. They could have aligned things to use AAAA players on the 40, at least for a spot start/one-off. They did not.
  11. Shaitan
    I hope he's the real deal, so to speak. Even if he's not ready a player can get lucky. (See Albers, Andrew). Hoping for the best.
  12. Shaitan
    Not picking on the OP here, but it seems many people judge a player's readiness by their age alone.
  13. Shaitan
    Strange. I've read on this site 100s of times that the Twins never give the kids a chance until their roster spot is at risk. /s
  14. Shaitan
    Mentors, just coaches, aren't interchangeable.
  15. Shaitan
    lol. what's the headline of this article, again?
  16. Shaitan
    Valid points, for sure. But they can still make more roster changes after that and there will be injuries. Every living, breathing pitcher is already on the 26 roster at this point. So the extra arm is probably Henriquez until somebody heals. And the only contender position player not on the MLB IL at this point is Carmago, arguably Julien. Possibly Keirsey if they want a PR type and he has to be added to the 40 in the offseason anyway. Given how many injuries occur, I think it will still work itself out and nobody will get stiffed, so to speak.
  17. Shaitan
    I'm starting to think we'll see more changes to the training staff in November-December.
  18. Shaitan
    Emphasis added. That's the big question here. "A chronic injury" is pretty vague.
  19. Shaitan
    It explains his performance in '24 so far. But I hope Atteberry's word choice is wrong. Because chronic means it won't go away. This stuff sounds bad when it's told anecdotally like this, but the truth is that few players are 100% and it's such a fine line between "too injured" (Kiriloff) and "aches and pains." Sometimes this FO puts a player on IL instantly, sometimes not. I'm not going to read too much into it, other than hoping he's better now.
  20. Shaitan
    If Lee was injured at MLB, then he belongs on the MLB IL, not in the minors. The union will make sure of that. As for Farmer, as if this horse wasn't dead enough... But he was also playing injured in June. It's possible that he performs closer to his career #s. I'm not worked up over it either way. Correa is likely just a few days behind him, so whatever happens in temporary. Just like all roster moves.
  21. Shaitan
    He had a good run, but he's done.
  22. Shaitan
    And his middle finger.
  23. Shaitan
    I mean I'm glad we aren't the 2024 CWS. But we have been. 'Tis a hard world.
  24. Shaitan
    We've been on the CWS side with enough 100-loss teams. Enjoy it while it lasts :)
  25. Shaitan
    How hard a player hits the ball is a useful stat...to a point. But all HR count for the same amount of runs. I wish they didn't ooh and ah every time over it on tv/radio.
