  1. Hopefully he is playing at the depth that the coaching department told him to play. He is not Buxton and probably never will be.
  2. I would take a real good starting catcher for the next 10-12 years, middle of the order bat and 5-6 all star games.
  3. If I am the owner, then I know that this is not the Twins year. The best way to get closer would be to trade Ryan, along with Jeffers, Bell, Larnich and several others. I would hope I get a Bradley and Able or better for Ryan in a trade. It may take a 3 team trade to make it happen, but that is Zoll's job.
  4. Zoll isn't the problem, neither was Flavinoid. The problem is still there in the ivory tower.
  5. Recently, I've been looking at the Twins system wide pitching. The pitching looks wretched. If they could trade some excess outfielders for pitching, it might help alot. The pitching looked good at the end of 2025, but I think they brought up everyone that could help, or they all got injured. With Ryan and Lopez possibly leaving by the end of 2027 they are going to really short handed.
  6. I'm hoping that by September it won't matter. If Culpepper and Jenkins get called up sometime in August (or sooner) then maybe Lackey gets the number 1 billing.
  7. Looks like a future (and not to distant future) late inning reliever. Set that as a target for this guy and he may be the 8th/9th inning reliever they need.
  8. To sum it up, it seems he is definitely not a major league fielder and not a very good major league hitter. He is 28 and playing at 3A with a high strikeout rate and low walk rate. The Twins have 7 other outfielders for then spot he plays. I think I got it.
  9. The pitching staff is ridiculously short handed. To start with I couldn't figure out why there were only 4 pitchers on the list counting both starters and relievers. After looking at the roster and results for the month all the starters answering the bell could have been included and the 2 healthy relievers not giving up a run per inning or more were included. Hopefully the Allstar break gives some of these guys a good opportunity to rest.
  10. You do know that the minor league outfielders you mentioned have all been injured most of the year?
  11. I hope Cholowski is available at #3. But who ever it is I am mostly hoping they don't spend most of their first 3 years in the Twins system on the injured list.
  12. I'd do the same as last year and trade our top 5 bullpen arms.🤫 Anybody know who that is? Winning a division by 2 games over 500(at best) doesn't exactly thrill me much, unless you enjoy watching the team getting its teeth kicked in. I'd trade or attempt to trade the same players already addressed by others here. Although with Wallner if he can't hit anything over 95 any more, I might plan on cutting him after the season. No reason to give away players for nothing, if the offers just aren't there. I've been watching bad baseball long enough, I'd prefer to see the team try to improve as much as possible by deadline trades and bringing in rookies the last 2 months of the year. Another year of just scraping by doesn't really do it for me.
  13. Morris, Raya, Banda, Sands, Gomez, Orze, Klein, Paredes, and Culpepper looks like the group of names for next years bullpen at this point. Raya might as well be moved to the Twins bullpen at least by the allstar game. I may have missed a couple of names, but they have a half season to find most of next years bullpen.
