    Hopefully he is playing at the depth that the coaching department told him to play. He is not Buxton and probably never will be.

    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. gman
    That could work

    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.

    Zoll isn't the problem, neither was Flavinoid. The problem is still there in the ivory tower.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  10. gman
    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.
  11. gman
    You do know that the minor league outfielders you mentioned have all been injured most of the year?
  12. gman
    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.

    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.
  14. gman
    I meant ti include him
  15. gman
    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.
  16. gman
    With only 2 weeks until the draft, I'd set my preferred draft order. With the time it take's to develop a catcher and a pitcher, I'd lean towards the shortstops. Chowlosky "could" reach the majors the second half of next year, while I think Emerson would take at least 2 years longer.
  17. gman
    Bring up Wallner again and hope he hits a bunch through the All star break. Then trade him and Larnach post break. Bring up Mendez and let him play the second half. Also Jenkins and perhaps Rodriguez if he's ready to go. I assume Mendez in left and Jenkins in right. Of course there is Gonzalez and Roden? Maybe bring them all up and let them play. Might have to also trade Bell and Martin.
  18. gman
    The real fans know they shouldn't but what does the owners say.
  19. gman
    I'm hoping you mean Lopez. I sure hope nothing has happened to Ryan.
  20. gman
    I'm not much caring if he makes the Twins this year. I would like to see him get a lot better and kick the door in next year. The team does need at least 1/2 dozen players doing that.
  21. gman
    The Twins definitely need a lot of help in their lineup. For too any years they have had below hitting batters in the 3-5 spots, let alone the rest of the lineup. It wouldn't take too much for him to force his way into the top 3 hitters in the Twins lineup, with Jeffers out until almost August. It would be much better for the Twins if he could force his way into the 3-5 spots in the lineup instead of the 8-9 spots.
  22. gman
    If he can settle in as a average big league first baseman, that'll be better than the Twins have had in 10+ years(?).
  23. gman
    Since Mendez hasn't been a real wowwer in the outfield, I think they should give him a long term home at first base. The Twins do need to train some players to cover first and they have a few who can cover the outfield, if they ever stay healthy. Perhaps unlikely to stay at that level, they could use someone with a 977 OPS.
  24. gman
    No kidding. Obviously my statement was way over your head.
  25. gman
    If something like the owners offer comes to fruition, the Twins may almost have to hang unto Jeffers and Ryan, along with Buxton. With a minimum payroll of $175 million the Twins would need some players on the roster that are valued at higher than current minimum wages. I wonder at what point a team needs to reach the minimum, I would think fairly quickly.
