    The next 1B is not currently in the organization. Identify that player. Trade for him.
  2. Jacksson
    TWO EXTRA HOURS of OF practice EVERY DAY for Keaschall !!
  3. Jacksson
    Possibly him and BP Coach Hawkins as well.
  4. Jacksson
    Move him to RF (if he is still with the team). Have him fill in in CF and DH a time or two each week. Make sure the rest of the league knows that despite Buxton's stated wish to remain with the Twins; the Twins will take calls and listen to trade inquiries.

    BUXTON

    Shelton should order an "unintentional" HBP to one of the premier players on the Guardians in retaliation of Culpepper getting plunked.
  7. Jacksson
    Buxton's best days are in the past. His value is diminished when he moves out of CF and into either RF, 1B or DH. Should have cashed in on his value when the team could. Now, although value priced and if he consistently is able to take the field in a defensive position, he is just an unreliable, injury prone, old beyond his calendar years, ballplayer whose presence on the roster is gumming up the organization's player pipeline of outfield prospects.

    YES

    Too bad nobody had the brains to have made this move to surgery back in June.
  10. Jacksson
    BUT... What if he could play for his hometown team in Atlanta? What if he played on a team with a REAL CHANCE to win the World Series? What if it was communicated to him by the Twins and his agent that he has ZERO CHANCE to win a World Series if he remains in Minnesota? What if he was told that his best way to help the team that has been so patient and loyal to him over the course of his career is to approve a trade and LEAVE?
  11. Jacksson
    I am well aware of his veto rights !! That does not mean the organization can't float it out there that the Twins would listen to offers for Buxton. If the long term career benefits of a trade were to be framed correctly, the trade being with a contending organization and by emphasizing the benefit to the Twins in exchange for their patience and loyalty to Buxton over the course of his career; perhaps Buxton would recognize the handwriting on the wall here in Minnesota and waive his veto rights, approving a trade.
  12. Jacksson
    When a team calls to see if Buxton is available the Twins need to take the call and listen.
  13. Jacksson
    The idiots running the team should have put him on the 60 day IL and scheduled the surgery back in June when this condition first came to light. Buxton has been worthless to the team since that time. His ONLY VALUE being that fans who have sipped ownership's Competitive Kool-Aid will attend a game to see Buxton play. Based upon his injury history throughout his career, this guy needs to be handled with kid gloves when it comes to his health. No amount of delusional thinking by: ownership, field staff, trainers and player is able to make an injury go away, magically heal on it's own or enable a player to cope with pain/discomfort without an injury affecting on-field performance and potentially leading to other complications due to making adjustments to cope with the initial injury. Future for Buxton with the Twins = RF, DH, maybe even 1B or perhaps with a different organization.

    Keaschall is currently a liability for the organization rather than an asset. Unless/until the Twins find a defensive home for him his roster presence is gumming up the planning for the construction of the roster. If he couldn't cut it at 2B, it's highly unlikely he has the reaction time reflexes to handle 1B. With his weak arm, he's not a fit at CF or RF. Does the organization want to turn a 23 year old into a DH this early in his career? So, if he is still with the organization, that leaves LF. Unfortunately, with the system abundance of both existing OF (Larnach, Wallner, Martin, Buxton, Roden, Jenkins) coupled with the OF who are literally knocking at the MLB door (Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Mendez, Rosario, Winokur); taking an infielder and converting them into an OF just further clogs up the pipeline.
  15. Jacksson
    NO!!
  16. Jacksson
    Who are: Clemmons & Rondon and where did we get them from? Difficult to take serious comments from individuals who cannot even correctly spell the names of the players for whom they are making comments.
  17. Jacksson
    AND.. Matt Wallner, Josh Bell, Joe Ryan, Ryan Jeffers, Byron Buxton, Luke Keaschall, Travis Adams, Jeff Hoffman, Eric Orze, Taylor Rogers, Cole Sands, Tristin Gray, Austin Martin, Alan Roden, Aaron Sabato, David Banuelos, Ron Marinaccio, German Marquez, Julian Merryweather, Aaron Rozek, Cody Laweryson, Anthony Banda, and others.
  18. Jacksson
    If Keaschall can't play 2b, then he lacks the reflexes to play 1B. He's either LF or DH or trade bait. No confidence in Lewis as an everyday 1B. Trade him away. Like the idea of signing Arraez as a FA to play 2B. Buxton, whenever he recovers from his off season surgery is the everyday RF. Until then it's either Rodriguez or Gonzales in RF. Jenkins is the everyday CF. Bell, Larnach, Wallner, Martin, Sabato, Sands, Gray, Roden, Jeffers are all out of the organization one way or another as the decks are cleared. After the season ends the team hands out 1B gloves to: Mendez, Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Ross and just about anybody else with a pulse. Meanwhile, the front office scours AAA for a 1B who is able to generate offence play defense and is positionally "blocked" within their current organization.
  19. Jacksson
    No, it is not.
  20. Jacksson
    It is "THE END" for Larnach wearing a Twins' uniform. AND Wallner too.
  21. Jacksson
    To state this fact is an absolute insult to what the game and it's players have become with the passing of time. Check back on the batting averages of the top MLB performers over the last 60 years and try not to feel slighted when a player batting .274 is today idolized.
  22. Jacksson
    Keaschall signed with the Twins 7/18/23. Here we are 3 years later and the Twins have not yet determined/established a defensive home for this guy. What kind of organization is it that permits this to take place? What kind of organization condones signing, investing 3 years of organizational development resources on a one dimensional player? Now he has reached the Major Leagues and FINALLY it comes to light that this guy is so unplayable at 2B that he has to be moved to the OF. AND, it so happens, the Twins have a 40 man Roster and organizational prospect list CLOGGED UP with OF talent. Let's be clear: we are discussing a player currently batting .274, NOT .324. Would .324 be the case, allowances could be made. If Keaschall lacks the range and reflexes to play 2B, then he certainly had better be working on getting the jump on fly balls off of the bat, learning how to play balls hit over your head and towards the wall and consistently throwing to the cutoff man. Twenty-three is way too young to pigeon-hole a player into the career position of DH.
  23. Jacksson
    Team is going nowhere. In his current condition, Buxton is hurting the team, not helping. Put Buxton on the IL for the balance of the season. With roster expansion and the IL placement; there is room to get a look at 3 of the AAA kids, especially and particularly those who are in their final option year. Let's see what they can do.
  24. Jacksson
    Buxton would have to be consulted on any trade discussions due to his NTA. That does not mean that it cannot be floated that Buxton is available. In those discussions with Buxton in which he is informed that the Twins would, at least, listen to trade offers, just that would convey the idea to Buxton that the organization no longer regards him as a fixture and lead Buxton to conclude himself that the remainder of his career may be best spent elsewhere. His loyalty to the organization can also be made apparent by Buxton's own realization that his departure by trade could reward the organization he holds so dear.
  25. Jacksson
    It is a BUSINESS !! By trading him while he can still play CF you are extracting maximum value from an Asset. Once he moves to RF, his asset value is diminished.
