    Get off my lawn!!!!!

    At very least they needed him as an actual CF when it was clear that Buck was hurting. I'm a big fan of Keaschall and hope that he can develop/find a defensive position but he should have NEVER even touched CF for his entire careeer.

    Is Houston injured? He has missed a couple game in a row no?
  4. D.C Twins
    Japan
  5. D.C Twins
    Nope.... there are a group of us who have been very consistent in our complaints.... receipts are all over TD from well before the trade deadline Now if your complaint had been that we keep saying the same thing over and over again... and to get over it..... THAT would have been a valid point :)

    Touche!

    "We need to buy and not sell at the deadline because we are going to play meaningful September baseball!" (checks notes.).... ummmm. errrr... never mind.... didn't even make it to September.... Soooooo predictable I'm honestly fired up to see Culpepper and Jenkins... I just wish that I didn't have to see Jeffers and Larnach first and be reminded that the Twins inexplicably didn't trade them.

    (shhhhhhh... the season IS already over... but don't tell him anyone... let him enjoy his denial juuuust a little bit longer....)
  9. D.C Twins
    Congrats to the FO for finally doing the obvious....

    For me, this season was, is, and will continue to be all about building for the future. With that in mind... The Good: Culpepper, Keaschall, and Taj look to be legit, young, controllable MLB players. I'm optimistic on Prielipp and Abel (once they are not tired and injured respectively). I think Lee is also a solid MLB player with a tinge of upside. Lewis may just be an asset again (though I'll never be completely convinced anymore). The Bad: It crushed me that we bought and did not sell at the deadline. Unfortunately, the most likely scenario is playing out for this mediocre team.... no playoffs much less being competitive in the playoffs. It actually looks like we will not even be relevant in September which seemed to be the mantra of those advocating for more puddy in the dam this year. We could have gotten a legit prospect for Jeffers who will be gone. We could have traded Larnach as his obvious peak for something relevant. Bell may have even brought something in return. Instead, we traded prospects for puddy in the dam. But, by far the worst outcome of not selling, is that we blocked playing time for our young prospects. Jenkins should be up. Erod should be up (not that I totally believe in him, but it is time to figure it out because he is out of options next year so....) Hell... it would have even been nice to give Sabato a 6 week look. Self-inflicted wounds are always the worst....

    Oh Hells Yeah... finally something the whole TD community agrees with :)
  12. D.C Twins
    Thanks for putting these together.... very interesting and would be difficult to find anywhere else!
  13. D.C Twins
    Buckle up... regression to the mean of BA to RISP and W/L to run differential are about to run into a string of quality opponents. This was Exhibit A for those of us who wanted to trade at least Jeffers and Larnach at the deadline. I hope that those on the other side will eventually have an Exhibit B that shows that the Twins were able to defy the odds... but I wonder... and worry.
  14. D.C Twins
    They added marginally to a criminally low payroll.... I mean... again... Congrats TP... or something.....
  15. D.C Twins
    I personally do not think the Twins were a couple relievers and a #6 SP away from being playoff competitive. So, for me, this was the definition of a half measure.... Neither selling to improve the future, nor buying enough to change the present. Congrats TP... or something.... I'm still rooting to defy the odds though... GO TWINS!
  16. D.C Twins
    Lacky getting comfy...
  17. D.C Twins
    Found an old glove last year with his autograph as well as Gary Ward. Cown Jewl of the glove was Gary Gaetti. There were a handful that were illegible... so I'll choose to believe one of them was Kirby (narrator's voice) It was not...
  18. D.C Twins
    To be clear... I would have 100% traded Jeffers, Larnach, and Bell. In addition to the prospect return... we could have started letting the kids play. I'm highly skeptical that the Twins were two relief pitchers and a #6 starter away from being a playoff competitive team. But... nobody call to consult me... which makes sense,... because I have (checks resume) ZERO experience as a MLB player, coach, manager, or GM :) The dice has been cast..... time to defy the odds.... GO TWINS!
  19. D.C Twins
    Well.... The Yankees called Zoll's bluff on his demands for Jeffers.... I strongly suspect something was on the table that was worth well more than a QO based on the return of the other catcher (even taking into account another year)... but Zoll overplayed his hand and thought he could get more
  20. D.C Twins
    Agreed that everything is always on the table for the right price. High bar for me on Culpepper because I would selfishly like to see a strong internal core rise up the ranks together and take us to the promise land a la the 1980s. I acknowledge that there is a bit of a romantic/idealistic vision involved here, but pragmatically, If they do rise up together the window will actually be quite large.
  21. D.C Twins
    If they trade Culpepper... that would be a disaster.... complete short sighted move. Gonzales.... ok for the right return... Emma as well for me but that is because I have grave concerns about his swing and miss at pitches in the zone problem.
  22. D.C Twins
    Quite simply, this is not a move that a playoff competitive team makes... full stop.
  23. D.C Twins
    I appreciate the historical comps and the time you put into this piece!
  24. D.C Twins
    (Narrator's voice) Jeffers is leaving at the end of this year and will not be around to 'lead and teach the youngsters'.... Buxton is not part of the discussion because he has a no trade clause and does not want to leave. Larnach is blocking OF youth with a higher ceiling that imminently needs a chance in the MLB.'
  25. D.C Twins
    I don't think anyone wants Wallner unfortunately. He has been fully exposed. Other teams have scouting departments too.
