All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

Buxton being nowhere close to starting in the All Star game is a crime. He's easily a top 3 outfielder this year in the AL.
The only Twins in the top 10 for votes at any position are Castro at 2B (7th) and Buxton at 10th. He's 2.1 million votes behind Judge. Almost 900K behind #2, Riley Greene.

You can make a case for Greene and Kwan being ahead of Buxton but no way guys like Bellinger, Baez, Trout and Carpenter should be ahead of him. George Springer might be the biggest joke of them all.

I think Greene is right there with Buxton but Kwan and the rest are clearly a step or two behind IMO.

The NL is loaded with OF's. I think there are 6 having better seasons than Buxton and about 3 more near his level.
 


Julien, McCuusker, and Sabato should all be called up to the twins. Keirsey and Bride should not be on this roster. Neither should Joey Wentz.

Give it time. At this rate, there's going to be plenty of roster spots on the big club unless there's a drastic shift in the next month. France, Bader, Castro, Paddack, Columbe are all likely getting traded. Maybe Vazquez if some team has a few million $ just to piss away.

Yeah I included Kwan because of his defense. He's probably above some of those other guys like Bellinger and Carpenter IMO.

I would think the Twins would likely be more than willing to eat some/most or even all of Vazquez's contract to get even a marginal prospect at this point.
 

I got in the car just as the Twins were due up in the B6 today ahead 2-0. I got less than 5 minutes away from reaching my destination (35; miles door to door) when they wrapped up that inning, leading 10-0.

You must drive in your car every time the Twins play going forward.
 


Swingin' Christian Vazaquez is now 1 for his last 23. The one was off a position player. But Rocco will have him back out there on Wednesday. And Friday. And Sunday. Give them both an extension!
Update now one for his last 28. Last with the bases loaded.
 








Festa’s plus stuff works just like any other pitcher, stay ahead in counts my pounding the zone and limiting the free passes,

Great to see Larnach reach another level, as a consistent, quality bat. Please stay healthy
 

Well past time to put Ober on the IL. He's throwing batting practice out there. Even Dobnak would be better.

They have figure Ober out, either physically or mechanically. 90 mph fastballs with no movement don't stay in the ballpark.
