There was a reason he was available at that price. He's this year's Keppinger, Carlos Hernanadez, Josh Harrison, Leury. In other words, a guy whose heirs are very grateful someone employs Rick Hahn as a baseball executive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) What will it take for these morons to understand that 1st baseman in the outfield is a BAD IDEA. It literally costs them ballgames. Edited April 12, 2023 by ScootsMcGoots 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't even slicing and he managed to misread it by 20 feet and then stumble over himself turning the wrong way. Even if he doesn't fall he's going to have a hard time catching it. You can't even be mad at Gavin, you have to blame the coaches that insist you can take really bad athletes and just shove them into a corner OF.

chw42 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 The Twins have 8 runs this series. Only 3 of them were scored from a non-defensive mistake because they were from homers. Every other run has been a result of an error or defensive mis-play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas has looked awesome today and his velocity, location and movement is his best yet this year. He truly doesn't deserve to losing 1-0 through 5 innings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on Oakland last year, in a lineup with presumably less protection, he was still a league average hitter. He just seems lost at the plate right now. I thought he was pressing for 2000, but it hasn't improved since he got it. He's been a slow starter in the past so maybe he turns it around, but can't imagine he gets long if Sosa or someone takes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they insist he remain GM, they need to fade him. Ask him who he likes at 2B, and eliminate that player from consideration. I am not kidding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
