How Bailey Ober's Shrinking Margin for Error Has Eroded Twins' Trust in Him (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Don't look now, but Bailey Ober has (essentially) a league-average ERA. His 4.28 mark this season is about 0.82 better than the one he put up last year, and his ERA+ of 98 puts him within a whisker of the league average. He's made 22 starts, and figures to make at least two more, including one Tuesday night at Target Field. The Twins are 12-10 when he takes the mound; he's not the problem with this deeply flawed team. However, if you've watched closely of late, it's evident that the Twins are tr
Kody Clemens's Only Shortcomings Have Really Been Other People's (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Much has been asked of Kody Clemens this season, and he's answered the call as well and as often as he could. When it became clear that the team would not trust Josh Bell or Victor Caratini with regular playing time at first base, Clemens played there for a while, even though it might be his worst defensive position. When injuries and poor performances piled up in the outfield, Clemens trotted out there, even covering center field for a short time—despite being 30 years old and lacking the raw a
Brooks Lee is as Good a Fit at Third Base as He Was a Bad One at Shortstop (opens the original)

Athleticism spreads across a baseball diamond in predictable ways. There are always outliers, because some geniuses find ways to succeed in unexpected places via their savvy, and because teams sometimes align their talent in strange ways for any number of reasons, but we know where the best athletes need to be during baseball games—and which kinds of athletes are most needed in which places. For instance, your tall, languid guy usually shouldn't be at third base. Nor should your fast but underpo
One Weekend of Measurables on Twins Rookie Phenom Walker Jenkins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first thing you notice about Walker Jenkins is his size. In a profession where almost everyone is big and strong, he looks big and strong even by comparison. When the Twins called him up late last week, they placed Jenkins's locker between those of Kody Clemens and Trevor Larnach in the home clubhouse, and Jenkins practically dwarfed both—no small feat, where the 6-foot-3 Larnach is concerned. It's not that Jenkins is exceptionally big, in absolute terms. He just takes up space, in that spec
The Twins' Playoff Odds Have Cratered. Could Calling Up Walker Jenkins Have Saved Them? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not long ago, I made the case for appreciating Luke Keaschall as a bit of a throwback: a player who can really, really hit, and who is therefore worth making room for at all times—even though he's going to hurt you no matter where you put him in the field. However, that piece was about Keaschall, the defensive nomad, and especially Keaschall, the right fielder who might well become a left fielder next season. The time Keaschall spent in center field, while Byron Buxton was on the injured list, w
