Was designated for assignment by the twins. At 23, in a brief stint with them, he had a 1.035 OPS in 20 Gs. Hasn't been able to come close since. Is he a Target Field casulty? Has had VG numbers in the minors. Has a lot of outfield experience at lf and rf. What do you think?

He's been worth -.9 rWAR over the last 3 seasons and has a career 96 OPS+ so I don't know if I'd call him a Target Field casulty. I'd just call him not very good.

Can't argue that he has had a tough time since his baptism in 2011. But h's been very good throughout his AA and AAA career playing well below the league average age level. He's shown good power and excellent OBP throughout his minor league career in some quality leagues. He may have been rushed and lost confidence. A change of scenery might do him good.

I think I'd take a chance of putting him on the 40-man. The guy is only 26 and his away OPS is over 100 points higher than at Target Field. Granted, it's a very small sample.

His minor league numbers show pretty well including a .295/.395/.530 line at the AAA in about a season's worth of plate appearances...and in the International League, not the PCL.

The Twins designated first baseman/outfielder Chris Parmelee, 26, for assignment over the weekend and the Orioles may have interest in him. He's also got some supporters in the warehouse.

Parmelee, a left-handed hitter, was the 20th overall pick in the 2006 First-Year Player Draft. Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette likes former first-rounders.

As I stated before, I'd be very receptive to picking this guy up.

There are a lot of worse guys to take chances on. Travis Snider and Parmelee are the same pedigree; both drafted in the first round, both in their mid 20's, both left handed with pop, and both with killer minor league #s...and of course both with struggles their first few years. Snider finally had his mini break-out last year at age 26. There's no reason why Parmelee can't do the same thing at age 27, especially if he were hitting in OPAC vs Target Field.

For everyone who was aboard the Matusz for Snider train, there's no reason not to be aboard the Parmelee train.

It sure would be nice to have a impact player signed rather to hear all the time about a Designated for Assignment.Common this team isn't that bad off. Make something happen DD.It would probably do him well to look at the board.I guess there's time before all the trash has been taken out.

I'm not sure that would work in this case. If no team claims him, wouldn't Minnesota just outright him to AAA?

Parmelee, out of options. I think he can say no to that.

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.

      Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      By Pat Kelly · Posted

      The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.
