A Look at Depth

A look at the Non-Roster Invitees

Could any of the Non-Roster Invitees make an impact in 2025? Let’s discuss:   Pitchers: Scott Blewett                A former 2nd round pick by the Kansas City Royals, Blewett signed a minor-league contract with the Twins prior to the 2024 season, not having pitched in a major league game since 2021 with the Royals. His contract was selected by the Twins in mid-August when the Twins playoff hopes were still shining. Blewett, who has a very unfortunate last name for a pitche

A Look at Depth - Shortstop

I’ve decided to write a series of posts regarding the depth in the Twins system or possibly lack thereof depending on how you feel about a particular position. I plan to go position by position in hopes to shed some light on who could make an impact as early as 2025, or who may make an impact within a few years. I started doing this back in 2023 and then life happened, so let’s try again! I’ve worked my way around the diamond and will discuss shortstops today! I’ll be using Roster Resource’s dep

Gathering Ideas/Bringing Back an Old Idea?

Looking at Prospects - Overview of the Minor Leaguers, or Other Ideas?

Hi all,  I posted a while back and was doing some writing on the prospects and depth at different positions throughout the organization. Some life things happened (new job, moved, etc) and I was wondering if people would be interested in me bringing something like that back?  If you'd prefer to see other topics talked about, I'm all for ideas and would love to start posting regularly again. Let me know any feedback or topics you'd like to see discussed further!

April - May be the Most Important Month in 2023

In looking at the 2023 schedule a bit closer, the Twins schedule in April may be the most important month of the year. Not only, as it is every year, will it be important to get off to a good start, the schedule has some tough matchups, and, what should be, very winnable series as well.  Here is a breakdown of the first month of the season:  3 @ Kansas City Royals 3 @ Miami Marlins 3 vs Houston Astros 3 vs Chicago White Sox 4 @ New York Yankees 3 @ Boston Red S

Why Donovan Solano is a Better Fit than you Might Think.

As you have likely seen at this point, the Twins signed Infielder Donovan Solano to a 1 year, $2 million dollar deal. When you first look at this deal, you may have thought that Solano is a similar role to Kyle Farmer and seems to be redundant. While there may be some overlap, I think there are a few reasons where both guys still get a good amount of at bats this year, especially against lefties.  So let's compare Solano to a few other guys that I saw many people mention as targets for the

Is Joey Gallo a sneaky good pick-up, or is he just another Miguel Sano?

I would bet most of you had a similar thought to me when you saw the Twins signed Joey Gallo to a 1 year, $11 million deal for 2023... That thought being "Max Kepler must be getting traded." While that hasn't materialized, a few other moves have that have led to the Twins holding onto Kepler as their starting Right Fielder, as of now.  Max Kepler is still a productive player, and projects to have a solid enough year this year as well. ZiPs projects Kepler to have a slash line of .231/.320/.

Twins 2023 Roster Projection

What does signing Carlos Correa do to the Twins roster in 2023 and going forward? It's safe to say he improves the roster, as Carlos Correa is projected for 4.9 WAR according to his Steamer Projection for 2023. In comparison, Kyle Farmer is projected for 0.9 WAR by the same projection. This shows that Correa is a significant upgrade over not having him as the starting Shortstop in 2023.  Now that we know that, what does the rest of the roster construction look like if Opening Day were tomor

It Happened!

Per Reports, the Twins have signed Carlos Correa to a 6 year, $200 million deal. The deal includes vesting options.    502 plate appearances in year 6 - $25 million dollars for year 7.  Total value can increase to $245 million if an 8th year happens.    This is per Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic and Jeff Passan of ESPN.    Reminder - This is pending a physical.    What do people think?

Potential Under the Radar Trade Targets to Upgrade the Rotation

First, I want to start out by saying thank you for reading. This is my first attempt at writing here and I hope you all enjoy this topic.    I’m going to break down 5 possible trade targets for the Twins to upgrade the rotation. Some are better than others, but that means what you give up changes for them. I am sticking to what the front office could realistically do, so I am not going to bring up a guy like Max Scherzer or Shohei Ohtani (even though I would love for him to be a Twin).
