You'll have to enter my garage to find out. 

Not to denigrate your garage, but i'd rather just see Ryan play for the Twins, and evaluate it by simile, as it were? Which i guess was the original point...

I guess i wandered off topic.

 

I am sad the player we acquire for Correa didn't pan out. It would be fun following the effects of that trade on later player exchanges down the years, much like the Pierzynski trade. Speaking of which, i should probably watch more post season baseball with his commentary...

The fact that a player like this is making news on this site says everything you need to know about the current state of this organization.

Time to face the music. If Lee is the starting shortstop in 2026, Fitzgerald is the backup and behind him is this guy. then it's pretty crystal clear there's no hope for 2026 and if you are thinking differently, you're drinking too much Kool-Aid.

Doesn’t Culpepper figure in somewhere??

Claiming a utilityman from the Pirates..... The Minnesota Twins... where new depths are achieved every day!

Wasn't there just an article written that compared these 2 clubs?

Better than Gasper 

Kreidler has an OPS of .383 and fielding average of .974; Gasper has an OPS of .445 and fielding average of .982.

Try again, but I hope Kreidler is given a good shot.

Twins Claim Versatile Ryan Kreidler, Make More Minor Moves

More minor?  I don't think it's humanly possible to make a more minor move than claiming Kreidler.

Wow! That is rough. The Twins have one player in their system that has better than an FV55/55 for defense in center fielder Rodriguez. There were just seven shortstops in the minor leagues with an FV55/55 for defense according to Fangraphs 2025 update. That was Kreidler’s level in his last prospect report in 2023.  I think more minor moves can and will be made.

Rough?

Certainly not a hill I plan to die on, a good-field no-bat player joining the franchise.  I was mainly noting that the headline could be read two ways.

Was referring to batting average

They are really making a mistake not re-signing Noah Davis.
