I'm going with this one from Rotowire since the TD page one from yesterday didn't seem to format well.  It looks like from here that everyone but SWR would be available.  Maybe not Rojas if they have a specific plan for him.

That first half……. First half is 65% of baseball and the other half is…….

Looking good MR Ryan,  Twins need to go back to bringing a talented  player to the majors , used to do it quite a bit but now its all about service time and money,   other teams r doing alot of it ,  gotta take chances ,  A.A.A  is the worse place to develop players,   Hrbek  class A   KIRBY A.A. 

Baseball has changed quite a bit in the last 2-4 decades. There are fewer teams and less leagues. The money is huge so organizations are understandably careful. There are so many differences that comparisons are too difficult. The best players still rocket up through the minors. Konnor Griffin was 19 on Opening Day.

That would be an acceptable outcome.

You are kind of making my point for me, I know he has things to work on, but if you say mid June, how much can truly be improved in two weeks.   

A ton.

Just wondering which one of our 11 proven closers are gonna finish it after Joe goes 8

Routine fly ball out and he has to do a little bunny hop. Dude is annoying AF.

Once I was 19 on opening day.  Wasn't on a roster....

Royce hit by a pitch in AAA. Seems to be fine and stayed in the game to run. 

[Patzky]

Wow poor Tigers coughed up a five spot to the Angels in the ninth. They are really scuffing. Bless you boys is crucifying Wenceel Perez.

BURKE  HAS NEVER WENT 5 COMPLETE,    MORE ON THE TWINS BATS THAN HIM

Garcia did accept his assignment to St Paul after being DFA'd so there are replacements waiting in the wings.

For sure. Calories in and calories out no matter what you eat. If you’re obese and want to lose 50+ lbs that’s where Ozempic can come in handy. As far as I know, they become lifetime drugs to continue taking or else you’re at risk of adding on the weight quickly. Didn’t like that. I don’t need another monthly subscription when I can just choose to eat smaller portions. 

I only need to eat once a day, now. The older I get, the less food I need. Habitats are hard to change, but worth it. I don’t begrudge any avenue one uses to get there meat sack they live in under control. A couple of my nieces used them for two years, weaned the dose to none, changed there lifestyle and maintained since. But my sister in-law, their mother, gained weight on them! It seemed to be her ticket to eat more!

He's aiming to maybe get himself drilled at some upcoming at-bat in the not too distant future. 

Not that I'm advocating it.

[RpR]

I voted for Ryan as player of the game, hopefully not a jinx.

It's hard to have sympathy for the Tigers, but they have really disappointed this season. 21-33 and last place in the AL central is a hard pill to swallow for Tigers fans expecting big things this year. I think they will eventually recover to some degree, but they have definitely dug themselves a big hole being 9.5 back of Cleveland already.

Sounds like us late last season.

Was riffing on the halves (which weren’t halves. 65/35).
 

So just have Joe start each season in May? Maybe June to power through an extended postseason. This is a new year.

So he will learn to lay off pitcher's pitches in those two weeks and it will never happen when he gets up here.  That is just one extreme example based on your comment earlier.  Again no prospect as a finished product.  If I am going to see Gray out at SS, I would rather see Culpepper up here learning what it takes to be successful in the major leagues.  That is a pretty low bar to meet for performance.

[Twindy]

Hope Joe doesn’t come unglued here

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Tying run on...

Excitement mounts.

[krink]

What did they see that confirmed hit by pitch there?!

[Western SD Fan]

That likely kills Ryan's chances of completing the game.  I'm not sure he comes out for the 8th unless there's a batter they think he can get.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

3 extra pitches.

Coulda been worse.

Call stands not confirmed.  I'm not sure what they couldn't see.

[ziggy]

The Joe Ryan Experience is must watch TV.

I think that is called Spring Training.
