  1. No disrespect but you are hoping beyond hope. If Wallner plays another game as a Twin it will be one too many. A few on here took shots from fierce analytics folks early in the year for comparing him to Joey Gallo, and while getting much pushback from those claiming he was a top 5 RF'r, I now feel I owe Gallo an apology.. it would have been a good story, it didn't work. and while he flamed out, he made it much further than the rest of us, so he did well and lived the dream. Royce simply has to be next.
  2. 💯 agree but I'd say if not injuries it 'should' be done not would have been done. They holding on very tight to Royce and Matt and giving a very long leash. Possibly they know 2026 is lost, so focusing on development - which I don't disagree with
  3. True. If the twins go that route start playing KC at 2nd or 3rd now. Let Brooks keep cutting his teeth in MLB until Houston arrives. Ultimately Houston is the shortstop with KC and Brooks taking 2nd and 3rd.. Not sure what you do with Keaschall. Still think Amick will have a say in things somewhere on the field in 2yrs.
  4. You wouldn't have done the Bader deal? And from previous post, you would have preferred to be paying a full Correa salary? If so I respectfully disagree
  5. good article, thanks! Clearly the walks need improvement. I'm guessing not completely abnormal for a 20.5 yr old in high A that was drafted at 165 lbs. it doesn't mean he will solve it but I got tired of the polished Stephen Golsalves types a while ago (also 6'5 lefty polished at 20 and went 13-3 with a 2.01 ERA in age 20 season - but threw about 87 MPH). Once he got to the big leagues it didn't work, it was never gonna work and he was never to be heard from again. hoping Dasan can grow into his body and get control because 6'5 lefty's throwing 100 interest me
  6. I cannot stand the 'he's one of us bias'.... but I'm probably being obtuse. There probably is value to bringing your kid to a game and saying 'if Louis, or Matt can do it, so can you.' i like prospects so i like Rojas. And we weren't winning this year anyway. So why not go young. But I 💯 get your point on Varland.
  7. .... which in all fairness, he did. So why wouldn't he think he could again? regarding Correa.... he is out. He is not helping the twins, or the Astros. Rather than paying full price for nothing, Houston took a good deal of the burden. To me, that's a win. Now the reinvestment of that saving, maybe not so much....
  8. Royce has a lot of work to do. He genuinely looks uncomfortable and over-matched. I'm sure he gets the year and why not. I hope he can turn it around. Seems like a good kid. ps.... personally think Houston is the future at short if not Brooks
  9. Yea all the criticism surprised me to. Geez. The OP throws an advanced metric out and everyone piles on. im not entirely sure what OAA is or how it's calculated. But comparatively to Correa, who had good range and cannon, I'm curious what Carlos' was last year. Brooks is progressing just fine. There are others who deserve the strong critiques
  10. Well if he's anything like Delmon I'm not sure I want him in the outfield. :) I don't see an issue with him cutting his teeth at the toughest position then moving. At Winokurs age though I would think a move makes sense. But what do I know.
  11. He's 6'6, growing into his body and just turned 19. Will he be Ozzie Smith? No. Will he stick at short? Doubtful bit you may want to let it bake a bit longer....
