    Sad state of affairs - I think The Twins' backup catcher might be their best infielder.

    Ugh. I don't recall a time when the Twins employed a more pathetic group of pinch hitters than Kreidler, Outman, Clemens. Punto and Celestino are Babe Ruth compared to this bench.

    I think a bigger red flag is his career minor league OPS, which is .772. Also, he worked hard through two knee surgeries to make the majors, he's not 'mentally fragile'.

    I think there's a spot for either E-Rod (not mentioned here) or Roden to start the year, even with Martin and Larnach on the roster. It would add some excitement. Outman isn't needed. Agreed that Arcia probably has a slight edge at SS right now but as ohters have said, hopefully something better pops up.
  25. DannySD
    I feel like Morris will be a bulk reliever on the shuttle most of the year, and the projected bullpen doesn't really have any of those guys. If they want a long reliever on opening day, I can see him starting the year with the Twins.
  26. DannySD
    If they really made an offer on Valdez, maybe they have money for a Joe Ryan extension. Prospects are always a crapshoot. Without much money on the books going forward, it's time to start thinking about keeping some good players. I also agree with the yesterday's article -- the Lopez injury makes us more likely to contend in 2027.
  27. DannySD
    He had that nasty head-to-head with Correa in May, and the Twins were mostly out of contention after that, I'm willing to assume he took a little off his closing to stay healthy. I think his numbers this year will determine if he has another year or two in center.
  28. DannySD
    I think coaching staff changes should be part of the grade. If so, it improves a little.
  29. DannySD
    I'm wondering if the timing has to do with the Athletic's low rating of the farm system...
  30. DannySD
    If national prognosticators view the Twins as an 82 win team, it's likely because: they are in the AL Central, have decent starters, a history of turning AAAA starters into a servicable bullpen, and a rep for acquiring value players - often unexpected and/or late in FA (Correa, Cruz, Maeda, Santana, Bader, etc)
  31. DannySD
    I think the July 'roster teardown' is overblown. They really only traded Duran, Jax, Varland. Everyone else was either a FA or had negative value. No reason for a near-elite bullpen without any leads to hold. I'd rather have some high-end prospects and #3 pick.
  32. DannySD
    If 'what's next' is trading Jeffers, they don't want to compete. If 'what's next' is finding a vet closer and a backup SS who isn't a black hole on offense, then maybe they do.
  33. DannySD
    I have E-Rod penciled into my opening day lineup. He can back up CF, and I don't see any reason for this team to keep Larnach around.
  34. DannySD
    Statistically, Wagaman has less thump than Ryan Fitzgerald.
  35. DannySD
    Since guessing is fun: 1. Hill 2. 2026 #3 overall pick 3. Tait 4. Gonzalez 5. Rojas
