    There isn't really anyone who needs to be protected from the Rule 5, and I doubt FA will happen until after a lockout, so I'd guess most of the fringe pitchers will stick around for now.
  2. DannySD
    Between Lewis, Larnach, and Bell, there may be room for one of them in 2027. I'd take Bell personally.
  3. DannySD
    I'm not sure he has much trade value right now. Contenders will see him as unplayable after July.
  4. DannySD
    This is the biggest coin flip of the offseason I think. A team that wants to contend needs around nine starters to get through the season, and a few of them can be guys like Ober, but he'll have to be in long relief when all the other starters are healthy.
  5. DannySD
    Kremer 100%. Banda 80%. Lewis 20%.
  6. DannySD
    Sign a FA 2B, move Keashall to 1B where he could be really good, rotate DH between Buxton and others instead of a full time non-defensive player - so they can have options like Clemens-Martin-Kreidler on the bench. When Houston is ready, Lee becomes situational. That solves the defense's biggest problems, but Catcher is still interesting. They may have to wait for Lackey if they want defense back there.
  7. DannySD
    Ober is 55th in WAR among MLB pitchers over the last 5 years. A lot of complaining for a guy who's been better than most teams' #3 starter. He's not always good, but valuable when he is, he probably deserves another year.

    St. Paul on a minor league deal
  9. DannySD
    If he played any defense, I'd say yes. He's obviously valuable in the lineup, leading the team in RBI and always seems to be in the middle of it when they're scoring. But I agree that Buxton and Keashall (and possibly Jeffers or Larnach) might warrant a bunch of DH time, so I think it would be best to pass on Bell.
  10. DannySD
    Someone has to set the market.
  11. DannySD
    With all the young players and current catching pipeline, they can easily afford a 4 or 5 year market-rate extension for Jeffers.
  12. DannySD
    I think Keashall is a strong possibility.
  13. DannySD
    Sure, why not? Salas is a year younger than Lackey and just debuted for the Padres. As long as Lackey learns the Twins system and keeps hitting a little, a Sept 2027 callup seems reasonable.
  14. DannySD
    The trades they made weren't the problem, they will mostly help next year. The problem is what they didn't do. No surprise that a team with 3 catchers, sketchy defense, and no bench versatililty is losing games late.
  15. DannySD
    Overall, I'd say a D. I feel like playing with 3 catchers and a full time DH for a month is going to be too tough to overcome for a playoff spot
  16. DannySD
    I like Peralta as a wild card/change of scenery candidate. He's having a down year, but a former ace who could win playoff games, so not sure what he's worth... Tait? Hill? Rojas+?
  17. DannySD
    They pretty much have to trade either Jeffers or Jackson. Can't go the year with 3 active catchers, don't want to lose them for nothing. Agreed that Bell will stay and I think they'll mostly keep the team together otherwise, maybe trade Wallner, Martin.
  18. DannySD
    With Lewis at 2B and Lee as backup SS as you suggest, the defense would suffer too much. They've prioritized D lately, so there's no way this happens. Royce's personailty and defensive chops are best suited for 1B.
  19. DannySD
    Welcome, Go. (feels weird saying that)
  20. DannySD
    I wonder if all contenders have four relievers I don't trust with a seven run lead
  21. DannySD
    Sad state of affairs - I think The Twins' backup catcher might be their best infielder.
  22. DannySD
    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.
  23. DannySD
    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'.
  24. DannySD
    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.
