    My favorite part has to be "The Twins probably have to pay for their own sunflower seeds." Thanks for the laugh, Stu

    This is one of those if they had or had not senecios. Would they have won as many games those seasons? Would they have been better off putting the payroll elsewhere? What about who was drafted during that time? 30 mil a season isn't just about want that player does

    Grats to Morris! Hopefully your 1st and only call up. Hoping for Laweryson's strain turns out to be a mild issue or a nothing issue. As for Kreidler... I'd like to see him starting at SS with Lee at 3rd. No one's been hitting (in those spots) much before so improved defense and not hitting seem like a marginal improvement....

    I'm not ready to compare Jenkins to any previous Twin yet. The injury bug has made it too volatile to really think about. Maybe by midseason I will get there. Just hoping for good health and productive seasons from most of the Twins Daily top 10. That'll make August 4th more exciting.

    I appreciate the optimism! BUT There was a lot of enough's in the piece for me to add one more. If healthy enough. It's been the Twins curse for what now?? The last 3 seasons??

    I'm not a huge Larnach fan but what is with this trade him asap thing. I don't want Outman as our LH DH..He'll (Larnach) likely will produce 20 or more HR's and 60+ RBI's. We have what 1-2 others that look like they will do that? Profar is down. Shame on him. Outmans available reasonably...Braves...

    Well...Adel has looked good... end of post...

    I get it but the WBC makes this spring training a bit different the last one. Everything seem to be year by year in MLB lately, so it seems fair to limit to that now. He is expected to be part of the OF mix. Although your article may have legs, I think it is likely a bit early for it. In a few years sure

    Fair enough. I would say, in my defense, the game was played a lot differently in 2004 then it is today. Comparing a players AA stats to a hall of famer can be a little misleading. Let's let him earn that top 15 rank not hand it to him because we want that to be true.

    By that you mean before he faced the Yankees today? 😜 I see a lot about Mendez in previous posts. I'm a fan of him as well. BUT He's way too much of a ground ball hitter right now. The whispers about a move to 1B gives him some helium but I think just inside the top 20 is a fair assessment until he proves to be the 1B of the future or starts lifting the ball more. Preferibly both. Most of these players have their warts so mostly projection and where they were drafted. Seems like a fair location on the top 20 list

    I have high hopes for Rojas. That being said, trading for a guy that seems to be being pushed is a pause sign to me. They still traded for him but with very little track record in the top tier of Mlib. One of the many you hope will work out but shouldn't plan on it.

    I'm not buying Tom's BS. He's trying to play 3 card Monte with the fans. Pablo being lost for this season and a big part of next season is a HUGE loose. Can the young guy's collectively equal Pablo's War (or whatever measure you prefer) sure. Why not? Will they? They play the games for a reason. Still not buying tickets...But will be in the area Labor Day weekend. Make me want to see a game then Twins.

    Man, what a terrible way to start the spring training... hate to say it but I'm sure a few others are thinking/saying it. A couple more injuries and we're looking at a tough fight for 70 wins if we weren't already. Play the kids instead of bringing in some cooked vet. Rooting for a quick and full recovery for Pablo. One of my favorite Twins.
  14. weitz41
    Every now and then even a blind squirrel finds a nut. This could be the Twins year.
  15. weitz41
    After further review... 2x better is closer to fair. Way deeper farm, A good starting pitching staff and 11 less losses the last season.
  16. weitz41
    What happen to the Minnesota Nice??? Honestly, I think we were lucky to have had Falvey and Levine. The whole organization is 10x better now than when they came onboard. I don't think anyone can argue that that isn't true. I'm sure a few will try... Another Terry Ryan 2.0 anyone? I sure miss Bill Smith and his great moves. This whole fiasco we're watching this offseason was started with the "right sizing of payroll" and was bound to end this way. A continued sell off at this point was the only realistic way to reset and try again. That doesn't get renewed season ticket holders. Who's investing 1/2 a billion dollars to see they're shares worth less in 3 months? So yeah, we're trying to win the division...

    I like our catching and starting pitching. Too bad best parts of that will be elsewhere on August 4th. The OF is frustrating to look at. I'm a big Buxton fan...BUT 2 100+ game seasons in a row is about as likely as two winning Powerball tickets in a row. After that we have guys who can't hit or turn into pumpkins if a lefty is one the mound. No need to dig into the BP as long as Tom Pohlad wants to get off this payroll conversation... Should be an interesting 2nd half. Hopefully I've heard of 50% of the players on the team.
  18. weitz41
    My 2 cents: We'll find out what the disagreement (if there was one) was about soon. If Zoll trades away a bunch of guys before the season starts...Yep...Go big or go home Tom wants scorched earth. If not Falvey wanted more $ to try and compete. In the end, the rollercoaster of Donaldson, Correa, Pablo's extension and Buxton's extension too two offseasons of reducing payroll by 25-30% There is bound to be some exasperation on both sides and probably best for all to have a reset. US fans included...

    opens up a 40-man spot for?? Framber Valdez!!! OK ok...prospects to SD for Fernando Tatis. or maybe a FA reliver. I'm going with Tatis
  20. weitz41
    I find it hard to give a lot of weight to his numbers from the 2025 season. 1st he wasn't the starting SS until Correa was traded. Second the only position player that didn't look like a failed prospect was Keaschall. Lee, Lewis, Wallner, Julien and Maranda could have the same article written about them. More of less copy, replace name and paste. Keaschall is a rough 100 games from getting one of these articles himself... I'd save this sort of article for when he or they have 1000-1500 Ab and 300-400 games played. But that would mean more trade X for Z and those of late have been getting a 9/1 negative response. So maybe it's just writer reaction to the mood on this site.

    Getting late in the OS. I'd guess 5 mil on a 1-year deal would do it. I'd like Festa there as well but 1/2 season in the set-up roll seems like a smart move. After the Aug 1st sell off then slide him into the closer roll. Assuming things go that way
  22. weitz41
    Kopech plz. He has closer upside and Stewart injury risk which fits the FO's MO on free agent pitchers. Then fill in with guys that don't make the rotation that can be optioned.
  23. weitz41
    I may be a little more tempered with any prospect that rolls through A+ and does well in AA. It's not personal to Culpepper. We've just had to many Miranda's or Julien's oh late. WAY to high of expectations for anyone to may be able to fulfill. People seem to think Lee is a wash because he didn't have and OPS+ or a DRS they like in his 1st full season. Check Buxton's OPS+ maybe Kent Hrbek's DPS for their 1st 400 Ab's. Just relax their 1st 400 ab may not determine their career. Sure, I want Culpepper to be a rookie of the year candidate. But I'd settle for a Twins Hall of Fame candidate. ;) Or just a good player that gets to Minn when he's ready
  24. weitz41
    Kind of confusing move. Must be planning on Jackson getting thru waivers, sticking around and stashed in AAA. As for a trade. Like others have said wouldn't they have traded Jeffers 1st? So, seems unlikely to me. I'd say this is a slight upgrade over last season's duo. Which is the 1st time this offseason I've thought that about the team...
  25. weitz41
    I say heck yeah put him in the pen. That way by August 1st he should be settled into his MLB routine and ready to take over one of the starter spots that will be open.
