    Pablo has been as good or better than advertised so far Which has been great, it is a long season though, adjusts will be made by the league and the Twins. That being said if the velo increase sticks the results shouldn't change all that much. As a fantasy baseball guy, I've had Pablo on one of my teams for a couple years now. He generally starts strong and fades in August and September. But if that means he is what he was last year to start the season velo wise, in August and September, he could have a really nice season. The sweeper has been an impressive pitch so far. Paired with his increase velo and an elite changeup it hopefully is a long season for anyone who swings a bat against him.

    Anyone who made it through middle school with the name Zebby I have to root for. Schuffield is swinging a good bat. Too early to get to up or down on anything though. Let's get a sweep to today at Target Field! I may overreact to that if it happens.

    (insert Stu's Satire warning here) But how can we complain about the line up, this hitter, that guy or pulling a pitcher with only 85 pitches if we look at it as a marathon instead of a sprint? (end warning)

    It could also be said that if they do well in the next 19 games (+.500) it could be a big confidence boost for the team.

    Sabato..There's a spot for a RH power bat on the Twins roster if he can find his way back to something closer to his college K rate and OBPs. Plus it might be a make or break season for him and a 40 man spot. Yake and Shuffield are none top 30 guys I'll be watching along with the some of last years DSL players.

    Seems like a win win trade to me. If Mahle has a good season and gets a qualifying offer from the Twins. Whether he takes it or not I would lean the Twins way.

    I'm about a 20 min drive from the Brewer A+ team stadium and was planning on going to a game or two of the the Kernels vs Timber Rattlers series. Now I'm even more determined.

    I'm guessing Farmer will leadoff against lefties. Probably Kepler against right handers until Polanco come back. Maybe Lewis and/or Julien leading off by the end of the season

    I missed the game...I like the box score though. Duran hopefully set for tomorrow, Pagan as well. 1st place all by ourself!
  10. weitz41
    Boy of Boy is this one going to get a range of responses...You may as well post something positive about Pagan next. 1st off if Popkins can turn Gallo into a .240 average hitter with an under 30% k rate guy, he should be the manager! 2nd I hated this signing BUT can see why they did it..I don't agree with it..But I get it. Also, I think it creates roadblocks for both Larnach and Julien. For those who say Julien hasn't played above AA. If I remember correctly neither did Kepler. One final thought. A contending team IMO signs Gallo. A team in limbo doesn't.. I don't have to like everything the FO does, to still support the players.

    Burnes 87 pitches over 5 innings McClanahan 87 over 6 Scherzer 91 over 6 Valdez 85 over 5 Cease 86 over 6.1 Pablo Lopez 85 pitches over 5.1.. Hmmm... Seems inline with the vast majority of baseball on a season opening game. I think we need for forget about Archer and Bundy starts for 2022. It's 2023 folks.
  12. weitz41
    Wow, putting he who shall not be named on the list is a gutsy move.
  13. weitz41
    I try and get a couple of Twins on my fantasy teams. Makes it even better when the Twins and my teams do well. I agree with most your picks. Tyler from Oregon has some good picks as well.
  14. weitz41
    This is where I'm at on this. Depth, flexibility and defense is what the FO did this offseason. Neither Coulombe or Hoffman are optionable and have minimal upside. Pagan, Pagan, PAGAN! is this seasons "Cheap Pohlad's"...
  15. weitz41
    I expect we'll get more length out of our starters this season. But I don't expect it to be a huge amount more. As for last seasons rotation. IMO the FO got caught flat-footed before the lock out. It was a rather unique situation and I'm sure our FO wasn't the only ones who were surprised or unprepared for all the signings before the lock out. Which lead to a rotation that had Bundy as our #4 and Archer as our #5 starters. Bundys #'s are about what you'd expect for a #5 or #6 starter and about on par with his career averages. The Archer situation just seemed like it was bound to fail. Pitch count, innings limit, time through the order and then throw in loosing the Wes Johnson at the end of June. This also lead to CC4 being on the team for the next 6-10 seasons.

    Hilarious! Except the part about me sitting in my car..The engine was running..

    The balanced schedule and the Twins offence make me think 90+ wins is a stretch and probably is for any AL central team. I think the Twins take the division with 86-88 wins. There is quality depth at every position + guys like Lewis, Julien and Paddack possibly joining the team in the second half. I don't see Cleveland having literally no injuries and Chicago have as many. 84-86 wins for both of them. I think Detroit will be better then expected. Just about every one of their players had one of worst seasons of their career last year. 75ish wins. Royals have 4-5 veteran's and a AAA team 68 wins. There's some really good young players on this team. In a couple seasons this team I think will be in the top 2. Just need some seasoning.
  18. weitz41
    I have to believe the Twins will have a much better season injuries wise in 2023. If I remember correctly at one point we had 18 guys on the IL. Before the 2022 injuries really started to wear done the Twins they were on pace for 90ish wins. The 2023 team is much better in both quality and quantity. I'm expecting a rebound by the Sox and some regression for the Guardians. 89-73 Twins 87-75 Sox 86-76 Guardians

    With all the teeth grinding over Pagan I'm going to go out on a limb and say he will be our top setup man by seasons end. The BP has plenty of ?'s but so does the rest of the team. Not everything is going to break right but I feel the BP one of the lesser worries this season.
  20. weitz41
    It's March 20th right? Not July 20th? So these games don't count? If it was July 20th would any of these guys be on the IL? Maybe Polanco..It's not like these are Edwin Diaz or Altuve's injuries. RELAX it's March 20th.
  21. weitz41
    I'm optimistic about the season ahead. I like the new uniforms and like others don't care for the caps. Most of the moves this offseason I am happy about. I don't like the lack of roster space for the slew of young players blocked but that will likely sort itself out. MAYBE the new uni's will help break the playoff curse!
  22. weitz41
    Does caution matter? Does writing fragile on a package matter? I'd say no to both, but I feel better even if the package falls off the truck, conveyer and cart on it's way to it destination.
  23. weitz41
    If a before the end of spring training extension, probably Mahle is the one. He'll want 5+ years, the FO will want 3. So something in the 4-6 year range at $20-$25 mil AAV should get it done. If no spring training extensions, Mahle and Gray will get QO's, turn them down and sign elsewhere. Maeda I could see resigning after a healthy season, but not extending before the season. In my opinion, extending one of Mahle or Gray is a wise more. Then try to do the same with Lopez and Ryan. Having some consistency in the starting 5 is what good/great teams have, not revolving doors.
  24. weitz41
    It would seem like a wise move for the team and Duran. There is plenty of risk and reward on both sides. If the money being throw around this offseason continues, it would be a bargain for an average relief pitcher in a few years.
  25. weitz41
    Brent Headrick is already on the 40 man and pitched well so far, Ober, Dobs or Varland. I think a long relief pitcher makes some sense. Probably who doesn't make the roster to make that happen would make a difference on yes or no
