    To me the starters are a bigger issue then the BP at this point. No, the BP isn't the Royals 2015 BP. It's gone from disaster to we can do this. Credit should go to LaTroy and maybe even Maki. A lot of great work there between the players and the coaches. To get to the article. How much are you willing to invest in this (really) small chance to medium chance to get into the playoffs and beyond? I'm limiting to not the top 15 prospects if it's a rental player. Pick your site you prefer for rankings. Ray count me in. Would be a great add. Cy Young winner and leftie. Yes plz. For some reason I like much cheaper options for my second starter add. Singer, Springs and maybe May. Prielipp or Matthews to the BP. If any more injuries one of them takes that spot the other fills the BP opening. One last thing. the Twins need the #5-#6 guy in the line up to hit a 6th-7th inning 2-3 run homer. Georger Springer would fit that well. He can handle LF in a playoff game...maybe...

    I'm guessing you aren't going to hold it against the person pouring your drink(s)?

    I'd settle for Hunter Green But if I have to limit it to reasonable chances of getting... Any of Mize, Ray, Gausman and Peralta would be my. YES! Singer, Springs or Mahle would be my polite hand clap...

    I like the pickup. If I have any complaint, it's that it feels like minor overpay. Amick is/was an interesting prospect for the Twins. He likely would have ended up at 1b which isn't a bad thing with how many homegrown 1st basemen the Twins had had lately. I think Winokur and maybe Young are going to be the 3rd basemen of the future. Agbayani is a high-end lottery ticket. IMO. Which is kind where I feel the overpay is. All in all, I like the trade.
  5. weitz41
    Great trade. Now add Hoffman and a starter. Maybe a RH bat and see what happens.
  6. weitz41
    Is now a good time to check todays scores?
  7. weitz41
    Well, SchNikes...He would have been a nice boost to the BP. Better now the August 30th, I guess?

    1st off I don't want to jinx it...but...The DP has been pretty dang good for a month now. I'd say they need to get a rental starter and a RH DP arm. Ray, Gausman or Rogers on the top end. Singer to maybe even Springs on the low end. Not looking for a no hitter here, just a 4.00 era and 60+ innings. I really don't want to part with any top 20 prospects for a 30% chance at a WC. Singer or Springs would be my preferred. Then I'd move Prielipp to the BP. 100-110 innings should be his max for the season. We need him next year as much or more then this season. I'd like to think in one inning Prielipp would land in the second tier. RH RP idk really who. I'd love to get Hoffman from Toronto. He would cost a bit in prospects. As for the Gray call up. It is, to me, one of those...there has to be more to it...My out of left field guess is once Emma finishes rehab he'll get the call and Gray with head back to St. Paul. Buxton hip is becoming a chronic issue, and Emma is a good CF. Just caught the walk off by Clemens! Go Twins!

    So, the Twins need to win the division or take 2nd place to maybe make the playoffs. Not all that much different than before
  10. weitz41
    I'm not certain that guy said FUN Leviathan..
  11. weitz41
    Look at it as a bridge to 2028 and HOPEfully Quick, Hall and Soto being ready to join the SP staff.
  12. weitz41
    Seattle, they're willing to move SP for bats. So do dice. Pardes. They're prospects don't fit the Twins needs today and likely next season. I'd take a not under water contract to make that happen. Tatis plus an arm or two. But not going to happen The Yankees are likely putting Warren in the BP because of too many starters. No chance. I think it's unlikely, but the Dodgers are my target. They really don't need to do anything. Just wait for guys to get healthy. So, I'll take a shot at Joe Ryan for Sirota, River Ryan and Jackson Ferris. We need one of the two pitchers to take on Ryans innings.

    Well, someone had to go for the soft spot in Twins fandom....PAYROLL... I do like your argument Sam. I just think that savings is more a moot point than anything else. For me it's the lack of reinvestment that makes cutting payroll thoughts so toxic. Outside of Skubal, there's not many difference makers in the 2027 free agent market. There's a good starter or two and plenty of better BP arms. I highly doubt 10 mil or more in 2027 saved will affect the Twins free agent signings for 2027. It's just been an odd season. The AL East isn't really all that dominate, The AL West teams may be worse than the AL centrals. The Red Sox and Tigers look like they've woke up. It's just not the time to waste recourses on a chance at 83 wins. I'm for most of the trades you suggest. I'd hold onto Royce. Trade the rentals. They might fetch a BP arm or two for 2027. Ryan only if it's 2 top 100 prospects plus. Promote some of the AAA guys. Play it out, they could still make the playoffs. 2027 be in it for a WC, 2028 be in it for the division.

    Twins offence last night..
  15. weitz41
    Why? It's not like we have someone knocking on the door to play 1b. he's got what? 1 1/2 months playing that spot. Way way too early to judge if that is the right spot for him. Most teams are looking for RH bats with power. AH, a recent post has us looking at RH OF's. On top of that his trade value is down and we'd then need more RH bats and 1B if they did trade him. Hold...better days are coming for Royce and the Twins for that matter.
  16. weitz41
    What the Twins actually need is a starter (Emerson Hancock) a 7-8 inning BP arm (A.J Minter) and Isidor's Bane (Lord of the Rings ref) or instead on the one ring...A dump truck full of good luck. Thomas would be a nice add though.
  17. weitz41
    I'm for adding to it (prospects) at the current deadline. There's 2-3 (maybe more) that likely will be on the Twins 26-man roster by the next deadline. A few pitchers who may be starters or good BP arms and a couple of corner IF that slug and if could be a fun run.
  18. weitz41
    These guys are like that X girlfriend that dumped you then calls or texts every once in a while...There's a chance. Wait no way...AGAIN!. radio silence...You tease Twins... Anyway, great win. Now to take care of bizness with two struggling clubs coming to Target field. Make Tom and Jeremy sweat the deadline!
  19. weitz41
    The current top 15 looks like by far the best I've seen in a long long time. Most are in AA or higher and the ones that aren't have big upside. I realize some won't work out. But there is a lot of quality and quantity.
  20. weitz41
    I'm not there yet but am leaning that way as well. To many hits on pitchers counts and homer issues same as Varland. He just needs a little more of something. 🤷‍♂️ More ride or rise on his FB? More deception in his delivery? Just middle middle and way too often. 🤷‍♂️ BP may be the answer, may also make him a what could have been.
  21. weitz41
    Wallner is the next Rooker only LH. IMO. The Twins don't have a spot for a full-time DH with Buxton likely needing that spot on the roster. Yes, I know about Bell. Most AAA players see at least a .100-.150 point drop in their ops when coming to the majors. Jenkins .846 OPS says to me not quite ready yet. Close but not yet
  22. weitz41
    I agree. But then I look at the other one's minor league career numbers and say maybe he is the right guy till E Rod can manage to get and stay healthy. Wallner has a better OPS but the SO rate...well yeah.
  23. weitz41
    Isn't about where his in now? Don't get me wrong. I'm a little skeptical about Roden as well. But don't forget there is/was Larnach, Wallner, Martin and technically still Keacshall and Clemens. Between him and a 26-man spot. That's a lot of hurdles and yet here he is an old man at 26 and on the team.
  24. weitz41
    The poor corpse of the Varland trade..I mean, can we kick that damn horse a few more times? Varland was a borderline set up guy in the 2025 pen. Jax was always the 1st choice to bridge to Duran. Is the Bluejays BP coach on the Twins staff this year and last year to get him to where he is now? There are so many variables to players having success. CAN we please move on. Roden has 21 AB in MLB this season. Rojas has pitched a total of 19.1 MLB innings this season. Abel 20.1 innings in MLB. Outman is a part of the fire sale? Stewart has managed what? 20 innings since the trade? If you can't move on there's a gallon of sour milk in the fridge, help yourself....
  25. weitz41
    I'm firmly in the don't waste the prospects column for this season. But I too have the itch to hope they try and go for it. Just in a much smaller way then 2 of the 3 you mentioned. Luis Garcia would be a nice add to the team. I don't think I'd part with GG for him but Gallager and say Rosario or DeBarge. A little buy and a little sell is probably the best way to go this season. IMO
