  1. I remember multiple writers on here saying how irresponsible the signing of Caritini was because we already had Jackson. Both have worked out great and I am good with both of them being back next year.
  2. We have too many average bats in Minneapolis and St Paul. Fedko is an easy swap out right now for Roden. Jeffers should be called up shortly and they can't move Jackson without risk of losing him on wakvers and we will need him when Jeffers is traded in a few weeks.
  3. If you have trouble throwing strikes in St Paul, a promotion to the bigs isn't going to help.
  4. After seeing these boxscores the last month, we need to invest heavily in pitching in the upcoming draft! Outside of 1-2 arms, there isn't much to get excited about
  5. Ryan needs to be moved with some high end arms coming back. The BP is not a 1 month fix, it will take into next year to find 4 more reliable arms. The only ones I count on for 2027 are Gomes, Raya, Sands, Orze and maybe Funderburk. Maybe Paredes can be a every 2nd day, 2-3 innings guy.
  6. Give us Carlos Lagrange and Henry Lalane and they can have him. Both are 6'7" hard throwers, Carlos having the higher upside
  7. Better thought on Brooks is what he could be if he didnt play any games at Target Field. His splits this year are simply dreadful! Home 170 BA, 270 SLG and a 495 OPS. On the road he is 307/586/952 with 9 of his 13 HRs. Target Field has been known as a good hitters park, so this is really surprising
  8. I would be satisfied heading into 2027 with Caratini and Jackson as our C tandem. Anyone familiar with Culpepper's repertoire? Hard thrower? What is his out pitch?
  9. My thoughts exactly! If we had a MLB worthy bullpen, this team is way ahead in the Central. Maybe Bux will want to chase a ring and the money, though personally I want him here until he retires.
  10. He made himself a prospect with consistent bat work the last few years. All of us would be super happy if he hit anywhere close to those numbers vs RHP or LHP. Brewers have built a great offense with older prospects and have spun some in trades to bolster their staff. For the Twins to actually compete, they need to be creative in building a complete roster
  11. He will be there and if the Twins don't take him, he might not go top 10. I am in favor of this pick, only if we have agreed in principal to a below slot contract
  12. That is a gross thought! Has the FO tried on Jeffers and the numbers are way off? And why is Topa still in the bigs? He isn't the only rag arm in the pen, but he is one that needs to be DFAd
  13. 162 games is a lot of coverage for 1 writer. They need some roaming writers to do highlight and human interest articles. I loved the Athletic before NY Times purchased it and now the ads being fed are almost as bad as free sites. As for Gleeman, his negativity didn't help him out at all! Telling the truth is fine, I just hate it when writers write with a grudge.
  14. We need impact arms and bats with gloves that play. Flora would be my choice, unless Tampa works a deal with someone not mentioned. That could be what the Twins are doing with Lackey, save some money for their next couple to go over slot
  15. 100% He was our next closer and homegrown on top of it! As of now, we don't even have a plan going forward.
  16. I am waiting for the mods to choke on carrots for their bashing of the Caratini signing. Talk about rubes running a site SMH. Do they have Alec Jackson huggy dolls?
  17. Exactly! Follow the Brewers script and lock up bats and trade pitchers before free agency. Ryan should be moved before the deadline IMO
  18. And since when was Jackson a legit backup? He hasn't ever hit in the majors and no other team wanted him. Jeffers is in his walk year too.
  19. Is there seriously no interest in Larnach anywhere? Everyone knows the Twins have 3 deserving guys waiting at AAA and yet all will wallow in St Paul until an injury. We have little to be excited about this year, let's get a good look at a few of these prospects.
  20. Kent was moved to full fulltime RP last year with Cleveland's AAA team and the #s look good. Have no clue if he was used in high pressure situations
  21. Having spent 6 days at camp, I believe Culpepper is our best option at SS right now. His range is superior to Lee, his arm looks better than Lee's and his bat has been far better than Lee. Maybe I'm being too hard on Brooks, but he looks like a super utility guy and not a MLB starting SS
  22. Didn't say anything about Bell, I like the signing
