    Losing Keaschall to the injury this spring might have been the difference between playoffs and selling off. (Plus Lopez.) He seems to bring the speed as well as solid hitting that this team was missing for so long. I know I have to pump the brakes in my mind, but like you said, he just seems to have an "it" factor. Fun to watch and excited to see next year as he continues to get healthier!

    That might be true, but also if Detroit lost Skubal for two months, I would venture a guess that they would start to taper off their current pace.

    Looks like a few more picked up on this (Tony too), but I was going to mention this too. Why compare a stud OF and a strong runner to an infielder who has never been "okay" with the glove and is pretty slow? I'm excited about Emmanuel because of all of his tools, not just his hitting. (Although his hitting does look pretty good, potentially in a Wallner mold for early impact as a rookie.)
  26. TwinsAce
    I think Kepler might be our best example of what Rocco does if he gets a lefty hitting OF who provides great defense, right? If so, I have hopes that both of our top 2 prospects will get longer looks compared to some of our other young hitters.
  27. TwinsAce
    IMO, the Correa deal is still a win by the Twins. He's provided elite defense and leadership from SS and has hit (especially this year) at an elite level. The injuries hurt, so future years will still dictate this as a win or a loss, like you said. However, it looks a lot better if his deal is part of a $150 million roster instead of a $100 million roster. Especially if that $100 million roster also has a $22 million pitcher (which is necessary IMO). Curious what will happen this offseason...

    I'm not sure why Maeda is being touted as a bad trade now? (Seems like that trade did about what we hoped out of it.) And it seems misleading to ignore the Ryan, Lopez, and Gray trades since without those, we would have been so much worse. Topa IMO doesn't deserve to be on here too (at least in regards to dent in future rosters), since we got rid of Polanco and received a decent prospect and Topa back for more than one year. You are missing the Jorge Lopez trade though, which was the result of trading for a top BP guy. I'm guessing that trade made the FO a bit more timid to trade for top BP arms during the year. I do agree that trades (or draft picks) for pitching can be pretty painful at times. Just take a look at the Dodgers trading for Glasnow or all of their injured starters at AA or MLB level. Long term, the Twins have some pretty good pieces in place due to the same foundation you mention. (Rosters are built via: Draft choices, Trades, FA signings, Waiver Wire.) The painful part will be if they continue to decrease the payroll after giving a taste of a higher $$ roster.

    I won't be able to change your mind. To me, I would much rather watch the current version of the playoffs vs. the playoffs of the 60s-80s or even 90s-00s. It keeps more teams in it and seems to give more opportunities to mid-market teams that have developing teams throughout the year.
  30. TwinsAce
    The Twins have been weird this year. They have beaten up the really bad teams, they have stunk against the best teams, and then they somehow hold tie-breakers over most of the teams around them in the playoff race. (Which arguably is a good sign!) IF Royce Lewis was hitting, Ryan was pitching, and one of our bullpen arms (Topa or Stewart) came back, I think this team had a decent chance to make a run in the playoffs. Hard to see it now without Lopez, Ober, Jax, Correa, or Wallner carrying the team if we make the wild card spot.
  31. TwinsAce
    A few other deck chairs: Alcala (I didn't trust him after watching him blow game after game lately), Thielbar (as much as I wish he was still in peak form), Varland, Winder, Irvin, etc. Tough to manage when you only have 2 arms you trust and another that in theory you should trust (Duran). If the offense showed up and actually scored more than 4 runs, we might have fresher arms at the back end of the bullpen for games like this.

    Yeah, pictures of minor league players (or even major league sometimes) without name captions makes it rough to really learn who the players are without clicking into profiles, etc. Seems pretty easy and straight forward...?
  34. TwinsAce
    Looking at the bullpen chart and also the expected return of Topa, I think the Twins had two hopes for the game last night. Either Lopez deals a gem and pitches 6-7 innings of amazing ball or they can use Dobnak to soak up all of the innings in a losing effort. If Lopez does a gem, then you look at Sands for 7th and Jax/Duran for 8th and 9th. (And by doing so, you no longer have them available for Thursday.) Winder and Dobnak will be going back shortly (if it hasn't already been announced already). Hopefully the bullpen is better setup now for Friday's double header against Cleveland.

    I think it varies by who writes these articles up each day, but most of the time they only show the players who played that day. So in other words, if someone is not pitching, they aren't included. Or if someone has a day off, they would also not be listed. So thankfully not that many injuries. Hope that helps!
