  1. First, no one is going to put him on there major league roster. Too young and too unproven. Second, MLB should add another year of service to players that are taken under 18. No one should become elegable at 21 regardless of how long he has been with you.
  2. And he would be a left handed arm in the pen.
  3. With a 98 M.P.H heater he just need one more good pitch to be a strength in the bullpen. I woukd welcome him to the pen
  4. Call me stupid but I thought there was alot to like in Kremer last year. I'm not talking about a headliner but more someone who could replace Ober in the 4 or 5 slot. And resigning him after this year wouldn't break the bank.
  5. Really nice going from a below average shortstop to a top not 3rd baseman. Shows his hands were good but his feet were slow. Can't wait to see Houston as short and Culpepper at 2nd. I wonder if Kearshall could learn to handle first base. But better if we could have a 30 home run guy there. Maybe Buxton? Save his legs with fewer injuries?
  6. Good chance he coukd bust onto the scene next year.
  7. It's the options years left that give him value as a call up if someone gets injured.
  8. I would keep Ryan. If there is a lockout that went several months that would take care of the wearing down in the second half of the season. If we are competitive maybe he helps us make the playoffs and if we aren't and Ryan hold up, we can still get something for him at the trade deadline.
  9. I like Hoffman but man, that's a big salary for a relief pitcher.
  10. The walks will come. They have been there in abundance his entire career it may just be that young players are anxious to show what they can do. I saw a little bit of that in Culpepper
  11. I would take the risk and tender Jeffers. If we lose him we are compensated. If he signs the tender and stays it's expensive but he fills the gap for a year. If he can't find a good deal maybe we can get him for a more reasonable 2 year contract. But if we don't tender Jeffers and he can't find what he wants in the open market (which is unlikely) maybe we still get the 2 year deal.
  12. I think the experience and development against major league hitters, although brief, it's better for his development than having remained in the miners.
  13. Good analysis.. But I think the new bargaining agreement could play a major role in the Twins future going forward if the owners are successful. Funneling money from larger markets and having a spending floor much higher than the Twins spend coukd be a big difference maker for 2028 going forward. And for 2027 a lockout could give Buxton enough time to heal.
  14. I think Winokur will blossom in due time. I really like this kid. And yes, don't forget he's still a kid. And maybe we found a Mercedes Benz ..
  15. Maybe the article ahoukd have read. What position will Lewis play on his new team.
  16. And taking a lot of pitches leads to earlier exits for pitching opponents. Whether it's a walk or a strikeout we are probably looking at an average of 6 pitches on those at bats. And those at bats produce no double plays. Being a fast runner also leads to fewer double plays on ground balls. How bout we just let him tee it up and play next year just for the heck of it ..
  17. I thank him for his service and happy some team will have enough money finally pay him a living wage ..
  18. Maybe put a governor on Buxtons speed like U Haul does, keeping him out of the outfield at DH and maybe 1st base. Joking, but seriously, we need to keep Buck healthy
  19. The Twins got succer punched by the team just playing good enough to look like contenders when they were actually pretenders. But, E-Rod is flashing all be it a very small sample size but showing a strong skill set. Culpepper is looking legit with Houston probably a year away. But oof! Is our number one prospect in a prolonged slump with out of the gate. I think everyone forgets how young he is.
  20. Twins needed to sweep Cleveland to have any chance. Stick a fork in em. They played just well enough to bypass trading Ryan and Jeffers.
