  1. He should be the catcher against right-handed pitchers and Jeffers against left-handed pitchers(and when Caratini needs a break.) That would mean many more starts for Caratini over Jeffers. That would put them both in the best position to thrive. If you are worried about at bats for Jeffers, would you DH him against right-handed pitchers.......probably not.
  2. An easy call. If he has a fabulous spring training he SHOULD be the 4th outfielder. If just an average spring training, he will easily pass thru waivers and we can park him in St Paul.
  3. Does Clemens have that great of a glove? He is a below average bat. There is no reason for him to have a spot "locked in." He easily would pass thru waivers and can be a piece sitting at AAA in case of emergency.
  4. I don't see any way possible that Rogers is the closer by mid-season (although, I don't think he will even start the season as the closer.) Facing three, right-handed bats every single time he pitches....is a recipe for disaster for him! Also, Adams was forced into action last year. I don't see him breaking camp with the big league team this year,
  5. Projection doesn't equal "dominant." It is just a plain fact.......he has not been dominant. I am still hopeful though......
  6. "Prielipp has been one of the most dominant pitching prospects in the system when healthy" Now you COULD say this about Matt Canterino...and be accurate. The promise that Canterino had was HUGE...but sadly......it looks like he will not get past the "health" issue,......
  7. "Prielipp has been one of the most dominant pitching prospects in the system when healthy" I still have high hopes for Prielipp.....but that statement is not consistent with ANY of his stats......
  8. A week of playing first base in the minors (prior to the first game) will show/determine if he can be a success there. This is baseball (high level for sure,) but it isn't rocket science...... Heck........Joey Gallo is trying to become a pitcher now........
  9. Bell at 1st base should help fix..........errr.........never mind.
  10. Prielipp is not part of the conversation. He hasn't necessarily proven himself in AA let alone AAA. I'd feel different about him as a prospect if he had those numbers as a 22 year old. Have injuries been devastating to his career....yes! Do I like pushing him up thru the minors faster than others with the same "numbers".....yes! But right now, as things are shaping up (best case,) he is a solid, middle innings, reliever. If that is your #2 prospect.....stick a fork in........
  11. Sheesh...go easy on Prielipp and Raya. Neither of them had numbers last year that say they are going to be major league players......ever. Hopefully, Raya can turn things around or he won't even be with in the Twin's organization in 2027. Fedko intrigues me. His 26 year old season is so far removed from the rest of his career that I hope we don't find out that he has been living in the same Florida townhouse complex as........Kepler. (did I just say that out loud....)
  12. Quick will determine how "quickly" he rises thru the ranks. A 3.92 ERA against college hitters doesn't scream "fast mover." If he sports a 3.92 ERA in A ball.....he won't be a fast mover!
  13. Seems like I am feeling much better than most about the Varland trade. Guaranteed Toronto would want to "take that trade back" if they could right now. He wasn't very good for them after the trade. Varland is 28 years old and literally had 4 VERY good months with the Twins last year.......and not much else. If he can duplicate those same 4 months last year over the next two-three years.....Toronto "wins" the trade and I am happy for Louis Varland. History says...that won't happen.
  14. What the heck....I am not seeing anything in the article about E-Rod's numbers or success........
