    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.

    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.

    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.

    I think it will end up being Banda....

    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,

    Projection doesn't equal "dominant." It is just a plain fact.......he has not been dominant. I am still hopeful though......

    "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,......

    "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......

    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........
  10. miracleb
    Bell at 1st base should help fix..........errr.........never mind.
  11. miracleb
    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........

    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....)
  13. miracleb
    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!

    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.
  15. miracleb
    What the heck....I am not seeing anything in the article about E-Rod's numbers or success........
  16. miracleb
    Clemens has been "unlucky" his entire career. He should not be in the conversation. Outman may have hit the top of his "bell curve" after his 2023 season (26 yrs old.) Neither should be on a major league roster.......but I would rather take the chance on Outman based on his minor league track record. Of course, it probably won't come down to an either/or situation on just these two players. DH and first base are the two easiest positions to fill. We need MUCH more productivity at first base than what Clemens will give us.
  17. miracleb
    Phillips would need to be a two year deal similar to Paddock. Get basically zero from him in 2026 (after Tommy John surgery,) and hope he is good again in 2027.......
  18. miracleb
    Please add Clemens to this list! Bell should eliminate Clemens from the conversation as well..........
  19. miracleb
    I am not necessarily seeing that he is defensively challenged. If he is even similar to Josh Bell defensively....I would have rather had Mayo. With Josh Bell, hasn't this ship........ "sailed?"
  20. miracleb
    Of course it is satire. Royce has never been able to throw a splitter.......
  21. miracleb
    I don't have the stats...but I would guess that Mountcastle's stats would be similar to the combined efforts of whoever the Twins put at 1st base last year.....so not really an upgrade. I think the Cody Clemens experiment is over......so we do need an upgrade. Baltimore doesn't have as many options with Mayo so I don't think he would be as expensive as several think.....unless he could be a legitimate 3rd baseman(which would change the dynamic and make him "un-gettable" for the Twins)
  22. miracleb
    Lewis struggled massively with strikes this past year. Any GM taking him would be under a lot of pressure on every walk Lewis were to give up.....even in mop up duty. His 2025 season puts a big damper on his future.....even with the Twins. He won't be taken.
  23. miracleb
    Agree....I would lump Kody Clemens in with Outman as well.....
  24. miracleb
    Someone getting their hits against Verlander verses some A-ball guy. Ummm........YES! :) (Just giving you some grief "Link")
  25. miracleb
    This Festa conversation should be focused around........Paddock.
