  1. I can agree with you Mark....but.....without the type of improvement that guys like Jax need to find.....they don't even have a shot at a MLB career.....so I guess I see WHY they do it.
  2. Not sure why Keirsey is not getting any love from the Twin's brass. Several tools that would already play well in the major leagues and his bat has now come around the last few years as well. Why he doesn't have at least 10-15 at bats right now in spring training is just odd. Injured?
  3. Beating a dead horse here...... but using high draft picks on 2nd basemen is idiotic.
  4. Not sure you understand how the "greater-than" and "less-than" symbols work....... :-)
  5. I would love to see Santana only starting against lefties......that means Kirilloff is healthy and hitting....... and will get 2/3rd of the at bats!
  6. I SO Agree with Road Trip on this. Miller could step in defensively right now and play as good as Pedro Florimon did for TWO years......5-6 years ago. And probably hit as well(not saying much.) Just to get a back-up out fielder who has a proven track record of not being a major league hitter? Doesn't make sense! I would prefer to give that spot to Martin for sure....and probably one or two others before this guy.
  7. All I ask is that Twins fans not be complacent/happy with being average(at BEST.) This is not hard! Among other things, a lower payroll ends up being the result.
  8. Correct...and being happy with being on the WRONG side of the average...should not make you happy! You are getting it! PS Nice job on the math! :-)
  9. Exactly! That is why we should not be happy with a HIGHER ERA. It certainly might happen....in fact..... it probably will be a higher ERA than 4.30........this is NOT something we should be happy about! That is all that I am saying. :-)
  10. I would guess there might be 4-5 guys listed who would even be in the conversation by the time any expansion draft actually were to HAPPEN.......so a pretty moot point. But....I read the whole damn article!! LOL!! :-)
  11. Not on a playoff caliber team......but that is probably not what you are looking for.
  12. We need Paddack's ERA at the end of the season to start with a "3." This means the "New Slider" definitely helped him! I hope it is effective!!
  13. "but if he can put up something similar to the 4.28 ERA (with 9.2 K/9 and 1.0 BB/9) that he’s displayed in his limited Twins tenure thus far, then the club would gladly take that." Ummm.....no. 4.28 is probably a below league average ERA. No one should be "happy" with that. Other than Joe Ryan, who had a horrendous 2nd half of last season, most every Twin's starter had a lower ERA than that........
  14. Regarding winning ROY in 2024 and getting the additional draft pick. I love that idea! BUT.....what is to keep the Twins from keeping him in AAA all of 2024 and he would have an even better chance of winning the ROY in 2025 ....to be able to get the draft pick! It sounds like it has to be THIS year....but could someone fill me in on why that is the case.........TY!
  15. Not sure this article tells us where he is(?) I believe he is already doing more than "long toss" and will be throwing from the mound soon (if not already.) He should be pitching in the minors by mid-summer. First year back from surgery probably isn't going to be great but we really only want to see him have no set backs. 2025 is when we will need to see him move.....if he is going to have a future with the Twins. FIngers crossed!
  16. Bellinger, a lefty, would not make sense for the Twins. Add a hefty cost and he REALLY doesn't make sense for the Twins. Grichuk actually compares favorably to Taylor. When all other options are gone, Taylor under a Twin-friendly deal would not be a bad thing as "Buxton insurance."
  17. Love these type of articles Cody! It would be interesting as to how his glove plays out. Seems like he could develop a "Polanco type" bat.....but put that bat at short-stop.....now you have a perennial all-star!
  18. Agree here. Montgomery and then I don't care what they do! Agree here. Bellinger is not an option for so many reasons ($$$$) and left handed bat.
  19. Wow......Austin Riley is actually a very good comp....but doubtful Lewis has a chance to be Austin Riley!
  20. I like the outfielders listed here. I previously thought Austin Martin should be on this list but having him "waiting in the wings" is not a bad thing. I also think DaShawn Keirsey would be a capable 4th outfielder.......and a lot of value to the roster(speed) if he was needed.
  21. Huh? Carry them all? Having Funderburk and Alcala start out with the Twins was never a given. With injuries, there is probably a good chance at least one of these two even ends up going north. We are still at a bare bones minimum of bullpen arms. Hopefully, we do get into a position where we have 4-5 options on the last one or two spots! :-)
  22. I see Jenkins being on the "verge" at this point so that looks like a great pick. If Prielipp is still on the list, then there was probably another set back, and we are "hoping" he comes around again.......
