    Definitely. Not everyone takes a linear path to the majors like it looks like Kaelen Culpepper will. History is littered with guys, especially international signings, that fell completely off the prospect radar then things clicked once they got into their 20s. Yasser is almost exactly the same age as Culpepper when he got drafted, by the way.
  2. Whammy
    Yeah. I'm not saying Jaime is wrong in his assessment (or that BA is wrong in their assessment), merely pointing out the wide range of opinions on him. Also worth noting, Jaime was only recently pulled onto the Yasser Mercedes hype train and it was kicking and screaming, so maybe BA is just a few weeks behind him,
  3. Whammy
    Well, I guaran-f&cking-tee that he never slides into first base again. What a disaster.

    Mercedes didn't even make the Twins top 30 in Baseball America's midseason update.
  5. Whammy
    Indeed

    I'm going to guess that Luis Garcia pitches today and is DFA'd tomorrow to make room for whichever of Bowman and Brebbia they would feel worse about losing.
  7. Whammy
    Quick Pivot?
  8. Whammy
    Matt Chapman had a costly error last night, so he might be cheaper to get at the moment.

    Curious that they waited until today. I imagine Arcia was back from Ohio by Sunday night, I suppose it has more to do with the timing of the 40-man roster spot (Topa's DFA) than the straight swap of Lewis for Arcia.

    This fancy cat just dropped a "clamber" on us!

    I don’t think that’s strictly true. Just a really strong rule of thumb
  13. Whammy
    If they call the game (they won’t) might that get Rojas the win? And give SWR the save?

    2i

    I'm actually pretty OK with how they've treated Morris over the last 10 months. Late 2025 - Stayed as a starter at AAA Very Early 2026 - Stayed as a starter at AAA MLB Debut weeks - Worked in low leverage over multiple innings MLB Now - Ramped up in terms of leverage, dialed back to around 1 inning at a time, and started to go back-to-back.

    I would change that to say something more like "not since Joe Mauer retired after 2018" Having 2014-2018 Joe Mauer holding down first base for the 2026 Minnesota Twins would be a welcome improvement.

    I was just thinking that he had strung together a nice couple of weeks, then yesterday happened.

    I know Clemens has a bright shiny OPS against lefties this season, but that's in a tiny sample size (20 PA). His 2025 OPS against lefties was 0.482 (in 89 PA). Playing Clemens against lefties feels like giving up.
  19. Whammy
    Not a ton of movement or surprises Biggest Risers: Riley Quick from 11 to 7 Ryan Gallagher from 23 to 15 Biggest Droppers: Charlee Soto from 7 to 10 Brandon Winokur from 15 to 20 Marco Raya from 21 to Out of top 30 New to the List: CJ Culpepper Ben Ross Alejandro Hidalgo I was a little surprised Yasser Mercedes didn't sneak back on to the top 30 after being in the 20s last season and having a hot start to 2026.
  20. Whammy
    What should the Twins do? Probably alter their long-term strategy around the position. What should the Twins do in the short term? Probably plug their nose, hold their breath, and hope Clemens stays kind of hot. I'd be fine with Sabato or Fedko getting a real shot, but I'm not holding my breath for that.

    I think we have to assume Buxton will be back in the next day or two, otherwise they would have put him on the IL on over the weekend when they could've backdated it the full 3 days.
  22. Whammy
    One other potential for optimism is if we start to get a little healthier with the rotation (big if), some of the guys who have been contributing or underperforming in the rotation can get shifted to the bullpen. Say what you will about SWR, but I have much more confidence in him getting through an inning than I do some of the guys at the back end of the bullpen.
  23. Whammy
    Taj isn't eligible to come off the IL for another week, right?
  24. Whammy
    Please tell me that we got good Zebby back.
  25. Whammy
    I'm not down on Morneau like some people are. I think he gets long-winded at times, but overall does a pretty good job. And I actually don't mind the 3-man booth with Molitor and him (in small doses), but having heard Molitor a decent amount (mostly on radio) over the last couple years, I know that I would REALLY enjoy some 2-man Molitor/Provus games.
