    Interesting that Fedko hitting .290 and deemed not ready, and Culpepper hitting .250 and people anxious for call up. Fedko can play any of outfield positions and has experience at 1B, has hammered LH pitching this year. I would hope he would get an opportunity with Twins this year.

    Ryan likely gone, but should return Bradley, Able, Rojas type in trade.

    Mendez is exciting, Twins don't have many prospects with his hitting ability. Defense is an issue for him. Hill has it. He just needs to learn how to pitch more, improve control and consistency. Great to have another LH pitcher top prospect.

    Hope Zebby keeps it up and makes it hard to return him to AAA.

    Need to see more of Gomez to know what Twins have in him, Garcia may be OK for low leverage, but not a closer. The problem with calling up Arcia is he is not on 40 man, would have to DFA someone. I think Gray needs some starts at 3B, 6 games this week, Gray should start at 3B for 2 of them at least.

    Great article Seth, love reading this type of information.

    Zebby's last 2 starts have been good at AAA. and he lines up well with Ryan's spot in rotation-pitched on Saturday. I look for Matthews to get to call to replace Ryan in rotation. SWR may have to have a couple more starts until Able ready to return. Yes, it has been hard to watch SWR after first time through order, really struggling to get outs.

    Maybe there is a plan D. Waiting for roster cuts to pick someone up?
  9. 4twinsJA
    The only surprise is maybe this is a week earlier than expected.

    I would love to see Rodriguez break camp with the Twins, but not likely with Twins philosophy. Twins will want to gain one more year of control. Can see an outfield of some combination of Rodriguez, Buxton, Rodon, and Martin by midseason with Gonzolez and Jenkins waiting for opportunity in St. Paul?

    I look for Twins to pick up a couple more castoffs during spring training. I think MacLeod is a sleeper for bullpen, not to start year, but later in year.

    I have no issues with Twins signing Urshela to be the backup, backup's, backup at 3B.
  13. 4twinsJA
    1B is harder than people give it credit for. Easier for infielder to move to 1B, already can field in infield. Then, there is also catching rising fastballs, sliders, changeups and throws in the dirt from infielders. Mendez has a lot of work to do to be a MLB firstbaseman.

    Festa also seems to have some durability issues, can his arm handle a starting pitcher's 150+ innings a year. Maybe he begins the year at AAA to get accustomed to relief role, but I agree, Festa could be the Twins best relief pitcher this year.

    Good luck to Julien and Ohl. Maybe a change of scenery will benefit Julien. Tough place to be traded to for Ohl. Yes, this is inconsequential to the Twins overall, both were most likely be non factors this year. But good to get little more clarity on roster.

    I have no problem with Twins trading Buxton. Twins are rebuilding, Buxton will not be part of next competitive window. Sell high on Buxton now. It is not so much a money issue at this point, but Twins acquiring potential pieces for next competitive window.
  17. 4twinsJA
    Twins shop for FAs at TJMaxx, won't find any potential Twins FAs on top 50 list.
  18. 4twinsJA
    Hawkins is a good hire. I like Maki as well but maybe change is needed. Maki should not have any difficulty getting a job.
  19. 4twinsJA
    Can Correa be the best but also the most disappointing at the same time? He was definitely the highest paid.
  20. 4twinsJA
    With WInokur's size would Twins consider 1B as option?
  21. 4twinsJA
    I think payroll will be around 100M. Twins will not sign any significant FAs. For one thing, FAs would have to want to come to Twins, why would Alonso want to come to Twins. Lopez and Buxton are the only players with contracts for next year, could see both gone. Their salaries stick out like a sore thumb on list of contracts for next year.
  22. 4twinsJA
    Maybe, Rocco wanted out, did not like direction team headed. Twins will not be very good next year.
  23. 4twinsJA
    How about trades, Lopez and Buxton are the only Twins players with contracts for next year. Could see FO trading both and maybe Ryan and Ober or anyone else with some trade value- Jeffers. Looks like it could be a complete rebuild. Will Twins be worse than White Sox next year?
  24. 4twinsJA
    Looks like a good base to build next year's bullpen with.
  25. 4twinsJA
    I doubt Ohl and Adams are worried they are going to miss out on millions when they get to arbitration or FA. Like to idea of couple BP pitchers pitching every 4 days, 40 games a year, 2-3 IP a game 80-120 IP a year. How many innings does a normal BP pitcher get a year= 60-70?
