    If Garlick, Smeltzer make Twins, who gets bumped off 40 man? I see Twins considering these depth players at AAA, call up in case of emergency.
  2. 4twinsJA
    I agree with TopGun, need Arraez, Buxton, Polanco, Correa in top 4, clearly Twins best hitters. Need Arraez in lineup on a regular basis, I like him primarily at DH and subbing at 3B, 2B as needed. 5,6,7 Kirilloff, Sano, Kepler. Then Urshela and C. If Sanchez is going to hit around .200, limit time at DH.

    I really like Ober, probably will never be an ace but should be a solid mid-rotation starter.
  4. 4twinsJA
    I look for Twins to use Sanchez primarily as DH, and occassionally at C, third C behind Jeffers and Gogoy. Without pressure of playing in NY and physical stress of catching, Sanchez's hitting will improve. Could hit 25+ HRs this year.

    Sanchez is up for arbitration, can Twins just release him without having to pay salary like Twins did with Rosario? Or sign him for significantly lower than 8M arbitration estimate.

    What does someone have to do to get a 70-75 rating, Miranda hit .340 at top 2 levels of MiLB last year and only 50/55 rating?

    Good projection for roster today, but hopefully FO not done yet. May yet acquire another SP, SS, backup catcher, relief pitcher.

    I am for almost anything that improves fan engagement of MLB. Pitch clock may be an adjustment for a few pitchers the first year. But, if implemented throughout MiLB, pitchers will be accustomed to it by the time they reach MLB. Get the batters to stay in box instead of adjusting batting gloves between each pitch.

    My sleeper is Strotman. I don't' know what happened after Twins acquired him, trouble adjusting or tired arm, but looking for him to take a step forward this year.
  10. 4twinsJA
    If the deadline is Monday Feb. 28, I guess Friday March 4 at 10pm ET for resolution.
  11. 4twinsJA
    I agree with Nashvilletwin, there is a reason Miranda only played one game in outfield last year. He is not an outfielder. 3B seems to be future position of need after Donaldson moves to DH or is moved to another team.
  12. 4twinsJA
    I think Law has some recency bias since Twins have not developed an ace (?Berrios) in a long time. Only time will give us the answers. This is a huge year for Twins pitching prospects.
  13. 4twinsJA
    Hopefully one of the sides steps up to be the adult in the room and ends this childish stare off.
  14. 4twinsJA
    I could see Twins going with starter heavy pitching staff at AAA, piggy backing starters to limit innings. Twins seem to have plenty of SPs ready for AAA experience and hopefully progressing to MLB. Winder should move quickly if gets off to good start.
  15. 4twinsJA
    Great job Seth, really like the young pitchers Twins have drafted. Like that Festa does not have a lot of mileage on his arm only starting to pitch senior year of HS.
  16. 4twinsJA
    I agree with Nashville twin, there will be plenty of young pitchers used by Twins this year. I am high on Winder, was dominant at AA, fatigued when got to AAA. Hopefully healthy this year. I look for pitchers to be shuttled between AAA and Twins-Winder, Duran, Sands, Balazovic, Dobnak, and Strotman getting opportunities. None have built up arm to tolerate 150 IP next year. Time for these pitchers to see what they can do at MLB level. One may even be on opening day roster, but no guarantee they will stay for entire year. In response to article, WInder is my pick to have best year of pitching prospects yet to make MLB debut for Twins.
  17. 4twinsJA
    Like Gordon as utility, can play everywhere but 1B and C, but limited upside. Rortvedt blocked unless a trade or injury, bat questionable. Celestino looks to be potential 4th OF with Kirilloff potentially moving to 1B and Sano DH, Of the 3, Gordon may make biggest impact this year since likely on opening day roster.
  18. 4twinsJA
    Hope Twins get as many of these young arms up to pitch in MLB as they can this year. Many clubs, Cardinals for one, many times will break their SPs into MLB as relievers. If I am sitting at AAA as SP and Twins ask me to move up to MLB Twins but as reliever- I would jump at it. Can always stretch them back out to be SP in future. I agree SP until proven not, but looking for more hybrid type pitchers to be used in future 3-4 IP an appearance- leading to piggy backing 2 hybrid pitchers.
  19. 4twinsJA
    When I built my Twins roster had Twins picking up 2 mid tier starters and 2 mid tier relievers-McHugh and Tepera. At this point, Twins definitely have the payroll space to pick these up but expecting Pineda with Bundy for starters and maybe one of those 2 relievers.
  20. 4twinsJA
    Raising the luxury tax only helps a few elite players get more money, does not do much for vast majority of players. .
  21. 4twinsJA
    Great job Seth, really enjoyed series. I watched MiLB TV quite a bit last year, to me was well worth the $40 annual fee, got to see most of these prospects. St. Paul, Wichita, and Cedar Rapids had all there games on MiLB TV. I would recommend for prospect watchers.
  22. 4twinsJA
    Really enjoyed interview. Drew is my pick as bounce back player in Twins system, got off to slow start after trade but look for him to get comfortable with Twins and have a great year. Hope he get opportunity at MLB level this year for Twins.
  23. 4twinsJA
    My sleepers- Kirilloff, Winder, and Moran. Coming off wrist surgery Kirilloff may start slow but look for him to put it together next year. Winder could be 2022s Ober. Moran ready to take the next step.
  24. 4twinsJA
    Agree, pitching development key to Twins success and needed to show FO methods successful. I was looking for more prospects to get an opportunity at MLB level last year, unfortunately injuries slowed most of them.
  25. 4twinsJA
    I agree with Trov, trade value probably not that high now for trade before season. Let the season play out, if does well pick up option, if not don't. I think DHing is harder that most people give it credit for, hopefully Cruz has passed some information on to Sano on how to stay in game and be ready for ABs.
