    4 IP by Bundy, then Winder for 3. Looking forward more to seeing Winder pitch than Bundy.

    I think they should start experimenting with ABS in MLB. Not make it part of the game but instant feedback to umpire as to whether they called it correctly. A learning tool, over time umpires would learn appropriate strike zone and zone would become more uniform between umpires. Now they get some feedback after the game, not timely enough feedback.

    "Stealing a strike" is great, getting a strike call when it is out of the zone. But a poor catcher may lose some strikes that are in the zone because of how they caught the ball.

    Great to see Twins pushing most of 2021 draft class up to at least low A. Most of these guys are already 22. Miller was playing HS ball at this time last year.

    Watched game on MiLB TV, not much hitting either team. Banuelos absolutely crushed his HR. Weather was main factor as will be with a lot of games the first few weeks. Terry is a big man at 1B.

    AAA for Twins has a lot of "depth" players, backup to the backup's backup. Would rather see more prospects, but looking at AA Wichita roster, don't see any players I would argue that should be at AAA. Wichita has a few players that if have good first few months may get moved up to AAA but don't see any that should be there now.

    I think Twins will be patient with Archer, limiting him to 3-4 IP per start for first 3-4 starts. Maybe piggy backing Winder on Archer's starts. I agree the plan may be for prospects to work their way onto roster as season progresses. There will be injuries, should be plenty of opportunities for the prospects.

    Saw Luis Rijo on Fangraphs injuried list.

    Great to see Twins aggressive placing Povich and Encarncion-Strand, look for Severino and Morales to move up by mid-season. If Hajjar not on CR roster, must be on Ft Myers at low A, probably moving at mid-season also.

    Good for Coulombe, I am not a big fan but has been decent for Twins, not alot of upside. Rooker/Garlick, for me rather see Garlick, but can see Twins keeping Rooker as well. Feel Twins hoping Larnach and Celestino ready in a couple months to move up to MLB. Eventually need to find room for Miranda also, these things tend to work themselves out.

    Most of the offseason Donaldson trade scenarios involved the Twins sending cash to whoever traded for Donaldson. Instead of cash, Twins took Sanchez and his salary. Sanchez probably deserves an opportunity, but Jeffers and probably Goday are far superior defensive catchers. I don't see the need for Sanchez to catch for the Twins- 3rd emergency catcher. Can he hit enough even to be DH, I would think Arraez would be a far superior choice against RH pitching. Can't see Twins DFAing Sanchez since they owe him his salary for the year, but maybe at some point in season if performance poor, may consider it.

    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.
  13. 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.
  14. 4twinsJA
    I really like Ober, probably will never be an ace but should be a solid mid-rotation starter.
  15. 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.
  16. 4twinsJA
    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.
  17. 4twinsJA
    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?
  18. 4twinsJA
    Good projection for roster today, but hopefully FO not done yet. May yet acquire another SP, SS, backup catcher, relief pitcher.
  19. 4twinsJA
    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.
  20. 4twinsJA
    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.
  21. 4twinsJA
    If the deadline is Monday Feb. 28, I guess Friday March 4 at 10pm ET for resolution.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 4twinsJA
    Hopefully one of the sides steps up to be the adult in the room and ends this childish stare off.
  25. 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.
