    All prospects are risky. The main risk, which is the problem for 99% of prospects that don't make it, is that they aren't good enough to succeed in MLB. Rodriguez may or may not be able to overcome his injury issues but I don't see any reason to "panic," as this is unfortunately nothing new for him.

    The bigger question with Lackey is whether he'll even be around at #3. If he is the Twins will take him. Not sure what happens if it's Emerson vs Flora, I'd assume Emerson would be more likely based on history.

    It's interesting to me that Arcia had the highest tracked exit velocity of his career (110) recently at AAA, and yesterday the highest velocity infield throw for the Twins since good Correa. He might not be cooked.

    Lee has long been seen as likely to play 2B or 3B, the Lewis situation gave them an easy way to make the transition. Just will come down to the bat.

    Interesting that for today the Twins cloned Ty Langenberg, no offense to the guy but maybe cloning Quick would have made more sense!

    It's happening across MLB, just gonna have to accept it.

    Part of the issue with Ryan is probably that other clubs view him as risky and aren't offering premium returns. Having Ryan actually look good down the stretch for once would lift his value for the off-season market to help offset the reduced amount of remaining service time. So I'm fine with not trading him. And he's a great QO candidate -- keep in mind the resulting draft pick can effectively produce multiple players due to the impact on overall draft budget.

    Yeah, we're sure. Rodriguez is a good defensive CF while Mendez is basically a DH. Also Mendez has severe launch angle issues that need to be corrected for him to succeed in the Majors. I actually love that the Twins are just letting Young play. If he already had everything figured out he would have been a top 10 pick and not available at #54.

    I'd be surprised if Wallner plays another game for the Twins.

    ZiPS projects him now as a solid backup, vs entering the year as replacement level. Whether he can settle in as a contributor remains to be seen but his batted ball data is interesting at least. Not really a big deal in the scheme of things but still.

    This is not correct. There are virtually an unlimited number of players like Fedko, they are always available for minimal cost. The limitation is playing time. The Twins can only provide a certain number of plate appearances. It's not possible to give meaningful playing time to every good AAA player, it simply cannot be done. Clubs will always let guys like Rooker go that occasionally have a late break out. It's just part of the game and there's nothing you can do about it.

    I must be missing something because I don't see how these moves support your conclusion, they all make sense if the team is looking forward to 2027 as well.
  31. nova_twins
    Silly thread tbh. AAAA guys have been a thing for all of MLB history. It's not really a knock on Fedko, he's one of the top couple thousand ballplayers in the world, it's just not quite MLB level, hence why no team wanted him as a minimum salary RH bench bat.

    I don't think Houston is really close to a top 100 conversation. Lots of work to do offensively. Mercedes is under the radar because it's a small sample breakout, but he could be legit. As of today there's no question he's a top 20 Twins prospect, hopefully he keeps it up.

    Prielipp's curveball would be near top of MLB in spin rate.
