If Ober is the fifth starter (by a lot), then the Twins have a pretty great rotation. -
I do want to point out that I posted the above before the grand salami.
-
The way guys are swinging right now, I think Wallner should be hitting before Kirilloff.
-
Willi and Farmer should be available in the postseason, for sure. Not so sure on Lewis, but Solano won't be seeing third base.

Stewart activated, Floro DFA .https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/09/twins-to-activate-brock-stewart-designate-dylan-floro-for-assignment.html -
No Willi Castro yet. I'm starting to get concerned about his health.
-
Unless that player had 15 homers and 52 RBI in 58 games.
-
Missing out on the first round, I have Sands, Winder and Headrick--all three technically are at St. Paul. Floro is just too hittable, as is Keuchel. Alcalá hasn't been that good when on the major league team and is just now completing rehab, and Funderburk is my last cut. The ERA looks good and other numbers are fine, but he has struggled to retire the first batter he's faced in his outings, which could loom large on the big stage of the playoffs.
-
The way I see it for Round 1 of the postseason: Three starters--López, Gray and Ryan. Three starters as middle relief-piggyback options--Paddack, Varland, Maeda. Five late relievers--Stewart, Thielbar, Pagán, Jax and Duran. If the Twins win the first round in two games, Ryan starts the next series, otherwise it is Bailey Ober.

Kyle Gibson, one of my favorite ex-Twins.

Polanco got the out and they weren’t going to turn two. Larnach threw toward third, but the runner didn’t take second. The following double off the top of his glove scored two runs, including the guy on first.

I think Maeda has been the best and most consistent of the possible third starters, but it's a close call. Hopefully Ryan does just as well as Maeda would have.
-
Unless there is a setback, Stewart will be with the Twins on Tuesday. I don't know about Buxton, but the Twins can afford to put him in the lineup for plate appearances now that they've clinched. As mentioned above, it is really difficult to option people or DFA them, since all the players on the active roster are candidates for postseason. I guess when Stewart is activated, they could either DFA Floro or option Funderburk.

I mostly agree with your thoughts above. I do think Lee is a future All-Star, probably as a third baseman, and he would be a capable shortstop (not "break glass in emergency") despite only average speed and range (much like Correa). I don't think he's ready for a major league debut and certainly not for postseason baseball, but he's only been a professional for about 15 months.

Given Rocco ‘s experience with the Twins (too many injured guys, some trying to play), that might be tempting.
-
TheTwins announced their starters for the Oakland series. Ober, López a Gray will pitch for the home team. Maeda will work out of the bullpen. It looks like Ryan will be the #3 starter in the postseason.
-
They haven’t had a longer winning streak than 5 and never won 9 of 10 this season., but they are playing poor teams eliminated this year.

Funderburk and first hitters might cause him to be left off the postseason roster.
-
Mr. Jeffers has become a pretty good baseball player.
-
Boom and now two more hits. Vikings couldn’t come back from a four-point deficit. Doubtful that the Angels can (I can talk smart now that they’ve won the division.
-
Willi was eligible for arb last year and was non-tendered by Detroit. He will be eligible for arb this year and the next.
-
The much maligned contact way brought in the lead run even with Jeffers running. Paddack might not get a chance to pitch now.
-
Rehab update: Gordon 0-2, strikeout, walk and caught stealing. Buxton and Gallo 0-3 with one K each.
-
Rehab update: Buxton, Gallo and Gordon all in the lineup for the Saints’ season finalé. All are hitless so far. Stewart and Alcalá are in the bullpen.
