    I'm not certain that Roch's and Houston's defense are all that different. Both are outstanding at SS and that's a good problem to have to. I also don't think Roch makes it to 3. But yes, Houston having any level of a bat is fun to see.

    Agreed completely. If they can go into 2027 (if there is a season) with any semblance of truly being able to write the infield out in pen more than pencil, I'll take that as a win regardless. The draft being before the trade deadline will also be interesting. Makes me think IF they get Lackey or Cholowsky, then they wouldn't necessarily prioritize trade assets coming back at those positions who are on similar timelines. But I am also someone who likes to read WAY TOO MUCH into things at times, so we'll see.

    Keaschall could be 1b or in left field just fine. Agreed with the other posters; if Cholowsky is at 3 then that cements who the SS will be going forward most likely. And I do think Culpepper will have a home with how strong he can be defensively at either 3b or 2b. I guess we'll see then between Lewis and Lee who sticks longer, but IF all of that works and everyone is healthy, Lee being a super utility also fits well. Lots of ifs, but Houston hitting a bit and providing strong defense at SS is a good problem otherwise.

    Let's say this does play out. Having Pablo back next year (and I still would extend him) helps too no?

    I don't at all love his defense. Maybe as a DH, otherwise I'd just prefer to wait for Jenkins to eventually get healthy.

    Culpepper needs a spot before Fedko no? Either way Outman probably isn’t long for the team

    I wouldn't take him over most anyone in the majors right now, and I also wouldn't bring him up before Gonzalez or even when Jenkins is healthy. It's a numbers game. He is a good story, and cheer for guys like that.
  28. Cory Engelhardt
    I'll throw 1B in as an option too. But if he can hit, they find a position for him after that point.
  29. Cory Engelhardt
    Watch, there is a world where both Lackey and Roch are available at 3. @Jamie CameronDo you have a preference in that scenario?

    1) Trade Joe Ryan for a few very good young playes, probably a starting pitcher and a position player, and maybe another prospect further away. The return may sound similar to the Duran return, but with any luck they actually pick the right players. 2) Trade Bailey Ober for a starting pitcher prospect. Wish him well. 3) Extend Ryan Jeffers 4) Extend Pablo Lopez 5) Push Culpepper and Jenkins up. Let's see what we have. 6) If there are other non-core guys going forward, also trade them. In the offseason 1) Acquire a middle of the order type bat 2) Acquire an actual reliever or 2 3) Hopefully have a 2027 season. 4) Profit

    See, I'm not certain that Lee is a full time starter at one set position.. He very well could be a utility guy. And if the Twins do like Ramirez more than they like Shaw, maybe that's the path then. I do think the Dodgers, and probably most teams, view pitching differently than we on this board do. Heck, when the Twins traded Nelson Cruz, did anyone actually think that Joe Ryan would become what he did? I certainly didn't. If they do make a trade with Boston, I'd also love Kyson Witherspoon. He's had a rough year numbers wise but I loved him at Oklahoma last year. And if you can get a player like Walcott, maybe you just make it work and figure out details later. We haven't touched on 1B or C though as options, let alone sure-fire SS's. A true SS that puts Culpepper at 2B or 3B would be nice. And a true 1B who can be a middle of the order bat (if there is one out there) would also pique my interest. But yeah, you can never have too much pitching.
  32. Cory Engelhardt
    I think a few teams could offer interesting options. The Cubs could start with Matt Shaw as an option right? The Dodgers certainly have tons of options, including young pitching that's not far off. Even Boston could start with a few of their younger guys who aren't FAR away. Texas could also arguably put a decent proposal together. I guess we'll see.

    Came here to say, a few years back Detroit traded Jack Flaherty for a good prospect return AND still made the playoffs. I'm not saying this to say the Twins will make the playoffs. But if they do get a strong return for Ryan, that's not necessarily a bad thing. With how their starting rotation is shaping up, they can trade someone now who can bring a strong return and still be ok. That's especially true if he won't be extended here. Plus, is anyone else certain that he can ever have a full and healthy season? I suppose that's the same for every pitcher ever. Let's just say they get a good pitching prospect who is either at AA/AAA or already had a cup of coffee, along with a really good hitting prospect. Something stronger than what Duran brought back. Why would that be a bad thing when A) We don't know if there is a 2027 season and B) he probably won't be extended anyway. I'm good with it, is basically what I'm saying.

    Count me in the camp of who is very excited to see Matt Barr pitching again. And thank you for the report. Great as always!
  35. Cory Engelhardt
    I get the feeling they are figuring out if Lee can be a starter somewhere, or a utility guy everywhere. I'm not at all certain he is a true long term starter at any infield position, but he has improved since last year so that's good. The trade deadline will be interesting. If they do get a shot at a really good 3B or SS or 2B to add to the team, they might take it.
