    I like Teel too. I'm not trading Jenkins for him.
  2. Cory Engelhardt
    I totally assume Joe Pohlad is in an office somewhere mixing up some Pina Colada's for everyone at this point.
  3. Cory Engelhardt
    I'd really argue that IF he is healthy, there isn't anyone ahead of him in line. The STUFF is that good.
  4. Cory Engelhardt
    Even last year they took a catcher in the 3rd round (Diaw) and another in the 6th (Derek Bender.) Bender obviously isn't with the club, but they have shown they will take a guy that they like. I would be ok with Stevenson if he is the pick. That tells me their development team would be confident in tapping into his potential. But I'd also be ok with a catcher at 36, or 54 or 88. I do think a top 100 pick on a catcher could be likely, depending especially on how they see the development of both Diaw and even Cartaya (for different reasons) over the course of the season.
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    Yes the easiest path to him getting MLB time this year is in the bullpen. But really, if he can get stretched out enough, I hope they keep him as a starter. Best of luck to him with health this season.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    They did take Jeffers fairly high not THAT long ago. I'm not saying they will take a catcher at 16. Right now I'd imagine they won't. But just knowing that Jenkins and he have a connection means they can learn about who Stevenson is as a person fairly easily no? But yeah, take the best player at that point and go from there.
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    I like him too, and he and Jenkins definitely played together during high school tournaments in North Carolina, so the Twins would very much know if he is a person worth taking personality wise. That said, you still have to take the best player. We'll see if he is both A) available at 16, and B) if the Twins think he is the best option there.

    I can’t imagine a scenario where #2 happens and the new owner or ownership group is like “you know what, we do want Joe Pohlad to stick around, that’s a great idea!” Maybe I’m missing something here, but if I am fronting 1.5-1.7 billion for a team, I would want to own that team and call the shots. Heck, if I were paying $500 dollars I’d have the same answer

    The way they started the season, this truly would not shock me. That said, I truly do enjoy April fools day and the jokes it can bring. The article itself was outstanding :)
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    Keaschall yes, Rodriguez soon, and I'd be VERY open to Festa or Zebby for Paddack now, with the other coming up soon. I'd like Jenkins get some time in AA before that decision is made, and I'd keep Prielipp in AA for a bit too lengthen him out. Overall, they need to add life to the lineup. Keaschall and Rodriguez would do that. I also agree that both Festa and Zebby are better today than Paddack.
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    And Zebby. And Morris (probably.)
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    Ober’s velo was down, and even if at times it seemed he got squeezed a bit, his command was poor. That was not the 2024 Ober I saw today. Curious if he either isn’t built up enough or is fighting something. Plus, this lineup feels lifeless. Castro and Larnach both seem to have solid at bats. France has hit the ball hard in this series but a lot of balls hit at guys. Otherwise they are really missing a GUY. Nelson Cruz 2019 or 2023 Lewis helped this offense work. I would not be hesitant to add Keaschall and Rodriguez as soon as possible to inject life. I’m not saying by tomorrows game, but I don’t know how this lineup survives as currently constructed if they truly want Keaschall and Rodriguez to be in aaa for 2 whole months. Both would bring more life than a few options currently on the roster
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    They’ll both be up at some point. Excited to see them
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    It has been 2 whole games so far
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    This is a good question. Based on just his injury history, when he made the comment this offseason I assumed he was saying more that he wanted to be able to finish out the contract he currently has in a healthy way. We all hope for that, obviously. IF this year is different, then we can see how 2026 goes (and HOPEFULLY there isn't a major lockout taking out 2027, but right now that appears potentially likely.) All of this to say, if he does have 3 healthy seasons upcoming (I don't know, I can't see the future, it is possible/plausible in some ways) then we see where he is at come 2028. With Jenkins and Rodriguez on the horizon, among other moves, he will have to stay healthy and produce.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    Just wanted to add, I think they'll need to be aggressive and ready to add prior to the deadline. Not certain what it will be yet, but injuries may make that answer more obvious. Hopefully ownership group, be in the Pohlads or whoever at that point, (but right now it looks like the Pohlads) will allow the front office to make a deal or deals that will help the team. Otherwise, if there is good luck with health, I think the rest will get sorted out.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    I knew I should have made a point to attend today. But alas, my name is just not quite there. Maybe next year there will be a Cory-led event :)
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    What is worthwhile then? A long reliever who can give you multiple innings in relief is worthwhile no?
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    Not saying he will become great or anything, but aren't most relievers genearlly failed starters? Take a deep breath man. The last guy in the bullpen is not worth expelling so much energy over.
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    1) They could still keep Castellano via trade if possible. 2) Castellano averaged a walk per inning this spring. That is NOT sustainable. 3) Dobnak looked ok this spring, and he can give you bulk innings. Early in the season that's ok.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    I wouldn't want to waste a young starter in the 8th man in the bullpen role who will no doubt be designated again when Brock Stewart is ready in a few weeks. And frankly, Dobnak looked ok this spring. Not the worst thing to have a guy in the opening weeks who can give you multiple innings. Plus, way more things to actually be angry about.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    Dan Hayes keeps saying that he is hearing they are watching the waiver wire to pick up someone else to start the year. That's my guess on who is the 8th reliever, someone not currently in the organization.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    I would be interested in keeping Castellanos because he could be put at AA in the rotation. He is only 23, and he did show some things as far as stuff that could be valuable down the road. I wouldn't break the bank in trading for him, but we know they've liked his arm for a time. I'm not trading for him to help in 2025, but but adding arm talent is never really a bad thing.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    You aren't wrong. LOTS of teams have health issues in their rotations to start the year. I could see Jordan Montgomery being moved to a team at this point too from Arizona. But lots of teams are dealing with injuries to their pitching right now. Knock on wood, but the Twins are fortunate in that regard for today.
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    I can see this, Especially with knowing that you are probably going to use 15-20 guys in the bullpen (at minimum) throughout the year, then this makes sense.
