    I get the sense that Bell and Caratini both could be ahead of Clemens on the 1b depth chart right? I'd be open to being wrong, but it's hard to see a true role for him that makes sense. This roster is so confusing still.
  2. Cory Engelhardt
    I wouldn't put money on Raya staying as a starter any longer. I also don't know why we are assuming that Clemens still has an obvious spot on the team either.
  3. Cory Engelhardt
    I keep coming back to, what if Jackson is the true backup catcher in a sense, and Caratini does catch some but is treated MORE like Donovan Solano was? It's not like Caratina grades out all that super defensively at catcher, and Jackson's arm to throw out runners is pretty strong. I also still would be shocked if both Larnach and Wallner are on the team opening day. I THINK Larnach will be traded at some point and it's weird it hasn't happened yet.

    I haven't seen anything to show that Fedko would be a better defender or a better runner than Roden.

    IF they go the trade route to add a reliever, that'll be interesting to see what they focus on as far as they type of pitcher they target. I would not move Bradley or Abel or Zebby or Prielipp or SWR to the rotation. Morris frankly I'd keep in the rotation in AAA too. If Prielipp and Morris are in the rotation in St. Paul that's fine, and frankly one of the others (Zebby or Abel or both) also start the year in St. Paul, I'd prefer to keep the depth too. All of them will start games throughout the year in the majors, and before the trade deadline (if there aren't other injuries) there will definitely be openings to earn right? One or both of Ryan and Ober for sure, as well as Pablo, are all maybe on other teams come August.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    I agree with that, but there will probably be at least one injury in spring training to account for. At least that's pretty normal each year. Hopefully they sign or trade for at least one more late inning reliever. And it's good to have depth for both the rotation and the bullpen anyway.
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    Gotta say, I wouldn't move Prielipp out of the Saint Paul rotation to start the year, and I wouldn't move Zebby off starting either. Festa I agree with. I mean, look ahead to July; they are going to most likely move Ryan before August 1, and maybe even one or both of Ober and Pablo right? Maybe not all, but some. And there is no way that only 5 starters go the year anyway.

    I love roster projections before the offseason is done. This to me is a sign that a move or two is coming in the next 24 hours. Still fun to read. Thanks!

    If we play this out, would this make anyone more open to then trading Ryan? Let’s say they could get Valdez for 3-4 years. Would turning around and trading Ryan for a good young defensive SS be a smart move? Ryan certainly isn’t going to extend here for only that amount of time. Just a thought
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    He appears to have the makings of being a very good reliever if his shoulder is healthy. It'll be fun to see how he looks this spring.
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    I was going to say, maybe the real scapegoats are the friends we met along the way? :)
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    Gabriel Gonzalez may change your mind on this still at some point. And certainly, Polanco's FIRST year in Seattle (before he resigned there) was really bad too.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    I can't put the 2025 deadline in the worst decisions pile yet. Too much data to see longer term. The others I agree with. Just to have another transaction instead, I think 3 years for the production that Vazquez contributed could be up there. But I imagine there are many others too.
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    Um, wow.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    Go for it! :)
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    I'm taking that over. Frankly I'd take the over if it was set at 80.5. Please know that I might either be committed, or I should be :)
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, Ryan is about 3 months younger. I wouldn't say he's YOUNGER. They would have been in the same grade at the same time in school no?
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    They've gotten more trades right when they've sold players compared to when they are trading in the buy window. And certainly no one expects Ryan to get extended, so in that sense it is a ticking clock so to speak. I MIGHT be crazy, but I can see a window that they keep Lopez longer than his current deal. I certainly see him around longer than I do Ryan in that sense.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    I think if they truly are looking at maximizing value, then Ryan is the one to listen on. I'm not saying I want to trade him. But he would bring the most value back.
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    Thank you!
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Remind me, would any of the first four names mentioned have to be on the opening day roster to qualify?
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    I actually do think the offense will probably be fine. And I do think the bullpen will get sorted. I worry the most about the defense generally. Unless they do make actual changes from the current group of corner outfielders and also see pretty major improvement up the middle at SS and 2B, I have a hard time seeing real progress.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    Then IF that is the determination, maybe they end up trading Wallner? I can't see how all of these pieces actually mesh and work well together
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    Just throwing out; Wallner very easily could end up dh'ing too. Who would you rather have as a primary DH option against righties? Larnach or Wallner?
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    I still don't see it. I think really your argument is one that the team should be showing to other teams as to why trading for him makes sense. That said, there are SO many other players you listed, even in the locks section, that I'm not certain are locks, at least for all of 2026. Like, can you GUARANTEE that Kody Clemens is a part of the team on May 1, especially if Outman AND Larnach are on the team? Why? And Jenkins and Rodriguez certainly will also debut at some point.
