  1. Curious if Tampa would listen on Arozarena. He's been really bad to start this year, but he has been a star before.
  2. Luzardo would be fantastic here. But I don't know if the Twins would be able to pay more in prospects/trade package than Baltimore would (for example) for his services. The deadline will be fun though.
  3. Andrelton has to be #1 though right. Oof was that bad. Signing him to be the starting SS and that's what they brought.
  4. I don't see Severino as an option at all. Too many guys way ahead of him on the pecking order, and his numbers at AAA are extremely poor right now. What about Zebby Matthews? I almost see him as being more ready as a starter than Raya at this point. I also don't see a way that Rodriguez doesn't get a shot sooner if he keeps hitting like this. He is on the 40 man, which certainly means he is a phone call away. Jorge Polanco, if I remember correctly, got recalled directly from high A initially, maybe mostly because he was on the 40 man. Prospects don't NEED to have time at each level to prove they are ready, so I'd imagine Rodriguez, if there is an opening, gets a shot before others do BECAUSE he is on the 40 man now.
  5. Maybe this sounds crazy (it may be) but I would go to Emmanuel Rodriguez first, before Keirsey. No doubt Keirsey is having a good year, but Rodriguez is also having a hot start to the season and is also already on the 40 man. I don't love that both are left handed hitters, just for roster makeup. But that's the lean I would take right now.

  7. Curious, Darren Bowen had been slated to start for Cedar Rapids yesterday, but John Klein did instead. Anyone know if there is an update on Bowen? Thanks!
  8. Great writeup, as always. Excited to see Darren Bowen some more. Looking forward to following that game tonight too.
  9. Let's say, hypothetically, they do take Moore at 21 (as of today that would be the pick I would love based on who could be available) but then who would be good to pair him at 33? Prep is probably the way they go right, but would you lean an arm or a position player at that point? Because, I gotta say, Moore at 21 and buying one of the many intriguing prep arms down to 33 sounds exciting to me.
  10. Gotta say, I really like the idea of Malcolm Moore. He has a solid bat that SHOULD translate, and the Twins, if anything, can help a catcher refine their skills, similar to what they did working with Jeffers early on (at least in theory.) Great write up as always!
  11. Lewis and Lee getting healthy will certainly help this lineup. IF everyone is healthy at that point, that'll be a good problem :)
  12. Great article as always Seth! Now I have the tune of "how much wood can a wood chuck chuck" but trying to tie it to Mitchell Stone's somehow. I haven't gotten it to work in my head yet, but there has to be something there, right? :)
  13. His stuff is still pretty elite, it's always been command of it. IF he can get to anywhere close to average command, his stuff will play. But you are right, this ain't SEC competition.
  14. So Brecht may be figuring a few things out. Over his last 3 starts, he has thrown 7 2/3, 7 and 8 innings respectively, with 3, 3 and 2 walks, and 12, 11 and 13 k's. 2 earned runs total in that span. If he continues this, he won't at all be available at 21.
  15. I would be excited if the twins took Brecht. I don’t know how much to trust his command overall, but if they took him, that would tell me their trust their development enough to get him to meet his ceiling (even if his floor is a reliever potentially.)
  16. Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.
  17. What is a more probable Minnesota sports thing to happen? 1) They stick at 11 and 23, take bpa (one probably being a qb) and roll with it. (Maybe it "works" or maybe it doesn't, but most likely this doesn't end in a super bowl over the next 5 years right?) 2) They trade an enormous amount of draft capital for a QB they want, and it is exciting. They go on to win the super bowl in 2027. 3) They trade an enormous amount of draft capital for a QB they want, and it is exciting. By 2029, people don't talk about the Herschel Walker trade anymore, they talk about the Maye/McCarthy/Daniels trade. Historical Minnesota sports aside, will there be anything but schadenfreude from this draft? I'd like to say I hope not, but I guess we will find out. That said, I want them to get and get their guy too, just like others have mentioned here. You have to try, right?
  18. Gotta say, I'm hoping for Drake Maye to be a Viking. I don't know how much I want to articulate beyond that, but getting a guy that they believe in at QB is what I am hoping to see. Anyone else?
  19. Record wise, 6-11 is exactly how the 1991 Twins started. But yeah, the offense just isn't there right now.
  20. I'm curious if there is a comparison for ANY 17 game stretch for any season of the last 50 years? Why do the first 17 games feel like it means more, when a 17 game stretch in June not as much? Not defending the Twins here. It's been atrocious at the plate. But there have to be worse 17 game stretches during a season, right?
