  1. Mr Ed played baseball. It was a whole thing.
  2. This was awesome as usual. I also learned there are a number of different ways to spell horsey (horsy, horsie) so hopefully they did look up all the variations in the mlb rule book. That rule book is LONG.
  3. Did we not have Zach Granite to trade away anymore for an ace?
  4. I am not on twitter anymore, but I saw that the twins player development twitter handle shared video of him the other day. His stuff looks ELECTRIC. Should be fun to follow.
  5. F cancer. Wish him the best.
  6. I'll admit, I overlook him as a prospect/option for the pitching staff. But he has a decent fastball, decent command, and he is left handed and breathing. Hopefully he takes some strides with adding a splitter, and with that can take a step forward.
  7. *Knocks firmly on wood... YES! I agree! And great article @Nate Palmer!!!
  8. I'll throw Lee, Martin and Miranda into this group too. They will all play at some point, and all have shown solid contact rates/low K rates in their careers so far. They will still have guys that strike out often on this team, but they definitely have more players with low strikeout rates compared to 2023.
  9. I'm not the one making player decisions for a baseball team that we follow though, am I? I mean, if every team or every brand or every corporation in this world had to align with every single thing that I agree with, then I wouldn't be able to function or live in a society right? This is just a baseball game in the end. The Twins made such a large point when they signed Nelson Cruz that they wanted him for his bat AND for how great he will be in the clubhouse. Having a strong clubhouse, they've said on a number of occasions, is something that they strive for, as it helps build winning in their opinion. I will say, IF Falvey were to agree to sign someone like Clevinger, I would think the team would be comfortable signing him and adding him to the clubhouse. Doesn't mean I have to like it or not, it just means that Falvey et al decided he could be a fit. Based on their past acquisitions, I'd be surprised.
  10. I never said that. But Falvey certainly knows him from his time in Cleveland. You don’t think Falvey (and others) have the entire book on player personality fits?
  11. Falvey certainly knows of his potential character fit, no? And even if charges never came, strong allegations of both domestic abuse and child abuse don’t work well with a healthy clubhouse
  12. I like Varland, SWR and Canterino all more. Festa eventually too, and Dobnak more than most on this list. I think depth wise they are ok. When they add a pitcher, I want it for the front of the rotation
  13. Their run differential last year pointed to more of a 94 win team, and that was without a healthy Lewis, Buxton and Correa. That over for win total is an easy one for me. All of the others seem more fair on their own
  14. I think the team momentum never stopped. Just because fans want something to happen or not didn't change that at all right? What momentum did the team actually lose? I'm not seeing it.
  15. AI, the idea of it and all, kind of freaks me out a bit. That said, reading of Bonnes as one of these makes me want to put that request in an ai generator to see what it looks like. Can anyone do that for us?
  16. Plus with Emmanuel Rodriguez and eventually Walker Jenkins coming down the pike, the options in the outfield (with Wallner et al) will be fascinating to follow.
  17. I think IF his shoulder his healthy, and he can get back to even 80%^ of what he was in 2022, Jose Miranda is a closer Solano comp. Miranda's career strikeout rate is more like 15-18%^, which is a LOT less than Severino. We will see how healthy his shoulder is, but I'd absolutely give Miranda a chance on the 26 man a LOT faster than I would Severino.
  18. This is PROBABLY the opening day roster (and it will change by game 5, as always) but I have a hard time saying the offseason is DONE every with this front office. Should be a great season ahead!
  19. He is only 28, and can play a good up the middle position defensively. But yeah, his 2021-2022 seasons give a ton of pause. This will be an earn-it type season upcoming
  20. Bellinger back to the Cubs. 3/80.
  21. Also gives a point for the type of pitcher they were wanting, which is interesting too.
  22. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/al-central-notes-twins-miller-valera-carpenter.html
  23. Still a ton of value for this season though
  24. Santana is a very good defensive 1b who will get a lot of at bats against left handed pitching
