    Drake Maye was coached in high school by new QB's coach Josh McCown. Not that that means anything by itself, but to me it's interesting. McCown was also a teammate with Sam Darnold with the Jets the season Darnold was a rookie.

    I'm really not much of a football fan any longer. But the draft is still always fun. Hopefully they get their QB. Anyone have a favorite they can try and get?
  3. Cory Engelhardt
    This was a fun one too. You guys do a great job! Thanks! I'd be curious what you would think/guess would be what the Twins would be looking at #21 and #33. In my head they would lean in to catcher for one of the spots and college pitching for the other, just going off of what Sean Johnson has always said, that they lean into the strengths of the draft. But I'm curious what you guys would think would be what they are focusing on. Have a great day!

    As the Saints always have said, fun is good!
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    Agreed completely. 5th starters, middle relievers, quality bench players; those types of guys aren’t set to make big money like they would have 10 years ago

    It's so difficult for me to get mad about overall salaries for any team with the way that younger players get paid (even stars) compared to older/veteran players. I'm not certain how to fix that, but players being cheap/controlled for 6+ years once they make the majors certainly helps good teams have lower payrolls overall no?

    Mr Ed played baseball. It was a whole thing.

    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.

    Did we not have Zach Granite to trade away anymore for an ace?
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    F cancer. Wish him the best.
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    *Knocks firmly on wood... YES! I agree! And great article @Nate Palmer!!!
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    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.

    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.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    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?
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    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
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    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
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    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
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, there is a reason they chose to add him via trade no?
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    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?
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    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!
