    Depends on the return. If you can get Jesus Luzardo in a package built around one of them, then make the deal

    Will a sushi recipe be shared? Thanks!

    100%^ I enjoyed it. Hook this stuff straight into an IV. It's fantastic! Unrelated, I want to also see Jeremy's sushi recipe/photos :)

    Wichita is going to be REALLY fun to watch this year. No doubt. I truly don't know a TON about Morris or Matthews either. Is there a 2nd part of the article coming with a breakdown on their stuff? Thanks Jamie!
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    I'm kind of with you on the expectations. It's hard to count on a guy being a 10 year regular, with some all star appearances possibly sprinkled in, and not be excited about that. I guess that's what I see, generally. Glad we have him too.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, betting on the under for any prospect is the safe bet, right? I don't know that he will ever be a 7 win type player. But I can totally see him fairly easily bringing at least what Polanco brought in good years, probably with more pop. The kind of guy you want in a lineup.
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    He only had about 100 plate appearances against lefties last year in the minors. That's not a HUGE sample, but you are right. He does need more at bats against left handed pitching ongoing to show a bigger picture. I don't see any way he comes up and is JUST a platoon option.
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    Agreed, no doubt. I think he shows a LOT in spring training, and I could see him being up VERY EARLY. He is very good, and I'm excited to have him in the lineup. If he is hitting .160 after the first month of him being up (whenever that is) he'll go down. I just don't expect his bat to perform that way.
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    I hate to say it, but I expect Polanco to be moved. Always liked him, but that's my guess. I also think Miranda has a place right now as a platoon with Kirilloff at 1B, and to face lefties all the time. If he shows more than that, good. I could also see the Twins bringing in a different right handed hitter to platoon with Kirilloff, but there will be space IF Miranda is going well right? There are guys that have things to prove. Larnach and Wallner for sure, although I think Wallner has a leg up there. I can see Kepler or Larnach getting traded too, but if they are trying to win I can see Larnach going elsewhere instead of Kepler. I LOVE Julien's eye at the plate, and his ability to hit fastballs. He also did show growth on the defensive side. We'll see how it all plays out. Generally things have a way of figuring themselves out. But I don't expect them to FORCE something that isn't ready.
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    That's what I figured. I wouldn't see an extension happening before the 2024 season, or possibly even during the season. But build trust and show that you are a good team to work with, and then figure it out this next summer/fall at some point. But yeah, I'd be getting him to help in 2024, and figure the rest out later on.
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    I think of it as, Correa is going to play 130 (or more) games at SS, hopefully Lewis plays 140 games at 3B and 1B and 2B and DH will all be guys who can rotate around. Same with the outfield. I'd imagine the Twins would be very happy with a number of guys getting 500 plate appearances right? There will be at bats for players that are going well.
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    38 games at AAA told you the entire story for Lee huh?
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    Yes, over both 2021 Miranda and possibly 2023 Wallner.
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    They can afford him, and they could afford an extension when it comes to that. I would probably mean moving off of some combo of Polanco/Kepler/Farmer in 2024, and all by 2025, but otherwise they can afford Burnes.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    Are you able to elaborate on the part where you said the Twins are still in contact with Milwaukee on a potential Corbin Burnes trade? That part piqued my interest. :) But I didn't know about today's arbitration deadline either. Thanks!
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    Just wanted to add; Ryan threw 165 2/3 innings last year, including his minor league numbers. I wouldn't be shocked to have him closer to 180 if he is healthy. Baily Ober, including minor leagues, threw 167 innings last year. I think he can get to that number too, just in the majors. This is a good discussion though. I do think Paddack will have his innings monitored as well, along with Varland (if he does completely stay in the rotation all year, even with Varland throwing a combined 149 2/3 innings.) Hopefully they add at least one more starter that can get to, at minimum, 165-180 innings. I am excited to see what SWR and Festa can bring, along with others, after these 6 or 7 (I say 6 or 7 because I think they add at least one playoff level starter, and probably another one too.)
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    There is the dh and outfield spots to move guys around IF everyone is healthy. When Lee is ready, he will be up. That’s not a bad thing
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    Maybe eventually. Not in 2024. I want Lewis to have a run of playing somewhere, being comfortable, and staying healthy. 2b maybe? 1b? Somewhere. His bat will play, and frankly I like his glove more than Julien’s too. Maybe that moves Julien to dh or left or something, but Lee will be up some how
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    I think you underestimate how good of a prospect Brooks Lee actually is. When he is ready there is space for him.
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    Not if a player is ready. You make room at that point right?
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Lee is a much better prospect, and more pro-ready, than you describe. When he is ready, there isn't anyone that will hold him back on the mlb roster.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    Yeah I wouldn't be shocked to see DeSclalfini retire after 2024. He's had so many arm issues over the years. Wish him well.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, we all watched Delmon and Josh Willingham "defend" in the outfield. Heck, Astudillo tried out there too. They even thought Sano would be a good option out there. Ugh.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    Why not have a scenario where Julien starts to use an outfielder's glove? Having him out in left field occasionally can't be the worst thing IF they have better options in the infield right?
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    I more meant, this way they can control innings and pitch count a smidge easier, and also make sure that he enters games at the start of innings to have a clean start (not with guys on base.) That's all.
