    Whatever works. I think he has a place in a major league roster, but if they are attempting to upgrade their outfield I'd make a lot of things work.
  2. Cory Engelhardt
    Martin was recalled already with Kirilloff being sent down yesterday. I do think his bat will help up here with how he has been doing. I'd love to be wrong, but I have a hard time projecting Wallner to be a real help. Severino too. The strikeout rates, even with power, is difficult for me to really get behind.
  3. Cory Engelhardt
    I have a hard time seeing Margot leave any time soon. He has started to produce a bit more. Lee will be up when he is ready. How does Severino improve the roster in any way? I guess I just don't see it.
  4. Cory Engelhardt
    I was going to add, Margot is starting to hit a little too it feels like. Hard to see either being that close to being cut/dfa'd.
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    I'll add, I think they very well could jettison a number of their veterans (either via dfa or actually receiving some B or C level prospect) in favor of their younger guys AND trade to add to the roster.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    Keaschall to me is absolutely in number of players who could be an outfield option too, in my opinion
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    Their salary overall isn't that bad. Plus with (probably) Kepler and Farmer and Margot and Vazquez and Santana (among others) all leaving after the year, some of this can be looked at to add salary too. Especially if they add a hitter who is signed through only this year, that's not hard to add. I'm NOT saying they will add Pete Alonso, but he is a free agent after the year, and his remaining salary for 2024 would be under 5 or 6 million by the deadline. That's not a huge dollar amount. We'll see.

    I think they will/should be open to adding a right handed hitter who can be 1b/corner outfield with some pop. I like Miranda's season so far, but they need one more option that can fill in somewhere. I also think they should be open to a starting pitcher. I don't know if that means Luzardo, but he would be awesome here. After that, I could also see moving off some veterans. It wouldn't be "selling" per se, but that makes sense to me too.

    Good thing it's not his left arm :)
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    Just saying, I don't subscribe to this defeatist mentality. If we have the chance to be in the playoffs, anything can happen. I certainly hope they attempt to add before the deadline, and the goal every year SHOULD be to be playing your best come September/October.

    I have a really hard time, at the moment, keeping Festa over Zebby. Yes Festa has good stuff, but Zebby has the look more of a starter than Festa does. Unless Festa's command takes a huge spike up at some point, I still see a very good reliever when I see him. I'd love to be wrong. Zebby looks more like a starter, so I'd move him up a tier. I also wouldn't be itching to trade Keaschall either. That contact rate is really hard to ignore. My top tier would be close to the same, but I'd listen on Lee depending on the move.
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    It sure was. I'm just waiting for someone to grill their foot in a foreman grill ala Michael Scott at this point.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    I had to read that line again of what happened. Did he just fall asleep while having the heat pack on? How does that happen? And can heating packs get THAT hot on their own? None of that makes any sense to me.
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    @Jamie CameronWould you consider Keaschall to be a fast riser prior to the 2022 draft?
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    Awesome as always!
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    Lee continuing to play SS is good. IF he gets recalled and is set to play another position, that SHOULD be ok right? I also see Cade Povich is starting for Baltimore today. Wish him well.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    If the draft fell this way, I'd much more (at this point) want the Twins to take any of the following 3 picks instead of Jordan. Brecht, Christian or Malcolm Moore all interest me more than Jordan. He is a great athlete, but I question the strikeout rate in college getting better in the pros. Slade Caldwell also would be a homerun at 21 in my opinion. Really fun to see mocks start to hit twinsdaily though. Thanks!
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    Curious if Tampa would listen on Arozarena. He's been really bad to start this year, but he has been a star before.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    Lopez and Luzardo are really close friends in real life fwiw
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Andrelton has to be #1 though right. Oof was that bad. Signing him to be the starting SS and that's what they brought.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    I just want it to help make the Tommy Herr trade right. Can Keaschall do that too?
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    Sign me up.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
