  1. They have a LOT of depth right now. NOT trying would be a slap in the face to the current major league roster no?
  2. They have decent depth. They have to add if they want to make an actual playoff push. This is their window. They can certainly add between now and August 1, and they will continue to build depth no? What is the harm in continuing to try?
  3. You mention trading for Luis Castillo instead of Tyler Mahle. I also know everyone (myself included) wanted Frankie Montas during that season. We see how that worked out for the Yankees. Can you 100% say that if the Twins had acquired Luis Castillo that he would have stayed healthy? I mean, he has stayed healthy, but point #1 is that pitching is not natural for the human body to do, so pitching itself causes the injuries right? I'm glad the front office is ok with taking swings. I'm disappointed they didn't add an impact starting pitcher this offseason (that was the word choice they had this past fall/offseason.) They do have quite a bit of depth it seems, but I still expect one to be added at some point.
  4. SWR is regularly hitting 93 and 94 this spring. I’m excited to see how he looks when games start. Canterino is on the injured list with shoulder inflammation.
  5. They have been as aggressive in adding, this front office, as any team during their tenure, especially the last 3 years or so
  6. Is Martin a better center fielder and option against left handed pitching than Margot? I don’t know that I can say that. I’m incredibly high on Martin and his future still, but Margot has skills too
  7. I do expect a trade for a playoff level starter at some point between now and the August deadline. But I agree, for now, I think they have the depth to make it work.
  8. I don't think it will happen at all, but Blake Snell IS a Twin. His Twin brother is an assistant coach at Shoreline Community College north of Seattle. Just wanted to throw that out there :)
  9. Buxton had been in the starting lineup, but pulled for caution as he had some lower back tightness. Hopefully it's nothing major.
  10. Herbert's cap hit to the Chargers is pretty extensive, and he has a no trade clause. He is good, and still young. I'd just imagine the front office want a young guy to hang their hats on. Very much willing to be wrong.
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. 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!
  14. As the Saints always have said, fun is good!
  15. 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
  16. 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?
  17. Mr Ed played baseball. It was a whole thing.
  18. 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.
  19. Did we not have Zach Granite to trade away anymore for an ace?
  20. 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.
  21. F cancer. Wish him the best.
  22. 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.
  23. *Knocks firmly on wood... YES! I agree! And great article @Nate Palmer!!!
  24. 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.
