    I’d argue that not one of the things you mentioned here is true.
  3. Cory Engelhardt
    I wouldn’t trade Buxton. But I get what you are saying. And I agree, if Bellinger is even 80% of what he was in 2023, that’s a VERY good player, regardless of his position. But yeah, if they were to sign him, then it would open up more options for trading young position players for a pitcher.
  4. Cory Engelhardt
    I’d love Montgomery too.
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    I’ll only say, if this were to happen (and I don’t at all expect it) to me it signals that they both A) Think Bellinger is a large upgrade over what they trust Kirilloff to be able to do, and B) Make it easier to trade a different young hitter, or prospects, for pitching. Bellinger easily could be our primary 1b against righties, as well as dh or outfield against lefties right?
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    Erod is left handed. Santana is still a great fielder, and can play a lot, especially against lefties. Bellinger walks a ton and doesn’t strikeout much. And he has power. And he can play a good 1b and a good outfield, There is a fit here, if he actually would come here.
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    See, I think IF this were to happen, it would more be for 1B and having the ability to back up/play CF. Certainly he can play in a corner as well, but I don't know that Kepler would HAVE to go. It also, arguably, would make it easier to trade someone like Wallner, or Kirilloff, or a few others for a starter. But yeah, I don't see it. Not even sure he would want to play here. Fun to dream though.
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    Got it. Yeah I saw a random thing on instagram earlier that the Twins might be interested, but it didn't have an article or link. Probably just some random person throwing stuff at the wall. Would be fun though :)
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    What was the source?
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    SUPER excited to see how his 2024 goes. He has the tools to stick as a starter.
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    I agree, and hopefully they all pitch well, and stay healthy, so it works out.
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    They used 22 relievers (and 2 position players) last year specifically as a reliever or opener. I wouldn't be shocked at all if the number this year is north of that. But they have at least that number in guys who have some major league experience. That's a good thing too.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    This article is really going to look GREAT after they do add a playoff level starter. But it's good to have a good bullpen
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    I'm curious why you have Jay Jackson not listed as a lock? Frankly, Okert is a lock too in my opinion, what with being out of options. The bullpen does appear strong, with a lot of depth.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    Once again, this episode was great. LOVE your guys' work! Jeremy throwing out the idea of Montgomery on a shorter term deal here. He wouldn't cost a draft pick (which helps) and having a decent-ish relationship with Boras certainly doesn't hurt. My question; do you think that rumor has legs? Thanks!
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, they added Paddack on opening day a few seasons back. If you are Falvey, and you want moves to happen before opening day, there is still a month and a half to go right?
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    I think SWR should be added to that depth list too, but I agree. It's something that managing innings will be important for everyone, but maybe especially Paddack. He is only getting paid 2.5 million for this season, so maybe that is part of the plan already, having him available for 100ish innings, and monitor them closely?
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    They have a logjam (if you want to call it that) because they have a number of talented players for specific roles. That's a good thing. Injuries have always been a thing. It'll get worked out. When someone gets hurt, we have depth/quality behind them. I hope/anticipate they will still make a trade. I don't anticipate Lewis being traded anywhere. The DH spot is always still available. Basically, I wouldn't worry about this on 2/14/24. Things have a way of working themselves out.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    Lots of offseason still to go. I'm curious what the rotation will look like August 1.
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    I'll add to this; if/when they do add another starting pitcher; the stretch/long reliever role could go to both DeScalfani and/or Paddack throughout the season too no? It's good to have depth.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Pierson Ohl, but yeah, it'll be interesting to see where he starts the season.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    Got it, misunderstood your response, but yeah, agreed. :)
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    Count me in the camp of thinking SWR should be ahead of Dobnak, and probably Festa, at least early in 2024. But yeah, otherwise, agreed.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    Cool to see Balazovic stick with the organization. Hopefully a full reset for him can get him going.
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    Timelines for high-end guys on when to move up a level or not are just so hard to guess. He certainly could start at the FSL/low A and be there for 2 whole months to start the year, but I could see high A cedar rapids even faster if things go well. AA by the end of the year feels fast, but that's only because there aren't that many ELITE level prospects to compare him to. It will be fascinating to see how this year goes for him. Wishing for good health.
