    I feel like an opening day projection should just have a spot set aside for a right handed hitting outfielder on the bench or at dh (they are going to add one) as well as a tbd starting pitcher addition. But otherwise this looks good
  2. Cory Engelhardt
    I wouldn't at all hate Ryu if they aren't able to make a trade at this time. I could get behind that.

    This came up on mlbtraderumors today. I have to say, I'd almost be angry if Syndegaard were added. If the Dodgers couldn't fix him, he is probably done. My opinion is this signals they are going to add a starter, and still most likely via trade. Of the players listed, I only really think that Lorenzen and Ryu could constitute a potential upgrade over DeScalfani and Varland. The rest, I'd consider as a minor league depth type signing. Your thoughts? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/twins-rumors-michael-lorenzen-noah-syndergaard.html

    When he is ready, he will be up. Can't wait to see him play. Maybe that's at 1b or 2b or even primarily dh, but he will be up.
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    His numbers do look solid. Is this going to come down to he vs Thielbar? Or instead, is he the 2nd lefty in the bullpen over Funderburk? Lots of guys do have options
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    I’d be surprised if Jenkins was still eligible. Otherwise this is a fun topic. Thanks
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    Count me in the group that they will add a starter. And with that, whoever it is, there will be people who are mad that it isn't a "bigger" name. As always, don't read the comments :) But I am fairly certain they will add.
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    I've read that he should be ready for spring training. I guess we'll find out soon if that is true.

    You can have personality and still be great in a clubhouse.
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    Also lends to the reason they haven’t been tied to some players over the years in free agency, like Clevinger or Bauer or Chapman. They want good people in the clubhouse. That’s a good thing
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    I see Gordon as having the most to lose, in terms of a numbers game. Larnach and Miranda both have options, so there is still opportunity for them to find their footing this season. Kirilloff, if healthy, will get every opportunity to perform. The interesting thing to me is what will happen IF everyone is healthy AND Brooks Lee is ready.
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    See, I think it is fair to get an arm like Keller back. I wouldn't trade him for someone who is older with less team control, but Keller is the type of guy that another "tweak" could get into the #2 starter type realm (in my opinion.)
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    I think I had the same love for Birbiglia that you mention. That is a great joke :) Sign me up 100% on Keller. Him being an Iowa/Cedar Rapids kid doesn't hurt for marketing/advertising either. He would be a GREAT addition here, and truly what you lay out wouldn't KILL the farm system as much as I anticipated.
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, his best year is certainly way more than any other pitcher the Twins have has gotten to. I also have to think, if the Twins get him, they believe he is a tweak away to getting the most out of him, right? I keep bringing this up because there FEELS like a lot of smoke around him being moved all offseason. I guess we'll see if it actually happens or not.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    He did have 57 total at bats in September, so it's a fairly small sample. His August, 79 at bats (this feels so small too) he had over a 1,000 ops. But yes, you are right, we'll have to see how he looks coming up this spring.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    This article is fascinating, and I really appreciate your work. He is only set to make 2.5 million this season. Because of that, I could very easily see him be in the role of starter for a while and long reliever for a while too, to manage innings. Hopefully health works for him. Thanks!
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    But, he did finish last year really well. Like REALLY well.
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    https://www.si.com/mlb/twins/news/what-would-it-cost-the-twins-to-trade-for-dylan-cease#:~:text=Dylan Cease is clearly on,Corbin Burnes from the Brewers. The offer here is Lee, Raya or Prielipp, and the comp round A pick they got for Sonny Gray signing with St. Louis.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    Then maybe it is Duvall, or a trade, instead of where I listed Miranda. That's totally fine too right?
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    He is an athlete, and he has mostly played cf and 2b at St. Paul. I'd imagine if he can play CF, he can handle a corner spot well. I'm not certain if he was taken out of cf late in games, but I'd be surprised.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Isn't that Castro's role?
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    I hope Kirilloff can stay healthy, but as of now I can't start him defensively over Santana at 1B. I am leaning toward Kirilloff being the primary dh, certainly against righties, as Santana has a good glove. Here is what I would do, and not in batting order, just position order (this is all subject to change if they add another bat, and of course, depending on health.) Against righties C Jeffers 1B Santana (but maybe Miranda is here?) 2B Julien SS Correa 3B Lewis LF Wallner CF Buxton RF Kepler DH Kirilloff Against lefties C Vazquez 1B Santana 2B Farmer SS Correa 3B Lewis LF Castro CF Buxton RF Kepler (or Martin? Or a different right handed bat?) DH Miranda (is he healthy?) I mean, perfect world they sign Bellinger to be the primary 1B against righties and the CF or corner outfielder against lefties. But that's not happening.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    Why is Gordon a better dh option against righties than either Julien or Kirilloff? And that's WITH Buxton being healthy to play in center. Anyway, not hating on Gordon. It's very much a numbers game.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    You don’t think an injury, being traded, and missing a college season with the pandemic had anything to do with it? Seriously though, what role does Gordon play on this team? I’m not hating on him, he is a major league player. I’m just struggling to find his role. Duvall, he is also fine, I guess.
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    Just curious why you think he is rated too high?
