    I feel like they are waiting out Milwaukee and Corbin Burnes. It’s a perfect fit here for 2024.

    I’d be SHOCKED if Wallner were to go back to Saint Paul. SHOCKED. And why would a team carry a 4th outfielder that hits left handed when 2/3 of the outfield (Wallner and Kepler) also hit left handed? And Castro as the starting lf? Seriously?

    So I wasn’t able to make it to winter meltdown this year. I wanted to start a thread just for people to be able to respond and describe what the experience was like and what happened at the event. I imagine a fun time was had by all. Thanks for any comments/responses about the event in advance

    I love Julien too, he seems like a good kid and a hard worker. I think he is someone they can win with too
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    I apologize if I misstated it, but he did say he was told that he would get a lot of work at 1b too, but getting grounders in (due to not being as able to growing up in Quebec) is a focus. He did close that thought by saying he would play anywhere on the field if it helps the team win.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    I don’t know about that. Julien can still play 2b, or Lee, or Martin, or Farmer. Polanco (if he isn’t traded) could also be 2b/1b/dh right? Julien said it too, it’s a lot to do with matchups.
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    During the interview portion yesterday, Julien said he has been told he will be playing a lot of 1b this year. I don’t know what to make of that information, but I kind of like it.
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    Just curious, if you have Castro AND Gordon on your opening day bench, who else do you have there? To me, it’s hard to find a roster spot for Gordon, but I could be wrong

    100% count me in

    I’m too old for that now. How about we just have a good whiskey instead :)

    If he got Will Ferrell to go fishing with, I would agree :)
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    See, the first thing I thought of Will Ferrell's commercials he did for Busch Light years ago, so I googled it. I was wrong, they were for Old Milwaukee, but still, that's where my head went. Just to share, they are funny to me...
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    Maybe we owe each other a coke now? :)

    Twins sign Caleb Boushley to minor league deal. Had a cup of coffee up with the Brewers at the end of 2023, sounds like he is assigned to AAA St. Paul https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/01/twins-sign-caleb-boushley-to-minor-league-deal.html

    I'm not sure I can agree with saying that Cleveland "has enough offense." I mean, will there by 5 teams in baseball (Oakland not withstanding) that will have a worse lineup? I'm not certain. But their pitching should be really good once again.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    The Tigers run differential was -79, which equates to more of a 73 win season. Luck played a part. The Twins run differential was +119, which equates to more like a 94 win season. Luck also played a part. Getting Correa healthy (and not having plantar fascitis) along with Buxton able to play will arguably help more than any addition otherwise, no? Possibly add Miranda into that too. The Twins will be fine.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    Agreed on Witt. I could absolutely see him being the most talented player in the AL in 2024. Star is a good way of putting it.
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    At minimum, it’s good that the alleged bomb threats also weren’t bi-lateral in nature. Maybe that would make them too woke.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    I guess I was thinking maybe as bigger proposal to go after someone even like Christian Javier. I know he has an extension through 2027, and he had a down year in 2023 compared to 2022, but I've always really liked his stuff. Just a thought. But I agree, I'm not certain Kepler is A) Getting traded or B)Even a good fit in Houston.
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    This note came out a couple of days ago now, but I was curious if people saw a match for Kepler and Houston? I feel like Kepler is maybe trending towards being a Twin for 2024, but is there a fit in Houston that would make sense? What do you think? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/01/astros-trade-rumors-left-handed-outfielder-free-agency.html

    It's possible, but you are mostly going by rankings compared to how teams view prospects/players. Merrill has played 45 games in AA in his career, and his numbers were more fine than great. Does Miami think he is MORE ready to help now than Lee, or even like him more than Lee long term? That's up to them. Or if they really want Julien, who does SD have that's as good that has already been in the majors? I'm only saying, don't compare just prospect rankings. A lot of what matters is fit and how much a front office values a player. That's all. I'm not saying this to say that the Twins will be getting Luzardo or anyone. But I don't know that I'd say that San Diego 100%^ can get whoever they want while other teams can't.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    Detroit does seem like a fun/young team to follow. I do think losing both Rodriguez and Lorenzen from their 2023 rotation is a bigger loss than what adding only Maeda and Flaherty can bring back to them, at least so far. That said, Skubal and Reese Olson are absolutely fun to get behind. I don't think they have enough of a lineup yet, but they do have some prospects who are close. I don't like their pitching, overall, anywhere near as much as Cleveland or Minnesota as currently constructed. But I do like their lineup an awful lot more than Cleveland.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    Here is a question I'll throw out, just for fun. What is the best/realistic option that would make you the MOST excited for the Twins to acquire? I don't think Burnes is available anymore, so in a lot of ways I would be the MOST excited to get Luzardo. I don't know if that is possible, but for me, that is the best pitcher available (potentially.) I will add, I don't see Chicago trading Cease in division. Does anyone have someone that would be BETTER than Luzardo that could potentially be available? Framber maybe?
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    Just came here to say that expecting to get Alcantara AND Luzardo in one deal, that isn't related to fantasy baseball, couldn't at all be construed as reasonable. I mean, how in any way would the Marlins benefit from trading away 2 top of the line pitchers?
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    One could absolutely argue that Salas alone would be fair for Luzardo. He is THAT good of a prospect, and San Diego could even look dumb giving him up. They certainly wouldn't move both Merrill and Salas in a package for one player. It'd have to be a lot more coming back. Just my 2 cents. But yeah, Merrill would be a good starting point if Miami wanted to trade with San Diego for sure.
