    He had shoulder issues even before spring training 2023. He didn't play 3b at all until the last game(s) of spring training because he couldn't throw. I HAVE to think that played a part in him not hitting well, even early on this past season. If his shoulder is right, I have quite a bit of faith that he can bounce back a bit in 2024. I don't know that that means for production, but I do think it'll be better than what his 2023 showed.

    I like the idea, and I appreciate the research. I'd prefer a more top-of-the-rotation type arm. But he is young, cheap for a long time, and has shown some success. IF Baltimore is open to trading any pitching they have (are they?) and the Twins see something to unlock, then this isn't a crazy idea. That said, our best potential trade chips are young bats. Where is a spot that Baltimore needs more bats? It seems like they would mostly be in the market to add pitching as well? Or are you thinking of trading some of our young arms for him?

    This is so good. Thank you for sharing the great news!

    Would be nice for Lewis to have a full and healthy season in 2024. If he is preparing for 3b, I say let him stay there and get comfortable next to Correa. Figure out 2b after that, be it Lee or Julien. This team needs a healthy season out of Lewis, and he is fine at 3b. He has had so much turmoil (athletically) over the last few years, so put him at 3b for now and keep him there. If he does eventually move to 2b, fine: just doesn’t have to be right now is all

    I’d absolutely be open to someone with a one year deal left (Corbin Burnes for example) if they can fit in as a high impact starter for 2024. I wouldn’t say the same for someone who wouldn’t slot in as a playoff level arm

    I think they are aware that the world series has been completed, and that today is 12/18/2023.
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    Make it happen :)

    Except Priester is an actual prospect, and threw about 160 combined innings last year. He would be our 5th starter out of the game I'd have to imagine, above Varland. I'd still want someone else, but it's not the worst idea here at all.
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    100% on board with this
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    We are very near Christmas now, and I’d imagine there won’t be any moves, for any team, between then and the early part of the start of the year. But yeah, hopefully they make the right moves this offseason
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    I’m not saying they need one or not. But they have been connected to some this offseason
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    JD Martinez, Justin Turner, Jorge Soler, and there are others. It sucks waiting, but there are bats out there still
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    He is under arbitration through 2028. I’d imagine he is extended before then (barring injury) but his 2027 salary, in almost every sense, won’t be as expensive as Correa for sure, and probably not even Buxton
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    I saw on Instagram that Jose Miranda is now a Boras client. Just thought that was interesting. I hope he is healthy going into the spring
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, I do this.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    Thank you, I really do appreciate it.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    Or any
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    I do like the idea of zagging as a concept. I’m not sure it would be via the free agent route, but I like the thought process
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    He is 26, and I would absolutely trade Lee to get Luzardo
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    Ok, so Joe Ryan numbers I can pull. I HOPE I get this right :) Hard hit percentage 2021 = 29.2 2022 = 30.6 2023 = 32.6 so you are right, this has gone up each season. But he is still MUCH lower than either Gilbert or Kirby in this regard. See below. Homerun rate, which is that homerun percentage of flyballs? 2021` = 11.8 2022 = 9.5 2023 14.9 The 2023 number is crazy. Through June he was at 10.4 percent, and July onward he was 21.2%^ Get him back to the 10.4 percent, and that is a solid number. For comparisons, Logan Gilbert had this hard hit percentage 2021 = 44.6 2022 = 45.6 2023 = 44.6 Homerun rate for him 2021 = 10.9 2022 = 9.2 2023 = 13.3 George Kirby Hard hit rate 2022 = 38.0 2023 = 40.9 Homerun rate 2022 = 9.0 2023 = 10.7

    It's a measurement that Eno Sarris came up with in the Athletic. It combines your command and your pitch movement (someone correct me here) to show how overall your stuff plays. He was top 4 or 5 in all of AAA last year in terms of this ranking. Also, he did have a good run to really finish the year in St. Paul. Starting June 1 through the end of the season (14 starts) he was 7-1 with a 3.65 era, and in 79 innings he gave up only 61 hits, he did have 44 walks (that's really high?!?!) and had 68 k's. Get him to driveline this offseason, get his average fastball to 93-94, and I think you have something.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    So I started digging into the numbers a bit, and I got distracted. His 2nd half of 2023 was really bad, but his first half and his 2022 were about league average, even with his 2nd half of 2022, at least in terms of the homerun rate and the hard hit rates. I'll try to pull up numbers later tonight or tomorrow. Stupid work getting in the way of fun :)
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    The swoon was a LOT worse this year, but that is fair.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    I do appreciate the creativity :)
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    And see, pre-injury Ryan is better than he was in the postseason, no?
