Fatbat

He wont need to be protected because no team will keep him on an active roster in ‘27. He isnt close enough to MLB yet.

Hey 2019 bomba squad season was super fun but it got us nothing but a hold over hangover for years. I would take 10 high obp guys on a roster with a couple sluggers and a base running specialist every time. The twins really have dropped the ball up until recently in drafting and trading for the best type of player to win consistently.

Plaid is a definite must! No purple either…. We dont need to steal from the Vikes… or Prince. And why can’t we have more than one color theme? Make the team spend some $$$$. Green plaid in the spring turning to red and orange in Autumn. Plenty of historic color patterns throughout the state!!

They both had fantastic seasons! I view Houston as #2 in the batting order if he gets the call up to MLB in ‘27. His Obp will likely be his calling card like LK so in coming years, the two of them will be a nightmare for pitchers to navigate. Jenkins will probably settle into the 4/5 slot and be an RBI machine! I honestly don’t care that he ran into a wall and got injured, I care more that he doesn’t do it again and become the next Buxton! To be the best, you have to play every game! For ‘26, I would give the award to Jenkins simply because he made it to MLB and did well getting his feet wet. Houston will be right behind him and likely called up to AAA if he shows even a little more development in spring training. He actually should probably start in AAA on opening day. Get him used to playing in cold weather!! It would be nice to not be able to give Houston the award for best prospect in ‘27 because he plays for the Twins as of June1!!

Reminds me of Larry Bird dropping 47 pts on the trailblazers LEFT HANDED and saving his right handed shot for the Lakers. Celtics won both game btw.

Its priority based decisions that blow up in every org but especially with the twins pitching staff. Someone constantly is sending risk out the door. Then they firesale the future expensive talent. Someone who made all those bad decisions better have been removed from the organization by now. We can’t keep them all but sending all the future talent away is why we are perpetually average.

KC likely has an assignment of adjusting to and not chasing breaking pitches out of the zone. Its a tougher adjustment that most prospects realize. i agree that this crop and the next two years of rookies wont all be stars but if they can be role players that produce positive WAR, the Twins will be playing October ball regularly!! We will need to buy a bullpen guy or two tho.

Witt and PCA…. No one is close to either of them.

Lee works best at 3B. He doesn’t have the range for 2B. Also, KC & MH up the middle, no ground balls get to the OF!

Houston’s ceiling is perennial allstar. Get him to St.Paul asap and promote him by july to varsity. LetsGO!!!

We need more pitching and baseballs. Sign them both and then trade them for a bag of balls and a potential belly itcher.

Martin is rowing that same boat.

They wouldn’t be missed much, unless they somehow become allstars!

Im not saying it’s the right thing to do. Just an observation based on previous experience. If only we could also get rid of Gray and Martin to get some decent bench depth….

100% Ober and Lewis get tendered. Ober goes to the bullpen to get 3-4 outs every other game. Cheap outs. Lewis get tendered because he is cheap and the FO will take a bet on him finally figuring it out. It also allows them to use him as a utility guy if doesn’t grow into a productive everyday 1B. Tall order but worth the $5M bet. Kremer and Banda will also be back because they provide value. One more season for Sands is probs 50/50.
