    I had already forgotten about this deal….
  2. Fatbat
    You might need a follow up article that has the subject, what did we ever do without Lewis and “ welcome Brookes Lee to MPLS.”
  3. Fatbat
    DFA Pagan and we automatically win 3 more games this season. Add funderbunk or any other young pitcher to the 40 man roster so it creates another over the river card shuffle. Problem solved. 100 wins here we come.

    I would take a ken griffey jr all day long at 5 but I think Max Clarke will be gone by 5. I’m still on the Dollander train. He has been trying to mix in a 4th pitch and it seems to have taken his focus off of just throwing strikes and punching out hitters the way he is capable of…. At least last year. I wont be disappointed at who ever is taken at 5 as its a great problem to have. Hopefully its the last time we pick in the lottery for many years to come. Who ever they get, I hope he gets on the fast track to all star status!

    Dollander has been a little inconsistent but has pitched well. Just not lights out like Skenes. He still has ace written all over him. I don’t care what position player is available at 5 either. We need to draft and develop pitching.
  6. Fatbat
    We should be drafting pitching at 5 and 34. Dollander if he is still there at 5 (Skenes will be gone) and anyone of these guys at 34. We have plenty of position players in the system to cover the turnover rate for the next 3 seasons but we are definitely lacking in topend pitching prospects!
  7. Fatbat
    Does the lack of offense (which itself is an issue) actually have to take the blame for a guy that admitted that he lost focus of his job?
  8. Fatbat
    Royce Lewis’s return is gonna be the end of Willi Castro.
  9. Fatbat
    If his ops stays over 1.000 for the rest of 2023… who cares how many times he wiffs. But yeah. Be selective young man.

    I see buck and C4 more as mentors to the core thats coming soon. Lee, Lewis, Erod and Raya. Throw in Ryan and this years #5 pick and add them to Lopez and Duran and you will have a real deep/long window for multiple playoff runs. We aren’t going to be drafting in the top ten again anytime soon.
  11. Fatbat
    Can we DFA Pagan yet and bring up Ober for the long term?
  12. Fatbat
    AK is going to get playing time when he is healthy because he has a way higher ceiling than Solano and Gordon…
  13. Fatbat
    I agree! I hope for Neto’s sake that the lack of milb development doesn’t mess him up long term. In the same thought light tho, I can see Lee getting the August call up if he is crushing it in AA and we keep sending guys to the IL all summer long. If Erod does the same in Iowa, he will likely be moved up to AA in June or July. As always I worry that Buxton will trip on a blade of grass and end his season early which could then lead to Erod being on the post season roster and since it seems like he lives for the big moments…. He could be given a spot to show off….
  14. Fatbat
    Maybe the Yankees have always tried to cheat and are finally getting caught.
  15. Fatbat
    The Angels just called up Zach Neto who was drafted 5 spots after Brookes Lee. They say he is up for the long term and have moved former Twin Gio Urshela to first base. I’d prefer that the Twins move a little slower in developing all the youngsters on the above list but I cant help but wonder if at least 3 of them are with the varsity when we make a deep run in the playoffs this October!
  16. Fatbat
    So far “ the next man up “ has worked out well but thats only because of the depth that we have. At this attrition rate, all the kids from cedar rapids will be called up in august.
  17. Fatbat
    Farmer and Solano were great signings! Castro is meh…. Much like a bologna sandwich… the young guns are going to own this team by September!!!
  18. Fatbat
    He had 1 tough inning the other day and gave up a bad dinger but has looked great otherwise. He’s going to be fun to watch for the foreseeable future!!!
  19. Fatbat
    The backups options for the BP is a bit slim. Hopefully we don’t need to tap into the Dobnak’s et al.
  20. Fatbat
    Polanco on track to be in mpls within 2 weeks would be great. Also need C4 to start hitting after he gets to rest today. Gaaaah. Eyeroll.
  21. Fatbat
    The solution is to bring up Julien and play him every day.
  22. Fatbat
    I prefer the human element. Mistakes and the bitching and getting tossed out.
  23. Fatbat
    No. and then draft a SP @ #5. That gives us CP, Raya and #5 in the system and developing to win in 2025. Thats when we really will have an opportunity to compete for a WS every yr. At this point, we still need more pitching.
  24. Fatbat
    Holding the players accountable if they suck would be my first step. Like say Pagan giving up a dinger every time he pitches.
  25. Fatbat
    I sure hope ober understands that he is a vital cog in the wheel of the machine. Something is going to get him across the river and he will probably never go back. The rotation is the real winner on this team. All potential #2 and#3 SP make this a staff with great potential!!
