    Gray is spot on. The 2023 rotation as well as the next man up situation across the river is night and day better than last year. No one has to be a Nolan Ryan but for g-sakes, pitch 6+ innings. Its your j.o.b.
  2. Fatbat
    Id take him over any other of the possible options. He needs to stay on the varsity team. Good chance he will be the lights out Jovani as he continues to develop his craft.
  3. Fatbat
    He does have a career era of 3.87 in mlb and probably better when he was in japan. He went 5 innings today with 2 earned runs so maybe he can put the surgery behind him and have a 2020 type season (2.40 era)
  4. Fatbat
    Deleon would be exciting to watch!!! I’d lean towards guys on the 40man first. Sands, Henriquez and Maeda if he cant get back to pitching 6-7 innings without giving up more than 2-3 runs.
  5. Fatbat
    I am right there with ya. Winning is going to be contagious this year. Depth is good up and down the roster and across the river.
  6. Fatbat
    They will win 95. The young guys are developing and winning will become contagious. Health over the long haul will have a positive impact because of the depth in st paul.

    Id bet its better than 50/50 that Hoffman is on the roster if a spot is available. Megill is headed to the saints because he has options and needs to work on his game. Moran should be a lock for the 26man. I think it comes down to having a 6 man SP rotation and I’m leaning that way.
  8. Fatbat
    Great article! I have often wondered why this hasn’t been addressed sooner.
  9. Fatbat
    Drafting an 18yo hs SS doesn’t exactly interfere with C4 and his probable hof career. The likely hood that 3 SP are drafted in the top 4 is basically nil and there are definitely 3 SP in the top 10 so just because the “experts” say that one of them is 8,9 or10 doesn’t mean that drafting him at 5 is a reach. Its no different than drafting Lee just because he fell to us means that the other teams didn’t pick future allstars. Clark may be future hof but nobody’s knows. It does seem prudent that getting in the top 5 is our best chance at getting an ace sp.
  10. Fatbat
    Yes to both but after this season. They need to break the varsity locker room door down as well as knock the cover off the ball. Lee should fit well at 3rd, Lewis at 2nd and Julien as a super util/backup/DH in 2024. THe best part is that ownership is willing to pay for top notch talent.
  11. Fatbat
    White will be the Saints fist basemen for the majority of 2023. Only a major injury will get him across the river.
  12. Fatbat
    There is so much to choose from at #5. We absolutely will not be reaching as we have a pick at 34 and 49. Waldrep is the 3rd highest rated pitcher and has ace potential. The kid that I am highest on is Jacob Wilson, the son of Jack Wilson. He is another SS that has plus hit tools and stuck out only 7 times last SEASON. Its a very deep draft and we have thee best scouting director. Im confident that we will come away with 3 studs in the top 49.
  13. Fatbat
    I can see Clark in the top 4 if he knocks the cover off the ball this spring. The twins need to draft pitching, pitching, pitching and a catcher. and then more pitching….
  14. Fatbat
    and develop a #1 ace SP like say the next Frank Viola aka Connor Priellip.
  15. Fatbat
    There is always a place in MLB for a big bat. He seems like the type of guy that will stick and rake when he gets the call up.
  16. Fatbat
    This kid is special. Lights out this year and the FO should be paying him thru his age 32 season. Probably around 60-70M.
  17. Fatbat
    He is gonna be just fine. Guys come out of the woodwork all the time. Pencil him in for a long, successful career.
  18. Fatbat
    So last year, a short ST was the reason for everyone being on the IL. Sooooo now this year we are worried because the vets aren’t playing meaningless games….. head scratching.
  19. Fatbat
    The FO asks Correa for player input on what he wants playing with him. Much like Tom Brady and AAron Rogers in the nfl.
  20. Fatbat
    …and no 10year vet retreads trying to imitate Lazarus.
  21. Fatbat
    Its going to come from guys that stay healthy and have become a year older and wiser. Runs come easier when you arent looking up at a 2-4 run deficit in the 6th inning.
  22. Fatbat
    Odds are that he will play 3rd for a couple years and play SS when Correa has a dayoff and Lee will switch to SS when Correa is ready to move to 3rd.
  23. Fatbat
    The Varsity team hasn’t looked this good in years with Lee and co. coming up soon. What a great time to be a twins fan!!
  24. Fatbat
    Its nice to see the twins stacked with depth on the 40 man as well as trying to squeeze 29 guys onto a 26 man roster. The biggest questions seem to be in the bullpen and why didn’t Pagan go to driveline to learn how to pitch instead of throw gopher balls?
  25. Fatbat
    If his bat is .300/.400/.500 in MLB, you can play him anywhere but SS and CF no matter who is pitching or the day of the week.
