    I expect the top 3 on your list to make the opening day roster in 2025. I’m gonna say the #1 prospect in 2025 is going to be the 5th pick in the first round of the 2023 amateur draft.

    The potential earning power of RL if he becomes a star could be written into the contract so his value is paid out appropriately. I like the framework of what you have but lacks the incentive $$ that could pay him what he is worth. For example 500PA add $1M .300BA add $1M….. the list of incentives could be long and lucrative.

    I’m looking forward to Lewis getting off this list and establishing himself in the lineup for 150+games! He is overdue for some healthy seasons. Long term he would look great on the hot corner!!
  4. Fatbat
    Interesting numbers indeed. Anyone know if those stats are tracked at the milb level? Positive regression would be a welcome scenario after all the health related issues since 2019.
  5. Fatbat
    How about play a guy that has 794 milb ab, .283 ba, 35 hr, 53 sb and a career .922 OPS. Lets not look backwards. I’d rather take the bumps of a rookie learning a new position.

    For the sake of argument, lets just say that AK is a complete bust and back on the DL within may or June. What are the chances that Lewis or Julien is playing 1st for the Saints after spring training and takes over for AK? That’s assuming alot but don’t the two of them need to find a position and why not have a permanent back up plan if AK is MIA.
  7. Fatbat
    Depending on who gets hurt or sucks, the next guys up … Lewis, Julien, Lee… will be mid summer or later. Looks like you nailed most of what lineups that we will see in april, may and June.
  8. Fatbat
    No way any of those almost ready guys will be traded. They get all of 23 to develop and step into 500 ab roles in 24. We finally have AAA depth of young high upside allstar potential in 4-6 pure athletes. They will all find a role as a twin over the next 36 months. They will bring the WS back to MPLS.
  9. Fatbat
    AK will be raking at 1st most of the year and Miranda may get a few games there. Nothing to even be concerned about if the team is average healthy over 162.
  10. Fatbat
    4 errors at SS in 46 games as a 20yr old in A ball. I’d say thats solid defense. Im stoked for this kid!! The big show is going to be full of pure athletes from 2025 on….
  11. Fatbat
    If he is more than just hype, he should be in the big show mid 2024 or penciled in starting in 2025. He will still only be 24 yrs old with a fresh arm. What a great draft pick!!
  12. Fatbat
    Miranda could be the team MVP this year. He changed his diet and worked his ass off to become an allstar. Doesn’t matter where he plays in the field if he hits ba .290 , ops of .990. With 30+hr. He could be around and raking for a decade.
  13. Fatbat
    We need more guys with .400+OBP. Stop trying to change every guy into 30+hr!
  14. Fatbat
    Lets ask this question every year for the next 10 yrs and track how the answers change….
  15. Fatbat
    Gallo might have 23 hr’s by the trade deadline and a .260 ba
  16. Fatbat
    We have lots of really good young arms. One or two will transition to the BP this year and ear up the 6th, 7th and 8th innings. We don't need to keep signing older retreads.
  17. Fatbat
    I wonder if Dobnak is gonna get a shot at working the 7th inning to get 3 ground ball outs….
  18. Fatbat
    Both SP staffs look very solid with depth in the minors. Its really all about who stays healthy and performs above expectations.
  19. Fatbat
    @Brandon Spot on. Carlos got his payday (what the market would bare) and he get to play with guys that he gets to mentor.
  20. Fatbat
    @LA VIkes Fan thats a lot to digest. I was just looking on the MLB app depth chart for the twins. It has Miranda starting 3rd, 1st and DH. Seems like they think we need more players.
  21. Fatbat
    When Royce Lewis is playing, he should be lead off. I’d use Polanco there on the other days. Gallo should be batting somewhere behind AK which puts him right in the #7 or 8 spot and it’ll be entertaining to listen to some clamoring for him to move up when he hits an HR and everyone else will shrug because he also stuck out twice and walked once in that game. Limit his PA’s to limit his K’s. Gordon is a great #9 guy cause he can set the 3rd inning table for the big boys Polanco/Correa/Buxton/Ak/Miranda etc. limit Gordon to 500PA for the year. He will still be super productive but shouldn’t be the face of the franchise. Insert Julien anywhere in the top 6 if his bat indeed plays at the MLB level.
  22. Fatbat
    They should be fully motivated to play great in St. Paul and basically force the team to bring them across the river. Its just a matter of time when someone is tearing up AAA.
  23. Fatbat
    Lack of college stats would be my guess.
  24. Fatbat
    I agree on Mahle if he can stay healthy. Extend Lopez as well so we dont have to dislike the trade of Arraez even more than we first did. I’d rather see a couple of young guys make the show out of spring training than see another vet brought in.
  25. Fatbat
    Im always overly excited about young pitchers. It would be pretty cool to see Varland and SWR stick with the twins but thats a double edged sword because it would mean that the injury bug bit hard.
