    Can someone please teach Julien how to play defense…. Somewhere on the diamond? The guy can hit but he needs a couple more years of learning a defensive skillset.
  2. Fatbat
    One name that may go back into the 2024 list is Keoni Cavaco. He needs a developmental spurt tho.
  3. Fatbat
    He needs to find the strike zone and not get behind in the count. Mechanicals and confidence and he will be just fine.
  4. Fatbat
    If things go sideways (i doubt it) Gray will be for sale to a contender. What do you think would be a good return for him? A late 1st rd draft pick?
  5. Fatbat
    Winning will cure everything that is wrong with the twins. Fans will always have a favorite if the team is exciting and winning. They are finally paying enough talented guys to be competitive and developing the homegrown kids. There will be a new “fan favorite” but it will always suck that Arraez got traded.
  6. Fatbat
    I thought that changed but obviously not.
  7. Fatbat
    I really like him. I hope he pitches against us someday and we light him up. Lol

    Both Celestino and TL will start in AAA. Ober will be on the 26 roster as a 6th starter for april and either he or maeda will throw some BP innnings. Probably just have buck, gordon, gallo, kep and taylor in the outfield most of the season. AK, Polanco, C4, Miranda and Farmer as IF, 2 catchers. Thats only 12 position players and 14 pitchers. Something will change when Lewis makes the roster.

    We wont measure the success of 2023 by comparing HRs or wins to the 2019 bomba squad. We need to measure it against the 87 and 91 WS champs teams.

    Buxton needs to learn how to RISP. Thats his job. No to Gallo anywhere before #6
  11. Fatbat
    This puts celestino and wallner in AAA for 2023. TL is a DH guy only… every 4th day. AK is 1st/DH. Buxton will DH 62 games play CF 99 games if he doesn’t get injured. We now have redundant elite defense everywhere but 3rd base…. Until Lewis takes over. Farmer sits alot and Miranda will DH alot after June.
  12. Fatbat
    The down side is that we still didnt trade Pagan and or Gallo….
  13. Fatbat
    I can see Raya, Preilipp and SWR as 3 SP in 2025 maybe mid 2024 along with Paddack, Lopez and Ryan. How Lee fell to us at #8 is crazy. This top 15 has to be well above MiLB average.
  14. Fatbat
    Royce Lewis. He may not need rehab past spring training. He may not be ready for defensive duty on day 1 but he can swing a bat and get on base.
  15. Fatbat
    Pagan needs a tweek or two. Maybe 10. Maybe BP Lopez since he fell off after his trade to the twins.

    Miranda is likely getting most of 3rd base but also some 1st. AK should be getting most of 1st but also OF and DH. Lewis will most likely be a super utility guy until he settles into a position unless he just takes Arraez’s role (minus 1st base) and carries at .300ba+ Julien also could be that guy. We need to stop bringing in FA guys and let the youngsters get playing time.

    There was talk about Profar wanting a long term deal last year and I would think that he is still trying to find one. I’m surprised Boston hasn’t signed him yet. Last year would have been the time to throw some money at him like a 3 yr deal with a 4th and 5th team option. At this point, its just going to create a log jamb in the outfield. We have the on field leadership in place right now to mentor the kids. We need to push Martin to MLB along with Julien in 2023. TL, AK and Mr. ACL tear need to stay healthy and find their way to a 4fWAR. That log jamb will solve all the lineup issues.

    There is no way to get an Ace SP for arraez. The top 20 SP in MLB aren’t even for sale. Im not a Lopez fan but you put a great defense behind him….And score 4 runs for him every start, he and everyone of our starters could be 16-20 game winners.
  20. Fatbat
    As much as I’d like to see Duran start and win 12+ games, I’d rather see his durability improve to where he can save 30 games and still do it on a days rest which means the team scoring more runs so there are more low leverage days he doesn’t have to pitch.
  21. Fatbat
    Im saying, same game, same inning.
  22. Fatbat
    Another milestone is Buxton starting CF the most times ever in a season in his career. We can only dream….
  23. Fatbat
    I want to see Lopez get an additional 3 year extension. Since the FO traded away our favorite guy, we might as well get to grieve for 5 years instead of 2.
  24. Fatbat
    We can extend Lopez so its not just 2 and done with him. At 26 yo, the FO should lock him up for an additional 3 years.
  25. Fatbat
    I hate to love this trade.
