A Couple of Suitors Definitely Miss Carlos Correa Now
Fatbat replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Its so nice to have C4 with is in his prime. and his prime could last thru the whole contract and option years. He obviously takes care of himself and is a special talent. At 29 yo, we have many years to enjoy the show. Meanwhile, the mets will always suck. Its not how we start a season, its all about October and we know what C4 and others will be doing this fall. Playing some smashball with a side of smoke.- 54 replies

Moving Louie Varland to the Bullpen Isn’t Straightforward

Fatbat replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Tbar will likely retire after this season. He wont pitch for any other team either if he is DFA’d. Rocco will keep him out of loyalty, as he should.- 21 replies

I was so on the Lewis draft train because He is such a great athlete and drafted as a SS. The freak injuries are just plain sad but he is only 25 yo and I seriously hope he is a Twin his entire career. The kid is on another planet when he is on the field and in the batters box. He is a freak of nature. All the other top ten 2017 draftees are just playing in his world. Royce will be an MVP.

Lets skip drafting 2B men for a year or three. There is always a pitcher available with more upside!

Moving Louie Varland to the Bullpen Isn’t Straightforward
Fatbat replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
By the time we get to a 7 game series in October, Varland will be a weapon in the bullpen. Barring any significant injuries, our playoff pitching roster will be stacked top to bottom. Lou’s bullpen build up will likely start mid August with a focus on getting 3-6 outs. In the mean time, he will get spot starts.- 21 replies

Minnesota Twins Prospect Tiers for the 2024 Trade Deadline
Fatbat replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
True. He is only untouchable to the degree that he has massive upside and is raw. There is definitely a price for him but I doubt anyone would be willing to pay it this year. He has as much flame out possibility as perennial allstar.- 59 replies

The biggest negative to Winokers game is his K rate. When he fixes that, he will be a top 100 MLB prospect.- 59 replies

Minnesota Twins Prospect Tiers for the 2024 Trade Deadline
Fatbat replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Jenkins has lost zero trade value because of a miner injury. He hasn’t even lost much development time because he is still 19 yo. He will be in the show as a twin in 2026. 21 yo ROY.- 59 replies

Minnesota Twins Prospect Tiers for the 2024 Trade Deadline
Fatbat replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
I would dump farmer, Santana, Margo after this season and go young with all 3 of those positions in 2025 unless the FO gets the green light on signing a $24+M perennial allstar to cover one of them. Id rather see Emma, Lee and some other young guy get his shot at MLB!- 59 replies

Minnesota Twins Prospect Tiers for the 2024 Trade Deadline
Fatbat replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
This summers draft could be lights out with the balanced pick position and comp picks. A deep successful draft will likely add to 3-4 of these tiers. Being buyers in august is definitely possible because 7 teams are chasing us to get into the October show. Getting a controllable MLB pitcher that is lights out should be goal #1. Selling underperforming vet(s) should also be considered! We need to bring up or in someone that will kickstart the offense. With one or two call ups or trades, this season could take an immediate turn towards a deep playoff run!- 59 replies

Game thread: Twins (SWR) @ Pirates (Mlodzinski); 6/8 @ 3:10pm CT
Fatbat replied to Squirrel's topic in Archived Game Threads
Well that sucked -
There isn’t a real good reason to trade unless we bring in a high performing rental to jump start the offense or build long term talent upgrades. We have that option on the farm but always be open to improving the team immediately. Lee and Erod are prime timers like Lewis. Try those options first. The cost is ZERO $.

Where the Twins stand after (about) 60 games
Fatbat replied to stringer bell's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Right now they are slightly better than the average teams. Not in the same category as the top 5 in the AL. If the Twins improve even slightly, they will get a wild card spot because other teams will be beating up on each other. We just need to focus on winning 2/3 in every series that doesn’t involve the Yankees or the Orioles. Sweep some of the teams chasing after us and we will be just fine.- 42 replies

Brooks Lee is Back, and His Back is Ready to Go
Fatbat replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Lee is going to be in the show very soon and I predict that once he gets here, he will stay. He wont be traded and he wont be hidden in AAA. When he is ready, he will be a MN Twin for many years.- 30 replies

It seems like we are built more for playoffs than the regular season marathon. No one onthe roster seems like a bulldog built for a long fight. Just lots of short burst performances. We need a shut down pitcher the most and to dump slumpy underperforming types.

Lets hope so! It should be nothing less that dumping underperforming disappointments and making a run with guys that are focused on being champs.

Twins Relievers Are Pitching Out of Their Minds
Fatbat replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
60/40 split is ok if you can shuttle some pitchers across the river and you don’t have many garbage innings. It helps SP from getting fatigue from 32 starts. We just need to keep fresh quality arms no matter what inning they are throwing in. -
Where the Twins stand after (about) 60 games
Fatbat replied to stringer bell's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Our best player has been injured for 59.6 games and just getting back today. Two huge sophomore slumps by Julien and Wallner. We have been held together by a really good pitching staff. Im still on board with getting 96 wins this season. At some point, Cleveland and KC will regress. May end up 96/95/94 wins for the three top teams in the AL central.- 42 replies

The FO isnt going to trade a top prospect like lee or jenkins. Maybe one or 2 of the top 20 but not a top 5 guy.
