  1. Apologies for the duplicate post. Julien is so focused on improving that no one should worry too much about his game. He will be just fine as the season moves along. He is rockin it tonight so everyone…. Just relax and enjoy the show.
  2. He has a HR off of a lefty and he is adjusting to the league adjusting to his elite plate discipline. He will be just fine as he matures. He is 3/4 tonight with a K. Par for the course.

  4. Id bet Keaschall blows past several players headed to the bigs. He seems to have something special!
  5. Nothing is lost yet but a few too many games. We gotta play more guys that want to win instead of show up and collect a paycheck. Last year the twins and other teams got great value from younger players. Veteran leadership is great but not hitting the ball and not fielding balls doesn’t win games. Ride the hot hands! Varland and Paddack look like dumpster fires right now. Get them fixed and in the mean time give SWR his games. If he is successful, he should stick in the rotation! Martin looks like he is here to stay. We need more obp’rs. Less K’s and GIDP’s!!
  6. Such a fine line between failure and success. He has always disappointed but if he has found his game, give him more innings that count! Its so cool to see guys that finally find success. Best if its still with the Twins instead of the O’s.
  7. Thats about as close to a trout clone as you can get! What a great story and we should be geeked about seeing him in St. Paul soon!! Its pretty clear that some of our recently signed vets are on the slippery down side of their careers. Next year and beyond, get these young bucks to MLB and let them play!! I’m so over watching aging vets suck the life out of the Twins.
  8. LV and SWR are #5 & #6 in 2024. I would expect no more than 40 total starts between them. All we really need is sub 4 era in those starts and get the bats woke up!
  9. Probably trying to get tonkin thru waivers and taking a chance that bowman will stick in mlb for awhile. If he doesn’t do well, then send him away. Duran will also be back in a couple weeks so they need bowman to sink or swim before that. Alcala has options and needs rest so its a win win if bowman is even moderately successful.
  10. Please promote Erod to AAA yesterday! He is clearly ready. Game 14 today on varsity…. Kep on IL. Wallner and Buck getting rest days. Oooof dah.
  11. Dang what a nice job by SWR!! He should have a job in the rotation until he has at least 2 horrible starts which might not happen. He seemed to figure stuff out last summer and has finally made that climb to MLB official. Keep him on varsity!!
  12. Julien can be average to slow if he hits .280 and has 40 HRs, 30 2Bs. Healthy and in the lineup is the first step.
  13. The next couple weeks are more important than the first 2. Time for the offense to wake up!!
  14. It’ll be fine. Calm down.
  15. Didn't the Rays for 24-0 last season and still not win their division? A couple wins and we will be back on track.
  16. Its not just Raya and Festa getting the slow go treatment. Paul Skenes is only getting 3 innings at AAA Indy. Yes, we have loaded up international signing prospects.
  17. We really knocked the 2023 draft out of the park. Great talent and quality humans. Years from now it will be a great look back to see how legendary last years draft was.
  18. Fyi, your Jose Rodriquez link goes to a kid playing in the chicago whiteys org. I do like the one in our organization tho! I think he has a huge future. I’m watching a lot of Corey Lewis this season. Betting he is in St. Paul by July!!
  19. This isn’t Rice University. Keep the new toys bright and shiney with plenty of future games to win. these kids might only pitch 3-4 innings per game but they are still throwing on off days and building up their core in conditioning programs. MiLB isn’t the place to throw 150+ innings, its a place to develop the skills to win games in the show. Soto will have a program that works for him. Raya obviously is benefiting from his program since he isnt on the shelf. He will debut WELL before he is 24yo. with 2 picks in the top 32ish this summer, I hope they go after another HS SP prospect and a hotshot catcher that can team up with Jeffers 3 years from now.
  20. Kepler is in the lineup!
  21. If it happens, it will stop all the whining on this site about how we have no talent and we can’t have nice things on the team.
  22. Its actually a nice list and other than Dobnak, they are young and each has huge potential. Most MLB SP have been in the same boat, young guys developing their craft, getting experience and gaining confidence. WHEN we need someone to step up, we have more than one guy to take the reins. As the season goes on, the possibilities increase for more prospects to be on this list. Cory Lewis and Raya are definitely a possible fireman type call up in the 2nd half. There is no reason to think that we don't have someone waiting in the weeds to be the next Ober/Varland development guy. I would like to see Headrick take it just because he is LH. Everyone of the guys on the list and more will definitely be making at least 1 start this season. We just need one of them to take a huge step. No reason to even be worried because one of them will take that step. Thats why they are getting paid.
  23. Well it’s technically possible since we have 5 mostly legit young starters. Only need 4 of them to get wins in half their starts. Yes, many things have to go really well, but thats my prediction.
