    How did they get to a place where 10 rostered players can play 4different positions each but barely hit mlb pitching. Its just sad.

    I remember when knoblauch got the yips.

    All Houston has to do is find his bat and he will be one year behind K.pepper. We could be having this same conversation one year from now with Houston and Winokur. They both need to improve their bats while they are already polished defensively. We have such a stacked farm system that its not going to be possible to deal with just one prospect at a time. Im not saying every prospect is going to make it but we have had so many misses and now it seems like our drafting and development have improved to where the prospects we have, are going to be knocking down the door very soon.

    Questad and Hall from ‘23 draft could be breaking out in ‘26

    Great article! He has talent and what seems like relentless pursuit of greatness. Not everyone has that drive. The varsity needs that kind of guy at SS as Lee seems to lack the athleticism to stick there and be a viable big league bat. Lee might just make a great utility player but he is slow. If he can’t find the pop in his bat, he wont last long. With a hot start to ‘26, Culpepper could be a fast call up when an injury occurs. They always do.

    The next signings better be some RP’s. Jhonny Pereda is still on the 40 man so I assume he will be catching in st paul. Maybe someone will give up a flier for Jackson but no idea what the market is for a baseline C. If you move Jeffers, they better get a very nice return cause Jeffers is cheap. And isn’t Wagaman getting some 1B love in ‘26? Our infield seems overloaded atm. If you are old enough to remember 1982, this offseason sure seems like 81/82. A ton of upper minor league talent and alot of BLAH on the MLB roster.

    Caratini raises the floor. He makes the team a little better and may allow the FO to move on several other margjnal guys. Building the team back to relevance has to start somewhere.
  8. Fatbat
    Seems like an upgrade! We have to assume there will be additional moves. Plenty of marginal talent to DFA.

    As much as I want to see a big crop of rookies in ‘26 & ‘27, we need professional AB’s and guys that can get big outs. ‘26 is going to be painful.

    We can get better value in July for just about any trade piece.

    21 yo that had tj surgery 23 months ago. Slow the roll on the fast track train. Get him 70-90 innings in iowa and kansas at most this season.

    He squared up on Trevor Bauer regularly

    Interesting to bring up a “vaccine” that government forced into some humans, others bribed, just to keep their jobs VS. a free man is forced by MLB to not inject other things into his body just to play a game and get paid for it….

    That player development plan hasn’t worked out too well for the org. the past 30 years. The only prospect that I can remember being rushed was Cellestino and he still hasn’t found his bat. It makes no sense if a kid is crushing every pitcher in AA, and has defensive chops, to hold him back and not see what he has late in the season. This garbage of not bringing up a kid before age 22 is just nonsense.
  15. Fatbat
    Dude might be a 19 yo mlb late season call up. Alot of development this season and we could see someone really special!
  16. Fatbat
    Some of the best ball ever was Sosa vs. Mcquire. No one cares about peds.
  17. Fatbat
    Minced words crushed garlic.

    @bean5302 Its a safe bet to believe Lee is going to be a solid MLB backup role player. He is slow so he better hit the ball far and often. Who would you like to be the opening day SS? Lee or Arcia?

    The offseason is always loaded with ifs and hopes. This offseason especially because of selling the bullpen off. So far the FO has done little to get and MLB vet RP to sign. Everyone here rips the FO for running back the same MO every season so maybe this year they are switching it up. Look for a massive rookie class thru out the whole roster. Everyone forgets that we added lots of prospects to an already strong farm system. ‘26 is the time to roll with the rookies. Take some lumps and watch many players uber back and forth across the river. Its going to be a fun summer to watch the youngsters. Expect Ober to be solid. He is healthy… for now. Expect Keaschall to do things he always has done. Get on base and create havoc. There are several more exciting kids coming right behind him. Maybe more guys on this sight should simply expect more and better outcomes from the FO not making the same type of offseason signings. Of course, for me, this changes if/when the FO signs 5 washed up RP’s in the next 45 days and they tank the bullpen til July. I will be the first guy to rip into the FO if thats the direction they choose to go.

    I bet against it. Who is getting the boot off the 40 man for Arcia? Why add him to the 40/26 on opening day if he signs a minor league contract? As far as I know, Arcia’s agent can still find him a mlb contract at any time and he can jump ship to another team.
  21. Fatbat
    Yes, vets on an mlb contract but Arcia is just a glove. More of a mentor than anything. He isn't blocking any prospect.
  22. Fatbat
    Never heard of a 32yo minor leaguer blocking any prospect that is 10 yrs younger and a 1st rd draft pick that could be knocking down the MLB door. Anyone worried about Arcia being on the 40man as or 4/1/26 doesn’t understand minor league depth signings.

    Break glass in case of emergency. 🚨 Hopefully Culpepper is ready by June and Arcia stays in st paul. No downside on this move.
  25. Fatbat
    Every player get 4 inning per game. By the 7th innng stretch, all the starters will be on the bench…. Depth at sucking that bad….
