    Looking at the small sample of ST and winter ball, it seems that Alcala is finally healthy again and pounding the strike zone. If that remains all season, expect a break out year and another successful pitcher to develop in our system. Finally.
  2. Fatbat
    Not worried one bit. He is 26 yo and still refining his craft. 8-10 more years of prime time crushing at the plate and OF assists. Fans need to get used to having nice things in MN.
  3. Fatbat
    He is that good. and he could end up being great when he gets to RF next year. Its really awesome to see the youth movement!
  4. Fatbat
    Team control until ‘28 so if he just has a soso season, his trade value will be weak and the FO will spend another yr or 2 trying to fix him.

    Sooooo… at 26yo its now or never yet we sign guys all over their mid to late 30’s to fill out the 40 man. AK is finally healthy and still has a sweet swing. Allowing great health in ‘24, what is stopping him from having a huge breakout season in his early prime year. He could simply mash all summer long leading to a .290ba, .350obp, .900 OPS and end the season with 550ab and a 135ops+ …. Not bad for a guy batting in the 5/6 spot. When he mashes, he makes our lineup really deep.

    Great write up!! If Ober is durable and brings his game to a higher level in ‘24, no one will want to play us in October.
  7. Fatbat
    If C4 has a long term Il then Lee would get the call. Minor issue, he stays in aaa. It’s great to have the depth that we have!
  8. Fatbat
    C4 is a stud and likely to have his best year in ‘24. Here comes 7fWar and a gold glove. Bench players won’t matter much at SS.
  9. Fatbat
    Lets go worst to first in strikeouts…. But then we would be worst in HR’s. Less GIDP’s would be nice also.
  10. Fatbat
    All he has to do is bunt successfully 30 times and he would almost be there if he has 400 AB’s. Bunting for singles will be the new thing in ‘24.
  11. Fatbat
    Id be happy if he had a .370 obp and scored 75 runs.
  12. Fatbat
    All the vids I have seen of Doncon hr’s were pulled to left field except one to left center. His hand speed is amazingly quick and he looks long and lanky size wise. The guy can hit but he is Eddie Rosario nonpicky. Too much swing and miss but he is very young.
  13. Fatbat
    Even if they sign another pitcher, we MIGHT need someone to eat up innings on 15 starts IF everyone in AAA fails when they are called up. What are the odds? Gotta be close to zero.
  14. Fatbat
    Keller and/or Syndergaard on a minor league deal would work. Low risk, high reward.

    Last year the Twins got a one time $30M Disney BAMtech payment. Every team got that $30M so we are technically down $38M
  16. Fatbat
    Geez. 85.5 wins. I would take the over on everyone of those betting lines. The bullpen is gonna get the top 3-4 starters at least 12 wins each. Long gone are the blown saves and the guys that Baldelli kept trotting out to fix them. We can finally rotate the hot hand in just based on the volume of options available in the organization.
  17. Fatbat
    The FO should get an A for the assignment of getting the best 4th OF available for such a low price. Even tho Miller will be missed, Doncon may lessen that blow if he ever makes it to the show. In a offseason when the FO could have simply sold the farm to have immediate impact, they have actually made it stronger….and improved the varsity! Margo is arguably the best 4th OF we have had in forever. Now lets play some ball!!!⚾️
  18. Fatbat
    I would be on someone signing a milb contract with an opt out. Its not going to block any existing talent because they will call up the hot hand for a spot start anyhow. Too bad it isn’t possible to sign a two way/temp contract that can be modified on the fly. Something about only available to certain players based on service time. I think it would get alot of these guys signed and playing.
  19. Fatbat
    The Twins have already Polo, Gordon and Miller in the last few weeks. Lee isn’t getting traded because he is a future building block of the team. And who is to say they will make room for him at 2B. Positional issues always work themselves out as needs arise. 2B is Juliens and Farmer will fill in sometimes. Things will inevitably change later in the season or in 2025.
  20. Fatbat
    Im with ya on Noah, Im just glad he is in the NL.
  21. Fatbat
    No. nope, NO.
  22. Fatbat
    Why would we trade our best guys away? We don’t need anything but a #1 pitcher and no one is selling until July and there will be plenty of rentals available…. That our FO sucks at evaluating.
  23. Fatbat
    Beat me to it. @Doctor Gast Noah Miller might be a gold glove MLB’r after he finds his bat and gets to the show. Some time after 2025. We will likely draft 2 more SS in ‘24 that will have the same or better chance as Noah. Sorry for your loss and that you will have to root for him in Dodger blue. Life is really cruel sometimes.
  24. Fatbat
    The F entails a few things. Not fixing the streaming issues. Lying/over exaggerating about the loss of revenue and how to “right size” the business. They have owned it since 1984. Accomplished a $1.4B increase in Equity and they can’t find a way in 40 years to figure out when the best time is to step up a run for the WS with or without player salary increase. They simply choose to throw water on the fan fire by a bad choice of words. They have a PR problem that lead to the F.
  25. Fatbat
    You are being too harsh on the FO. For what they had to navigate, they didn’t give away the farm or stand still the whole offseason. The FO only brought in enough vets to let the next group of young guns figure out a few things and be able and to push their way into MLB. The FO deserves credit for not log jamming anyone position or player while also getting legit MLB depth. That tightrope has to be given an A. Ownership only deserves something more than an F if and only if we make a deep playoff run. Someone needs to explain to them that “rightsizing” their business means winning a WS soon. Its been 33 years of “wrong sizing”.
