    I would much rather see young guys come up and struggle vs. watching pagan throw gopher balls. It seems like we are gonna use 3-4 guys with options to be the long RP and shuttle them across the river. It might work better if you just reassign pagan to be the shuttle driver. Lol

    Both Lopez and SWR both sucked today. I’m blaming the sucky weather. Headrick is just stone cold good tho.
  3. Fatbat
    I figured they were swapping Headrick for Moran but that didn't happen. Maybe SWR gets the 7th or 8th inning tonight. Its nice to see him up but it also may show that they aren’t using pagan any time soon. They whole long relief need makes sense and hopefully we wont NEED it!

    Does anyone know why Simeon has been called up from the Saints? He hasn’t pitched well in either start this season…
  5. Fatbat
    Can we DFA Pagan yet and bring up Ober for the long term?
  6. Fatbat
    AK is going to get playing time when he is healthy because he has a way higher ceiling than Solano and Gordon…
  7. Fatbat
    I agree! I hope for Neto’s sake that the lack of milb development doesn’t mess him up long term. In the same thought light tho, I can see Lee getting the August call up if he is crushing it in AA and we keep sending guys to the IL all summer long. If Erod does the same in Iowa, he will likely be moved up to AA in June or July. As always I worry that Buxton will trip on a blade of grass and end his season early which could then lead to Erod being on the post season roster and since it seems like he lives for the big moments…. He could be given a spot to show off….

    Maybe the Yankees have always tried to cheat and are finally getting caught.

    The Angels just called up Zach Neto who was drafted 5 spots after Brookes Lee. They say he is up for the long term and have moved former Twin Gio Urshela to first base. I’d prefer that the Twins move a little slower in developing all the youngsters on the above list but I cant help but wonder if at least 3 of them are with the varsity when we make a deep run in the playoffs this October!
  10. Fatbat
    So far “ the next man up “ has worked out well but thats only because of the depth that we have. At this attrition rate, all the kids from cedar rapids will be called up in august.
  11. Fatbat
    Farmer and Solano were great signings! Castro is meh…. Much like a bologna sandwich… the young guns are going to own this team by September!!!
  12. Fatbat
    He had 1 tough inning the other day and gave up a bad dinger but has looked great otherwise. He’s going to be fun to watch for the foreseeable future!!!
  13. Fatbat
    The backups options for the BP is a bit slim. Hopefully we don’t need to tap into the Dobnak’s et al.
  14. Fatbat
    Polanco on track to be in mpls within 2 weeks would be great. Also need C4 to start hitting after he gets to rest today. Gaaaah. Eyeroll.
  15. Fatbat
    The solution is to bring up Julien and play him every day.
  16. Fatbat
    I prefer the human element. Mistakes and the bitching and getting tossed out.
  17. Fatbat
    No. and then draft a SP @ #5. That gives us CP, Raya and #5 in the system and developing to win in 2025. Thats when we really will have an opportunity to compete for a WS every yr. At this point, we still need more pitching.
  18. Fatbat
    Holding the players accountable if they suck would be my first step. Like say Pagan giving up a dinger every time he pitches.
  19. Fatbat
    I sure hope ober understands that he is a vital cog in the wheel of the machine. Something is going to get him across the river and he will probably never go back. The rotation is the real winner on this team. All potential #2 and#3 SP make this a staff with great potential!!
  20. Fatbat
    Gray is spot on. The 2023 rotation as well as the next man up situation across the river is night and day better than last year. No one has to be a Nolan Ryan but for g-sakes, pitch 6+ innings. Its your j.o.b.
  21. Fatbat
    Id take him over any other of the possible options. He needs to stay on the varsity team. Good chance he will be the lights out Jovani as he continues to develop his craft.
  22. Fatbat
    He does have a career era of 3.87 in mlb and probably better when he was in japan. He went 5 innings today with 2 earned runs so maybe he can put the surgery behind him and have a 2020 type season (2.40 era)
  23. Fatbat
    Deleon would be exciting to watch!!! I’d lean towards guys on the 40man first. Sands, Henriquez and Maeda if he cant get back to pitching 6-7 innings without giving up more than 2-3 runs.
  24. Fatbat
    I am right there with ya. Winning is going to be contagious this year. Depth is good up and down the roster and across the river.
  25. Fatbat
    They will win 95. The young guys are developing and winning will become contagious. Health over the long haul will have a positive impact because of the depth in st paul.
