    You left Randy Dobnak off that list.

    Word has it that Willi is a decent golfer 🤣. Fun game to watch in person but $18 beers😳.

    The Sheriff is pitching today for the surge and he is heading to the twin cities after that. He has stated that he is 100% ready for the varsity. I would bet that he is a lock for the post season long reliever role. Varland will also be on the pen. He is throwing 100mph heat. Since we will only be 3-4 starters deep. The whole middle relief issues will be left off the post season roster. Starters Lopez, Gray and Ryan RP’s Meada, Ober, Kuekel, Paddack, Varland, Duran, Pagan, Funderburk and Thielbar. Jax if they carry 13.

    It’s strange sometimes how guys just crash and burn. They both have a lot to prove and improve on in 2024.
  5. Fatbat
    The score should have been 5 or 6 to zero entering the 9th. So many lost opportunities.

    Great depth win! Magic#13 with 20 to play so Cleveland is toast. We need more roster experience with possible post season players. Some players my be disappointed to be left off the post season roster. My bets are buxton and gallo are off as well as several bullpen guys. Very possible Funderburk and Paddack are in the pen.

    Yes it would have been nice to see him on the varsity in July and August but now that he is here, he will stay as long as he shuts the door when he toes the rubber. I do think he has an advantage that he is unknown to MLB. It would cool to do a deep dive in late September to see what the history of late season RP call ups in post season play is.

    Thats a nice pipeline. SWR could be added to that if he ever finds consistency.
  9. Fatbat
    Without naming names. 5 for sure. Most likely 8-10 due to injuries.
  10. Fatbat
    He is a great depth piece if he shows up next spring like everyone thought he would this spring. Its one lost year and he could be back better than ever. As far as next year’s infield goes, he could be called up when the first key injury occurs.
  11. Fatbat
    Nice to see Duran get a week off for much needed rest. Varland looked like a beast today. Sweep the Mets this weekend and we will be getting some national respect.
  12. Fatbat
    @insagt1 if Duran doesn’t throw the ball in the dirt. Thats a K and the game was over. That was the biggest worst pitch of the season.
  13. Fatbat
    This is a nice rookie class but way too early to say maybe the best. The team still has holes to fill next year. Lee, Austin, Festa and company could be a nice rookie class as well.
  14. Fatbat
    Our overall pitching is still well above average. The playoff roster will have starter quality guys in the bullpen so I’m not really worried about pitching. We seriously need to DFA Gallo and Luplow and upgrade those 2 roster spots.
  15. Fatbat
    Baseball minds the world over would’ve exploded if Royce hit that first inning grand slam.
  16. Fatbat
    I doubt the twins will decide to go younger as they layoff time creeps closer. It sucks cause Gallo and Luplow are just fillers where as the youngsters are exciting and talented. Randy Arozarena played out of his mind a couple years back when no one knew who he was. Austin Martin could have the same effect but nope. We got a Luplow.
  17. Fatbat
    MLB literally sets it up so we could shuffle AAA into the lineup at any time for anyone on the 40man and has options. The use and mgmnt of our bullpen has been borderline criminal.

    There should be a goal to have 5-6 viable mid rotation or higher pitchers available in April every season. The Dobnaks and SWRs of the organization should be spot starters at best or brought up in the bullpen rotation game. It would be great to have Gray and Maeda back next year but chances are that one or both will be gone. Fine, sign a big name front of the rotation starter FA or trade for one. Im confident that Paddack, Ryan, Ober and Lopez will be lights out. Add both Gray and Maeda to that and we could win 100 games next year as the youngsters mature at the plate. With that being said. If Kuekel gets hammered again. Cut him. Bring up Dobnak for a start and see what he can do.

    Something must not have clicked at 1B during those 180 innings for Julien. The best way to hide his bad Defense is to make him the DH in 8 out of 10 games. When Buxton gets back. Put him in CF. Let him play in a wheelchair if he needs one or just DL buxton for the rest of the year. We got a large enough sample size that says he sucks at DH. Possible due to injuries or just mentally incapable of focusing on just hitting. Either way, he sucks at it. Julien might just be the guy that excels at just hitting. Gee… thats what a DH is for. Play him there and watch his OPS of .980 climb.

    @DocBauer Great insight as per usual! I got no issues with paying Mahle $3M to rehab but I doubt they will do that. I’m probably wrong about that tho. I just hope they get 5 strong starters with viable options for 6-8 when injuries happen.
  22. Fatbat
    Maeda 2 yr 25M with team option for 3rd yr. Gray QO so we get a draft pick cause he wants out of here. Meh on Mahle. Horrible trade! Move on and get one more young arm rotation out of AAA. We got 4-5 guys to rotate into that 5th starter slot.
  23. Fatbat
    Welp, Jenkins just showed up as the #16 prospect in MLB. Lee #18. If Jenkins is for real, he will probably be on the varsity in 2025.
  24. Fatbat
    True, I’m on the Castro bandwagon. Id prefer to move on from polanco and Kepler but I doubt the twins would do that. Right now, I don’t see a young guy making a jump to MLB early next year.
  25. Fatbat
    Begs the question, who is our starting OF’s next April? Wallner Buxton Kepler? Gordon and Larnach as the 4th and 5th? Perhaps one of the kids in AAA?
