    The rise of Zebby, Festa, and Andrew Morris--along with Marco Raya, CJ Culpepper, and Cory Lewis--could make Paddack a prime trade candidate either this year at the deadline or next off-season. Slated to make $7.5 million next year, Paddack feels like an expendable piece for the Twins that another team could be willing to trade a Top 20 prospect for, considering Paddack has some untapped upside if he can remain healthy for a full season.

    Fun piece. Still, I expect to see us draft about 37 college arms who will be throwing mid-to-high 90s in 2 years.

    Even though Farmer's overall numbers on the year aren't great, they're weighed down by a historically bad first month of the season. Of late, he's been about league average, which is exactly what you'd expect from him. Could Farmer actually have a bit of trade value, especially for a team like the Dodgers who could use some middle infield help with the injury to Mookie Betts and the struggles of Gavin Lux?

    In the Arraez trade, Miami preferred quantity over quality. They might be willing to take 4 or 5 of our Top 30 without having to give up Jenkins, Lee, Emma, or Festa.
  20. GKuehl
    I'd be happy to package 2 of our top 10 prospects and another top 30 prospect to land either Luzardo or Garrett. Although Luzardo is a better pitcher right now, Garrett has the luxury of more team control. Would Miami accept a package of Marco Raya, Austin Martin, and a throw-in like Bryan Acuna or Darren Bowen for Luzardo or Garrett?

    Kirilloff might just have holes in his swing. Anything down and away or below the zone gets a pretty easy swing and a miss from Kirilloff over the top. When he's hitting well, he's able to stay back and drive the ball to the opposite field, but recently it seems like he's off balance and out on his front foot, which has hurt his ability to hit breaking balls and drive fastballs to the left-center gap (his specialty).

    So many lazy flyballs from Buxton and this team (especially Carlos Santana).

    I have faith in Julien turning things around. With fewer than two strikes, it's perfectly fine to take a pitch on the corners of the plate because it's unlikely the hitter will be able to do much damage on those pitches. But with two strikes, the hitter needs to try to fight off pitches on the corner to either make contact or foul it off to extend the at-bat. Don't leave the fate of your at-bat to the discretion of the umpire. I hope Julien gets tired of all of these called strike threes so that he shifts his two-strike approach.
  32. GKuehl
    Headrick always looked like a better pitcher than his numbers last year. If he can use the new splitter as a putaway pitch while honing his command of the strike zone to reduce his walks and homers, he could be a decent back-of-the-rotation SP.
  33. GKuehl
    This is an interesting move considering the current depth of the bullpen. This likely bumps Staumont to AAA to start the season since he has an option remaining, which is unsurprising considering the injury he's trying to overcome and his spring performance (6.35 ERA in 5.2 innings). Chavez has performed pretty well the past few years (1.56 ERA last year in 34.2 inning and 3.76 ERA in 2022 in 69.1 innnings), so maybe he has a bit left in the tank to help overcome the early-season losses of Duran and Thielbar.
  34. GKuehl
    Not adding another veteran starting pitcher before the beginning of the season--even if it is someone like Keuchel, Cueto, Rich Hill, or Vince Velasquez to a MiLB deal--would be front-office malpractice.
  35. GKuehl
    It all depends on whether the front office is authorized to spend any more money to sign a SP to a MLB contract or has to sign someone to a MiLB contract. It would be really nice to sign someone like Michael Lorenzen to a $6-8 million deal, which would be an absolute bargain, but that is probably out of our budget. I'd target Rich Hill, Matthew Boyd, Greinke, or Cueto on a MiLB deal that provides substantial incentives for their performance while in the majors.
