    Lee Isola,, Carmago, and Julien as position players,. Varland is still a prospect as is SWR. There are a few relievers doing well. Of course relievers never rank high as prospects. That is until the major league team’s bullpen gets blown up.

    Whatever. They were counting on Larnach and Kiriloff in the outfield and Sano at 1b. Considering the backups past Arraez it should be obvious that they were counting on them. I guess not. They traded assets for Paddack. Even if you don’t count Maeda, they are still high on the list. The players were healthy when traded for. Manipulate data to suit idea

    The Twins have had the second most players on the injured list. The Twins have had the second most days on the injured list, That holds true if you look at just pitchers. The numbers are courtesy of sportsrac. They are only in the middle for salary. Now, if they brought along the training theories of Cleveland with them, you can’t blame the training staff. Cleveland has the second fewest pitchers and days on the list. I am not sure when they changed the training staff but in 18 an 19 they were near the bottom of the list and have been moving up every year sine 2020

    What five teams over the last 5 years has done that every year?

    The way Tampa uses pitchers, if he was ready there would have been a call up to Tampa if he was major league ready

    Unless the FO needs to throw someone under the bus to save their own jobs Rocco is safe. His guarantee is up after this year although he does have 2 option yearsThe FO tends to stick with their people until it looks totally hopeless. See Matt Shoemaker. Anyone hired other to replace Baldelli will be a similar manager. There is no gain for them to switch unless the bus is barreling down on the FO. That bus is actually a Brinks truck. If it is not bringing Pohlad some cash from Target field there will be a new direction for the FO. It is just a matter of when. The FO may get a pass for this year, but next year may be crucial. If the truck is empty heads will roll

    Moran has not shown that he can find home plate. When he can he will be up. If he can’t find it probably sometime next year he would be DFA

    Regular players not named Joey Gallo that strike out more than 30% are going by the wayside. Wallner will have to adjust.

    Right knee, hip. Buxton is not going to hit well with no base. I don’t know if Buxton has lost flexibility or if he works too hard and these are overuse injuries. Tendinitis in the knee would normally be the patellar tendon. He could hit, but not run. The hip could be compensating for the knee. But really I don’t know because I haven’t seen either the patient or the diagnostician (the smartest person in the room who is hopefully smart enough to figure it out)

    Jake Cave has nothing left. He can go with him. Emilio would be a popular choice also. There must be something wrong somewhere.

    How quickly one forgets that MLB changed the baseball this year to deaden it.

    There will not be clarity until lore people weigh in. Maybe that should be give their opinion.

    Being a slob has no girth factor. For that matter, nor does OCD clean. Gross eating habits are not a function of girth. Sweatpants wearing is stereotyped as fat pants. Do as I say not as I do knows no weight minimum. I have dealt with people of all shapes and sizes that would fit the story

    I can not, see anywhere that this is a blatant shot at overweight people

    Bullpen games Chi Chi Gonzales Andrew Albers, Charlie Barnes Homer Bailey Kohl Stewart Chase DeJong, Turkey, and a host of others Every year there has been proof you can never start off with too many starters as there is what you have to use through injuries

    Should. Have read page 2. Before i commented. Here you go for your amusement. To everyone’s here surprise, the number is under 5. https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/runners-left-in-scoring-position-per-game

    Left on base. It seems like every time I look at a box score there is an inordinate amount of runners left on base. A better performance would cure most any ill

    If Bryan Medina in the low minors is rated as the number 9 prospect then he was not a throw in for the trade. If anything Pagan was as he had been mediocre for awhile. As to wether or not the system is down, after the trades a lot of the prospects are in the low minors yet the have decent FV from fangraphs which devalues them for being in the lower minors. Bleacher Report had the Twins as the seventh best system. Ratings, which are notoriously inaccurate, are subjective. Only time will tell. Look at the ups and downs of ratings with Gordon. Not a star, but a 115 WRC is a positive.

    Velocity drop sometime is the precursor to an arm issue.

    They got a back of the bullpen. It is still anyone’s guess for the front
  21. old nurse
    You stated that it was fine they did not touch the 40 man. I could probably name three relievers that the majority of this site wishes that they were traded. See 8/4 box score
  22. old nurse
    About Correa, after a rough April he has been hitting as well as he ever has for a season,. That he was considered a superstar when he got here, what were you expecting?
  23. old nurse
    It was a bad month when your pitcher of the month gets DFA. I wonder if Baltimore will claim him?
  24. old nurse
    Trade for injured pitchers. The team has enough injured pitchers

    Shoot a lot of the capital for Ryan or Gray to get the team a win ib the playoffs
