    He said that Keashall showed off his 5 tool skillset,, not that he had them

    Launch angles, exit velocity, and the outcome of the pairing of the two has been around long enough and with enough games to have some validity. I don’t know if speed of the base runner is factored in. The notion of regression for Cleveland is a reasonable one. The question is how much to expect. If their run differential decreases by 10% they are still a top team in the AL. The difference in the standings would be unmanageable if the Twins don’t win the remaining series with Cleveland . One does have to hope that Texas and Houston stay in the races for the wild card as well as the NL central as it appears that Cleveland does have a lot of games with those teams

    ESPN’s report on this stated he had an MRI done in late May on his back. It is an indication that that the back has been bothering him for a while,

    But it was on the internet that he hid his injury and repeated. It just has to be true. In all seriousness one would think the training staff would have to write reports. They were probably hoping to send him down so they did not have to pay mlb wages for yet another trip to the injured list.

    Heston was then traded for Reardon, a bigger trade tree
  7. old nurse
    John Butcher did indeed help win the 1987 series. They traded him for Reardon

    What is the goal for the team? A realistic one. Is it to just make the playoffs? If that is the case maybe upgrading the fourth starter is the answer. Win the wild card round? The fourth starter won’t help there so maybe the OP is correct.. Challenge for the division to avoid the wild card round? Maybe a 2 is in over A better chance to actually do something in the playoffs.

    Ahh, but the why do something like that is the Cubs got a top 50 prospect out of the trade who is doing well

    College baseball is limited to 11.7 full scholarships. It is more likely that a player has to pay to play than not. NIL money is not that great in college. LSU was reported to have the best fund at 10 million. I don’t think the money is there for any player to pass up the 7 figure bonus. If the HS player is a fast riser through the minors it is free agency sooner. The sooner you hit free agency the money you will make will pale anything a college has. The Twins have not had a high school prospect rise up fast in recent history, but they can still try that selling point

    Cade Horton is looking like a legitimize pick for his slot. Jackson Harris remains to be seen. Perhaps it is more a case the Cubs were a little smarter this time.
  12. old nurse
    Not every player makes the majors but the low minors weeds out the chaff pretty quickly. He didn’t make it as a command and control starter but they still just have seen something there. His FB topped out at 92. Assuredly the Twins have upped that, as he still has a job.

    They optioned him back to Wichita on Tuesday AAA coffee
  14. old nurse
    Topa and Stewart being effective would eliminate the need to trade for a right handed reliever.. They really can’t make a trade to replace Lewis. Kirilloff may be replaced by Wallner as a LHB. That leaves Martin. As they trade for a RHB for the outfield. Since the FO got Margot, I don’t see them making a trade, unless any of these players are trade bait in a trade for a frontline starter or LH reliever

    Which of these starting pitchers is going to be a stopper in the post season and with giving up a couple of top prospects?
  16. old nurse
    Maybe the team can trade an underperforming reliever that will blossom once he quits using his slider so much and a future depth starter to go get this Mets pitcher. A career year at this point. What could go wrong?
  17. old nurse
    Royce Lewis will be the Twins representative. Of course he still may be injured but then the manager can take another Oriole. Maybe Cano ti rub it ib
  18. old nurse
    Jansen would likely cost a highly rated prospect That is not happening The Reds are poised for contention long before 2028. That trade isn’t happening Texas with that pitching staff is probably looking to bolster their hitting. Sure, they might trade Yates for Jose Miranda Miami. Giving up a pitcher with 2 years of control left after this year and left handed. Even with a poor season ERA wise, the cost would not be low. Given Miami’s trade history, a couple of midlevel prospect might do it An injured pitcher and the Twins. . Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results Chargois came off the injury list, perhaps he should be on the list, too Yet Another pitcher with bad results and better peripheral numbers. This time a team that rarely sells at the deadline

    One would think that a Twins fan would know that the Twins did not draft Johan
  20. old nurse
    But not a third, year, nor did any other JPL team sign him.. yup he set a record for strikeouts in the Mexican league. That is as significant as Joey Gallo not striking out in t ball
  21. old nurse
    The team in Japan did not want him back?
  22. old nurse
    It was Stewart to the 60 day
  23. old nurse
    Cano was probably a throw in as he did not do well in his time on the big league club. He appears not to use his slider as much and has a better outcome. Shame on the Twins for not recognizing that. Povich was likely the main piece in the trade. A potential major league starter for a reliever is not a good trade unless you think they are not going to make it as a mlb starter. There are things they can be wrong about. Future starters is not. One of them.

    With this regime later first round picks by the Twins that were bats areRooker, Larnach, Wallner, Cavacao,, Sabato and Miller. The results suggest they can identify a college bat better than a high school bat.. the results also show they haven’t yet found the diamond in the rough
  25. old nurse
    The process did not evaluate what Baltimore did to make a mediocre pitcher into an effective closer. Lopez reverted back to mediocrity, where he has remained. He is one of the reasons I wouldn’t trade for the older player having a career year without a real deep dive.
