Logic, I like it! One has to wonder how the old timers threw complete games and 300 innings a year. We are all chasing velocity & spon now. Maybe foundational strength, mechanics and location are a simpler, better plan.

Sounds like a great hire?

The Many relievers we have traded away or cut who immediately found great success elsewhere is not "hit or miss". It's a disgrace! While dumping the Bullpen last year for prospects had some merit, trading an emerging controllable star like Varland for mediocre prospects was ridiculous. We ended up picking up a bunch of higher priced options at the trade deadline who arguably arent as good as the ones we traded AND cost more. The front office deserved to be fired.

I'm all for bringing Jenkins up. Hopefully he is too young and enthusiastic for the coaching staff to screw him up. Larnach, like Wallner, was never a complete all a round player or hitter. Jenkins may be.

For sure E rod gets a Sept call up. If he is playing well @ AAA, he comes up sooner and replaces Roden. If Keaschall's arm is a problem at 2nd, how is he better suited for CF? Outman was handed the job (why?) Wallner also, multiple times, so why not E rod?

Yeah, ok, I get it. BUT, if they trade a couple guys ahead of him timeline wise - Walner, Roden, Emma, etc AND get bullpen help, bring up Culpepper AND are in contention - bring him up now! This kid is ready!

This is a tough one to figure out. The guy literally saved the rotation in 23 & 24. It has to a combination of something physical and mental going on. Is this team cursed? Lewis goes to AAA & has multiple homes games, comes up & can't hit at all. How do we continuously have guys go from hitting 6 grand slams in their first 100 games (Lewis) to DFA'd?? Makes no sense?

A five tool OF bat or an Ace pitcher. Just as long as they don't draft yet another SS. They literally draft 10 middle Infielders every year, and yet they have no one who can field the position.

The Twins literally draft 10 middle infielders every year, ad nauseum. How is it that we never have anyone who can field the positions? We knew the BP was going to suck. Not trading/signing someone is a disgrace to the team & fans!

Hmm, for all that excellent pitching we traded away, weren't we supposed to get some good, young, potential stars in return? The only player of note we got was the 18 yr. old catcher - and he is still a long shot. The whole rest of the catch is crappies & sunfish - no Walleyes. So now we scrape the bottom of the barrel, yet again.

Won't be up this year unless everyone gets hurt. Maybe a Sept call-up.

Should have sold high. Now every game will be turned over to a bad bullpen down 6 runs.

How is the "new " guy going to beelegible for the rule 5 draft next year if he was drafted.in 2023?

Are they actually going to get a good outfield or 1B prospect for Larnach/Wallner and a minor league arm? Possibly. Matthews & SWR show promise, best to keep for now and the rest of the "close to ready" monor league arms are.gping to have to make up the bulk of the bullpen. Who is going to be setup and closer is anyones guess. But the Pen went from a solid strength to complete vaccumn. Seeing as top.closwrs ate now signing for 13-20M, we are pretty screwed. We had 3 solid guys for about $5M total last year. Never.going to see that again!

It's heat to have another weapon in the arsenal. Probably best to throw the kick change when ahead in the count.
