  1. Use what is working! NFL Draft Pick Bust Rate Remains Very High More analytics haven’t increased the success rate https://www.dailynorseman.com/2022/4/26/23042105/nfl-draft-pick-bust-rate-remains-very-high
  2. AI Overview Learn more Jake Cave, a former Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder, signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO): Salary: $800,000 Signing bonus: $200,000 Cave's contract is the maximum amount allowed for first-year foreign players in the KBO. The Bears were attracted to Cave's bat speed and his ability to cover a lot of ground on defense. Cave played in the MLB for seven seasons, for the Minnesota Twins, Philadelphia Phillies, and Colorado Rockies. In 2018, his rookie year, he hit 13 homers for the Twins. In 2024, he played in 123 games for the Rockies, batting .251 with seven home runs.
  3. Played in college, so what, he is not Major League ready at any of these positions.
  4. Get rid of Lewis and Julien whilst bringing back Solano and Urshela. Solano has a good bat and Urshela is a very good 3rd baseman. Of what is left Martin was not too bad at 2nd so there is the infield.
  5. You seem to want the Twins to be an extened AAA, but now it sounds more like a summer camp for kids.
  6. And a huge helping of wishful thinking. As it stands now they need a 2nd and 1st baseman; it is illogical to add, the need for a MLB competent catcher, and expensive, to the fray.
  7. Bingo! At that- he is not a bad 2nd baseman, better than any thing the Twins have now.
  8. 2021-222 Rooker was just plain lousy with a horried glove. Gallo hit 21 home runs, he and Garlick both had an OPS over 700, while Gallo had a very good glove and Garlick was average in Left Field. Every one here sees mostly what they wish but concerning Rooker, you are blind in one eye and cannot see out of the other.🤥
  9. Trying to undo it is disaster regardless of Jeffer's health.
  10. One error ever 11 games at 2nd base and One error ever 5 games at 3rd base. Castro had one error every 20 games at all his positions combined.
  11. Replace Vazquez and Castro with what, for the most part inept rookies? The Twins have nothing coming up to replace Vazquez while Jeffers is a just plain lousy catcher. Castro does not exceed at any thing but he is at least equal to the options, and he can play mulitiple spots where the rookies have a hard time playing one. Maybe Helman and Keirsey Jr. will come up and have a Cave first year, but Cave regressed after his first year, probably because pitchers figured him out and he could not address that. Or they could come up like most have the past few years and at best, be one-trick ponies.
  12. Rooker has played 70 games in the outfield in the past two years. IF, if the Twins had kept him he would be the new full time DH, which would mean a lot of other players would have been sitting on the bench, all the time (Buxton) the bench is not big enough.
  13. Hopefully Julien gets traded or they do like they did with Garlick , put him in AAA and leave him there. Miranda is better, to a degree, at 3rd than Lewis, so leave him there. Larnach is a outfielder, for which there is no replacement, at this point but at that, Bell would be a massive hole at 1st base.
  14. If Santana moves on, they will sign a better than average Veteran to replace him. They badly need a 2nd baseman , could pick-up one there as right now only Martin does not look incompetent there. Right now their defense looks the worst it has been for years for 2025, I am sure the FO sees this.
  15. His season turned around, pretty much, after he went on and then came off of the IL.
  16. Miss? Not hard to miss when the gun you wanted to keep only shot blanks.
  17. In 2021 when Rooker and Garlick were both on the team and played; Garlick had an OPS of .745, Rooker had an OPS of .688. In Left field; Rooker had massive hole in his glove, Garlick had no hole at all. So, bye, bye Rooker.
