    I haven't seen much rhyme or reason to his bullpen usage (maybe that's a good thing with this group?) but kuddos to Shelton for having this team only a game under .500. No Pablo. Taj injury. Abel injury. Lewis and Wallner flame out. Never would have guessed all of that would equal 26-27.

    All Victor Caratini has shown me through the first 1/3 of the season is that he's basically Vazquez part 2. I don't understand why Jeffers hasn't been signed. Tait is a top prospect, but he's just that - a prospect. There are exactly zero catchers in the organization that look like they could come anywhere close to what Jeffers is.

    By June 15 could we see Emma Rodriguez in RF, Kaelen Culpepper at SS and Brooks Lee at 3B??

    Seriously.....how are there four bullpens worse than the Twins??
  5. HerbieFan
    Sadly, Royce Lewis is the poster child of the Twins' complete inability to fully develop position players under Falvey.

    As a 58-year old, beaten down Minnesota sports fan, I'm not even sure how to respond to this. I'm SO used to the worst-case, this just doesn't even seem possible! :)

    I feel sorry for Derek Shelton. This roster is still Falvey's doing. Somewhere he's sitting on his couch, sipping a drink, thinking he's always the smartest guy in the room and that he can always build a bullpen. The disjointed roster is on him. The lack of player development is on him. Thanks Falvey. There is no fixing the bullpen...they don't have enough options in the minors and they clearly have no interest in trading for anyone. "Hunt the good". Buxton. Today was a great day....I mean, you started Connor Prielipp against Dylan Cease and had the lead into the 8th. That's about it for today.

    Why hasn't he just been put on IR?
  9. HerbieFan
    I can't wait to watch Marek Houston play SS for the Twins. That kid is SLICK in the field. If he can hit at all, all the better.
  10. HerbieFan
    No, Sam. The clear answer is NO.
  11. HerbieFan
    With you Dman. This is the biggest concern
  12. HerbieFan
    Patience people.....
  13. HerbieFan
    100%

    I get the health issues he's overcome. That said, in one appearance he already has established his floor as a dominant reliever with that slider.
  15. HerbieFan
    I read the headline and thought we were going to read about the complete lack of ability under Falvey to develop players that are a) fast and b) can play defense.
  16. HerbieFan
    Keaschall. Easy. Not sure we know Bradley and Abel will stick as starters. I 100% hope they do, but....
  17. HerbieFan
    I thought at the time that Caratini was brought in: - as a #2 catcher/part-time 1B - as a replacement for Jeffers if he's dealt at the deadline - as a replacement for Jeffers if he leaves in FA after the season.
  18. HerbieFan
    The "beauty" of 2026 is that we'll have a full season to get answers. If he doesn't show growth as a starter, he certainly profiles as a late-inning bullpen arm.
  19. HerbieFan
    I've only seen highlights of Houston, but my goodness.....
  20. HerbieFan
    I'm 58. I survived the early '80s, the late '90s, the threat of contraction, the early 2010s. I'm a lifer. I with they were going to be better. But there's always a reason to follow....this season, I want definitive answers on Wallner, Lewis, Larnach, Lee, Ober, etc.. I think 2026 will provide those answers, for better or worse. Second, I wanna see the young guys. I want to see 60+ games from ERodriquez, Jenkins, Culpepper, etc. I wanna see 20+ starts from Bradley, Abel, Zebby. I wanna see Prielipp make 40 appearances out of the 'pen. I wanna see Festa out of the 'pen in August/September. I wanna see KRojas get a cup of coffee. In short, I want a direction for 2027 and moving forward.
  21. HerbieFan
    Not a red flag....a RED flag.
  22. HerbieFan
    Maybe they could trade one for a reliever...... :(
  23. HerbieFan
    So SIX different players started in LF?? Sheesh
  24. HerbieFan
    Two things for me here: First, I don't understand why they wouldn't have Funderburk in the bullpen. If you're not competing to win a division, you may as well find out what you have with a bunch of the young guys. Second, I don't care....I can't wait for opening day!
  25. HerbieFan
    No idea why Urshela and Chafin were ever in camp. Outman can go. I'll keep Roden instead and play the guy four years younger with at least a little upside
