    Another brutal lineup... gotta hope Buxton is back tomorrow.

    Sometimes the draft is in May, so I guess you're just impatient! Enjoy time while it is running slow, usually it runs too fast for me. It's going to be a wild one, and most mocks are not going to be accurate at all. Last year we knew 3 QBs were going in the first 3 spots, this year we know very little, and the QB class is a complete crapshoot. I could see Thibodeaux fall, but I think the rest are pretty firm in the top 12-14. Right now my bet on a faller is on Hamilton being available at #12.

    It's crazy how the Red Sox have more hits than we do, yet it's still a 6 run lead. 'Still' being the keyword...

    Is it Free Walk day today?

    I'll take Bundy the 3rd time through the lineup vs the bullpen - at least, not 4 innings of the pen.
  6. Danchat
    Reminds me of this lineup in 2019, death against lefties. This is what I'm talking about!
  7. Danchat
    It's way too early to DFA Thielbar, he's had two bad outings and for a reliever it happens. He's also by far the best lefty they have in the pen, so they don't really have a choice but to ride it out with him. Coulombe is the de facto best lefty in the pen if you DFA Thielbar, and that's not a scenario any Twins fan should want.

    Well, the starting pitching looks good, better than I expected a couple months ago. I am guessing as the weather improves, the hitting will improve and the pitching will regress... but there are several hitters I have concerns with, and the bullpen looks very questionable. The defense has also been brutal at times. I was fine with giving Stashak another chance this year, but if continues to look like this, it's DFA time. Perhaps they will give Yennier Cano a shot in the pen - I'd give him another month or two at AAA (his command in 2021 was shaky).

    Disagree, the FO should have known better to field this bullpen. I have less problems with the lineup when it comes to the FO, but Kepler and Sanó are issues. Maybe more of a failure in coaching.

    Ober is very good at inducing fly balls to CF, for whatever reason.
  11. Danchat
    I’m about the same point with Sano… dude isn’t even an average fielding 1B.
  12. Danchat
    Celestino out of the lineup again… if he’s not going to play with Buxton out of the lineup, he should be playing everyday in AAA.
  13. Danchat
    Wow, what a night for the bats. Great to see Palacios have a good game, and I've got to wonder if he'll be up at some point to be the Twins' backup SS. Right now Polanco is in that role if Correa is hurt, and I think most of us want him to stay at 2B. Of course, Lewis could make that moot if he continues to hit like he does, but unlike Palacios, he would need to play every day in the majors if called up. Got to wonder if Vallimont is headed down the Dakota Chalmers route - getting DFA'd after a poor start to the year seems like an inevitability if he doesn't improve. We need more 40 man spots, and he won't be helping the MLB squad for some time. Festa is officially on my watch list.
  14. Danchat
    Well, they certainly can give Memphis a run for their money, that's what.
  15. Danchat
    I think he'd do the least damage at 1B. He's going to be a pretty bad LF.
  16. Danchat
    There were some advanced fielding stats that claimed Arraez was an average to above average fielding 3B last year... I didn't think that was the case and he's been absolutely brutal so far.
  17. Danchat
    He doesn't look like a guy who can be a #1 shutdown CB in the NFL, doesn't have the ideal size, only decent ball skills, seems like more of a guy who will handle the slot. He's ranked #26 on my board.
  18. Danchat
    Ideally you have a stud land in your lap at #12 (Hamilton/Thibodeaux/Gardner) or you move down and gain a few more picks and take a guy they really liked but would have been a reach at #12. If they're picking at 12, Jermaine Johnson or Derek Stingley would be nice lands, while I'm not high on Jordan Davis or Trent McDuffie.
  19. Danchat
    That's true, but this thread will function as a place to store all of them, rather than looking through the past Daily Write Ups to find them.
  20. Danchat
    I'm not big on Davis at #12 because of his inability to rush the passer (despite his freakish metrics) and getting winded as a part-time player for Georgia. Yes, we do need a NT and Tomlinson isn't blocking him (he's also in a contract year), but I'd also prefer moving down in the 1st or up in the 2nd to get Travis Jones.
  21. Danchat
    Booooo put Kershaw back in you cowards!!
  22. Danchat
    I was just going to post this same comment, word for word. Give him a shot, screw the pitch count!
  23. Danchat
    I recall last year we had a thread that tracked roster moves the Twins made throughout the 2021 season, and I think that did a good job condensing things down to having all the official moves here rather than having a new topic for every move (bigger moves will still warrant their own topic). I'd like to start off with the flurry of moves that happened today: Kirilloff to 10-day IL (right wrist inflammation) Cotton DFA'd Larnach recalled from St. Paul Rodríguez selected from St. Paul So it seems the Cotton experiment is over already - though he may clear waivers. Rodriguez seems like temporary arm who will likely be DFA'd within the next week. Feel free to post more updates here for future roster moves.

    Yikes, I thought the wrist surgery he had last year was going to help prevent this sort of flare-up... it's not a good look for a guy to have so many of these issues so early in his career.
  25. Danchat
    1 for 14 with RISP... yuck.
