  1. I am NOT a Royce fan at all -- I would have been pleased if the Twins had DFA'ed him earlier this year. But it's beginning to look like he is finding his defensive mojo as a 1B and his hitting is even showing signs of life. He's a talented enough ballplayer to warrant ongoing patience -- at least into 2027 -- to see if he can finally turn the corner and be a serious asset. I'm still a little dubious, but I'm willing (hoping) to be 100% wrong about him. I wasn't a Clemens fan either, early on. But the guy just keeps contributing all over the place in multiple ways. He's never going to be a star, but he's the kind of super-utility Swiss army knife you see on many World Series teams...
  2. Honestly, it's hard NOT to be optimistic about Twins' pitching going into 2027. If Pablo and our other injured pitchers are healthy by spring, and a few of the younger guys mature as they could, our pitchers will keep us in a LOT of games next year. The bats and the defense that will be the decisive factors, IMHO.
  3. Exactly. This raises questions about Luke's future. He's an exciting athlete with promising skills. But if his arm is really a 40 tool (or 30?), his usefulness as a defender is doutbtful -- no matter how hard he works to improve. However, if there's hope that his arm can be rehabilitated to some degree, he might have a shot at 2B or 4th OF going forward.
  4. Will there be any more movement in the Twins' farm system this year? Cedar Rapids has 16 games left on the schedule. Maybe move Lackey up and get him 40 AB's in A+ ball this year? Likewise the Saints have 28 games remaining. Is there a case for moving Houston up there?
  5. It's a FanGraphs scale used to measure prospects' tools. 50 is essentially average for an MLB regular. I think we can agree that Keaschall's arm is WELL below average now. I suspect lingering effects of the TJ surgery
  6. The word meltdown comes to mind suddenly
  7. Wow! Maybe I unjinxed Kody by calling for a PH!?!?
  8. Quick, someone criticize Bell to undo the curse from earlier
  9. Five masterful innings from Taj. Do you give him the 6th?
