    Two things prevent Lackey from playing for the Twins in 2027 - 1) even great catchers usually don't move that fast through the minors, and 2) the Twins don't move their prospects real fast under this administration.

    I disagree. Teams just don't draft hitters much in the Rule 5 draft. It's pitching, pitching, pitching.
  23. FlyingFinn
    With his arm, I believe he has to be a left fielder. Surprised he is in RF this year. He should stay in LF and master that to hopefully become an average fielder out there.
  24. FlyingFinn
    No reason Jenkins shouldn't be up with the Twins today. Larnach shouldn't go to the training room for a hangnail even or he'll end up on the IL. Roden is playing well. Jackson made it through waivers once already so he would be the logical choice to try that again.
  25. FlyingFinn
    The one big difference is the amount of power Young is showing (I don't remember Cavaco showing much of anything at any time).
  26. FlyingFinn
    Agreed, mainly because St. Paul now plays longer than the rest. Therefore, the best one or two players at AA usually get bumped up to the Saints to get a little more playing time.
  27. FlyingFinn
    No, Mendez can't play anywhere on defense and can't hit many HR's. He is another DH and thus is stalled at AAA. He would make the team defense and team speed worse. We can't win playing so many DH types in the field. 1B would have been his ticket but he apparently can't play there.
  28. FlyingFinn
    I don't think Larnach or Ober will be on the Twins in 2027. The Twins need to improve defensively and with overall team speed. We may sacrifice a little hitting at first, but it's time for Jenkins and Rodriguez in 2027. Ober has some injury history in his past. With Lopez coming back, I think he will be traded in the off-season.
  29. FlyingFinn
    Fragoza is listed as INF/OF. If he keeps hitting on his way through the minors, where does he project defensively in the future and is he a plus or minus on defense?
  30. FlyingFinn
    Keaschall must hit in order to stay in MLB, and he is. Right now, he is a DH (yet another one). He needs to work on being an adequate left fielder because that's the only OF position his arm will allow. And that play yesterday where he turned a single into a triple wasn't good. It was terrible judgment. The ball wasn't really that close to the wall to bounce out to where he was standing. This is another reason many of us are high on both Jenkins and E-Rod (okay, maybe not so many are as high on E-Rod anymore). They can actually play defense. This will help our pitching.
  31. FlyingFinn
    Oddly, if Houston is really great and the Twins think he's their SS for years to come, I think he gets the Walker Jenkins treatment and comes up just late enough in August 2027 in order to get another year of control and the chance at rookie of the year in 2028. Culpepper did not get this treatment, which also says he's not quite at Jenkins level. That's my reading of the Twins tea leaves (been wrong many times before).
  32. FlyingFinn
    Vallimont has had enough great games that it's time to move him up to the Saints. Also nice to see Bohorquez turning his season around.
  33. FlyingFinn
    Martin and Roden mentioned going down when Buxton returns and they both have a sensational game recently.
  34. FlyingFinn
    Twins. He's not worth trading now, as his stock has dropped due to injuries. I say he will start in AAA if the 4th option year is true and then come up to the Twins. We waited out Buxton getting healthy enough to play worth $15 million/year. We will wait on the talent of Erod to be healthy (no sliding head first, I mean thumbs first).
  35. FlyingFinn
    It is interesting that the Twins seem to be keeping Jackson on the MLB roster so they have him for next year. With all the catching injuries, he won't make it through waivers.
