    Generally, the more defensive minded a team is, the more team speed it has. We need that as well.

    4.74 ERA wins Twins minor league pitcher of the year. Ouch!

    Love that LF defense by Rodriguez. Makes some of our other LF's look like they are running in cement. I wonder how many hits would have been outs had he been out there all season. Even though some want him traded, you can see the skills that excite people.

    The DH will be more by committee in 2027 as we want to play Jenkins, Rodriguez, Buxton and Keaschall all at the same time and they belong in the OF or DH, when the OF is filled with the other three.

    The Twins were very careful with Raya throughout his minor league career. They were successful in getting him healthy to get to the majors but not a high level to stay in MLB (yet, and it appears so for the future IMO). Not sure if that says the process was right or wrong.
  6. FlyingFinn
    No, Maki has done a good job. The bullpen was mostly AAA players to start the year and Lopez got hurt. There are young guys picking up the slack like Prielipp (pitching more innings than he has for years) and Morris. SWR and Ober just don't have the fastball for today's MLB.

    And what would you be saying if Rodriguez got just the 5 AB's after being called up on September 1.......................
  8. FlyingFinn
    Charlee Soto is very young and talented. Get him healthy next year and he would be added to the group.

    Always love reading this story. We leave this earth in God's timing.

    No, Fort Myers and the FCL Twins also had winning records.
  11. FlyingFinn
    The floor only helps the Twins if the FO spends it appropriately. If they just spend it on anyone to reach the floor, it's simply a waste of money.

    The team exceeded my expectations and Shelton will be back next year.

    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.
  14. FlyingFinn
    I disagree. Teams just don't draft hitters much in the Rule 5 draft. It's pitching, pitching, pitching.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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).
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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?
  22. 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.
  23. 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).
  24. 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.
  25. FlyingFinn
    Martin and Roden mentioned going down when Buxton returns and they both have a sensational game recently.
