    I have said he has zero chance to be an MLB shortstop. Do you think he has any chance to stick there?
  2. FlyingFinn
    Martin Cott, 1968, third overall pick of the Astros. He was a catcher and made it to Cavaco's level, A ball. The very next pick..................Thurman Munson.

    Wow, the Saints can hit, even against a top ranked pitched. Rare great game for Adams at Wichita. They have so many quality starting pitchers there but they keep sticking with Adams in the rotation. Teams apparently have figured out Cardenas and Cossetti at AA. After really good April's, it's been all downhill. Cardenas OPS - .795 in April, .564 in May, and .300 (not a typo) in June. Cossetti - ..775, .729, and .225.

    I wouldn't get too excited. Guys coming off of an injury will often get one day off among the 6 games in a week or two weeks. Hopefully Varland's working on stuff as he's given up 3 runs in the 1st inning, two homers.

    Sabato (and Severino's) window to the Twins has closed. Santana is at 1B this year. With Lewis, Correa and Lee lined up for the other three spots, Miranda, Julien and Kirilloff are looking at 1B for 2025. Nice to see Sabato doing better. He will not be added to the 40 man over the winter. Keirsey, Raya, Olivar and Helman would all go on there before him IMO (and I don't think Keirsey and Helman will get added because of their age). The article says all teams love raw power. I'm not sure that's correct. Most of the talk about our sluggers (Wallner, Severino, Sabato) revolves around the strikeout rate being too high. They all get stuck at AAA.

    I don't see it unless the Twins are moving other players out of his way with trades. Unless we are moving Lewis to the OF (doubtful at this point), Miranda needs a spot. With Lee coming by 2025, Julien needs a spot (I think he is figuring things out and will return to 2023 form). If Kirilloff is still around, where does he play. All three of these guys (not including Severino) project towards 1B/DH with only Kirilloff able to play in the OF. The Twins play everyone and love flexibility on the bench. Severino isn't good on defense and doesn't play a lot of positions. We'll see. Things happen. I just don't see his path to the Twins.

    Keirsey returns for the Saints and plays DH. Picks up right where he left off with his hitting. That is a very nice lineup. The Twins hitters are currently doing well (including Margot and Farmer) so I just don't see Lee, Julien and/or Wallner moving up in the short-term. Speaking of Julien, he's 11 for his last 34 if I'm counting correctly. Very nice pitching - best outing ever by Charlee Soto. Boushley did great and Langenberg did good. Anyone notice on Nowlin - was he great for 4 innings and then couldn't find the strike zone? See he had 4 shutout innings and couldn't get out of the 5th. Quality bullpen guys - Grace, Yanez and Velez. Wonder if we can move any of them up the ladder.
  8. FlyingFinn
    Agreed. And where is Ober in the top three WPA above.........................nowhere to be found. Obviously not a good stat to follow.
  9. FlyingFinn
    If Emma Rodriguez was healthy, he would also be on track for AAA at mid-season. If Helman could stay healthy, I'm a fan of his (I know he's older than the rest of these guys mentioned). Nice group of guys trying to push out some MLB guys and get their chance (or 2nd chance).
  10. FlyingFinn
    Michael Helman, on the 7 day IL. The problem is that if Helman wants to get to MLB, he really needs to work more on in the outfield, at least as far as the current Twins roster goes.
  11. FlyingFinn
    Spencer Bengard is looking like our next Bailey Ober. A 15th round pick, he is having a sensational season. It's early and only low A ball but a very nice start for him.
  12. FlyingFinn
    Rooker for Raya and Schobel - NO WAY! Rooker for Schobel - No.
  13. FlyingFinn
    A couple oddities in the Wichita game - Morris only went four innings after giving up just one run (guess he threw 80 pitches so not as odd as I thought). Sabato pulled very early in the game as well.
  14. FlyingFinn
    No. There's 1.5 million reasons nobody will claim him and $1.5 million reasons Jackson will accept the assignment to St. Paul.
  15. FlyingFinn
    And it usually ends with @USAFChief explaining the rule of holes!
  16. FlyingFinn
    Unless a trade costs almost nothing, I would rather add Varland and Festa to the bullpen in September.
  17. FlyingFinn
    I actually don't remember and didn't look it up to see if MacLeod is part of this group or if injuries made his organizational start late. He has had some ups and downs but more ups lately. He missed so much time so I'm also keeping my eye on him as a late bloomer. And Nowlin isn't from 2022 but I am really excited about him lately. He has had some great games with very few walks (his bugaboo).
  18. FlyingFinn
    I agree. And if we are waiting another month, might as well wait just a little longer and maintain his rookie status for 2025. Go for ROY and earn an extra first round draft pick. As others are saying, there isn't any need to rush him at this point.
  19. FlyingFinn
    I really think Julien will start hitting better, much like Wallner. Then, Julien will get called up and Castro will return to LF and everywhere else. The Twins want Lee to master AAA, from both the left and right sides.
  20. FlyingFinn
    Kirilloff should have told the Twins about his back. But so should Joe Ryan have told the Twins about his injury last year. So many athletes try this and do nothing but look terrible, both with their injured play and telling the team weeks later.
  21. FlyingFinn
    Twins are playing well and winning. No change needed right now. But Margot, Farmer, and Martin need to play well or it's Wallner time. Martin has the options but the Twins really like having his speed and utility in what used to be the Castro position.
  22. FlyingFinn
    After injuring his thumb, he immediately slides head first (actually thumb first) into second base for a double. Looked like he injured it much worse than the first time on the video. Just not a smart play in my opinion. Practice your feet first slides. If you make an extra out because of it, oh well. I think he will be out awhile just because they don't want him injuring it a third time and don't want him to change his swing because of the thumb hurting.
  23. FlyingFinn
    They have much more talent now than in April. Helman and Lee were injured, Wallner and Julien were with the Twins. Get Keirsey back and call up Emma Rodriguez when he gets healthy and you could have a great team in St. Paul. And, as others have said, there is a difference between facing the best pitching versus the worst pitching team in the league.
  24. FlyingFinn
    Kind of ironic that they called up Payton Eeles to take his place, an undrafted free agent signee. Eeles deserved the call up.
  25. FlyingFinn
    Wallner suddenly is on one his hot streaks. Sometimes these things last for a while, too. Nowlin - I think that's 3 out of 4 decent games and this one was just dominant. Who says the Twins don't let their minor league pitchers throw some innings as he went 8! The lack of walks with this just makes his ceiling so high. Consistency is what he needs now.
