    Larnach has competitive productive at bats. However, he's a defensive liability because of his speed and arm. I'd like to see what Martin and Roden could do with more reps. We have a couple.more outfielders in AAA, so now is the time for consistent starting. I will say that Larnach is a ballplayer.

    Essentially, knowledge is power, or in this case trading effectiveness. I like the Rays. They have pitchers.

    "The Twins were gaining momentum." Yes, "are" is more accurate, and with Buxton on the bench...again. It is more accurate to say at this point Buxton is irrelevant, again. Personally, I like him. I think he's a great team mate. I wish the Twins could trade him. Buxton is very likable, but same old IL story.

    Your article is humorous; the (mythical) missing piece.

    Those who know MLB baseball also know the trade can't be evaluated for two years. This is essentially the male equivalent of "gossip", otherwise known as bs'in. The Twins should be building toward the World Series. If not, then one shouldn't own a MLB team. Wild Card purgatory didn't help Joe Mauer any, did it?

    It's not a brain freeze. He hasn't played enough games at first base to call it that. It's called a lack of training and repetition. With proper training and enough repetition any player will automatically make that play to home without hesitation.

    It seems to me that how soon prospects will arrive should figure into the rankings. With that in mind I would easily put Walker Jenkins as number one. Lackey won't arrive till at least September 2027, while Walker Jenkins will be here this September. IF he remains healthy. I would like to see the Twins make durability a larger aspect of prospects, as I grow weary of the constantly injured multiple Minnesota Twins prospects. It seems obvious, but you're not doing the Twins organization any good if you can't play.
  18. Derojo
    Any Rockies pitcher that has an ERA under three, is impressive. The Twins cannot give up much. We do have too many outfielders, and lesser prospects would be ok.
  19. Derojo
    No way, and the Twins rotation is strong only in comparison to the relievers. And, the relievers have improved lately which is something not true about the starters. I'm not complaining as the Twins are out performing, and more important they have a lot of potential in the minors. They picked Banda, Gomez, and Nance for very little; all wins. They also got Clemens, and Roden has potential. Kreidler is not likely a starter but he's a SS and versatile in playing different positions. The Twins have done well this year.
  20. Derojo
    Twins, a post season contender for what? Ryan has arm fatigue and Pablo is out for the year; their two best starters. Playoffs are a step up from the regular season. The Twins are outperforming so far. They don't have enough pitching all around to do diddly squat, IF they won a wild card so what? It would be experience, that's all. Don't make any trade of legit prospects. Getting something for Jeffers is fine but another SS makes zero sense.
  21. Derojo
    The Twins should be focused on long term plans, so that they can make it back to the World Series before next century (sarcasm). The short term is irrelevant. Even if they were to make a trade or two and became a Wild Card team this year; they're not going anywhere. Focus on 28-29, to become a dangerous playoff team. Young talent makes teams dangerous, even if typically, young players need some playoff experience to attain the ALCS level.
  22. Derojo
    I really like Jeffers, but getting a reasonable prospect (likely not a top tier one) is better than getting nothing. Caratini is solid, and Jackson still needs more playing time to see if this year's stats are an outlier, or if Jackson has considerably figured out hitting. As for the Twins trading prospects, only on an equal trade value; essentially trading positions, such as pitcher for giving up a position player. Likely not the Twins top tier prospects; one to five, or even one to ten.

    Bailey Ober doesn't belong in this discussion. He's a solid four, or maybe three starter. He's not going to shut teams down, but he rarely implodes. He gives you 5-6 innings of solid pitching; and an opportunity to win the game. That fits the 3-4 slots.
  25. Derojo
    Rojas especially,, yet also Tait have significant upside. If the goal is the World Series, trading high upside talent is ridiculous. I have no interest in wild card purgatory teams, which, no fault with Joe, is what we had in the Mauer era.
  26. Derojo
    You have to get at least two highly rated prospects for him. Even then, it's a crap shoot with prospects. Look at Buxton; great talent and yet physically flawed durability. Jeffers is durable in comparison.
