    Used to be that baseball was a sport where size didn't matter. Little guys could make it, big guys could too. Never forget Killebrew was 5' 10". I remember going to Target Field for the first time and seeing Dustin Pedroia standing at first base next to Morneau, two MVPs, two great players, two very different frames. Well, not so much anymore. Twins have ten picks, not one under 6' 2", nor less than 210 lbs. Times have changed.

    Small matter, but Carson has the best overall name from Day 1 of the draft: Tinney. Kind of like it, nice play on "tin", which has some baseball connotations for the sound off the bat (in college), but also, ironically "tiny", which for a guy of his size would be a perfect nick-name.

    Maybe the Twins see a RH Schwarber in this guy, kind of like Sabato is now. Oops.

    Who knows? I've seen the Twins getting "stuck" with Lackey, then with Emerson, now potentially with Cholowsky. May the Gods of Baseball bless the Twins with the best player available at number 3. It's leftovers with a side of All-Star potential.

    It definitely has potential. It's like being at a game with some friends and shooting the **** and commenting on the action as needed, which is how baseball is experienced by people at the park. That said, one of the commenters has to kind of keep up with the action and events on the field and guide the audience somewhat on what is happening. When Adams walks the lead off hitter in the 7th on four pitches, someone has to say: "No, you can't do that and be a successful major league reliever." And then they pick up that thread and discuss it. Was it nerves? Did he just not command that slider to start the inning? We will still want insight, especially at key junctures in a game or a player's moment in the sun. In other words, amidst all the banter, there needs to be some solid analysis of specific situations on the field, on the season, on the opponent, on the players -- give us insights and not just a clubby tour through the lives of the former players on the set. So, potentially a very nice time listening to them talk, but also, without a leader or a direction, could be just banter that doesn't add value or expertise to what is happening on the field.

    Some team will claim Jackson at Catcher. But, it was sure worth having him in AAA. With Caratini and Jeffers the Twins will be even better behind the plate.

    He's got a hole in his swing, fastball up and inside. The Twins know it, the league knows it -- there's simply not much that can be done. And, where can you play him in the field? Luckily there's a half dozen more LH outfielders in the Twins system ready to give MLB a shot. Hitting is hard; the best get a hit every third time up. Not wanting to cap on Matt but selling insurance is a lot easier.

    Given the Twins are 2nd in runs scored, and I haven't heard anyone mention him yet, but what about the Twins'hitting coach? I mean, I don't even remember his name, but he came from Detroit and they hit well under him too. He's getting good results from somewhat marginal talent.

    Last year's crash out of contention and stripping of assets is looking better and better as time goes on. Like virtually any team in MLB, going young is proving to be a great way to build back a competitive team. Twins will get another crack at it in the '26 Draft and it sure looks like they will get a winner, though how many right side infielders we can funnel to the majors is an open question.

    Twins need a shortstop who can field well and hit well. Seems like they have two of them in their system, one at AAA and one at A. I know it's complicated, but shouldn't they advance the two in their system and let the chips fall where they may? Isn't that why the minor leagues exist in the first place, to bring forward prospects to MLB?

    Are Tait and Jimenez both catchers and both at Cedar Rapids? Didn't Diaw just move up? What's the plan here at catcher? Going to need a someone next year with Jeffers on the move to a new team.

    I think this is a legitimate question: what's Luke's best position? He's a gamer, so we want him in the lineup and on the field. But where? A second baseman with range and an arm is a huge asset. Watch the kid from St. Louis sometime, Weatherholt. He's making plays and saving runs and he can hit. Luke has good range, but, that's his best defensive asset. The arm ain't great, and it feels like he has the bobbles on ground balls he has to chase down. Finishing double plays, also not a strong point. Would Royce be better at second base than Keaschall? Great question. Keaschall is young and may develop, especially after his broken arm but so far, it's a fair question to figure out where he is best. Could well be Left Field given his leg speed.

    I saw that in the boxscore and I was scratching my head: who the hell is Jenkins? Oh, that guy. I know all the deep stats look good for him, but, so far it's been a pretty vanilla run through the minors.

    Great, another thing to worry about in regards to the Twins. He's over the hill. How about we just give up on this team, this player, and the whole organization? Don't watch them, post on this site, or even consider baseball as a possible thing. Less stress that way.

    Lewis' defense at 3B has been adequate, and so has Lee. The infielder who is inadequate is Bell. Thus, one of Lee or Lewis needs to get a mitt and learn how to play 1B for the good of the team. And yes, it is time to bring up Culpepper at short. Exactly what are they waiting for?
