The Many Takes of Luke Keaschall
Hawkeye Bean Counter replied to Matt Braun's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I can only imagine what the OP would be writing about if we had Jose Caballero LOL. -
The last couple of days with camp for the Vikings - if you want a personality go follow Charles Demmings. I think he may burn out a little bit over time personality wise. Its a crazy combination - has Preacher vibes, raps freestyle, has a motivational quote of the day, extremely loyal (stayed at Stephen F Austin even with NIL deals saying his team had unfinished business), with aspirational visions of not only himself but his team. Not only that but he is playing dang well so far. Top 1% athlete and played in a defense about as similar as you can get to Flores. Press coverage, blitzing.
-
They say in that league to take .100 off the OPS for a realistic number. So he is .627 hitter in AAA which is affectively his career norms.

56-58 Playoff Chances 25% Lottery odds #1 - 1% Top 6- 10%

Fedko's career may be done or at least sidelined for likely all of 2027. Tore his MCL/ACL/LCL the other day.

I would take a team full of really solid hitters. I would love to find a way to sign Arraez to bat on this team on a 3/4 year contract. The issue is finding a defensive fit. Whether plays some at 2nd, 1st or DH I would Make it work. We still seems to try to find these type of players. Gonzalez and Mendez are both defensively challenged bat first contact hitters. Mendez is my boy and has had a really good year in AAA. He is likely the closest thing we will have to an Arraez like player with a little more power.
-
Noah Miller is doing that in a league and stadium that inflates stats drastically. Noah Miller was rule 5 draft eligible this year and no one picked him up. He still isn't on the 40 man. Miller will be a career .600 OPS defensive replacement player and thats it. Houston is 2+ years younger. Houston is the type of player we were hoping Miller could be. Millers minor league career slashline .237/.319/..408 Houston (college and Minors) .311/.388/.459 Witchita .318/.396/.538

I have 1. Vahn Lackey 2A -Walker Jenkins 2B - Houston 4 - Culpepper Houston ceiling is a better hitting Greg Gagne. Thats a borderline hall of fame player. The defense is elite - the hit tool is very very good - he controls his at bats well, the power is improving and he is a menace on the base paths. His floor was already high. So yes I think he is a top 25 prospect in my opinion with a really high floor, and a very high ceiling. Now as I have been reminded - prospects are suspects and things change as you go up levels but I have a lot of confidence in all 4 of these players. As to Culpepper - there are 9 positions on the baseball field and 3rd base was always going to be a possibility for him. He can be the shortstop until Houston comes up.
-
Or just say he has a hearing issue and equip him with a cochlear implant that is paired with a microphone. LOL
-
56-58 Ill update the odds tomorrow,
-
I propose sign language.
-
I did say at least LOL.
-
We need at least 1 more run.
-
Need to do some damage here.
-
90 pitches in 5, I’ll take it. We were close to breaking it open but no cigar. Honestly though down 1 and into their bullpen, I like our odds.
-
I’ll take it Roden.
-
2 at 93 to Witt.
-
Well Ryan up to 92 mph. Maybe can get to 94 by the 6th.
-
Well 50 pitches in 3 innings. Keep working on him. Let’s see a 30-40 pitch inning and a couple runs in the fourth.
-
We are so focused on max exit velocity we are not sitting back and trying to drive the ball opposite field, and we are getting way ahead hitting on the end or inside of the bat, We refuse to be patient, If you are going opposite field then ahead you are driving to centerfield.
-
Dang we suck, I may have to rename the Post trade deadline thread, The Tank Part Duex.
-
His body starts breaking down after 4 months. We need to build in a 3 week break around all star break. 1 star on each side. Let him work out, refresh and get back to it.
-
Bats better get going because they are teeing off on Joe.
-
Well not today LOL.
