    Great article.
  2. Jeff K
    Easy decision to offer. I think it's unlikely that Jeffers accepts; however, I'd love to see him for one more season which gets the Twins closer to Lackey.
  3. Jeff K
    You extrapolated quite a bit from my simple comment. The twins can't be afraid to take chances. Staying the course isn't going to cut it. The comment is for the team and organization in general.
  4. Jeff K
    Taking no chances = no playoffs. You have to weigh risk vs. reward; but you can't always be risk adverse.
  5. Jeff K
    While it seemed like an obvious decision to decline Bell's option; I never take it for granted. Glad they made this decision.
  6. Jeff K
    I don't think this decision is difficult. Offer the QO. If he takes it, it's one year and gets the Twins closer to their internal solutions; hopefully Lackey. I would make no attempt to sign him to a multi year contract. As many have pointed out, his defensive numbers are quite poor.
  7. Jeff K
    I would trade Ober for whatever they can get unless it's just terrible. I would trade Ryan assuming they get good value for him. I would not have a problem with the Twins moving on from both given the free agency challenge facing them after 2027.

    And Bradley
  9. Jeff K
    Goldschmidt has a great future in his past. NOOOOOO
  10. Jeff K
    Baldelli did Seattle a favor. Yes he had crappy ownership and GM(s), but he appeared to be unwilling to manage by anything other than his computer.
  11. Jeff K
    A bit "Lowe" on octane. Would prefer a stronger move.
  12. Jeff K
    So many great choices is truly a bad thing. I'm going with Caratini because he was an unforced error by Falvey/Zoll.
  13. Jeff K
    I would retain both Ober and Lewis, but try like heck to trade both. For now, I would keep Banda and let Sands go. Plenty of easy choices to part ways with the player.
  14. Jeff K
    I think Rojas should be a bullpen pitcher for 2027 which is where he has the potential to help the Twins the most for the season...unless the Twins move several starters through trades. Starting pitching options for Rojas can be revisited for 2028.
  15. Jeff K
    Please no! What a horrible thought!
  16. Jeff K
    I agree, and Kremer has a track record as a solid 4th or 5th starter. I think Ryan and Ober are the best choices to try and trade this off-season; however, it all depends on what the trade market can bring.
  17. Jeff K
    This looks like a good hire.
  18. Jeff K
    I agree with your comments. If required to provide an actual grade, I would give him a C- because of his mishandling the catchers and not getting value for Jeffers. I hope he has this on his to do list: 1. Extend Bradley & Keaschall. And it wouldn't break my heart to see Culpepper extended. 2. Make improvements to the team at 1st base that are more than a one year band aid. 3. Pick up a couple of quality relief pitchers. 4. Continue to make way for the young position players which means moving on from Larnach and possibly/probably Lewis.
  19. Jeff K
    Maybe this isn't what you meant, but the Big Papi mistake has haunted our pages for too long. You can't be afraid to make a mistake. The one with Big Papi was obviously gigantic, but we can't keep making comparisons with other players for fear of another big mistake. It's just not relevant. I do agree that Royce's glove at 1b looked pretty good and will likely get even better. But he needs a fresh start elsewhere. He is seemingly stuck in his head and the Twins haven't been able to help that.
  20. Jeff K
    Extend; extend; extend him!
  21. Jeff K
    Exactly. I'm pulling for Emma to be successful, but the jury is definitely still out. Roden is a solid player and is a reasonably known quantity. And he brings more to the table than Larnach given his ability to play all outfield positions and maybe first base.
  22. Jeff K
    Your last line is reason enough to ensure that Larnach is off the roster. If they can trade him pre-arbitration; great. If not, don't offer arbitration. Cut him loose!
  23. Jeff K
    Keaschall could be a good choice for first. That said, I am still betting on his athleticism making him a solid outfielder with more experience. I am not a Lewis supporter and am ready for the Twins to move on, but they need a solution at first base before doing so. It's not Sabato.
  24. Jeff K
    I feel like the Twins inability to Trade Larnach at the deadline is either a result of asking too much, or other teams not wanting a part time DH. I would let him go. Lewis is a tougher decision because the Twins don't currently have a great solution for first base. As many have previously noted, Clemens is best suited for multiple positions vs. anchoring him at first base. The Twins need to solve first base long term and Lewis does not appear to be that guy. They should try to make a trade that yields a solid and controllable first baseman...not named Royce Lewis.
  25. Jeff K
    I'm all about improving the fielding. I'm not aware of Jeffer's past performance at first base. If it's bad, then I agree 100%
