  1. Exactly. I've mentioned this a few times myself. I don't know about trading Duran, but the guys who become free agents are all on the block; and Castro could bring a solid return; certainly a solid #2 catcher.
  2. You beat me to it. I normally agree that our starters ought to go deeper when their pitch count is in order. But Festa needed a good outing and outcome. A couple more of those and he can start going deeper.
  3. Sadly, that is on the money. The Royce Lewis we saw in 2023 does not appear (athletically) to be the same guy in 2025.
  4. I am hopeful that Royce Lewis returns, plays well and remains healthy. Referring to him as a star player is difficult to comprehend given his limited track record.
  5. Given the terrible play by the parent club, the minor league reports are far and away the most interesting to me. Julien's bat is heating up. If only he had a position he could field. Kaelen Culpepper continues to impress.
  6. I think your analogy is poor. Going into specifics would only be unkind. Let's leave it at that; shall we?
  7. I love your optimism. Unfortunately, even if the Twins rebound, I don't believe they are nearly strong enough to go deep in the playoffs. I would certainly listen to offers on any of the players with expiring contracts if the Twins would benefit in the future from the deal.
  8. It's a thing called accountability. And it ought to send a message to the team that they have to play hard through 27 outs.
  9. I saw Winokur twice in spring training and was highly impressed. Played SS both games and looked good despite being really tall. Looks a bit like Ripken did before he filled out. If only that were his path!
  10. but slow and impotent is a problem! Reminds me of a quote from Animal House. "Fat, dumb and lazy is no way to go through life". I butchered the quote, but hey, it's been a few years/decades!
  11. While I don't disagree with your comments, I would add that firing Rocco might help fans believe that someone is paying attention. I do understand that he doesn't hit, pitch or field. I would also do something to shake up the players.
  12. Rocco needs to bench Lee for a couple of games after not running out the strike out/passed ball.
  13. I don't really understand the metric and definitely don't understand Buxton's number.

  15. I think the Twins should sink or swim with what they have. Any trade, even a successful one, is not going to make the Twins a true world series threat. I would like to see a focus on our younger players rather than retreads or guys who are never going to be everyday players. Let's see what these guys have. Keaschall is an obvious choice to play every day. I hope he is back soon. The twins certainly have a number of players on the 40 man roster who are not worthy.
  16. Clearly fielding has not been a priority! And unless Gaspar is a decent catcher (haven't seen him catch), he has no fielding position. Right now, given the absence of hitting, i would be tempted to call him up to DH 2/3 games a week until we get keaschal and/or Lewis back...or if Gaspar doesn't hit.
  17. My biggest problem with Julien is I don't see a field position for him.
  18. I hate your comments. I don't want to agree with them. You can't make me. Actually, yes you can. Even if the Twins are able to sneak into the playoffs, they won't be going anywhere. Might as well try to improve the team long term vs. this season.
  19. Buxton was not a free agent. And while he is not going to the poor house, he makes much less than Correa.
