    That is an interesting plan. With that in mind, the Twins have so many promising young outfielders, that I would like to see them in left and right field next season. I still think Keaschall can be a solid 2nd baseman. That leaves the problem at SS. I think the Twins ceiling in 26 is decent; but not in contention for anything other than a possibly watered down central. I'm willing to wait at SS for Culpepper to be ready. If he doesn't develop as hoped/expected, then the Twins have to make a move at SS.

    I really want the Twins to move Larnach. I don't dislike Larnach and he is relatively solid. But I want the Twins to give our young outfielders a true chance.

    Happily, you are right. I was only somewhat concerned regarding Fedko. However, with the Twins needs at First Base, I think Fedko is worthy of a good look in spring training. and that would have made him worthy of protection. Our options are bleak at first base and the Twins indicated they are not considering moving Larnach or Wallner to the position.

    That's the bottom line for all responses. We are fans and don't know as much as the team. What is your point? You could make this comment on every single response. That said, Gasper, Kreidler, Outman and possibly Julien are guys that I don't see adding value to the Twins. And yes, THAT IS AN OPINION! Happily, Culpepper and Fedko were not taken.

    Of course you can't believe the Billionaires comments on money. And Falvey is signing his termination if he thinks this team just needs tweeking to compete.
  6. Jeff K
    I am very concerned about Culpepper and somewhat concerned about Fedko. As Tony & Rodney pointed out, there were plenty of players protected that have no chance of a meaningful contribution to the big club.
  7. Jeff K
    We will have to disagree. With his age and injury history he is not even close to worth what you stated.
  8. Jeff K
    Failing injuries, I can't imagine Outman making the Twins out of Spring Training. He cost next to nothing to acquire and the Twins traded much more to acquire Roden...not to mention that Roden appears to have a future; something that is not there for Outman.
  9. Jeff K
    And to your point, I think the Twins need to replace both corner outfielders to improve their defense and speed. Perhaps hang onto Wallner as a DH and emergency outfielder.
  10. Jeff K
    The rule 5 first base options do look interesting.
  11. Jeff K
    As a long shot, sure, anything can happen. But can the Twins compete with the best teams in the AL with their current bunch. I don't see it.
  12. Jeff K
    Those are the guys I think have the best chance of being good players.
  13. Jeff K
    Forgetting the numbers. If the window for success were open, you could consider another old rental. The Twins either need to develop a young first baseman, convert an existing player to first or trade for a young, controllable player. The window is not open, so another one year rental makes no sense to me.
  14. Jeff K
    I'm with you on nearly all of this. I really think that Jax was just bad last year. While the metrics are saying bad luck, his sample size of getting crushed was significant. I think that trade is a win; however, as you and others have stated, we need a couple of years to know.

    I hate the idea of Byron leaving, but no one could possibly blame him. I do quibble with the premise of the article that Correa pushed his way out. I feel pretty darned sure that the Twins knew they could not reload, rebuild (however you want to put it) with his albatross of a contract hanging over them.
  16. Jeff K
    I would very much like Roden and Fedko to get a shot at first base. They could both bomb there, but was is there to lose given the current roster?
  17. Jeff K
    No. Stated another way; NO!
  18. Jeff K
    100% agree. Fedko and Culpepper are at risk and why? Certainly not for so many of the guys still on the roster. I think the Twins started Fedko a few times this year at some level. I wonder if he demonstrated any aptitude for it.
  19. Jeff K
    No to Goldschmidt. The Twins need to solve first base long term. Probably from an existing minor leaguer in the system. Trade Larnach, for anything. I wouldn't have tendered him. I'm not the fan of Raya that many seem to be. Definitely need to convert some starters including Prielipp to relief. Give the keys to the youngsters in the Outfield + Buxton (if he is still here). I would trade Ryan, but only for a kings ransom.
  20. Jeff K
    Pintar is a definite no as we already have prospects that might be better. Jordan and Rumfield look very interesting and I think it would make sense to try and grab one of them. The twins situation at first base in frankly in dire need of help. Julien is not a major league player and Clemens is best as a twice a week utility player.
  21. Jeff K
    I like the trade considering who the Twins are. He ought to be a decent back up catcher which the Twins desperately need. Perhpas they can now move on from Gaspar when they make their next move. And for the love of Shaboom, please trade Larnach! Our young outfielders need to play MLB.
  22. Jeff K
    This has no business here.
  23. Jeff K
    100%. I am on board with all of this. Emma's performance is MOST encouraging.
  24. Jeff K
    No kidding. I can't see any value in considering Julien as part of the equation, especially in comparing him to Larnach. neither can field, but Larnach has hit some. I am ok with non tendering Larnach, but Julien is not the answer. Additionally, I have no idea why there is a so called crunch for the Twins 40 man roster. There are several players remaining, including Julien, who could easily be jettisoned.
  25. Jeff K
    A continuation of the September lineup is not ok; I 100% agree with that. I will say that Clemens has a decent glove whereas Julien's is mostly iron. Ironglove Julien should never play a position for the Twins again. If I squint really really hard, maybe I can see his bat come around and he can DH. But not for the Twins. Julien needs to go. If he is a major league player, then some other team can resurrect his career. Clemens can be an ok 1st baseman and utility player until the Twins figure out a better option. I would give Fedko a chance or convert another player to first base. I've previously suggested Wallner and maybe it's not him. I don't care. It can't be Julien. He is an awful fielder.
