    He's not on the 40 man. That's a big hurdle, but if he's effective and looks like he can help, the FO will find him a spot. If they have to pay him he'll get a shot if he looks good.

    I think the problem is between his ears, not his pitch selection. He did well at the end of last year pitching in low pressure situations. lets see what he does with the game on the line. Wait, forget that just keep using him in mop up situations.

    Megill still has options left. Send him him down and when one of the starters goes down (odds are it won't take long) bring him back up. I know Ober didn't pitch much last year but he was effective when he did.

    I still think the Twins go with a 6 man rotation, so Ober stays as the sixth man. We started with six last year and we still have a bunch of fragile arms in the rotation.

    If he would take $1m with some incentives thrown in, it would be worth the risk. That way if he doesn't work out the urge to hang onto him and fix him isn't great. I say do it.

    Going to get to Cedar Rapids early this year before he is gone.

    Excellent take on things. The only place I disagree with you is Randy Dobnak, If he is healthy and the need arises I think he goes right behind Ober. There paying him 1.5 million this year so If he's healthy and pitching well and the team needs a starter hes going to be used. Also you are absolutely right about Caitlin Clark, She's a human highlight show all by herself.

    I don't know if Pagon is fixable. My gut says no, every time he was in a big moment he would lay a pitch right down the middle. When I think about Lopez all I can see is him giving up a game losing hit and being on his hands and knees beating the pitching rubber. Is he unable to control his emotions. As Gaetti once said, Its hard to play when both hands are around your throat. I think both these guys have that problem.

    The Twins moved him around a lot in 21, trying to find a home for him. Last Year he was at 2nd base exclusively, except for a few games as the DH. Looks like they have decided 2nd is his home and are going to leave him there.

    Even if Ryan's arm fell off tomorrow, the Twins did ok on this trade. Joe supplied a lot of innings last year for a team that was desperate for them. Nothing Cruz did would have helped the team more. I agree with Dr Gast about him coming back some day as a coach.

    I don't have a problem with his ranking, but people may be disappointed by the speed with which he rises threw the system. Tommy john and only 28 innings in 3 years. Don't be surprised if it takes most of this year just to get his command back. He could easily spend all year in A ball. That wouldn't make him a failure.

    I would like to to see him play out his career here too. Keeps his head down and shows up every day. Never wants a day off. Who would of thought between him and Sano that he would be the better player. Sadly I think he will be gone soon. to may good young infielders coming up and the hot prospect always looks shiny and new.

    Winder, I remember someone saying, Bremmer maybe. That Winder suggested after he went on the injured list the last time there may be something structurally wrong with his shoulder that may keep him from being a starter.
  14. Ricky Vaughn
    I remember when DaShawn Keirsey was drafted a lot of people were high on him. Then he kind of fell into oblivion. Last year he finally hit a little. Has he figured something out?
  15. Ricky Vaughn
    No one fits the mold so you have to ask who should get the most PA's. Buxton or Correa.
  16. Ricky Vaughn
    I don't care for it either. Many say he will never be worth more. What is the reasoning? His knee's or power. After spending the winter working out with Nelson Cruz his power numbers went up and he said near the end of the season that his knee's were pain free all season. He pulled a hamstring in the second half, his knee was'nt the problem. I think if he had a full healthy season 40 doubles and 12-15 homeruns are posible. I don't think his value is done going up. In my humble opinion winning a trade should not be the goal. If everyone gets what they traded for, the teams will be much more receptive to dealing with each other again. All that said I do thik the trade was good and fair deal. I will miss seeing him play and hope he goes on to a long career.
