    The Twins won this trade by no longer having to deal with Josh Donaldson.

    It really feels as though this is the last chance for Kirilloff. Have to imagine that, if he's unable to make it back and remain healthy enough to stick with the team, he'll have to stop being someone the organization continues to put development money into. He has the talent and the right attitude, and it's such a shame to see the wrist keeping him from his full potential. At some point you need to shift the resources towards someone who has more stability. I also believe that Polanco is gone next year, and I hope he can contribute this season. Another example of a guy who has so much skill and potential to be an All Star every year, and has just been extremely hampered by injuries. Hoping he can return and have one last big impact on this team.

    Very interesting article. I think I may have been feeling overconfident in Alcala due to the ERA.

    Quite frankly he needs to be playing in CF. He is much more likely to get injured running the bases than making outfield grabs at this point. Then Michael Taylor can be the backup he is supposed to be on this team. This team is so short handed at the moment, so putting him in the field doesn't necessarily free up the DH position for anyone of immediate value, but as the team gets healthier, or as AAA guys are ready, they need to be playing Byron in CF at least most of the time.

    There's only so much you can do when facing two top tier pitchers, but this offense has really mastered the art of disappearing when facing good pitching. Correa is also looking similar to how he did at the beginning of 2022. A lot of terrible swings.
  6. Tyler from Oregon
    If Mark Contreras is playing for the Twins this season it's because there are significant problems going on, and the ship is sinking.

    These are all very realistic. That said, I think we are all sleeping on Correa. He was so good at the end of 2022 and I feel like he's going to have a monster season, after positively tweaking his swing late last year. My picks: Offensive MVP: Correa. The leader of this team is gonna lead. Pitching MVP: Joe Ryan. He's primed and ready to become a #1 guy. Sleeper: Kepler feels absolutely right to me. He's going to have the kind of season where they have to actually consider bringing him back next season. Super Sleeper: Larnach is going to hit 30+ home runs.

    Kyle and Donovan off the bench gives me LIFE.

    Farmer has been fun to watch. He was definitely an underwhelming signing when we all thought he was going to be the starting SS, but man, he's a heck of a guy to have as a depth piece.
  10. Tyler from Oregon
    We need a Zoom option so those of us who live in other states can day drink with y'all.
  11. Tyler from Oregon
    I can't believe how intimidating Larnach has looked at the plate. Pretty cool to see since we weren't sure he'd ever properly recover from last year's injury.
  12. Tyler from Oregon
    Other people have said it, but losing Coulombe while retaining Pagan feels like a slap in the ol' face of the fans.
  13. Tyler from Oregon
    Hard to argue with any of these choices.
  14. Tyler from Oregon
    This has officially amped me right up. I honestly feel like these are all realistic!
  15. Tyler from Oregon
    Pagan gets one implosion that causes a loss before I picket in front of Target Field for his release from the team.
  16. Tyler from Oregon
    I can't believe we are seriously having to talk about Willi Castro over Edouard Julien right now.
  17. Tyler from Oregon
    We have to stop focusing more on future value than on maximizing the talent we have right now. Thielbar is a legitimately good reliever and we need all of the help that we can get in that space, now and forever.
  18. Tyler from Oregon
    I feel like these projections are spot on. Of course, that said, the Sox could easily figure it out and win 90+ games and Cleveland's pitching could take a step backwards and they end up under .500. We shall see!
  19. Tyler from Oregon
    The easiest option for everyone is for Kenta to start the season on the IL and Ober to be in the starting rotation. We have likely seen the end of the dominant version of Maeda, and while that’s a bummer, the team can’t be held back because of it.
  20. Tyler from Oregon
    It had maybe been his first time actually on the DL, but he’s had seasons where he’s essentially playing on one leg, multiple times.
  21. Tyler from Oregon
    If Royce is able to make it back to full health, he's easily a Top 5 player on this team. Excited to see him back, soon.
  22. Tyler from Oregon
    It's been fascinating to watch the guy not only re-sign with the team, but then look awful during Spring Training, and now still have a spot on the roster. He must have some dirt of Falvey or something.
  23. Tyler from Oregon
    It's all going to come down to health. If guys are once again too banged up to play, this will be a 75-78 win team. If guys can stay healthy, for the most part, they are an 80-85 win team. If they are able to demonstrate consistent health, or at least stability within the positions (while not being forced to use players like Contreras or Tyler White on a regular basis) they will be an 85-90+ win team. I truly believe that, if this team is able to stay healthy, they win the AL Central and win a playoff game or two.
  24. Tyler from Oregon
    I still believe that, on paper, the Twins are a far superior team to Cleveland. That said, whether it's because of the way Francona manages the day-to-day, or if it's some next level culture buy-in that the players are all fully on board with, this team always surprises me and always gets hot at the right times. They seem to be a classy organization and it's hard to hate them. The White Sox, on the other hand...
  25. Tyler from Oregon
    Have to assume we see a lot of Larnach and Gordon against Righties. I have just been so unimpressed with Solano so far this Spring, but I'm trying to remind myself that his career numbers are very solid and that he's just ramping up. If he's able to stick around his career numbers, it makes sense that he's in the mix as well. Also, it seems almost certain that Buxton, Polanco and Kirilloff will end up being the three with the most time at DH, throughout the season, in an effort to keep them as healthy as possible.
