From a Bobby Nightengale Strib article today.
Brock Stewart, who underwent shoulder surgery last August, said he is expected to begin pitching in spring training games next week. It keeps him on track to start the season on time.
We’ve used 8 starters the past 2 years. A lot of Paddack hate on here but we’ll need his innings. Festa, Matthews and at least one of Raya, Morris, Adams will get some time with the big club
Love to see Castellano pitch his way into a trade or Tonkin DFA etc. He was the Phils MiLB pitcher of the year and has looked it so far.
Cartaya vs Camargo for the 2026 back up spot. I don’t think Gasper has played in a ST game yet?
Catchers in the system - Diaw, Winkel, Cosetti, Cardenas are question marks
2025 draft has some catcher depth per Jamie Cameron and we have 4 picks in the top 100?
Thanks for providing this list. Looking beyond Emma and Jenkins.
Love me some Keaschall. Mid-season call up seems likely. 2nd base and/or corner OF are the best path forward.
Can Amick hit his way to 1st baseman of the future (2026 and beyond)?
We are going to use at least eight pitchers this year. Matthews will join the big club at some point. Great to see him be effective today.
Thanks for the Keaschall update, was wondering when he’d hit the field.⚾️
Based on 2024 averages we’ll need 842 innings of SP to get through 162 games. Looking at the Fangraphs projections the Twins will need Lopez, Ober, Ryan, SWR, Paddack, Festa, and Matthews to get there.
In 23 and 24 we only had 2 SPs pitch the whole season. López/Gray and Lopez/Ober. We’ll need the depth and it looks better to start 25 (Desclafani and Varland were the 5th and 6th LY)
Let the Sheriff wrangle up some innings 🤠⚾️
