  1. I don't think Wallner will make enough contact to even come close to 40 HR. It's nice to dream though...
  2. Outman out, Roden in. Would much rather see a Martin/Roden platoon in LF than see Outman or Larnach out there. Pitching wise, if Abel keeps pitching like he has this spring, then he needs a spot in the rotation. I'm very worried for our bullpen, especially from the right side. They need to sign a Kopech or someone.
  3. Keep Keaschal at 2nd and let him improve his defense with everyday reps. If Culpeper gets called up I think Lee would be a good utility guy who could cover 2nd, SS, and 3rd. With Lewis always being an injury risk it'd be nice to have Lee as the backup. We have more than enough outfielders, I say let him get comfortable in the infield.
  4. Probably a good risk to take, but they won't. We have an amazing pitching pipeline after all ;)
  5. There has got to be something going on when similar injuries happen this early three years in a row...
  6. Season hasn't even started and the injuries have already begun. I think a good way for the new Pohlad to prove he wants to be competitive would be to bring in some reinforcement. Sign Giolito or Litell for the rotation and bring in Kopech to shore up the right side of the pen. At this point he could probably be had on another minor league deal
  7. Larnach and Wallner may be on their last year with the Twins unless they truly break out. With Roden, Martin, Rodriguez, Gonzalez and Jenkins looking close to being ready, there is just no roster spots for them anymore. Gotta go with the higher upside, younger, more athletic guys I think.
  8. I think they need the limited roster spot for the OF. This roster construction is already a mess, they need to clean it up and even it out, not make it worse...
  9. Long term, I think they need to move on from Larnach and Wallner, unless one of them can learn to play a competent first base. They need to go younger and more athletic meaning Martin and Roden in left and eventually E Rod in RF.
  10. I hope Mendez gets plenty of 1B reps this year. His bat is intriguing, but we have too many LH OF already. Culpeper could be a fun guy to watch if he stays healthy this year, I had no idea he had that kind of velo.
  11. The only thing that matters are ACTUAL numbers, and Outman is not a starter. He would maybe even pass through waivers. He has no business taking at bats away from Martin, Roden, E Rod, Jenkins, Gonzalez, etc....
  12. Martin deserves a roster spot. Both Larnach and Wallner are nothing more than DH's at this point and are definitely blocking younger more exciting outfielders.
  13. An Of of Jenkins, Rodriguez and Gonzalez is a nice idea. Now we just need some IF prospects. Culpeper should work out hopefully, but he might be another year away. I think with the way the season is likely to play out, it's time to move on from some of these redundant, defensively limited guys (Wallner, Larnach, Outman) and let the young kids play and develop.
  14. As others have said already, the roster construction on this team is an absolute mess:(
  15. I'm guessing they will trade away anyone not nailed down or injured at the deadline this year when we're in last place.
  16. I wouldn't mind a platoon of Roden and Martin in LF. Outman shouldn't even be in the conversation and I think Larnach best serves the team as a trade candidate. Trade him for either a reliever or a legit backup IF who can play SS.
  17. If he gets consistent reps day to day in LF, rather than being moved all over the diamond like they love to do with young players, I could see him becoming a pretty good defender out there.
  18. I have to believe Kopech could be had real cheap or even on a minor league deal at this point with Spring training under way. We should be set with 4 lefties, but we definitely still need some better arms from the right side. Signing Kopech and then picking up a legit late inning veteran in a trade would at least help. Plus, we need to clean up this horrible roster construction. Way to many DH's, far too many LH outfielders, no legit infielders and not much of a bullpen. This needs to be addressed.
  19. Gotta keep him as a starter until it looks like he won't stick. Then move him to the pen and let him air it out. I think moving all these young guys to relief roles just because we have a need in the pen is a bad long term plan. Starters are much more valuable than relievers.
  20. I'd take Giolito or Zach Litell. Pick up one of these veteran starters on a one year prove it deal, then do the same for Kopech to round out the pen. Probably the best we can hope for at this point, but I don't expect they make any more moves.
  21. I'm curious what kind of a haul we could get for Ryan, Jeffers and Buxton. I think if we get young, controllable near MLB ready talent in return, the Twins may only be a year or two away from relavence. I think this year will be a testing year to see what we've got as far as our top offensive prospects go. Jenkins, Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Culpeper, Fedko, Rosario etc. could add guys like Bradley, Abel, Rojas to that list. If we trade Ryan we need some top level pitching prospects to rebuild the rotation. Thinking guys like Early from Bosox or Tong or the other guy from NYM....
  22. I think this is the year he needs to prove whether he can be a starting infielder or a utility guy, which is probably what's best. Hopefully Culpeper continues mashing and forces a call up.
  23. I'm expecting another massive sell off at the deadline. Best we can hope for is young, MLB or near MLB ready talent in exchange for Ryan, Buxton and Jeffers.
