    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.
  2. LambchoP
    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.
  3. LambchoP
    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.
  4. LambchoP
    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.
  5. LambchoP
    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.

    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....
  7. LambchoP
    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.

    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.
  9. LambchoP
    Wow, seasons over before it even begins. Guess we should've traded him lol.
  10. LambchoP
    Looks like we have 4 lefties for the pen. We need a late inning righty though. Can we get Kopech cheap, or on a minor league deal?
  11. LambchoP
    I wonder what they would give us for Larnach and Jackson. Just getting rid of those two would help clean up our log jammed 26 msn roster. We still need MLB late inning relief pitchers. I know we just got Banda and a few minor league signings, but it's not enough to be competitive yet.
  12. LambchoP
    As the roster looks now, F. We knew going into the off-season they needed to completely rebuild the pen, which they haven't done. Our horrible defense from last year has actually gotten worse. We will be battling CHI for last place in the AL Central I'm guessing:(
  13. LambchoP
    If he has a good spring I wouldn't mind seeing a platoon of him and Martin in LF. At least until Jenkins, Rodriguez or Gonzalez are ready. Outman has no business in the big leagues unless he has completely reworked his swing, which would be hard to believe.
  14. LambchoP
    I'm just wondering if any spring training games will be available to watch on MLB.tv?
  15. LambchoP
    For this bullpen to even be passable, we need to sign a veteran MLB arm and then trade for another veteran MLB arm. We need someone to cover the late innings and close out games. I like the Rogers pick up, but he's no closer anymore. Festa, Prelipp or any of our other starters who will be turning to relief guys could work out, but I think it'll take some time to settle into that role.
  16. LambchoP
    Adding Festa and Zebby to the pen could really help out our weak relief corps. I'd still give him another few months to see if he can make it as a starter. Twins need to decide between Zebby, Bradley and Abel on who will start and who gets moved to relief. Should be an interesting spring training to see what they do with the pitching staff.
  17. LambchoP
    I'd rather see Martin in LF over Roden, Outman or Larnach. If he can keep his OBP high enough like last year and be a base stealer at the top of the lineup while playing solid OF defense, give him a shot. He's earned it.
  18. LambchoP
    Jackson doesn't fit on the roster without a minor league option. They'll probably try to trade him for cash in spring training. Twins need a viable backup mlb catcher that they can stash in St Paul as injury replacement, or depth for when we inevitably trade Jeffers at the deadline.
  19. LambchoP
    We still need some stability in the pen. Rogers was a decent start. Wouldn't mind trading for one arm, especially if the trade gets rid of a logjam of DH type outfielders. Then signing someone like Kopech could be good. I'd say Festa to the pen along with Rogers, a trade acquisition and one free agent could make us competitive (in our division).
  20. LambchoP
    Seems like an excuse to try and justify this incredibly weak lineup ...
  21. LambchoP
    Good move, especially for only 2 million. Now go out and get Dominguez. I still think Larnach could bring back a decent reliever too.
  22. LambchoP
    I think Larnach best serves the team by trading him for a young high upside relief pitcher. Then they take the 3.5 million they saved in the deal and sign another reliever. They've done basically nothing to rebuild our pathetic bullpen and until that's dealt with, we aren't competing anytime soon.
  23. LambchoP
    Still waiting for the team to do something, ANYTHING about our bullpen. Every day more and more relievers come off the board. If we seriously go into '26 with a pen of AAA starters turning relievers and waiver wire minor league pickups, we cannot expect to win many games. Our atrocious defense will make all these pitchers worse as well....
  24. LambchoP
    Maybe we can trade Jackson for a young controllable reliever. Maybe package him with one of our LH hitting OF'ers and get a late inning guy. Either way, some trades need to be made in order to rebalance this roster.
  25. LambchoP
    I think they know we'll be out of contention at the deadline and this signing allows us to trade Jeffers a little easier. Any money that is left over NEEDS to go to relievers though. SerAnthony would be a good pickup. They need to do something because the FA relief market is closing up quick. I'd also like to see a few trades. Clean up our roster and get rid of some redundant position players to improve our relief corps, which is the worst part of our team easily.
