    I would rather they kept Susac from the A's. Young guy who can hit. Would probably have been a better backup than Jackson, and if he really did well, could have taken over the starters role from Jeffers after this year... We'll see how he does this year.
  2. LambchoP
    Maybe we'll get lucky and Fedko's AAA breakout was for real. What if he has such a huge spring training that they are forced to give him a platoon role at first with Clemens, eventually taking over full-time. Imagine if he put up similar numbers in the bigs to what he did in St Paul last year? Finally finding a RH 1b who can hit 30 HR and steal 30 bases......A guy can dream can't he? More likely we sign an aging, defensively limited has been for cheap and he's released at the deadline.....

    I don't get why they would do a major teardown at the 25 deadline, only to change their minds in the off-season and say no more rebuild, we're going to compete. Not a smart baseball move. I think ownership just realized that if they traded any more vets, Buxton would've jumped ship, signaling that this team was dead, and they'd sell no tickets in '26, only adding to the massive debt the Pohlads are already in.
  4. LambchoP
    Without some external additions our pen will be a real mess. Might as well throw all these young guys out there and let them compete for innings and see who's left standing. Going into the season with Sands or Topa as our closer is laughable.
  5. LambchoP
    What would it take to get Coby Mayo? He's young with years of control. Would it be too big of a gamble though? The kids hit well and hit for power in every stop of the minor leagues but hasn't shown anything in the majors. We don't need another Gasper.....
  6. LambchoP
    Maybe we get lucky and find a legit bullpen arm?
  7. LambchoP
    Please no. Sano is the opposite of what the team at least says it's trying to do. Go younger, faster, more athletic defensive minded players. Sano is a big slow, strikeout prone guy who would be a horrible first baseman. There has got to be better options out there on the trade market or even waiver wire....I do NOT believe Clemens is the answer either. I don't think the Twins are trying to compete this year, but if they did, they would have to sign a starting caliber first baseman. Ryan O'hearn wouldn't be a bad move. Maybe get Goldschmidt on a cheap one year deal....

    Twins coaches will need to learn how to teach young players with success in the minors how to translate that success into big league success. We haven't been able to do this for years, aside from a few select exceptions.
  9. LambchoP
    Twins need first base depth, I'd take a chance on Blaze or the Yankees guy. Gasper, Kreidler, Mccusker, Julien....any of these guys are easy DFA candidates to open up a couple roster spots. We're going to need a couple openings at least for our bullpen.
  10. LambchoP
    Julien, Outman and Gasper should not be anywhere near our 26 or 40 man roster. All three would probably pass through waivers. Larnach has a decent bat, I would think we should be able to get a little something of value for him in a trade, preferably a relief pitcher...
  11. LambchoP
    Don't like it. Backup catcher with a career .150 BA and a 37 percent K rate? And we're going to pay him 1.8 million?! I'd rather they let Perada take a chance. Plus we had to give up Eeles who could have been a valuable backup or utility guy. With our lack of depth at SS we probably shouldn't have gotten rid of Eeles. Not a good trade imo....
  12. LambchoP
    They need to sign a legit first baseman and have Clemens be the backup. I doubt they will do in that case if we're stuck with Clemens at first, I guess the best we can hope for is that the RH Fedko rakes in Spring training and wins the backup/platoon gig and eventually takes over full-time.
  13. LambchoP
    Good start, keep the moves coming please!
  14. LambchoP
    With only one more year of control than Jeffers, I don't see how this helps us. Tait and Jiminez are years away. If we are aquiring a catcher it needs to be someone with years of control who can legitimately hold down the starting catcher role until these kids are ready...
  15. LambchoP
    I doubt they traded away half the team last year just to come back and spend big and go for it this year. My guess is, they trim some fat and salary off the roster and give a lot of our prospects their debuts. Ownership will use this year to see where we're at with our young guys and decide what to do next year.
  16. LambchoP
    When almost all of our pitchers end up with more walks than strikeouts, it's hard to be excited about any of them. Winokur has potential but hope he can put it together this year. I'm more intrigued by Mendez. Seems like he could have a good bat, if he can play a decent first base he may have a clear shot at a roster spot. All he has to do is outplay Clemens at this point
  17. LambchoP
    Maybe Fedko has a monster spring and wins the platoon job at first base. Then he just keeps on hitting and hitting for power, eventually becoming an above average everyday first baseman. Very wishful thinking I know lol.... Would make a lot more sense to make a trade for a legit first baseman, but I don't see much happening with this roster, other than maybe more salary dumps :(
  18. LambchoP
    We have Sands and Topa. Possible relief arms could be Festa, Raya, Prelipp and Morris. I wasn't impressed with Ohl or Adams but I'm sure they'll get a shot. I doubt it but it would be nice to try to sign a few of Coloumbe, Theilbar, Taylor and Tyler Rodgers and then a group of minor league signings or reclamation projects. We need to build a pen from scratch which is going to take a lot of skill and a good amount of luck. Lately, the Twins haven't had much of either, but we'll see what happens...
  19. LambchoP
    That is an awful lot of walks from our pitchers...
  20. LambchoP
    If these are our only type of options they might as well just roll with Fedko and Clemens. I'd love to see a trade for some legit first baseman, but I doubt it. Maybe a one year deal for someone like Josh Bell? If nothing else he could be trade bait at the deadline if he does well.... I wouldn't mind seeing if Larnach or Wallner can play first. Polanco is a free agent again, it'd be nice to see him back Manning first base for us;)
  21. LambchoP
    It sure looks like we messed up by releasing Ronny Henriquez. Kid looks like a potential closer for MIA....even with several of our SP prospects converting to the pen such as Raya, Festa, Adams and Ohl, we still need at least three veteran pen arms. I don't have much faith that we'll try to hard to sign anyone of significance, but maybe we can get lucky with one or two guys like we did with Coloumbe this last year.
  22. LambchoP
    I get that we're going into a rebuild and we should get as much value as we can from players like Jeffers who are probably gone in another year or two. That said, our catching depth is crap, and we are also going to be running out a lot of young pitchers who are going to need to develop St the major league level. We need a solid catcher who can handle a young and inexperienced pitching staff. A cheap vet on a one or two year deal would be great if we keep Jeffers. If we trade him, I don't think it will matter much. Jiminez? (The guy catcher we got for Paddack) and Tate are a few years away still, we need someone to get us by until they are ready.
  23. LambchoP
    Pitching sure has been pretty lackluster. I wish some of our more prominent prospects were pitching the afl this year....
  24. LambchoP
    What we need is a first baseman, catcher or maybe an outfielder. Of course pitching is always needed too ...
  25. LambchoP
    Will be interesting to see which of our young pitchers end up in the Twins bullpen in '26. I'd guess Prelipp, Raya, Morris, Ohl and Adams. Festa could be a good relief weapon too.
