    Kreidler and Larnach? The experts and fans freaked during the off season when the Twins tendered Larnach. Looks like the Twins management was right on that tender.

    Trading Jeffers just makes sense. Caratini is signed for next season and Jackson, who is out of options, has proven a capable backup. (so much for Twins not making any moves last winter, Jackson, Caratini and Bell have all been very good adds and they did not have to sell the farm to get them) If the Twins do draft the catcher from Georgia it would also make Jeffers much more expendable. Why sign free agents this coming off season when next season is in doubt? Remember by 2028 players will be 2 years older, what will that lay off do to their skills? Most of the Twins top prospects are knocking on the door at St Paul and they will also be getting older in 2 seasons. The Twins should trade Jeffers, Larnach, Bell and Kreidler to try and bring back some bullpen help. This would open the door for the prospects to come up for the rest of the season and show if they can cut it.

    Where does Twins Daily fiend its writers? Romper Room? Caratini is hitting about .280 and is a capable backup. He is not a HOFer, but he is hitting and a capable backup. Larnach is hitting.about .350 and receives hate. Meanwhile another writer posts how Wallner has turned the corner and is a budding second coming. Wallner is hitting .143, with 14 SO in 28 at bats.. Sure he has 2 HR's but he also has 2 RBI. Just like last year he had 22 HRs with 40 RBI. Just proves that the guy is a choke in clutch at bats. Put runners on base and Wallner will most likely strike out.

    I just don't understand the love affair fans with this guy. compare him to Miguel Sano. Sano had better career numbers and the fans booed him to death. Wallner has played right field his entire career. Sano played a different position almost every year. Larnach's numbers are not great, but better than Wallner's.

    He's got options, send him to St Paul to figure things out. It worked for Torii Hunter and others in the past.

    Funderburk came up two years ago and was impressive. He then went through a stretch where he was hit around pretty good and was sent up and down a couple of times. The second half of last season he seemed to have figured things out and became an effective reliever. Hopefully that trend continues..

    Why is it depressing? A Twins pitching pipeline prospect becoming an effective MLB reliever is depressing? WOW! He stepped up after the bullpen shake up at the end of last season. I say more power to him
  22. Rufus
    How is the Blue Jays contract with Berrios working out? They moved him to the bull pen last season and signed 2 starters over the winter. Ryan still needs to put a complete season together to prove his worth if he wants the big bucks

    Nuts!

    Poppycock

    The bottom line is they are not going to be able to replace a pitcher like Lopez. Last summer they traded key bullpen arms for supposedly future starters and the farm system has several highly hyped rising prospects. Several of these guys are in their mid 20's they are not kids anymore. Are they major leagues pitchers or wash outs. While we can't expect any of these guys to be Lopez now is the time to find out what these trades yielded. If the Twins have to trade or sign another starter it is pretty much admitting the trades last summer were failures and their farm system arms are overrated.

    The Twins are supposedly so deep in starting pitching prospects. Some of these guys are in their mid 20's. It is time for at least one of them to step up.

    Twins need a SS

    This team could trade a bag of used balls for the entire Dodger team and someone would find fault with the deal.
