  1. I wonder how many fans show up to the Twins home opener on Friday. The average is roughly 30,000 fans for MLB home openers. Over/Under for the Twins is probably around 18,000.
  2. So basically the entire St. Paul Saints roster is either top prospects or AAAA guys. St. Paul should have a fun team this year and they might pull some attendance away from the Twins if the prospects are mashing.
  3. Hopefully this won't be predictive of the Twins offense in games to come. It is nice to see Ryan have a good start, and Buck and Keaschall have good offensive games. The Twins will likely struggle with lefties such as Rogers this season with how lefty loaded our lineup is. Great to see Taylor Rogers back in a Twins uniform.
  4. I don't know what keeps bringing me back every year, but no matter how bad the Twins are, I always come back with a renewed excitement to watch Twins baseball. It might be just plain stupidity, but watching the Twins play baseball never gets old. Go Twins!
  5. Neither Kent nor Lawyerson were on my radar heading into the year, but they both earned their spots. Hopefully one of them can take a step forward and become a mid to high end reliever for the Twins.
  6. Tristan Gray: The Hitter Orlando Arcia: The Veteran Ryan Kriedler: The Glove Kaalen Culpepper: The Prospect If they aren't going to give it to Culpepper, I think Arcia is the choice because of his glove and veteran presence.
  7. I don't think it is ever a good idea to underestimate the Guardians because they always seem to finish above projections, but they definitely seem to have taken a step back this year. I am impressed by the lineup, but it is hard to be optimistic about a team that has a rotation with Allen, Cecconi, and Cantillo in it. The Royals and Tigers are easily the top two teams in the Central right now.
  8. As much as I love to hate on the White Sox, they definitely had a much more productive offseason than the Twins this year. I think they are probably a two years away from being real contenders, but there are definitely some interesting pieces. If nothing else, they should improve on last season. I could definitely see them winning 70-75 games.
  9. I don't know if Zebby lost his spot, so much as Abel might have taken it away from him. Credits to Abel, he has has a great spring. I was in on Zebby heading into Spring, and nothing I've seen has really done anything to change my long-term outlook of him. Granted, Abel has pitched a lot better, and is definitely deserving of the spot over Matthews on Opening Day.
  10. Eddie Rosario, Christian Vazquez, and Willi Castro are all contributing offensively for Puerto Rico versus Italy in the WBC Quarterfinals.
  11. Liam Hendricks has had a decent spring. He's not pitching great right now, but as a righty he has a decent chance of making the Opening Day Roster.
  12. Edouard Julien playing today for Canada versus the U.S. "Edouard Julien, are you gonna rule again?"
  13. If Jenkins gets healthy and stays healthy this season, I could definitely see him being in the ROY discussion. Because he will likely start the season on the IL, and play in AAA after that, I don't see him winning it, but if he goes 15-15 in 115 games and plays good outfield defense could finish top 5. 2026 is an important year in his development. If two of him, Gonzalez, and Rodriguez could work out, that would be a big win.
  14. Over the last couple of seasons, Bailey Ober has had significantly to many starts where he only went 4-5 innings because he was inefficient. Ober's start versus the Red Sox was very similiar to that. He went 2 2/3 with just one run, but he allowed 7 baserunner and threw 53 pitches. I would love to see Ober get back some of his old 2024 form, but at this point I don't think it is likely. He will probably get a pretty long leash this season, but if he keeps struggling, he might get forced out of the rotation after this season. At this point, his ceiling seems pretty low. I also have very little concern for Joe Ryan. Some of the stuff problems in his first start could be tied to still recovering from a back injury, and he still managed to be effective even if the underlying numbers didn't back it up,
  15. Italy up 9-1 in 8th. U.S. will advance past pool play.
  16. P-C-A with his second blast of the game; 8-6 Italy
  17. Big Enrique Jiminez fan. I think he has the upside to move into some top 100 prospect lists this season. With Tait, Jiminez, and Diaw, the Twins have a lot of upside on the way at Catcher.
  18. If the U.S. loses and Mexico beats Italy, there's a chance the U.S. doesn't even advance with the three way tie.
