    Technically still a Twin, but Dan Altavilla is taking the mound for Italy in the WBC in the 5th with Italy up 5-0 verus the U.S.A.
  2. Permanent Twins Fan
    This isn't exactly spring games, but I don't see a WBC thread anywhere, and the U.S.A. is currently down 5-0 in the 4th to Italy. They need Joe Ryan's peformance today over there, not with the Twins.

    Yeah, that's my mistake. I just glanced over the 2019 starting rotation and saw Perez, Gibson, and Pineda in it, and assumed that it was a bad pitching year.

    I think he likely would be playing his way onto the roster if it wasn't that the one guy he's mainly competing against (Alen Roden) is having an even better spring than Outman is. It is nice to see both of them having good springs. I still don't understand why Trevor Larnach is still on the team. At this point I might take both Roden and Outman straight up over him (defensively at least) and Larnach is getting paid a lot more than either one of them.

    I left when it was 8-0 and I obviously missed out on an offensive outburst (eventually). Nice to see Morris have some good inning from the pen. The Twins looked like the 2019 bomba squad (all homers, no pitching) out there. Great to see Royce knock one out. I am really excited to see if Gabriel Gonzalez would be able to contribute at the major league level. As someone who really only started following him last season, all I have seen him do is mash at every level he's been at. I think he will likely be up before the all-star break, and hopefully will take the opportunity and run with it.

    Remember when Zebby first got called up, and he would never throw anything out of the zone, and now he can't throw anything in the zone.

    Braves announcer's commentary 1. Olson is the 9th batter to come up since the second out was recorded 2. 52 pitches for the Twins pitchers in this inning
  8. Permanent Twins Fan
    As a Zebby optimist heading into the year, I am still cautiously excited about his future, but the case for Abel over Matthews for the fifth rotation spot on opening day is growing stronger and stronger by the day.
  9. Permanent Twins Fan
    I am still really curious to see what the Twins end up doing with Alex Jackson. I don't think they will carry three catchers on the roster, but without options I don't know what the plan is here. He's not hitting well this spring, so I guess the most likely outcome is he is DFAd.
  10. Permanent Twins Fan
    Austin Hays might not be a flashy player, but I would be more than happy if Gonzalez had a Hays type outcome.
  11. Permanent Twins Fan
    Taj Bradley must have read this comment. He's dealing versus the Yankees.
  12. Permanent Twins Fan
    Probably two lefty relievers and Mickey Gaspar

    What can go wrong does
  14. Permanent Twins Fan
    I give them a B- because I doubt Falvey/Zoll were given the financial freedom to spend much money. Despite that, they still managed to build a almost league average bullpen, and brought in a few fringe bats.
  15. Permanent Twins Fan
    Another reminder that there is never too much pitching.
  16. Permanent Twins Fan
    I agree. I think it is a year too early to move Buxton to the corners.
  17. Permanent Twins Fan
    Probably Opening Day
  18. Permanent Twins Fan
    Paredes' bat would be a welcome addition to the twins lineup, and the Twins do seem to match up well with the Astros for a potential trade. One problem that comes up is that much of Paredes power comes from the fact that he is a heavy pull air rate guy who takes advantage of the short porch in Houston. Target field is over 20 feet deeper in left, which would probably take away a lot of Paredes home run potential. Every single one of Paredes' 20 homeruns in 2025 were hit to left field.
  19. Permanent Twins Fan
    I think it was a great return for a reliever that had only really been good for a few months. It just didn't seem that there was any reason to trade him, especially with the many years of club control he had left.
  20. Permanent Twins Fan
    Louie Varland? Oh wait, never mind.
  21. Permanent Twins Fan
    It seems that more money has been spent on the Saints this offseason than the Twins.

    "I do not know what 'strategic flexibility' means anymore, but I can type it very fast." That's a phenomonal line. This might be the best non-Randballs Stu satire article I've read.
  23. Permanent Twins Fan
    So basically the entire group that was running the team in 2022-23 is gone. In 2022 we had J. Pohlad-Levine-Falvey-Baldelli-Correa. Now, since they are all gone, we have T. Pohlad-Zoll- Shelton-Buxton. And yet even with all that change, I am not convinced at all that anything is going to change for the Twins.
  24. Permanent Twins Fan
    Sounds like a lot of fun, but there are a lot of young pitchers coming up so there are probably better ways to spend at least 15-20 million a year. 20 million dollars invested into the bullpen could go a long ways toward getting a competitive bullpen. Now, of course, if the Twins did sign Framber Valdez, you will not hear a negative comment from me.
  25. Permanent Twins Fan
    The Twins needed to do this. For a bit I was worried that they were just going to leave the bullpen without any additions. I still think they need to bring in another reliever, preferrably a righty to further bolster the bullpen. Evan Phillips and Seranthony Dominguez are names I would target. As it stands right now, my choice for bullpen would be Funderburk, Sands, Orze, Topa, Rogers, Adams, Festa, and Klein.
