    It's reasonable to expect an uptick in command and consistency from his rookie campaign. Prielipp's body and arm were also pushed well beyond anything he had experienced before both in total innings and innings per start. He will be better prepared for the load next year. I think 170+ innings and an era in the low to mid 3's is a real possibility next year.

    Ober can go. He is declining steadily. His loss of velocity has more than offset the advantage a 7 foot extension gives him. I'm on the fence with Kremer. I don't want a 31 year old back of the rotation starter interfering with guys like Prielipp, Matthews, Able and Rojas taking their next steps. At the same time, history has shown the Twins need rotation depth that runs about 7 pitchers.

    I don't see any rational argument for Abel and Kremer in the rotation ahead of Prielipp and Matthews. Able has hardly pitched and Kremer at 31 really isn't worth keeping.

    He needs to get through spring training with the job first (assuming there is one). The best laid season end projections have a knack for unraveling the following spring.
  19. TJSweens
    Even Twinsdaily writers have stopped trying to move Prielipp to the bullpen.

    Jefferson has a 3+ war, yet the Twins have a winning record in the games he was on the shelf. WAR is just an amazingly overrated number.
  25. TJSweens
    On a 1 year contract that can be moved at deadline? It's an overpay, but not an absurd one and I doubt he accepts it. Boras will convince him there is more money to be made on a multi year deal now. 1 year $23.6M vs 3 years at about $39M or 4 years at about $52M.

    I see a qualifying offer as the absolute highest probability. He won't accept it and the Twins will collect a top 50 draft choice. Even if he accepts, the Twins have him as a mainstay of the lineup for the season. If they contend, he helps them win. If they don't contend, they'll trade him at the deadline.
  28. TJSweens
    Can't sum it up any better. When is the last time the Twins could write in a name at SS and forget about it? If the worst case scenario comes to pass with Houston, I would be happy with them continuing to write Culpepper in at SS.
  29. TJSweens
    A couple of points 1. Culpepper has looked like belongs from day 1. There has never been a moment where he has looked over his head. The move up to the second spot in the order was well earned. That was a quality AB when he delivered the insurance run. 2. Keaschall is figuring it out in the OF. He is still adjusting to some nuances like playing carroms, but his athleticism is really playing well in the OF. He made some very nice plays in right last night.
  30. TJSweens
    Agreed. If they give him proper rest between starts, there is no reason Prielipp can't finish the season. He should be unlimited by next season.

    Wow. I said he better at 3B than SS, but would probably be a better fit at 2B. What negativity.
  33. TJSweens
    Lee's play at 3B is good relative to his play at SS. I wouldn't call his play great at 3B great. I think he is a more natural 2B with his combined range, arm and IQ. If Houston ultimately claims SS, I like Culpepper with his reflexes and cannon arm at 3B.
  34. TJSweens
    He will probably have to cover half the ground playing a corner as he covers in CF. It also means less sustained acceleration. That's a huge saving on his legs over the course of a season. At 33, he will be more susceptible to and take longer to recover from the soft tissue injuries like the persistent labrum ones he is currently dealing with. There are no guarantees regarding, but reducing wear and tear on his body improves his odds of staying on the field.
  35. TJSweens
    Buxton needs to move out of CF right now. Full stop. It's not a matter of whether he can still field the position better than Jenkins. The Twins need to preserve his body, especially his legs. Buxton will need to cover half the ground in a corner spot. Leave Jenkins in CF. He is at least adequate there. Beyond that, Jenkins just needs to show he can run, field and hit.
