    Even if true, expecting him to start in AAA is insanity and wrong
  2. DarrenPS
    He doesn't have any options remaining, he's either on the opening day roster, cut, or traded. I think you have to ride it out and see how it goes. He should get 2 more starts before the season, we can pray for a 2 MPH increase
  3. DarrenPS
    I am bias, but I believe they'll be top 5 by the end of the season again. They have 15+ guys who could be top 100. Depends on who graduates but the farm is looking great

    Miguelangel Boadas pitched in 4 AFL games as well as started the final, FYI. His numbers haven’t been great in previous seasons but honestly he seemed dominant in the AFL, think that put him back on the prospect radar

    I am stoked for Ellwanger, I have him at 18 personally and that's crazy to do for someone who hasn't pitched in the minors yet. I personally would raise Diaw higher to around 15, he has shown so much potential and just had a fluke injury. Culpepper shouldn't be top 20 until he proves he can pitch more innings... best ability is availabilty I dropped DeBarge in my list but still am a huge fan, he did so much damage at the start and didn't a homerun for 2 months at one point, next season will shows what he can and can't do but at the moment in my eyes isn't top 20 Mendez for me is 13 which is probably higher than most, really hoping that hand injury the other day was nothing. Bat to ball skills like Gabby Gonzalez and still young. Could he develop into a cross of Larnach & Wallner? Better contact than Wallner, more consistent power than Larnach? I'm bullish Quick edit, I understand his AFL performance was as bad as it gets, but if you compare DeBarge and Amick stats I think it is near impossible to currently have DeBarge over him...

    Let me be extremely clear, Jeffers should be extended. But ~if~ the plan is 100% we cannot afford to extend him, he should be traded tomorrow, not at the deadline
  7. DarrenPS
    I really think it's as simple as "if the arms step up (like I think they will), we have great depth to handle this. If they don't, well then the team is worse than most people already think they are". I personally am bullish on the young arm talent. Taj, Zebby & Abel all will be MLB regulars soon enough!

    It was already said multiple times but there's no chance they keep 4 lefties to start the season. Kody imo starts in St Paul. I also would expect more of a closer by committee than expecting Rodgers to get handed the ball every time. Sands & him should split while riding the hot hand I am once against asking for a Michael Kopech signing
  9. DarrenPS
    I understand why people want to move Prielipp to the bullpen, they just want some kind of value in general, but can I remind you of an early career often injured lefty named Garrett Crochet? Sometimes sticking with them really works out. Keep him a starter as long as possible imo That being said, I would also support moving him to the pen this season and still giving him a future starter opportunity, which is also what Crochet did
  10. DarrenPS
    I mean none of them are ideal for a bench spot, I don't even know how Kreidler is still on the 40 man, but due to his underlying metrics I would rather Gray get the first shot over the other current options as the bench guy
  11. DarrenPS
    It's a fun list of young players which makes it all the more frustrating that there is such a long log jam of LH OF on the 40 man right now. Erod & Gabby Gonzalez are already on the 40 man but clearly are a fun part of the pipeline. FYI Ariel Castro was released on July 29th of last year, a bad International Signee unfortunately as he never made it out of the FCL
  12. DarrenPS
    Pretty sure Cory Lewis shoulder issue was 2024, not 2025. Regardless, hope it doesn't turn into something more serious. The walks last year are downright unbelievable but doesn't mean he should be given up on quite yet!
  13. DarrenPS
    Yes SWR is a lock as the 4th starter if no one gets traded between now and March. I would like to see Taj at 5, Festa moved to the pen and everyone else stored at AAA. I know people will get upset with wasting Zebby's arm at AAA but he will be next man up when someone inevitably goes down. He deserves 1 more year long chance as a starter as well I will say 5 will go to whoever performs best out of Zebby and Taj in spring training, though, after Taj returns from the WBC
  14. DarrenPS
    Calling him "elite" feels a little aggressive but it's a good pickup that immediately makes us better. Go grab Michael Kopech and you have a solid bullpen
  15. DarrenPS
    They used to. He isn't eligible on a lot of lists any more due to service time. I believe he got as high as 40's in previous seasons
  16. DarrenPS
    I am extremely hyped for KC and believe he will be a Twin for a long time. If he figures out the groundballs, the sky is the limit. Figuring out the chasing off speed would just be an added bonus. Not sure where he plays but he should be in the lineup 2027 (if there's a season) daily That being said, I know a lot of people are going to hate this but Brooks Lee is my comeback player of the year prediction for the Twins. I hope his bat takes off to what it was always projected to be, and I think while he is slow he is more serviceable at SS than he is given credit for. It comes natural to him even if the speed & agility does not
  17. DarrenPS
    I understand why people feel that way, but we already know we never would have paid him and he only had 2 years of team control left. Mason Miller for example had a larger return due to having 4 years of team control left His is still arguably a top 5 closer but his velocity has slowly fallen, so due to these two factors I think getting 2 top 100 prospects is a fair return. Although if Tait shows up in A+ this next year and can't hit the ball I will start to agree with you Long way of saying I think the return was fair but not mind blowing like De Vries for Miller was
  18. DarrenPS
    They signed him to a 2 year MiLB deal, so he'll have a few more chances even though he is missing spring again
  19. DarrenPS
    I'm a big Mick Abel believer, this kid deserves another shot in the majors and it will come this year (even if he most likely won't be with the Twins to start the season). The stuff is there, I hope he uses the most out of his next opportunity to force the Twins hands as he could be a legit #2 with #1 (not quite ace) upside The Duran trade hurt, and I am not yet sold on Tait, but this kid could make it look way better way sooner The type you could see starting a future playoff game
  20. DarrenPS
    Here's the problem, if we didn't blow up the pen more people would be saying the offseason was fine/decent for the Twins. It is hard to give anything higher than a D when you barely added to what is now one of your weakest points. I like Bell, I like Caratini, I don't hate some of the fringe players they brought in because they have better underlying metrics than their stats, but you needed to bolster the bullpen with more than you did, and you needed to trade a LH OF. It's just an incomplete roster. Not to mention I would have loved a Jeffers extension. Honestly just extending anyway would have helped morale
  21. DarrenPS
    Move Festa to the pen, give Zebby another chance as a starter pls
  22. DarrenPS
    I'd love to seem them give Roden a chance. Larnach should still be traded before the season starts which opens that avenue. If you don't trade him, Roden should play over Outman we all know it To those comparing him to DaShawn Keirsey, my response would be Roden has been better at every minor league level. Keirsey would have him on speed and fielding and that's it Make the outfield Buxton, Wallner, Martin, Roden and you're already more athletic which is what they've been preaching, then you got Gabby, ERod & Jenkins ready to come up when injuries occur

    Nolan McLean didnt get called up until he was 24 as a top prospect, Hunter Barco until he was 25, every prospect is different and giving up on him at 23 is a flaw of Twins fans It should have nothing to do with "off years" in your eyes, 23 is still young for baseball prospect status
  25. DarrenPS
    Did I mention any of them in my post? No, I talked about the 23 year olds only. I am a strong supporter of Festa to the pen. Zebby I want to get another shot as a starter, the stuff isn't matching results so give him one last chance. Prielipp I am 50/50 on but if you can keep him a start (because he keeps adding new pitches, rumor is he's adding a 5th), and if you are confident about the elbow, I would try to keep him starting as long as possible. If he ends up a reliever to stay healthy like Festa I understand
