  1. Indeed written by Eric Clapton and Bonnie Bramlett
  2. I don’t understand. We won’t have both in 2025 why? Castro will be in his 3rd season of arbitration, Martin is in his rookie season.
  3. I can’t imagine the Twins would trade him. His only value is utility and team control which is what the Twins prize most.
  4. Especially since Thielbar is obviously hurt. Why DFA Castillo when Thielbar needs to be on the IL?
  5. Right now the best hitting OF on the 40 in StP is Austin Martin. The Twins need to do something
  6. funny stuff blue prints in the fashion industry are called a “tech pack”
  7. His hard hit rate is down, as is his pull rate, while his oppo rate is up. His fly ball rate is up, and he’s swinging at fewer pitches in the zone, while swinging at more pitches out of the zone. Usually when hitters are swing for the fences too much, they try to pull too many pitches and roll over the top. He’s going oppo more and getting more loft. he might benefit from trying to hit homers more
  8. Agreed, while I think Farmer should be the one to go, and believe there to be a strong chance, I hear Larnach has been DHing almost exclusively because he’s fighting a foot injury, certainly likely/possible he gets the Il stint to recover from it, or one of Larnach/Kirilloff getting demoted
  9. While I agree with the DFA Farmer contingent (I was in the DFA Margot group, but he has improved lately), why is Santana a lock? being a good defensive first baseman clearly has some value, but he’s a terrible hitter and has been for several years. First baseman need to hit, and Miranda hits decent/well and plays passable first. The whole reason Santana was signed is because the FO didn’t trust Miranda and Kirilloff. Fair enough, Kirilloff hasn’t earned the trust, but Miranda’s OPS would be average at first base (compared to Santana’s bottom of the league) i think there’s an outside chance Santana gets DFA’d at some point.
  10. 1) The Twins have said from the beginning he was going to have a long rehab assignment so they could better manage his return. 2) you clearly have never been to CHS Field in St Paul.
  11. When bringing up 3 players, one must take 3 players off the roster. Assuming Julien, that’s two
  12. Farmer has the lowest hard hit rate and the highest ground ball rate on the team. That is not a recipe for BABIP progression to the mean
  13. Who goes? DFA Margot is an easy one. Option Kirilloff? DFA Santana? They could DFA Farmer, but then SS gets rather thin if Correa gets injured. Castro is bad there, Lewis and Lee have both been injured and probably can’t jump into the deep end with both feet. that’s where I get a bit nervous DFAing the vets. The young guys have been hurt and inconsistent. Better inconsistent than consistently bad…. But the injuries
  14. As of May 27, at 80 plate appearances Santana’s .643 OPS ranks 28th in MLB First Basemen.
