    That was actually true about Margot before he lost a step due to injury. 25-27 year old Manny Margot was a very similar player to Kepler.

    David Robertson has yet to sign. Maybe he comes in at the last minute. The fun move would be to add Prielipp - he's been unhittable this spring.

    If Gasper can pinch-hit for Vazquez and finish the game behind the plate he might have a role on the team.

    I expect Castro will spend most of his time in the infield with Miranda and Julien rotating at DH. That probably means they want another outfielder for the roster. I'm not sure what Keirsey, Martin or Gasper do that's better than any starter so I don't see how they get much playing time. Bader is going to get platoon at-bats and innings as a defensive replacement. The others don't really have a role.

    Yesterday was clearly a tryout for Blewett and Castellano. It didn't look good for Castellano when he spiked the first pitch into the ground.

    Misiewicz is the other arm they're considering for the last spot in the bullpen.

    I am not big on absolutes. I wouldn't it is impossible to jump from Double-A to the majors because other pitchers have done it before. It's unlikely, but clearly the Twins saw something they liked in Castellano that they didn't see in Henriquez or Headrick. It's important for the front office to take risks if they're not going to compete on payroll alone.

    Actually you said there was "no chance" he would make the roster. I think the Twins gave him every chance to make the roster. We've already seen two bullpen decisions they might regret - cutting Ronny Henriquez and Brent Headrick to keep Eiberson Castellano and Matt Canterino. Henriquez and Headrick both appear to have made an MLB roster and the Twins won't get a single inning out of Castellano and Canterino.

    He's not recovered enough to throw with max effort.

    https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-payton-eeles-out-after-knee-surgery/ That's why he didn't get an invite to spring training.
  13. DJL44
    Eeles is out with knee surgery. Free agency is pretty picked over but Joey Wendle is still looking for a job. Lots of players are about to either go on waivers or activate their minor league contract opt-out.
  14. DJL44
    I don't expect him to be a regular, just like I don't expect that out of Keirsey. I am hopeful they can come up from the minors and fill-in adequately until the regulars are healthy again.
  15. DJL44
    If they have to shelter him for the whole season, then he's probably not worth keeping. He should improve as the year goes on.

    Due to injuries the alternative to Castellano making the roster is Scott Blewett making the roster. I don't think that is much better.

    Garrett Whitlock with the 2021 Red Sox.

    Confirmation bias. Steroids helped a lot of players recover faster from injury. Should we bring back steroids and HGH?
  21. DJL44
    Position players threw 7 innings last year and Dobnak threw 9.2. Cole Irvin had 3.2 innings and Jay Jackson pitched 26.1. There are definitely low-leverage innings to eat.
  22. DJL44
    It feels like the Dodgers have this thing wrapped up in March.
  23. DJL44
    26 is not young for a baseball player. He's right in the middle of his career. Manny Margot is 30 and his career is almost over.
  24. DJL44
    Plus, the longer you delay the decision, the more likely it doesn't need to be made. Castellano could get better, which means you don't want to return him. He could get a minor injury, which means you can max out his injury rehab and give him some time in the minors. He could have a major injury, which delays the decision another year.

    This is part of the reason MLB increased the size of the base.
