    They have until May 21 to make a decision.

    Good time to reward him with a long-term contract extension.
  3. DJL44
    Tonkin should not be having this much trouble with AAA hitters.
  4. DJL44
    Nice to see a Topa sighting. He's pitched really well for someone who seems to be completely buried on the depth chart.
  5. DJL44
    Paddack is the pitcher to trade this season. If the Orioles are the trade partner, I'd be okay with Paddack for Mountcastle. Mountcastle has had a bad season so far, but I don't think there is any reason to doubt his career numbers. He has an extra year of team control and Paddack is a free agent.

    People who believe AI is "the truth" will wipe out humanity.
  7. DJL44
    An insatiable need for clicks to sell advertising.
  8. DJL44
    The Twins are awful at signing international free agent pitchers. They haven't had good IFA signings since Bill Smith signed Sano, Kepler and Polanco.
  9. DJL44
    If Martin can't run, he's useless and should stay on the IL until he can run.
  10. DJL44
    I think they're planning for a July roster that no longer has Bader, Castro or France.
  11. DJL44
    If he's off the IL, then all the restrictions have to be off. There is no point to having an injured player on the AAA roster. He can take BP, rehab and even play in simulated games in Fort Myers until he's ready to actually play in a game. If he can't sprint, he stays on the IL. It's not like he's gutting it out to try to help the big-league team (like Buxton did). Why would they risk re-injury to have Martin play games that don't matter for the Saints? I sure as hell hope the restrictions are off for Royce Lewis. He has trouble staying healthy when he's actually healthy. Do you want the Twins to risk a career-ending injury because they insisted he plays hurt?

    The whole idea behind replacement players is they're pretty easy to obtain. Having a lot of bad players isn't helpful. If you need one in a pinch you pay another team cash to obtain one.
  13. DJL44
    I think Vazquez found it in a store in Fort Myers and thought it looked stupid enough for a HR celebration.
  14. DJL44
    No. If players aren't healthy enough to play baseball without getting immediately reinjured playing baseball, then they should have never come off the IL in the first place. You can't have someone come off the IL and say - "He's fine, except for running. Don't make him run".
  15. DJL44
    I think his window closed when Lewis and Castro returned. Lewis is going to take the DH spot and Castro is going to play more in the outfield. If he's patient and healthy, the window will open again.
  16. DJL44
    If he wasn't healthy enough to play baseball (including running the bases) then he shouldn't have been taken off the IL.
  17. DJL44
    I am rooting for him to get to play in the All-Star Game in Atlanta.
  18. DJL44
    Willi Castro is a much better baseball player than Dashawn Keirsey. Castro went 1 for 3 with a walk which means Castro reached base as many times last night as Keirsey has the entire season. Starting Castro was the better decision before the game started and proven correct with game results. That's the priority for the Saints, not for the Twins. Priority for the Twins is winning baseball games.
  19. DJL44
    They needed a bat more than they needed an infielder. They were starting Mickey Gasper at DH regularly and Clemens got a start in the outfield. If your analysis is correct, then there isn't any room for Wallner when he returns. He'll have to wait in AAA until an injury opens up a spot in the outfield.
  20. DJL44
    It's a symptom of trying to be an 85 win team every year. That means your draft position is not that great and you never deal vets for prospects at the deadline.
  21. DJL44
    Those guys are waiver wire talent. They can be replaced at any time with someone else off the waiver wire.
  22. DJL44
    I don't think that's McCusker in the photo. If I'm the GM, I'm showcasing veterans until they get traded. McCusker can come up once I start dealing some of them off. I'm throwing in the towel on 2025.
  23. DJL44
    I would pinch hit for Keirsey with Vazquez.
  24. DJL44
    Wallner was really good before he was injured. I don't understand how a guy with a 137 OPS+ gets lumped in with Christian Vazquez. Max Kepler isn't hitting as well as Wallner.
  25. DJL44
    He hasn't done anything in the at-bats he has been given to show he deserves more. The Twins don't exist to make DaShawn Keirsey happy.
