    Ryan and Lopez are pitching like All-Stars.

    Twins Hitters OPS+ (min 50 plate appearances) Wallner 138 Lee 119 France 110 Jeffers 108 Buxton 108 Bader 104

    Bride is doing what we hoped Miranda would do this year.
  4. DJL44
    He's averaged 10 steals a year throughout his career. He has 3 more years on the contract. He's having a career year for SB this season. I'd say it's equally likely as not (even odds) that he catches Hunter.
  5. DJL44
    It's a 68 win pace with almost 20% of the season in the books. I hope they don't wait until the deadline to make some moves. I think Rocco needs 12 wins in May to keep his job. The only thing interesting on the farm in the near-term is starting pitching (Festa, Matthews, Morris). I doubt they move enough starters to get all 3 of them into the MLB rotation.
  6. DJL44
    Worth noting that Rickey had 300 steals by age 23. We will never see another like him.
  7. DJL44
    I didn't realize Stewart was so bad at holding runners. He doesn't have a slide-step. Those steals aren't on Jeffers, they're on the pitcher.

    Twins Stolen Base Leaders Chuck Knoblauch: 276 Rod Carew: 271 Cesar Tovar: 186 Kirby Puckett: 134 Torii Hunter: 126 Dan Gladden: 116 Cristian Guzman: 102 Byron Buxton 100 Matt Lawton: 96 Larry Hisle: 92 Nick Punto: 89 Buxton could catch Puckett on the list but Tovar is unlikely.
  9. DJL44
    "he joined Torii Hunter and Kirby Puckett as the only Twins to have 100 stolen bases" Not quite. Carew has over 200 steals. I think it's the 100 HR / 100 SB club.
  10. DJL44
    Julien is seeing 4.2 pitches per plate appearance. League average is 3.9 p/PA
  11. DJL44
    Bride can be an emergency catcher. They don't need two emergency catchers.
  12. DJL44
    The Twins need to pump-and-dump Paddack. Better to pull him early than let him blow up in the 6th inning and destroy any potential trade value.
  13. DJL44
    Paddack may not have been giving up runs, but the outs were pretty loud. He only had 2 strikeouts. Rocco made the right move.
  14. DJL44
    Over the last 5 games he's 2 for 16 with 6 walks. That's an OBP of .363. Among qualified batters, Spencer Torkleson ranks 15th with a .362 OBP. What are your expectations for a leadoff hitter? Is a top 15 OBP not good enough?
  15. DJL44
    Jackson Holliday looks pretty good. He went 1-1. Maybe you just meant from players the Twins could have drafted. They got a haul in the 2022 draft - Connor Prielipp, Zebby Matthews, Andrew Morris, Cory Lewis and CJ Culpepper.
  16. DJL44
    Castro's gone long-term. Miranda is out of options after this year so he'll be a backup or gone. I like a bench of Bride, Castro and Julien.
  17. DJL44
    Read the comments on page 1.
  18. DJL44
    On the radio broadcast they mentioned that Bride was eager to have MN help tweak his swing. It seems to have paid off..
  19. DJL44
    Check the Twins/MLB app Keaschall out 2 months (60 Day IL if they need a spot). Wallner out at least 3 more weeks. Castro about a week. Lewis back for the Orioles series.
  20. DJL44
    Watching a sports draft is like watching someone do their taxes.
  21. DJL44
    What makes those guys "our own" players instead of Bride and Clemens? They were only signed a few months ago. They're on the roster because the Saints need players at every position in order to play baseball games. No organization has 100 prospects to fill all the levels of the minor leagues.
  22. DJL44
    Not when they have Gasper. They could have brought up McCusker for a week. However, if they had done that, they would be one injury away from needing Clemens.
  23. DJL44
    Ty France is a bench player. I'm not sure if there would be any dropoff at all if Bride had to play 1B for a couple weeks. Last season Bride was notably better than France.
  24. DJL44
    So you're telling the front office how to do their job when you don't even know if McCusker can field grounders. Got it.
  25. DJL44
    Bride or Gasper
