  1. This actually suggests he has more downside than upside. If he wasn't chasing and was making consistent contact, then this past season probably was his upside.
  2. It is nearly TwinsFest so the front office should emerge from their annual winter hibernation soon.
  3. Our offseason signings would be Anthony DeSclafani and Enyel De Los Santos.
  4. Scherzer and Verlander are the top names for pitchers now, but Jack Flaherty might be the best bet for production. Pivetta should have taken the QO. Lots of pitchers left before teams start calling about Chris Paddack. Bregman, Santander and Alonso are the last QO position players available.
  5. That has potential to be the best bargain of the offseason. If he has a good season, Detroit still has the option of offering a qualifying offer.
  6. There's a good video interview of his parents in the stands watching him play. He's named after his dad, who was named after Mickey Mantle. They followed him all over the east coast last summer hoping to see their son get his first MLB hit but it never happened.
  7. So the solution to the below-replacement level bottom of our depth chart is to not try to make it better? There is room on this roster for two more offensive starters. They need an infielder and an outfielder. If they're going to cycle through rookies anyway then they need to sell veterans and go for a real rebuild.
  8. They're going to need to hit a ton because this defense looks bad.
  9. If the Twins had Santana under contract for $12M they would be looking to dump him.
  10. The Red Sox are positively loaded with expensive, injured pitchers. $80M spent on Sandoval, Buehler and Giolito.
  11. I count 14 of their 40 man roster spots committed to relievers. They aren't going to spend big money to bring in Tanner Scott. I don't see how spending money to bring in a free agent question mark helps.
  12. Sean Manea just signed for more than Pablo Jorge Lopez is getting paid. I would much rather have Lopez.
  13. Wade had an 840 OPS vs LHP last season and 709 OPS vs LHP in 2023. His OBP is well above league average vs LHP. He'd be a useful addition to the team whether they play him in LF, 1B or DH. If they platoon him they should be fired. Jorge Polanco is the perfect addition for a team with 4th place aspirations who wants to please the fans by bringing back a familiar name.
  14. I expect there will be a lot of calls about Castro once Bregman and Torres are signed.
  15. That's always the report for Canterino. I'll believe he's healthy after he's pitched 50 innings.
  16. Caba has higher ceiling (comparisons to Francisco Lindor). Keaschall has higher floor.
  17. He's probably a better prospect than Keaschall. The scouts love his glove at SS. Plus the Phillies threw in a Yasser Mercedes caliber outfielder.
  18. Rickey might be the most interesting baseball player since Satchel Paige retired. The world was a better place with him in it.
  19. Yes, and they end up with guys like Joey Gallo - a redundant LH bat who didn't fit the roster at all.
  20. Larnach is the starting LF and Wallner is the starting RF. Moving either of them to 1B just moves the hole around like one of those puzzles with a missing piece.
  21. I probably like Connor Joe more than I should. He's not really an upgrade but he's a useful baseball player.
