    This is worth tracking as the season progresses. Thanks for giving me something to root for.
  2. DJL44
    I believe he was signed as a minor league free agent this past offseason. In that respect, he's already been released once by the Twins and brought back as a "project". The odds of success for a prospect who reaches minor league free agency (seven seasons in the minors without being added to a 40-man roster) are not good.
  3. DJL44
    In the near-term they need to win 9 of their next 15 games just to reach .500 by the trade deadline.
  4. DJL44
    The bullpen could look different in 2 weeks.
  5. DJL44
    Misiewicz is less interesting than Funderburk. This does give Travis Adams an opportunity to stick around after Zebby Matthews returns.
  6. DJL44
    What's the upside on Eeles? Below average second baseman? That's the kind of player you use when they're cheap and non-tender in their 2nd arb year.
  7. DJL44
    Joe Ryan's first year of arbitration was $3M. Raises are rarely more than double. Zac Gallen got CYA votes in three different seasons and his arb pay has been $5M/$10M/$13.5M. Do the Twins really need to cut loose multiple players so they can afford to pay Joe Ryan $7M next season and $14M the season after that?
  8. DJL44
    Painter, Miller and Tait sounds like a good start. Throw in Abel or Chace and we have a deal. Ryan has more surplus value than Santana did when the Twins traded him.
  9. DJL44
    How many playoff teams have three top 100 prospects to start the bidding?
  10. DJL44
    I would vote no on all of them except Gossage. Billy Wagner as a Hall of Famer while Johan Santana can't get 5% of the vote is a sick joke. Santana was at least twice as valuable as Wagner. Maybe if Santana had pitched less effectively he could have stayed in the bullpen and made it to the Hall of Fame.
  11. DJL44
    Stewart has a long history of injury. He might pitch until the end of his team control and he might throw the last pitch of his career before the season ends.
  12. DJL44
    Keirsey can't hit a lick. A corner OF gets a difficult fielding chance once every 18-20 innings (which means Keirsey does something useful less than once a month) but gets 4 at-bats every 9 innings. Austin Martin should be able to play outfield as well as Larnach and hit lefties better than Larnach.
  13. DJL44
    Sounds like there's a bigger role for Austin Martin on this team than there is for Dashawn Keirsey.
  14. DJL44
    Danny Coulombe will be coveted as a lefthanded reliever.
  15. DJL44
    Sports Illustrated (or the zombie remainders of that magazine) is reporting (quoting the Athletic) that other teams have shifted scouts to follow the Twins in preparation of the trade deadline.
  16. DJL44
    Relievers are a not a position just like "slot receiver", "nickel back" or "long snapper" are a not a position. The position on the field is pitcher, just like the positions for football are wide receiver, cornerback and center.
  17. DJL44
    I would leave all the relievers off the All-Star Game roster if I had a choice. None of them are in the top 30 for pitcher WAR.
  18. DJL44
    4 games under .500 and 8th in the wild card race is underwater, not treading water.
  19. DJL44
    Gonzalez, Morris, Prielipp and CJ Culpepper are most likely. There are more guys who will be exposed than just those 15, but they're even less likely to be selected. Winkel, Holland, Prato, Morales, Baker, Canterino at AAA Baez, Cossetti, Rucker, Cespedes, Salas, Ross, Ortega, Kalai Rosario, Fedko, Kyle Jones, Paredes, Stankiewicz at AA DeAndrade, Doncon, Urbina, Olivares, Hidalgo, Chaney at Cedar Rapids A
  20. DJL44
    Gabriel Gonzalez is 21, has 175 PAs at AA (with a 970 OPS), 1700+ PAs in the minors. He also needs to go on the 40-man roster this offseason or he will certainly get selected in the Rule 5 draft.
  21. DJL44
    The most likely prospects you will see are either a) already on the roster - that's Keaschall, Raya and Rodriguez (and McCusker). Also includes the graduated prospects Austin Martin and Kody Funderburk b) eligible for Rule 5 draft this offseason so they might need to be added to the roster - that's Pierson Ohl, Andrew Morris, Cory Lewis, Christian MacLeod, Jaylen Nowlin, Cody Laweryson, Noah Cardenas, Aaron Sabato, Tanner Schobel, Ricardo Olivar, Gabriel Gonzalez (my dark horse instead of Jenkins), Connor Prielipp, CJ Culpepper, Darren Bowen and John Klein. You're unlikely to see anyone from list B until September.
  22. DJL44
    He has speed and range in the infield, can field a hard-hit ground ball and turn the double play. He has a weak arm compared to MLB SS and CF and compares more favorably to 2B/LF.
  23. DJL44
    I wouldn't say I want to watch bad veterans, but I also don't want to watch bad rookies. I don't see a reason to burn service time on a real prospect if he isn't ready yet. That just means some other team gets his productive years when he signs somewhere else as a free agent.
  24. DJL44
    The season's over for the Twins. The ASG will be one of the highlights of Buxton's entire career.
  25. DJL44
    I would take Joe Ryan for my pitching staff over any of them.
