    There was another article wondering if the Twins should lock up their young players with contract extensions. The ROI on locking up young talent is a LOT better than the ROI on free agent contracts for catchers in their 30s.

    They have a lot more need for a good first baseman on this roster. Better than Keirsey is an incredibly low bar. Keirsey was one of the worst players the Twins have ever had.
  3. DJL44
    The Twins will find Jeffers difficult to replace.

    Bell is a bad defender. That’s why he’s the DH. This team needs a SS and a 1B.
  5. DJL44
    International scouts have to pick which 14 and 15 year olds will be successful at 25.
  6. DJL44
    Have players in the minors learn at most 2 positions based on their physical tools SS/2B/3B OF 3B/1B C/1B 2B/1B or 2B/LF Stop playing people at positions they can’t handle (Austin Martin at SS)

    So what is the plan? Keep selling at the deadline until they somehow get enough pitching and left handed hitting outfielders to contend? They need to figure out how to turn their collection of assets into an actual MLB roster.

    $10M is the cost of one season of a relief pitcher now
  9. DJL44
    I doubt this team will start making pre-debut extensions. They rarely offer post-debut extensions.

    You don’t want to hand out these deals to marginal talents like Jose Miranda or Randy Dobnak. Even if you select the right players, they are not all going to payoff. However, the upside is real. The comparison is to a venture capitalist. Not every investment will pay off but you have to place some bets or you will be paying retail price.

    His gold glove days are in the past.
  12. DJL44
    How many fewer innings will the starters throw because the defense gives away outs?
  13. DJL44
    Miguel Andujar $1.5M Rhys Hoskins $1.5M Nathaniel Lowe $1.75M They each look better than Kody Clemens
  14. DJL44
    They could have had several 1B for $2M or less.
  15. DJL44
    We are already past that point.
  16. DJL44
    No, and based on their attendance I am guessing only the Saints coaches could answer Yes to that question.
  17. DJL44
    He has been awful at the plate and on defense. I didn’t think Lee would be very good but I also didn’t think he would be even worse than last season. I am not an Orlando Arcia fan but he is destroying AAA like you would expect from a major league player. He’s certainly more useful than Outman on this roster. I would cut Outman, send Lee to AAA and call up Roden and Arcia.
  18. DJL44
    It also makes his changeup a better pitch if there is 2 MPH more velocity separation.
  19. DJL44
    Not a lot of crafty right handed pitchers. Ober is not striking batters out so he’ll have to limit home runs and depend on the lousy Twins defense to get outs for him. He looks like a non-tender candidate this fall.
  20. DJL44
    If they’re extended now they can lock them up at the cost of a moderately expensive relief pitcher.
  21. DJL44
    Not extending Jeffers led directly to signing Caratini for 2 years and $14M.
  22. DJL44
    Simeon Woods Richardson is another player to consider extending.
  23. DJL44
    It's actually a small risk, compared to the alternatives: Sign a 30-year old free agent to an expensive, long-term contract (See Carlos Correa) Be forced to trade your hot prospects as soon as they get good because they're close enough to free agency that they won't agree to an extension. These extensions are the least risky option, especially for position players. There is a reason why the Brewers are so willing to hand them out. The downside risk is $10-30M but the upside is $30-100M. The Twins blew their chance with Jeffers. I'd rather they didn't repeat that mistake.
  24. DJL44
    Look hard enough on the internet and you can find just about any opinion. There are few people who believe this Twins team is built for contending. Most of the people attending games don’t believe that.
  25. DJL44
    8 games in so you can multiply by 20 and project statistics.
