  1. I wouldn't be surprised if Canterino passed through waivers without getting claimed. Roster spots are hard to come by at the moment.
  2. Umpires call 97% of pitches correctly. Believe it or Not, Umpires Are More Accurate Than Ever | Pitcher List Strike Three?! Let’s Check in on Umpire Accuracy | FanGraphs Baseball
  3. More comps - Michael Conforto, Cory Snyder, Colby Rasmus, Max Kepler
  4. How many AAA teams do they need to fill roster spots for?
  5. The Twins signed Armando Alvarez to a minor league deal. Guess that means it's time to trade Royce Lewis!
  6. If everyone is healthy, two of those things will happen even with Paddack in the rotation.
  7. The Twins aren't big fans of $7.5M relief pitchers. Paddack in the bullpen means some combination of a) losing Ronny Henriquez on waivers (out of options) b) optioning Topa and/or Alcala to the minors c) no lefty in the bullpen d) returning Eiberson Castellano to the Phillies
  8. Why do we want to keep a mediocre pitcher to block the pathway for our rookie class? The rookie pitchers in AAA (Festa, Matthews, Morris, Raya) have a lot more potential than the rookie OF/1B types (Helman, Keirsey, Gasper, Martin). I'd much rather start the season with Festa in the rotation and Andujar in the OF than I would with Paddack in the rotation and Austin Martin in the OF.
  9. Oakland is looking to add another starting pitcher and they need to add payroll to avoid a grievance filed by the MLBPA. Miguel Andujar is a mediocre corner outfielder with a $3M pricetag. He hits lefties well and can also play 1B. Paddack for Andujar could work.
  10. The games are about an hour longer than they were when Bench was catching, or at least they were before the pitch clock was implemented. That's an extra half hour in a squat every night. The playoffs are also 2 weeks longer and teams want to have their best catcher productive for that whole month. Finally, I think the worst players have gotten better so the gap between your beat-up starter and a fresh backup is smaller than it was in the 1970s.
  11. He has one option left. He was added young enough that he might get a 4th option season.
  12. That's his real photo. Go ahead and search on google images.
  13. Correa's production is quite valuable to the Twins but he doesn't have a lot of excess value once you subtract the value of what he gets paid. That's why other players end up higher than Correa. I'm pretty certain you couldn't get a team to give you a top 100 prospect in return for Correa in a trade.
  14. They have more relievers than they can fit on the roster already. Why would they trade their starting catcher for an expensive relief pitcher? If they want an expensive reliever they can just sign one as a free agent.
  15. Buxton belongs on the list instead of Julien. I would have Andrew Morris on instead of Raya. Festa should be just below Jax and Duran. Move Jeffers and Correa ahead of Zebby Matthews. The rest are close enough that I don't care. Walker Jenkins, CF Royce Lewis, 3B/2B Bailey Ober, RHP Joe Ryan, RHP Pablo López, RHP Brooks Lee, SS/2B/3B Emmanuel Rodriguez, CF Matt Wallner, RF Griffin Jax, RHP Jhoan Durán, RHP David Festa, RHP Ryan Jeffers, C Carlos Correa, SS Byron Buxton, CF Simeon Woods Richardson, RHP Zebby Matthews, RHP Luke Keaschall, 2B/CF Trevor Larnach, LF José Miranda, 3B/1B Andrew Morris, RHP
  16. Is that the most embarrassing professional photo you've ever seen? It looks like it was taken when he had to be at the gym at 5:30am.
  17. Please let this turn into a feud
  18. Berrios would have walked as a free agent and freed up that money all by himself.
  19. Not for a team out of contention. A quality player on a losing team has little value.
  20. Disagree strongly. They have zero younger, cheaper players who are likely to produce the same as can be expected from Willi Castro.
