    Love that the Twins got an All-Star from Detroit for nothing.
  2. DJL44
    I keep wondering what kind of pitching they could get for Royce Lewis.
  3. DJL44
    Someone's getting traded. Castro also plays the infield pretty well. Martin plays OF/2B. Kirilloff and Keirsey are also in the org in addition to Severino. Some of that will thin out next season when Kepler, Margot, Farmer and Santana are gone but there's still enough MLB ready position player talent to trade someone for pitching.

    I love that unexpectedly good health from Byron Buxton is overshadowed by many other good developments.
  5. DJL44
    They want Julien to be the starting 2B. They have Miranda and Santana for 1B. Julien's last 4 weeks in AAA => .291/.467/.468. His last 5 games .353/.476/.941. He's heating up.

    I am excited to watch a game this weekend and I would like to watch more of them. When do you think the Twins will make their games readily available to their fans who don't want cable TV?
  7. DJL44
    Their lack of TV coverage is killing attendance. Out of sight, out of mind.
  8. DJL44
    The rainout was pretty convenient timing for the Twins bullpen
  9. DJL44
    And an OBP of .387
  10. DJL44
    That isn't Vazquez' fault. That's a management decision.
  11. DJL44
    You don't have to ignore 2023. If you assume that 600 OPS is his true talent level he's a perfectly fine 2nd catcher because of his defense.
  12. DJL44
    If you vote, show your work.

    Thielbar got a break from June 12 to June 20. Since then he has 6 straight scoreless appearances and has given up 1 hit to his last 20 batters. His last 3 innings he's faced the minimum 3 batters in each inning while striking out 4 of the 9.
  14. DJL44
    Texas is expecting to add Mahle and deGrom to the rotation soon so they have the ability to deal away a starting pitcher or two without affecting their rotation depth. I think they will be motivated to dump $15M worth of salary and get under the luxury tax threshold. I think Scherzer, Lorenzen and Robertson will be gone at the deadline. They would still have Eovaldi, deGrom, Mahle, Gray, Heaney and Dunning for the rotation.
  15. DJL44
    Look over what comparable players made last offseason and you get Joc Pederson at $9.5M with a $14M option and Jayson Heyward at 1 year $9M. I don't see Kepler doubling those contracts and I definitely don't see him getting double that on a 4 year deal. Who wants to bet big on 35-year-old Max Kepler?
  16. DJL44
    Royce Lewis could be spending a lot of time at DH to finish this season.
  17. DJL44
    Matt Wallner hit .173/.253/.387 off of lefthanded pitching in AAA with 4HR in 83 plate appearances. They probably avoided showing his 34 strikeouts against lefthanded pitchers (41% K) in the highlights.

  19. DJL44
    Correct, Martin was actually the "LH batting" half of the platoon before he got injured. They really don't need four LH hitting corner outfielders (Larnach, Kepler, Wallner, Kirilloff) on the roster, especially when Martin and Castro hit RHP just fine.
  20. DJL44
    Margot and Farmer and Kepler will all be gone next year at the latest which will be awesome since there will be nothing for anyone to complain about on Twins Daily.
  21. DJL44
    You've been noticing that it's really hard to make the RH guy a short-side guy all the time. Martin is still going to get plenty of at-bats against RHP even if he's always in the lineup against LHP.
  22. DJL44
    I expect pitch-for-a-while then injured-for-a-while is how Stewart spends the rest of his MLB career. I'd be shocked if he played an entire season without going on the IL.
  23. DJL44
    They really don't. Varland and Festa were both bad.
  24. DJL44
    Then there's Austin Martin who plays 2B and LF but doesn't have terrible platoon issues.
  25. DJL44
    Julien is sitting there as well. I do wonder how many of their current infielders will still be in the organization after the trade deadline. I expect to see position players traded off the roster to acquire pitching.
