  1. Why are you sure his arm will improve? Arm strength is one thing that remains stable for almost every defender until they hit 30 and it starts to decline. His speed makes him a better fit for LF in Minnesota because it is considerably bigger than RF.
  2. Gonzalez is an average AAA player. He shouldn’t have been called up in the first place. Sitting on the bench in the majors isn’t doing him any good.
  3. There is always downside risk, but the earlier you sign the extension, the smaller the downside
  4. That’s why Keaschall should learn 1B. They have outfielders who can hit better than that.
  5. I think Keaschall should work on both 1B and LF in the offseason. He’s not going to be the best fielder at either spot but some versatility could keep him out of playing DH.
  6. I can't see Abel or Lopez bouncing back to pitch 160+ innings next season. I expect both pitchers will have their innings monitored closely. Worst case, they can stash Ober in the bullpen until he's needed in the rotation.
  7. Bailey Ober has the 3rd highest bWAR of any pitcher on the Twins
  8. Weak arm goes to LF. He seems to be getting better in the OF. He's fast enough to cover some ground.
  9. Orze had a FIP of 3.34 versus his ERA of 5.66 and he's a groundball pitcher (which means the Twins infield defense did him dirty). He has a 2.65 ERA in AAA. He's been more impressive than Acton for the Saints. He's also not arbitration eligible until 2029.
  10. That’s Luke Keaschall
  11. That doesn’t matter as much if he continues to walk 4-5 batters per 9 innings. His control is his problem, not his stuff. I am rooting for him, but he is going to be 29 with very little time in the major leagues. It is a bad sign he is still working on a 3rd pitch at age 28.
  12. Those are exactly the extensions the Twins are missing out on. Once the player “proves it”, they’re in arbitration already and too expensive. I would like to see contract extensions for Taj Bradley, Luke Keaschall, Walker Jenkins, and Kaelen Culpepper this offseason.
  13. The Twins have used 20 different relief pitchers this season so the idea of an 8-man bullpen is misleading. Optionable minor league depth is necessary. That’s Acton’s role in 2027.
  14. Which is a huge favor to the Twins. Take the draft pick and reallocate spending to second base and pitching.
  15. Why can other teams extend their players but the Twins can’t ever do it? They have extended Lopez, Buxton and Randy Dobnak. Is Minneapolis an undesirable place to spend a career, but Milwaukee is a land of ambrosia and prosperity?
  16. It’s going to be a long offseason. You might not want to use up articles like this in September.
  17. They would need to find a team who wants him at 3B because he doesn’t hit enough for 1B.
  18. Portland would be a great addition to the Pacific Coast League
  19. And by all in, you mean they will run back the exact same roster minus Ryan Jeffers.
  20. Looks like the Twins will be eliminated right about the same time the Saints end their season. It would be nice to see Emmanuel Rodriguez debut in San Francisco.
  21. No, it was not certain to be caught. If it gets over the fielder he could score but he needs to get to 2B.
  22. 8 games under with 18 to play. Their only shot is to go 14-4 or better. I wouldn’t bet on any team in baseball to go 14-4. 75 wins looks likely.
  23. You haven’t paid much attention to reliever market value
  24. I've been told by many posters here that "second half Joe" will tank 2027 all on his own.
