    Let someone else make that mistake. Brandon Woodruff is a 30 year old pitcher with a serious shoulder injury. Ask Glen Perkins how that works out.

    Then he's really not as good of a player as everyone says he is. You can't have it both ways. Either Correa is an elite talent or he's not. If he's not worth a highly paid #2 starting pitcher in trade then he's not an elite talent.

    I vote for November, 6 2001.

    There is essentially no difference between #4 and #5 on a prospect list.

    I think Correa is terrific. He's also taking up 25% of the Twins' tiny budget and is one of the few players who would return elite starting pitching talent in a trade.
  6. DJL44
    DH or 1B, I agree. The other option is to trade another infielder next winter.

    What is your minimum acceptable performance vs LHP? 700 OPS? You would want at least 50% confidence that he's performing at or above that level. That's (guessing, didn't look these up) 1000 OPS after 30 at-bats or 900 OPS after 60 at-bats. 800 OPS after 120 at-bats in AAA would give you good confidence that he can hit with a 700 OPS in MLB.

    Statcast, Stabilization Rates, and Data-Driven Decisions (redscontentplus.com) If they don't use data, they're just guessing that he's ready. It takes 60-120 plate appearances to get good data. The prior 100 plate appearances (2023) say he's NOT ready. All I'm saying is they should get an equal amount of plate appearances that say he IS ready before he's promoted.

    Plus, he will get maybe 5 at-bats vs LHP in Spring Training. He needs 50-100 ABs versus lefties to know whether he's ready for a promotion.

    The baseball smarts remind me of Molitor or Ripken Jr. His fundamentals are terrific which will allow him to play above his athletic abilities. The only reason to keep him in the minors is to develop his switch hitting. I like Correa but I would consider trading Correa to make room for Lee when he's ready.

    They have somehow put together a top-rated bullpen with Caleb Thielbar as the most expensive player.
  12. DJL44
    I think the Cubs will get Chapman or Bellinger. Maybe both. The Giants and Angels are also still shopping.
  13. DJL44
    You're missing Jay Jackson.

    As a personal note, post here if you see Gordon jerseys or shirseys on clearance at the pro shops. I have relatives with that last name who would probably want a Gordon Twins jersey at a discount.

    If you look at the organization the Twins need another LH relief pitcher more than they need another lefthanded outfielder. Okert is slightly above average and that's pretty good for a 2nd lefty reliever. This frees up a spot on the roster for Larnach or Martin or a different free agent addition. Good luck to Nick Gordon in Miami.

    It has to spend either money or prospects (or both) to get more talent (starting pitching) that will help in 2024. They could spend at the trade deadline instead of the offseason but it will cost more at the deadline.
  17. DJL44
    Where are the 1st round picks from the 2024 and 2025 drafts? I hope they're in the top 5 or the Twins drafted poorly.
  18. DJL44
    No, the case for spending is this team has a real shot at winning the whole goddamned thing if they add just a little more talent.
  19. DJL44
    They aren't even doing anything with their local streaming rights, which should be equally valuable as their broadcast rights.
  20. DJL44
    Didn't he have to get a physical to get traded?
  21. DJL44
    I saw today on MLB Trade Rumors that one of the factors in the Athletics search for where to play in 2025-27 is their $70M TV deal which goes away if they leave the Bay Area. How did the A's negotiate a better TV deal than the Twins?
  22. DJL44
    I think being a good teammate is considered more important when you're looking for bench players. If you're a superstar and you go out every day and produce people will overlook a lot of bad behavior. It's clear that clubhouse chemistry is not valued particularly highly on the open market. If it was the Twins wouldn't be able to afford any of these guys.
  23. DJL44
    The description gives me Delmon Young flashbacks. If they can get him to be more selective they could have another Dan Ford. Looks like he has enough bat for CF and barely enough glove for LF.
  24. DJL44
    If they're using data to make the decision he is going to run out of innings before they are able to determine that answer. He needs to show he's clearly better than 13 pitchers on the 40-man roster, plus Festa, Ohl and the dozen relievers they have in AAA. That will need at least 50 innings in AA to get promoted and another 50 in AAA to get enough data to make the decision. Otherwise you're promoting based on potential and not results. They only get to add a couple extra arms. They don't get to bring up the whole 40 man roster anymore.
  25. DJL44
    I don't expect to see Raya pitch for the Twins this year. He doesn't need to be added to the roster until next fall after the season ends. They are likely to limit him to less than 120 innings after pitching 63 in 2023 and that means he'll be shut down in September.
