    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/minnesota-twins-top-44-prospects-2024/ Surprises: Woods-Richardson at 20 (seriously, he's already done more than most prospects will ever do) Gabby Gonzalez at 15 Dameury Pena at 10 Rayne Doncon at 11 (rated one tier higher than Noah Miller) Yunior Severino at 40 (Below Salas)

    Miranda has been a better option than Arraez this season if you're looking for a DH or 1B. The Twins are 7th in wOBA (and trending up since adding Lewis). They don't have room for Wallner, Kirilloff, Julien or Lee on the 26 man roster. If they want to add a DH bat they should look for someone like JD Martinez who can really hit, not Arraez.
  3. DJL44
    Arraez has been the worst fielding 2B in the majors this year.

    Deserves a separate thread

    That's a huge defensive downgrade without much offensive upside. The Twins don't need to add more infielders.
  6. DJL44
    They're pretty bad at getting Matt Wallner out.
  7. DJL44
    Unfortunately. I'd rather they chased pure rentals. They cost a lot less and have less future injury risk.
  8. DJL44
    There is a spot open for Festa on the 40 man roster.
  9. DJL44
    See you after the All-Star break
  10. DJL44
    Bats rounds 1-2, pitchers rounds 3-10. Like almost every pick from rounds 3-10.
  11. DJL44
    Paddack is the best trade bait in the Twins rotation and the spot that needs to be upgraded. I like the idea of sending Paddack to Texas in exchange for someone.
  12. DJL44
    I don't think they are done seeing what Brooks Lee could return in a trade. If he's off the 40 man roster and playing SS he's more valuable.
  13. DJL44
    Or they're a catcher, or a gold-glove SS, or any number of other things.
  14. DJL44
    Against LHP and the Twins won huge both games partly due to their contributions.

    The only thing interesting about WPA is the chart. Once it does the accounting to assign credit/debit to individual players incorrectly (and thanks for reminding me that it also ignores baserunning in addition to ignoring defense) it is useless.
  16. DJL44
    Farmer barely plays now that Lewis is on the team. Then there's the option of promoting Julien to take 2B instead of Lee. I'm not certain that promoting Brooks Lee makes the Twins noticeably better. He would need to post an OPS+ better than 110 or he'd be hurting the offense. His defense will take some work at 2B. The Twins infield is quite good already. Moving Castro to LF bumps Larnach or Miranda to the bench and they're both hitting pretty well.
  17. DJL44
    LA wanted to dump Margot from the roster. That was their main motivation for the trade.
  18. DJL44
    78 wins should be enough for 3rd place and they already have 49. That's a 29-58 pace (.333) the rest of the season which is worse than the Rockies have played. I doubt they finish below .500, too many wins already in the books.
  19. DJL44
    The Twins can worry about 2029 later. Correa is the shortstop until then. Noah Miller should be available as a minor league free agent if they want him in 2029.
  20. DJL44
    What is your "eyeball test" on every other second baseman in baseball? It's important to determine what MLB average is at a defensive position before determining Julien is below average.
  21. DJL44
    Just think how good every draft would be if you could do it over with 5 years of hindsight.
  22. DJL44
    Sometimes being lucky is better than being good. He has an ERA of 6.58 in the big leagues and 7.33 in the minors. He's been bad far more often than he's been effective. The way to "use him correctly" is to move him back to the bullpen where the increased velocity makes him effective.
  23. DJL44
    The odds Brooks Lee comes up and immediately plays better than Willi Castro (or Royce Lewis or Carlos Correa) are quite low.
  24. DJL44
    The Twins got Wallner, Varland, Julien, Steer, Canterino, Headrick, Gipson-Long and Legumina out of this draft but by all means keep complaining about Keoni Cavaco.
  25. DJL44
    You may be the only person who sees Varland get destroyed by the Toledo Mud Hens and thinks "Promote this pitcher!". Edit - OMG, there's another!
