    I have been hoping they dump Larnach and add Emmanuel Rodriguez the entire offseason.
  2. DJL44
    He's better than all of the other infield options. The Twins should not care in the slightest if Orlando Arcia or James Outman leave the organization. There will be better players on waivers at the end of March. There is a decent chance one of the final spots goes to a waiver claim instead of these options. If it was my decision, the three spots would go to Martin, Roden and whoever I could get out of a different organization to play SS.

    Hall of Fame standards have been "lowered" since the 1940s. Johan Santana is clearly better than some of the players inducted during that decade. It's a weird era for the Hall of Fame. They're actively avoiding the best players of the era (Bonds, Clemens, Rodriguez) because they used steroids to extend their careers. However, they still want to have inductions so they're leapfrogging over the best to induct players like Harold Baines, Billy Wagner, Tony Oliva and Jim Kaat.
  4. DJL44
    I would induct all of those guys except Wilbur Wood. Add in Saberhagen too.
  5. DJL44
    Absolutely ridiculous that Billy Wagner is inducted and Johan Santana can’t get 5% of the vote. Santana is clearly the superior pitcher.

    That article presents no data to back up it's claims. It's not a convincing article. There have always been late bloomers, but the odds are still better for prospects who get to the majors young. The other problem is it does the Minnesota Twins no good at all if Emmanuel Rodgriguez becomes a good player at age 27. They need him to produce before he's out of options or he'll get designated for assignment over all of major league baseball.

    The Twins wasted an opportunity to let him debut last September and wasted their time with Outman instead.
  8. DJL44
    I think Morris would be just as up-and-down as a reliever as he currently is as a starter. He seems like a 5th starter / middle reliever and those guys are needed over the course of the season.
  9. DJL44
    Miranda struggled in St. Paul last season. I completely understand why they decided to try Wagaman instead.
  10. DJL44
    They are probably still a bottom third team in stolen bases but they shouldn’t be dead last again.
  11. DJL44
    Even if they keep Joe Ryan for all of 2026, they're not a contender. A short season with Pablo back in the rotation and the prospects another year older could be interesting for 2027. Play for 2027-2028. That means trading Ryan and Jeffers.
  12. DJL44
    Not getting batters out in AAA is usually a reliable sign that you won't be able to get them out in MLB.
  13. DJL44
    Does anyone currently in the Twins bullpen have any plus pitches? That would be the start of a good article.
  14. DJL44
    I hope not. Festa has never been able to handle the innings needed for a starter. 2022 103.2 IP 2023 92.1 IP 2024 124.2 IP 2025 84.2 IP There there's his 1st and 2nd time through the order stats 1st time 206 PA .166/.218/.280 56K 11BB 2nd time 203 PA .301/.386/.523 50K 22BB Do you want 60 great innings out of Festa or 100 mediocre innings?
  15. DJL44
    League batting average is around .240 now. It was .270 thirty years ago.
  16. DJL44
    Then Wallner should have a great season. I don't expect the Twins to generate many high leverage situations in 2026.
  17. DJL44
    I think PECOTA has him figured out pretty well. Batting average between .210 and .230 is likely. I don't think he has impact player upside, but a .760 OPS with okay defense is playable.
  18. DJL44
    Possibly correct, but 2 fewer wins means their chances of making the playoffs drop below 20%. Their plan for making the playoffs was "everything needs to go right". They didn't have any margin. I don't think they should add another starting pitcher by trade. I would gladly accept a trade for a shortstop. A shortstop who can play plus defense would lower the runs allowed for all pitchers on the team.
  19. DJL44
    The Twins have a remarkably old and experienced bullpen. That should be helpful for Hawkins in his first season as a coach.
  20. DJL44
    The Twins front office is on record that they believe Keaschall is an All-Star talent. I am skeptical but if they really believe it they should lock him up now until he’s 30. Taj Bradley might be another to consider. Walker Jenkins is an obvious one. Pre-arbitration players aren’t going to have a long track record, but that’s also why they can afford the contract. If you want “proven” talent you pay more, and then they still risk injury.
  21. DJL44
    It would be smarter to offer contract extensions to their pre-arbitration players
  22. DJL44
    Stop sharing revenue that comes from attendance. Then there is an incentive to field a competitive team.
  23. DJL44
    A salary cap without changes to revenue sharing is pointless. Changes to revenue sharing are needed.

    Love the Twin Cities uniforms. Hate the city connect uniforms. The rest are okay. I like MINNESOTA across the chest on the road uniforms rather than TWINS. TC logo is much better than the M* logo.

    Tauchman had to settle for a minor league contract. Kepler is unemployed, maybe he will end up with the Royals.
