    It is a shame because it is a great opportunity to promote the new talent and introduce them to a larger audience. Instead they seem completely uninterested in the players. Philly fans paying $1000 to boo All-Stars was another weird moment.

    It was great to watch a baseball game where the focus was on the baseball game. I found myself bored with the All Star game but I’m convinced that it is due to how they cover it. I don’t want in-game interviews, skits about the Sandlot or moments of silence about cancer that last way too long. I want to watch baseball players play the game.

    If you really want to limit his innings, give him a full reset. Two weeks off with no throwing at all. Gradually build back up in AAA like spring training. Bring him back in August and start counting innings at zero. Mechanics are much more important than total innings. If he is fatigued and his mechanics get sloppy, bring in a reliever. If he’s doing well and repeats his delivery consistently, let him pitch.

    I think they need to keep Paredes stretched out for the rotation. They have no depth beyond him. Send him to AAA to be the 6th starter. They don’t have a 7th starter at the moment.

    I like the idea of using Caratini or Jeffers as a pinch hitter on their day off rather than using them in the field. With Kreidler in the lineup it gives them a pinch hitting opportunity every day. If Gray starts and Jeffers is on the bench you plan on using Jeffers to pinch hit and replace with Kreidler on defense. Caratini is a great strategic pinch hitter because he switch hits. That means the opposing team won’t pull their reliever for the platoon advantage. Having the third catcher in Jackson gives them the opportunity to let Jeffers and Caratini get at least one plate appearance every day.

    Nobody should ever worry about a roster squeeze because all the pitchers are simultaneously healthy. It never happens.

    “Lewis can't make a strong case to play over Bell” Lewis has a massive advantage in defensive value.

    Besides Lackey, Wachsmann is the key to this draft.

    Camilo Doval might get squeezed out of the Yankees bullpen if they decide to acquire someone. It would cost the Twins very little to acquire him. Doval was great for the Giants, throws 98 and is only 29. He seems like a good project for Maki like Yoendrys Gomez.

    No thanks. Too much.

    Matt Wieters was 2 years. Rutschman was 3 years but one was Covid. Zunino was a year. Buster Posey was up in a year for a week in September.
  12. DJL44
    I dare you to find a fan who won’t attend games because Byron Buxton doesn’t have a contract for 2029.
  13. DJL44
    Given the level of talent on the waiver wire, he’s probably a major league catcher right now. If he can hit .150 and play good defense he’s as good as Sandy Leon. That would be a waste of service time, but he might be as good as Cossetti and Cardenas right now.
  14. DJL44
    Buxton is already signed through 2028.
  15. DJL44
    Your point is valid even though Georgia Tech is in the ACC.
  16. DJL44
    They still have arbitration rights to Jackson in 2028.
  17. DJL44
    I am hoping the Twins are in the pennant chase in September next year and won’t have any playing time available for rookie debuts. Also, they don’t need to add Lackey to the 40-man until December 2029.
  18. DJL44
    Lackey is about a month older than Mauer was when he debuted.
  19. DJL44
    About two weeks before he turned 21.
  20. DJL44
    I did not think Morris would be this good, this quickly.
  21. DJL44
    I am hoping for Opening Day 2028

    This is not currently a championship level team. The benefit from reaching the playoffs this season is in allowing the younger players to gain playoff experience. If they trade Jeffers for more talent but finish one game back of the last wild card spot, so be it.
  23. DJL44
    Maybe they can piggyback catchers….
  24. DJL44
    Tait and Tinney have the same flaws.
  25. DJL44
    I think Kyle DeBarge is your guy.
