    In hindsight it looks ridiculous that Campanella spent any time in the minor leagues at all. He was an estabilished Negro League star with 3 All-Star game appearances. His statistics agree that he was not challenged at those levels. What a waste of over 2 seasons of his short career.

    Miguel Rojas is not a terrible option at SS.

    Caleb Thielbar has been a great comeback story. He should be very proud of what he has accomplished. Still, time eventually wins with everyone and the organization should be ready to cut him loose if his production slips.

    If he's behind Randy Dobnak on a depth chart his chances of an MLB career are very slim. Balazovic hasn't had a good season since 2019 in A-ball. He was mediocre in Double-A in 2021 and horrible last year in AAA. The only reason to think he had a shot at MLB this year is the fact that he's on the 40-man roster.

    7 years existing on a minor league baseball player's paycheck is going to eat up a $500,000 bonus.

    At this point I think they'd be happy to take the $100,000 for the Rule 5 claim.

    Almost impossible for a 5 round draft to be deep.

    Draft picks go bust all the time. The Twins got Wallner, Steer, Canterino, Headrick, Julien and Varland out of the 2019 draft which more than makes up for Cavaco. 2020 was a small draft but Raya makes up for missing on Sabato. I think they deserve some slack drafting based on a month's worth of data in 2020.

    If you look at his college numbers you wouldn't predict 140 strikeouts a season but that's what he's done in the minors.

    Donovan has hits like Luis Arraez

    Was hoping for more Sunshine Superman in the article. Husker Du Sunshine Superman - YouTube

    I've seen people say we don't want to put Canterino or Balazovic on the 60 day IL because we shouldn't pay a minor leaguer a major league salary to sit on the injured list. Isn't that exactly what they would be doing with Royce Lewis? Wouldn't it be even worse because they would be burning service time on their best prospect when they could option Lewis and burn service time on the older prospect Canterino (or the least valuable prospect Balazovic) instead? Isn't the service time more important than the $500,000 difference in pay?

    Hopefully the #5 pick in the 2023 draft.

    I see the battle for the last roster spot between Larnach and Kirilloff. Celestino is already penciled in at AAA. Solano is an adequate backup but I don't know how he fits into the lineup. He doesn't do anything better than someone else already on the roster.
  16. DJL44
    Nick Gordon for a reliever would be a good move for this roster.
  17. DJL44
    My rebound pick is Matt Canterino. Hoping he comes back from ligament replacement surgery strong in September.
  18. DJL44
    Carlos Silva has starter upside.
  19. DJL44
    Greinke didn't strike out 100 last year. It will probably take until 2024 for him to make it into that club.
  20. DJL44
    It's hard to throw any movement pitch if you can't use your fingers effectively. It's impossible to be an effective major league pitcher without a movement pitch.
  21. DJL44
    Will he start the season at AAA? There isn't any room for him in the rotation if they keep Winder and Sands as starters. There are no expectations for Randy Dobnak this season. He's an afterthought.
  22. DJL44
    My guess is PECOTA is predicting a low run scoring environment for 2023.
  23. DJL44
    Better than 1950 Babe Ruth
  24. DJL44
    They paid a lot for Lopez. He's going to get as many chances as Colome.
  25. DJL44
    If everyone is healthy there isn't really enough room for everyone. Balazovic and Henriquez would end up back in Double-A to begin the season.
