    They were better off playing Urshela at 3B last year but he's gone now so that's not an option. Assuming they don't add a different player for third I would lean toward playing Arraez at 3B. He's a much better defender than Miranda so it makes sense to give him the more difficult defensive position.

    #15 for Fangraphs. The description I saw said average fastball, good curve, minus changeup. If his changeup has improved his prospect stock would also rise. Not sure which of Arraez and Miranda gets 3B, the other will get 1B. I liked Urshela and I think they probably could have received just as much at the deadline. A little disappointed in this trade.

    Wait until you hear what the "Twins" team name refers to
  4. DJL44
    The "Twin Cities" unis look like the Saints

    Lots of analysis on the shortstop supply, not much on the demand. I count the Dodgers, Red Sox, Phillies and Cubs as teams actively looking for a SS and I expect each of them to pursue one of the big four (Correa, Turner, Bogaerts, Swanson). The Braves, Yankees, Angels and Giants will also have interest at the right price. That's 8 teams with deeper pockets than the Twins they will have to outbid.

    The M looks like the Washington Senators W turned upside down.

    I am more interested in Manuel Margot of the Rays. RH bat who is a good defender. He's getting too expensive for Tampa.
  8. DJL44
    The Twins usually have a hard time with the W

    Urshela would be the top 3B on the free agent market if non-tendered. Any team looking for a 3B would be glad to have him at his projected salary.
  10. DJL44
    I don't think Boras lets Bogaerts sign before Correa.

    Besides the players not added this year (Urbina at the top of that list) the list of trade bait, ahem, players who need protection are Austin Martin, Aaron Sabato, Marco Raya, Alerick Soularie and Kalai Rosario. It will be a light year for adds next winter due to the 5 round 2020 draft.
  12. DJL44
    I'll take the under on that
  13. DJL44
    I get that they want to keep the lefty. Hope he's ready for the bullpen soon. They must know something about Legumina because based on his stat sheet he looks like a pitcher I would sell for $100k without worrying about it.

    If they find someone better they can put Garlick on waivers.

    Mitch Garver hit 31 bombs and won the Silver Slugger in 2019

    Urshela has played SS and I'm sure he could play 1B. The Twins don't need any more second basemen, they're about 5 deep at that position.
  18. DJL44
    Why would you sign Drury to replace Urshela when you could just keep Urshela?
  19. DJL44
    They're going to have at least 2 spots open during the Rule 5 draft and I doubt they draft anyone.
  20. DJL44
    A non-tender of Urshela would be pretty dumb. He would be the top available free agent 3B ranked above an aging Justin Turner and Evan Longoria.
  21. DJL44
    It's a contract for $750k. That doesn't prevent the Twins from adding someone else later and putting Garlick on waivers.
  22. DJL44
    fWAR works fine. WPA measures context, not performance.
  23. DJL44
    I'm going to guess the Twins are willing to take $100k for Helman whether or not it is in the Rule 5 draft.
  24. DJL44
    I think Urbina has the ceiling of a starter but I also think he's low risk for a team to stash all year given how few position players are on a team's bench.
  25. DJL44
    I would rather see the Twins sign a free agent lefthanded pitcher and put him on the roster instead of adding Headrick. I think that will help the team more over the next couple seasons.
