    Who will be the new Bob Tewksbury?
  2. DJL44
    He's no Brian Dozier
  3. DJL44
    Injured or consistently terrible (or both) is representative of the 2021 Twins.
  4. DJL44
    I think you released this article about 6 months too early.
  5. DJL44
    If pitching as well as Berrios is so damned easy how come almost nobody else can do it? He's one of the top 30 pitchers in the league.
  6. DJL44
    Is Falvey a car guy? Austin Martin, Mercedes, Rolls Royce.
  7. DJL44
    Agreed, they need to bring in as many pitchers in that price range as possible.
  8. DJL44
    I'm guessing Randy Dobnak
  9. DJL44
    Last year was one of the hardest to judge for that draft with no minor league season to go on. These players have developed into big league prospects over the course of this season. I don't think Jovani Moran would have been successful in the majors in April. I'm not entirely sure he'll be successful in September.
  10. DJL44
    Sano is the guy I'd be looking to trade. He offers the least bang for the buck. Expect Miranda to bounce back and forth between AAA and the big leagues next season.
  11. DJL44
    The way this season is going I would guess the day they designate Andrelton Simmons for assignment is the day before two other infielders end up on the disabled list.
  12. DJL44
    I was pretty sure we were going to see Ryan make his debut due to Maeda's injury but then I saw that Dobnak made a rehab start and I think I've changed my mind. Dobnak will come up before Ryan. There isn't an everyday spot for Miranda at the moment. Even if Sano or Donaldson got hurt that would just open a regular spot for Arraez.
  13. DJL44
    How many of the people saying "he was rushed" are the same people who accuse the Twins management of promoting too slowly and want to promote every minor league player after a hot week?
  14. DJL44
    Correct. Rooker is over 130 at-bats so he's no longer a "prospect". Nick Gordon should hit 45 days on the active roster soon as well. Everyone else should maintain rookie status until at least next season. Celestino is the next highest for service time.
  15. DJL44
    Rooker will be off this list if he gets 13 more at-bats. He's batting 2nd today so I'm guessing he's off the list by the end of this week.
  16. DJL44
    I'm surprised Nick Gordon is < 45 days on the active roster with 37 games played.
  17. DJL44
    Celestino has the CF spot in AAA. I'm guessing nobody gets promoted until September. It is disappointing that the Twins seem to want to turn him into a left fielder (see the comment in the article that Martin doesn't have enough arm for CF).
  18. DJL44
    I think I'd rather promote Austin Martin to AAA than Palacios. Martin has a .439 OBP in Double-A. For comparison, Martin has a similar RF/9 to Palacios but more errors at shortstop. Wichita's schedule is done September 19 but St Paul plays until October 3. I think we'll see a bunch of transactions on 9/20.
  19. DJL44
    Palacios is having a good year but an 800 OPS doesn't scream "promote me". That's not as good as what Nick Gordon did in 2018 and he was two years younger then than Palacios is now. I haven't heard rave reviews about his defense which makes me believe he's behind Royce Lewis, Austin Martin, Jose Miranda and Nick Gordon on the organizational depth chart. He has earned himself another season but I don't see a reason to protect him on the 40 man roster this offseason. Similar players will be available on minor league contracts as free agents.
  20. DJL44
    It is incredibly common for young pitchers to get injured. Of the pitchers who get drafted, 30-40% will require a surgery while in the minor leagues.
  21. DJL44
    If you think a player could be better if he just does "fill in the blank" then you have to keep him around long enough to see if he can learn how to do that. Grabbing waiver wire projects is fine for the rest of this season. I'm not concerned if they're learning in AAA or the big leagues as long as they have a plan for each of the acquisitions.
  22. DJL44
    There's plenty of time in the offseason to discuss what should happen in the offseason. Until then I think I'll watch some baseball.
  23. DJL44
    Jon Gray could be a decent value pickup
  24. DJL44
    I guess it's never too early to start the offseason around here. Sometimes it feels like a perpetual offseason.
  25. DJL44
    Jose Berrios was basically a 6 inning starter and he's top 10 in innings pitched. One thing I've often wondered is why starters need as much rest now when they're throwing 80 pitches as they did when they threw 120 pitches. A smart team could shift to a 4 man rotation and get 8 more starts out of their ace.
