    You forgot Royce
  2. DJL44
    What infield depth is keeping them from bringing in Arraez? Ryan Kreidler or Royce Lewis?
  3. DJL44
    Here are all the first baseman clearly better over the last 3 seasons than the second basemen I listed. Bryce Harper, Matt Olson, Rafael Devers, Pete Alonso, Freddie Freeman, Vlad Guerrero Jr, Willson Conteras, Michael Busch Which one are you trading for and how are you going to get him?
  4. DJL44
    Any of those second basemen can slide to 1B if needed (though that would be a waste of Jazz on defense). What are you trading to get a first baseman? This team should absolutely not trade prospects for veterans. Adding a free agent only costs money. If Houston develops and they have too many good infielders, that means they have assets another team would trade for. The market is providing second basemen this year.
  5. DJL44
    2024-26 WAR totals Jeffers 6.4 Lowe 9.6 (will have QO attached) Chisholm 7.3 Torres 6.9 Arraez 5.4 I think they can get a second baseman and the comp pick for $20M less than Jeffers will get in free agency.
  6. DJL44
    A second baseman who has a higher career OPS than Jeffers 750.
  7. DJL44
    The one that still burns me is Ronny Henriquez. He was good in his audition but cut to keep Mike Tonkin. Randy Dobnak was kept on the Opening Day roster. Dobnak pitched mop-up once in a loss, his only innings that season. He was cut 5 days later. The Twins lost both Headrick (who still had options) and Henriquez to use Dobnak for one game, keep Matt Canterino on the 40-man and give Mike Tonkin another try.

    I would not be shocked if we find out later that Ty France had an assist from PEDs.
  9. DJL44
    I think you mean Rick Anderson. Wes Anderson makes whimsical, eccentric films.
  10. DJL44
    Rojas still looks like an excellent pitching prospect and Roden can play at a major league level. What makes no sense was halfways trying to compete in 2026.
  11. DJL44
    I expect those three to combine to miss at least 200 games. They combined to play 224 games in 2026 which is not quite 1-1/2 full time players (262 games missed to injury). They should have 100 games for Roden and 80 for Martin and will still need Kody Clemens to cover some outfield starts to get through the season.
  12. DJL44
    This happens to every team. Players aren’t good enough, get cut, improve somewhere else. The Twins may have been bitten more often because they’re “competing” so they go with a low upside “proven veteran” like Taylor Rogers. That’s the fault of the people putting the roster together, not the coaches.
  13. DJL44
    So they’re both going to be better than Bobby Witt? They’ll have to trade off winning MVP awards.
  14. DJL44
    Don’t be a “negative Nelly”. He’s obviously going to be one of the 50 best players who ever lived.
  15. DJL44
    The Giants won two with Brandon Crawford at SS. That would be a great outcome for Marek Houston.
  16. DJL44
    Witt was the #2 pick in the draft. The Orioles selected Adley Rutschman #1 overall.
  17. DJL44
    The latter. There are very few players in MLB history with multiple SB and batting titles. Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner and they played 100 years ago. It’s a huge leap to say “Houston was worse than Witt Jr in AA and he was a year older. Therefore, I think he’ll be the next Honus Wagner.”
  18. DJL44
    I feel like digging up discussions here from 2020 about how our highly rated prospects Royce Lewis, Alex Kirilloff, Trevor Larnach and Jordan Balazovic were going to make the Twins certain contenders.
  19. DJL44
    Witt has already won a batting title and averages 41 steals per 162 games (top 10 in 5 consecutive seasons). If Houston profiles as “more” than that then we should expect multiple batting titles while routinely leading the league in steals. I am skeptical he will achieve that level of success.
  20. DJL44
    And had a SLG 120 points higher
  21. DJL44
    Everyone counting chickens before they hatch.
  22. DJL44
    Whatever calculator they use internally for determining player value is overrating bat-first corner outfielders.
  23. DJL44
  24. DJL44
    I don’t think he has any trade value. Teams are not looking for a RH platoon DH for their AAA roster. Keep him in AAA for now and see if his bat improves at age 23. If he hits like he did in AA they might actually find someone interested in trading for him.
  25. DJL44
    Ober had better stats the first time through the lineup than any relief pitcher on the Twins roster. I guess they only have #8 caliber bullpen arms.
