    It has been a lot of fun. Tom Pohlad was so amused he emptied his wallet. I still miss having someone tell me if there is a pitching change or a pinch hitter.
  2. DJL44
    We are watching Kreidler’s OPS plummet in real time. He’s probably still worth playing with a 550 OPS since he’s the only player they have who can actually play SS.
  3. DJL44
    Buying or selling, they will be shopping Wallner.
  4. DJL44
    They already did Jenkins
  5. DJL44
    Better than giving the money to washed up free agents.
  6. DJL44
    Not really. They could give extensions to Royce Lewis and Taj Bradley and front-load the money.

    The White Sox and the Rays may have the luxury to “get cute”. They can essentially offer pick #3 slot money ($9.7M) and see if the player they like best will take it. Emerson might take pick #3 money to go #1 which would leave the White Sox with $1.6M to use elsewhere in the draft. The Twins are just going to pick the best guy remaining and give him a slot value bonus.

    Past the second round, what you described is a positive outcome.

    https://library.fangraphs.com/pitching/game-score/ 77 is an excellent game score. The stat is designed so a perfect game is around 100. Bailey Ober’s “Maddux” complete game was a 90. Abel had a 79 in April. I think a 77 is the third best score for a Twins pitcher in 2026. https://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/topperformers/_/type/pitching

    For Bryan King, sure. For Steven Okert, no thanks.

    Zoll is the head, but Sean Johnson is the assistant GM in charge of amateur scouting and the draft.
  12. DJL44
    There is a ton of video now. I would be surprised if Zoll hasn’t watched video of a few dozen players. I am sure Sean Johnson has watched video on hundreds.

    I got to attend this game on a cloudy, humid evening. I really enjoyed watching the.Cleveland defense fall apart and give a game to the Twins. The team who played the best defense won the game. Royce had a lot of trouble with the Guardians starter. I don’t think he hits lefties very well. Lee also struggled. Kody Clemens did not seem to have the same issues. Fedko looks desperate to get a hit. This debut is obviously not happening like he dreamed about. MLB has crushed a lot of dreams over the years. Taj was terrific and so was the bullpen. Thanks to Special Olympics for the free tickets. It was fun seeing athletes around us wearing USA games medals the size of dinner plates. For those that like to complain about cost: parking $16 (and I saw $3 parking a half mile away) six hot dogs, pretzel, peanuts and nachos, two beverages for about $35. Total was roughly $50 plus gas for the evening.

    Bradley needs a contract extension
  15. DJL44
    Maybe they can rotate outfielders every three innings in a piggy back configuration
  16. DJL44
    Throwing junk can work if you can throw strikes. He was walking everyone last season but has found the strike zone in 2026.

    OPS includes slugging. On base plus slugging. Roden has an OPS of 915 in 579 plate appearances at AAA. He’s a good bet to put up an OPS of 715 in the majors with good defense. The team could use that right now. Jenkins has an OPS of 825 in 150 PA this season. He’s a good bet to put up an OPS of 625 in the majors this season. His upside is higher because he’s 5 years younger but all the statistics say Roden is the better player right now.
  18. DJL44
    That’s fine, but it is in direct contrast to the statistical record where Roden has 100 points more OPS in AAA.
  19. DJL44
    Jenkins isn’t hitting as well as Roden in AAA.
  20. DJL44
    It is time to play him or trade him. He is not going to develop any further in AAA.
  21. DJL44
    I think Houston is with the Wind Surge now
  22. DJL44
    The Twins are on a knife edge tipping point right now and what they do might come down to what they are offered. If New York decides they absolutely need to make the World Series and offer Lombard, Rodriguez, Lagrange and Hess for Joe Ryan and Ryan Jeffers then the Twins will sell. The Dodgers and Brewers have enough talent to make stupid offers as well.
  23. DJL44
    As someone else mentioned, those expiring contracts will only have 33% remaining at the deadline. Adding three $10M relievers only costs $10M in added payroll.
  24. DJL44
    Senzatela $12M with $14M club option for 2027 Estevez $11.1M per year until 2027 (yuck) Jansen $11M expiring Weaver $11M until 2027 (okay) Minter $11M expiring Pagan $10M until 2027 (yuck) Finnegan $9.5M until 2027 Strahm $7.5M expiring Johnson $6.5M ($8M mutual option) Yates $5M expiring Ferguson $4.5M expiring Vest $4M expiring Schreiber $3.7M expiring
  25. DJL44
    Fedko has also struggled with every level promotion. I think the Twins are doing him a favor by letting him fail in limited exposure so he knows what he needs to work on to improve.
