    If Larnach puts up that line, he's non-tendered because he would cost over $7M in arbitration. If Outman hits .260 it would be his best season in MLB by a HUGE margin. That would exceed his 99th percentile projection. He's hit .141 over his last 304 plate appearances over two seasons. He only hit .235 for the Saints. If we're just wishing for things to happen, then why not wish that Emmanuel Rodriguez hits .360? Do you really think Emmanuel Rodriguez doesn't have the talent to hit better than .141? If so, it would be malpractice to keep him. Trade him now before he exposes that he doesn't have the ability to contribute in MLB.

    A rebuilding team should operate WAY differently than the way the Twins have operated this offseason. They haven't made any decisions as if they're a rebuilding team.
  3. DJL44
    When he was drafted they used Kyle Tucker as a comp. Is that no longer his ceiling?
  4. DJL44
    Which is crazy because FALVEY ISN'T HERE ANYMORE. They don't have to be married to his decisions anymore. What's the point of firing the POBO if you maintain the exact same status quo?
  5. DJL44
    Lewis has two options. They could burn one and give the job to Wagaman.
  6. DJL44
    It's now or never for Orze - he's 28. Travis Adams could be cut as well. Jackson will free up one roster spot. He's not going to make the team.
  7. DJL44
    There are a lot of other pitchers around the league with opt-outs. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see one of those pitchers end up in the Twins bullpen. If you're a veteran reliever looking for a big-league opportunity, the Twins bullpen looks like the easiest path.
  8. DJL44
    That looks like a 50% success rate in MLB. That's the absolute best case scenario. At best you get someone with a 50% chance of contributing. More likely you get nothing in return for Larnach, Outman or Clemens. In the meantime, you're stifling the progress of your best prospects and burning their options.

    Why? I get why it makes sense to keep playing Wallner, but why does it make sense to give playing time to outfielders who clearly won't be around for the next good Twins team? At best they'll recoup a grade 40 prospect who is also unlikely to help the next good Twins team.

    Bailey Ober is "crafty".
  11. DJL44
    Or perhaps Alex Jackson traded for a utility infielder
  12. DJL44
    They should be set for low leverage situations, but I don't know if there's anyone I really trust with a 2-run lead in late innings. 8 interchangeable mediocre pitchers.
  13. DJL44
    He’s already at least as good as Outman.
  14. DJL44
    Option him and use Gray instead. Do they really plan on pulling Brooks Lee in the 8th inning of every game? If not they have no use whatsoever for Kreidler.
  15. DJL44
    Orze has had a lousy spring. Liam Hendriks has more walks than strikeouts.
  16. DJL44
    The 6th starter will still get around 20 starts this season
  17. DJL44
    There are several. Google says Reynaldo Lopez, Michael King, Matt Barnes, Hogan Harris. Louis Varland increased his velocity, which improved his effectiveness. If Ober can throw 2-3 MPH faster he will be as effective as he was at his best.
  18. DJL44
    After the Twins Hall of Fame ceremonies, it would be prudent to ask him NOT to give a speech at this award ceremony.
  19. DJL44
    Seriously? I guess with robots taking over the job there aren’t many actual humans left to induct.
  20. DJL44
    Maeda pitched out of the bullpen for the Dodgers. I would definitely try Ober in relief before I would release him. A move to the bullpen could increase his velocity enough to become effective again.
  21. DJL44
    Not sure if he is old enough for Shelton. Better keep him in the minors a few more years while they play 29-year old waiver wire castoffs from other teams.

    I see Caratini as the obvious pinch hitter for Larnach in late innings. There is a very small chance they have a catcher injury and they can still move Caratini to C but they lose the DH for maybe one at-bat. At that point you use your last position player to pinch hit for the pitcher.
  24. DJL44
    I see another Max Kepler.

    Bader was awesome last season.
