    Keirsey is more likely to be picked up off waivers since he has 2 options left, but I expect both would not be claimed if outrighted this offseason.
  2. DJL44
    OAA has him at -1 -2 in CF, +1 in LF and 0 at 2B It's all based on very small sample sizes. As a utility player he doesn't have much utility. If the 2026 bench players are Austin Martin, Kody Clemens and Brooks Lee, that would cover the positions they need to cover but the defense would be bad at SS and CF. They could slide Jenkins over to CF when Buxton needs a break, but they don't have a good backup at SS.
  3. DJL44
    I don't think Jenkins will be added to the MLB roster until March 25 of next season.

    That’s a lot of confidence in 99PA. I’m glad he’s playing better but I think there is more work to do if he wants to be an everyday player.
  5. DJL44
    I hope Raya makes his debut if Topa goes on the IL. Even if it goes poorly it would be more useful than bringing back Davis.
  6. DJL44
    Guessing Topa ends up on the IL. Hoping someone other than Davis replaces him.
  7. DJL44
    Keep running him out there. Every time his ERA increases, his arbitration award decreases.

    What an absolute disaster year for Jose Miranda that he can't even get called up to play on this lousy team. Is his career over?

    They're going to need to have Nelly show up every week.
  11. DJL44
    I really hope the owners aren’t planning on sabotaging their product by accelerating the decline of MLB with a lockout.

    Wacha throws 93-96. He’s not a soft-tosser.
  13. DJL44
    I think his hitting will improve but he’s not a shortstop. He is less athletic than most MLB middle infielders. He’s 24, so not that young, and has had access to high level coaching his entire life. He’s as experienced as any 24 year old player can be. His path to contributing is at 3B, but the Twins have Royce Lewis there. The Twins have known this since they drafted him, or they should have if they read any scouting reports.

    There has to be revenue sharing. The Yankees and Dodgers need other teams to play to fill out a 162 game season and those teams are going to demand a cut of the revenue. How the revenue is shared matters. Right now the Twins only get 50% of the revenue for each additional ticket sold but they're 100% responsible for additional payroll. MLB needs to revamp it's revenue sharing to share more of the the media money (which comes from existing) and less of the attendance-generated money like parking, concessions, and ticket sales (which comes from winning).

    My uncle said to hope in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up faster.
  16. DJL44
    Who else is going to hire Falvey or Rocco to run a team? I agree that the MLB revenue sharing model creates really bad incentives.
  17. DJL44
    They will make about $35-$40M more profit by losing. It's included - "Other".
  18. DJL44
    I expect them to trade Larnach and I expect them to sell Joe Ryan at peak value. That brings the payroll down to $83M. I think they will shop Ober, but won't like the offers so they'll keep him and hope for a bounceback so they can sell him at the 2026 trade deadline. I am a little worried they will sell Jeffers and go with Pereda and Gasper behind the plate.
  19. DJL44
    To win next season they need those prospects contributing on day one and they still need to add 4 relievers, a first baseman and a catcher. Do you think that is likely?
  20. DJL44
    I'm guessing the investors bought in knowing the Twins were going to cut payroll and cash revenue sharing checks. It's the most profitable business model under the current CBA. Shared revenue in MLB is over $200M per team. Will the Twins even spend half of the money they get from the league?
  21. DJL44
    They have two below-average 3B to show for those picks. I really don't know how they fix this without finding a new team for one of them. I guess they'll keep putting Lee out at SS to try to prove everyone else in the world wrong. Trust the process.
  22. DJL44
    I would still rather watch a random baseball game than a random football game.
  23. DJL44
    Brooks Lee had an awful night on defense. Pereda had a good game, he can stick around.
  24. DJL44
    I think it's basically Sands and Topa returning. Funderburk, Adams and Ohl should be AAA depth and not on the 26-man roster to start the season. I would put Festa and Prielipp in the bullpen. That leaves 4 more spots.
  25. DJL44
    Not if you want hope for next season. If you want to believe they can turn it around, you don't want to see them playing like the worst team in baseball (which they have been since the ASB).
