    .271/.384/.504 .331/.423/.496 The top one is what Trevor Larnach did in AAA at age 26 (after struggling in the majors in his debut). The bottom is what Roden did in AAA at age 25. Roden is the better fielder (though Larnach was better than he is now when he was younger). The Twins aren't crazy to think Roden is a low-key upgrade on Trevor Larnach. Larnach has provided about 1 WAR per season, Roden could do the same for league minimum.

    Like Jose Miranda

    I doubt everyone in St. Paul is thrilled to be there.

    Really, why would they acquire another outfielder when they already have the worst hitter in the history of the franchise on the 40-man roster? So stupid.
  5. DJL44
    They should be pushing prospects to levels that require them to improve, not keeping them at levels that aren’t challenging just to win minor league games.
  6. DJL44
    It’s a good thing they let them both acclimate to the organization in AAA and debut against a bad team like the White Sox. It could have been ugly if they had gone directly into the rotation.

    Julien is one of the only players drafted that low to even make the major leagues. He has over performed compared to expectations on draft day.
  8. DJL44
    Outman has played 5 games for the Twins. They aren’t going to rotate in new players every 5 games. That would be an insane amount of roster churn.
  9. DJL44
    By next week someone here will be ready to cut him and bring up Payton Eeles. Heck, someone might have already said that and I missed it.
  10. DJL44
    There isn't much more to learn about Julien. He's plateaued as a baseball player. Sabato is hitting worse than Jonah Bride and Dashawn Keirsey in AAA. I am ambivalent about Cardenas. I do think Abel should come up. He doesn't have that much left to learn in AAA. I think Urena will be replaced with Lopez shortly.
  11. DJL44
    I think he's at Cedar Rapids

    I'm just telling you what my opinion is based on.

    A bit surprised I don't have to buy a personal seat license for my couch and a separate one for my recliner.

    Unbelievable. This group couldn't run a lemonade stand. Is there some sort of collusion among owners to make sure prices stay high even when nobody is buying the tickets?
  15. DJL44
    Welcome to Major League Baseball.

    The Cardinals are raising season ticket prices 15% amidst a losing season with plummeting attendance. How much will the Twins raise season ticket prices?
  17. DJL44
    The only thing I liked about this season was TwinsTV streaming. Not thrilled to pay double the price for next season.
  18. DJL44
    I cut the cord. My TV provider is an antenna. Maybe they will have a bundle with Disney+.
  19. DJL44
    I can't believe they think doubling the price for streaming is a good idea. Report: ESPN closes in on Twins TV rights with deal that could raise prices

    Fangraphs says he's the worst batter (non-pitcher) in Twins history with > 90 PA. He's hitting .116 for his career with 33K against 2BB in 99PA but keep on hoping.
  21. DJL44
    Better question, will anyone be watching? The ESPN TV rumors would make me a radio fan again.
  22. DJL44
    Yes, and the likelihood is less than 40% of those 20 will. They'll find 6-8 guys out of 20 and hope they find another 6-8 guys out of 20 in 2027.

    Ownership, GM, Manager, 1B, 3B, C2, SS, LF, SP4, SP5, SP6, SP7, RP1, RP2, RP3, RP4, RP5, RP6, OF4, UT

    In order to compete next season, they need three of Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Culpepper and Jenkins to force their way to the majors. I think one of the four might but expecting three to do it is unlikely. They also need Royce Lewis to hit, find a 1B and add three effective relievers. I think they will trade Joe Ryan and probably Bailey Ober as well, but I think they'll keep Pablo Lopez around as a mentor to the younger pitchers. I think Larnach is likely gone. Vazquez only returns if he signs for $1M. Their highest paid players would be Lopez ($22M), Buxton ($15M) and Jeffers ($9M). Lewis ($3M) and Topa ($2M) would be their only other players who make more than the minimum. That's an $82M payroll when you include the $10M they owe Correa. If they add veterans, I hope they add defense like they did with Bader. Lewis and Buxton are the only plus defenders on the roster.

    I heard a good interview with Toby Gardenhire about Prielipp. He said his stuff is great and he's getting ahead of batters but having trouble finishing them off. That will lead to higher pitch counts.
