    I don't think they need to dump Paddack for nothing, but they need to trade him before he injures himself again. Don't wait until the deadline.

    Most of the good teams are pretty close to the budget number they want for this year. Adding $37M to the budget is not going to happen. They're going to require the Twins to take a contract in return. Most of the good teams also already have a SS better than Correa.

    Yes. The pension alone is worth it. Every minor leaguer should be striving to get 43 days on an MLB roster to get the minimum pension.
  4. DJL44
    Any problems you have outlined can be solved by raising the minimum salary. You don't need to get cute with waiver claim bonuses or extra housing. Just raise wages. The MLB minimum should be closer to $1M.
  5. DJL44
    They need to move Paddack to another team's roster.

    After that start, Festa has the highest WAR of any pitcher on the roster. 3 runs allowed in 13 innings.

    This site takes 5-10 minutes to update in my experience.

    He's on the IL now. Gasper up.
  9. DJL44
    Like most players signed as pure free agents, Correa has a net negative future value. They could trade him for another team's overpriced free agent but a deal for top young prospects is a pipe dream.
  10. DJL44
    This is true. Correa can't drive the ball at the moment. So much weak contact.
  11. DJL44
    There is always an article asking "What will the team do when everyone is healthy?" but I don't remember a time when that has happened.
  12. DJL44
    Keaschall has been getting great jumps. He's fast enough but that's not all of it.
  13. DJL44
    This is how the Twins train their pitchers in the minor leagues. Throw 75 pitches and you're done for the night. It's inevitable that this is the result in the majors.
  14. DJL44
    Remember his lousy .514 OPS in the first half last year? That would be a huge improvement over his current OPS of .318. He's projecting to between -1.5 and -3 WAR for the season. That's crazy bad for a half-time player. His statcast page says he's doing a great job of squaring up the ball, and his hard hit % is awful with no bat speed and no power. He's an incredibly slow slap-hitter. He should bunt every time there is a runner on base ahead of him to avoid the double play.

    I think someone else is bound to get hurt by the time Lewis returns. Ultimately the guy Lee needs to beat out on the roster is Ty France. France has been pretty much what you would expect - OPS+ in the 90s and blah defensively. Either Lee or Lewis can move to 1B. I don't think it's too high of a bar to say Lee needs to be as good as Ty France to keep a spot in the major leagues.
  16. DJL44
    He's in that dreaded spot for a hitter - recognizing pitches, swinging at the right ones and unable to put the barrel on the ball at all. Everything is weak contact.
  17. DJL44
    That doesn't make any sense. ABS is not going to be fooled by pitch framing. The Twins desperately need to buy a real catching prospect. He could move quickly to the big leagues - Vazquez has been awful this season on offense.
  18. DJL44
    Lee has more walks (5) than strikeouts (4). He's hitting the ball. He has a .143 average but his statcast page is bright red including barrel% and hard hit%. The hits will fall if he keeps this approach. He's fielding fine at 3B. He's still slow but sending him to AAA isn't going to fix that. If you're going to give a rookie a chance, he deserves more than 8 games to establish himself. This is especially true if he's been holding his own over those 8 games. Lucky for Lee, we won't see Lewis for a couple more weeks.
  19. DJL44
    It's been 8 games for Brooks Lee. He's already been on base more times than Miranda was in 12 games.
  20. DJL44
    I'm going to guess it will take Larnach injuring himself more than he appears to be injured currently. Bader has a 104 OPS+ and plays great defense. McCusker is not stealing any of his playing time. Keirsey is a defensive replacement and pinch runner. He doesn't get much playing time.
  21. DJL44
    Ouch
  22. DJL44
    They seem likely to manipulate service time with Festa and Matthews this season to make sure they get an extra year's control out of each of them.
  23. DJL44
    I think that is the best defensive play I have seen from Julien.
  24. DJL44
    I really like entertainment decisions to be simple. I was quite pleased that the Twins TV package was $99/year. That was a pretty easy yes/no decision to make. It might be the only money I spend on the team this season but I'm not regretting my purchase. There are a lot more Saints games now with a AAA schedule. That's like 50% more seats to sell.

    The whole thing sounds like Skee-ball, where you play for a couple hours and realize your 30,000 points are worth a pencil eraser shaped like a frog.
