  1. I'm also very confused over Kiersey and McCusker at this point. Very. Not with Roden and Outman on the 40 man....(or, even w/o them, frankly).
  2. When I sort 50 grade or higher, on teams trying to win next year, and players who are in AAA or MLB ..... I see three players. Colt Emerson (SEA) - 6 games in AAA is not any more really than Culpepper..... Aidan Miller (PHI) - 8 games in AAA is not any more really than Culpepper.... Alex Freeland (LAD) - definitely has AAA and some MLB experience. (since it was stated we shouldn't trust Culpepper because he hasn't played above AA yet).
  3. Rumor has it McCarthy changed at least one play.... But yes.
  4. I don't know. We have no idea why they played better. But awful teams win sometimes, and great ones lose, so I think it's more likely they just played better. And had three important starters back. But I could be wrong!
  5. Except they didnt trade for 9 7th round picks....but yes.
  6. Every one of these guys will get signed by some team. Are they all bad at this?
  7. Fangraphs list of the best: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2026-top-50-mlb-free-agents/
  8. Prefer the Phillies deal, but it is hard to say w/o knowing what was offered. I don't think the Twins need a bad defensive OFer at this point (or in the next 5 years).
  9. As I said earlier, I'd have worked hard to deal Hockenson and somewhat to deal Addison....but I get why neither was. I would have gladly dealt a mid round pick for a DB, since this FO SUCKS at drafting.....
  10. Also, this is the org that kept Martin at SS for no reason, and is doing so with Winokur....I don't trust them to get more SS.....
  11. Just say no to HS pitchers early in the draft. The track record over decades is just not good. edit to add: Great writeups as always. Thank you.
  12. I really don't know what he could say, realistically, that would matter at all. I agree with that last part, btw....
  13. What do you expect people to say in things like this?
  14. I'm all in on OF and SP, since you need more than 1. Lots more than 1. They have limited assets, and have Culpeper and Houston (and to a lesser extent Lee) they clearly believe in. If I am dealing Ryan, I want OF and SP back, or a C, since they have none after next year basically. You can't play w/o a C. I'm happy to disagree here.....that's ok with me.
  15. He's talking about acquiring a SS that is already in the majors. If that's a good idea, in confused as to the plan for next year. Using one of the best players in the game as an example is silly.
  16. That's a lot to give up
  17. They have limited assets and two SS they believe in. If you need lots of things, you don't use limited assets on things you expect to have in half a year.
  18. It would be insane to use assets to acquire a SS if you have Culpeper and Houston.
  19. Good to see Dallas stink.
  20. I count 35 AA (or more advanced) players ranked 50 or higher by Fangraphs on playoff teams or teams even close to playoffs (no teams in the Twins division included). The Mets have an amazing 6 of those,, three of which are SP. That's your target, IMO. Most teams have 1-3 at most. It will be VERY hard to get multiple highly rated prospects from most teams because of that.....IF you want players that will be in MN in 26 or 27.
  21. Pretty sure there is..... Or should be.
