    You try getting hit in the ribs with a 97 MPH pitch. Unreal.

    Fangraphs has Julien's current and future defense a 30, which is, to be polite, not good.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    The details are amazing, given they do this for 30 teams! I learned a lot.....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Ya.,...but clearly they love his hitting, given his overall grade......No idea what they can do with him at this point, other than hope.......
  5. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. I think he's a Dolphin next week, but we'll see....Maybe Dalvin and a 5th for 3rd or 4th.....

    The Twins minor league rankings are up today.... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/minnesota-twins-top-36-prospects-2023/

    Unreal timing!
  8. Mike Sixel
    great writing!

    Kiriloff can play RF..... But your point is valid
  10. Mike Sixel
    Ya. Please. No. Not early.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Used to do that all the time, but he's mostly behind a paywall now ...

    No idea why Lewis had to be in the infield. I don't get the handling of Martin at all. I'd guess Lewis at third or CF, Lee at third or second, Severino at third or second, Miranda at third or first..... Julien at first or DH.

    Gregory 1:59 What are the chances the Big 5 draft prospects are not the first 5 taken? Keith Law 2:00 I think there's a 95% chance that the top 4 picks come from the Big 5. The Twins are the wild card for me.

    Dave 1:53 Happy big birthday! With Joulien sent down today because of Polanco’s place on the Twins’ depth chart, do you think his bat and on-base skills will ultimately translate from MiLB to MLB? Keith Law 1:53 I think he has a long career but is only a sometime regular.

    Recent buzz has Max Clark as an option for the Pirates at 1st overall. I know the top-5 in this class is very strong, but would passing on Crews/Skenes/Langford be a Bryan Bullington level error on the Pirates part? Keith Law 1:39 I think that's been the buzz all spring - if they wanted to go HS, he'd be the choice. And in some drafts he'd be 1-1. It doesn't hurt that he plays about 20 minutes from Pittsburgh's AAA affiliate, so any exec in town to see their prospects can just pop over and see him too. I think the risk they run if they take Clark is that a year from now Crews and Skenes are in the big leagues and Clark is in A-ball, even maybe doing well there, but they've missed a chance to get someone who gets there almost right away.

    Zack twink 1:34 Was Emmanuel rodriguez over hyped... or it there not a reason to worry yet. Thank! Happy birthday Keith Law 1:34 He's very young, with less than a half-season in low A last year, and it's only two months.

    aholla 1:32 If Stephen Strasburg was coming out of San Diego State this year, would he be a unanimous lock to go No. 1 overall or would there be some arguing for a hitter given rising concerns about pitcher durability? Keith Law 1:32 Paul Skenes is, in effect, Stephen Strasburg in this draft. And Skenes isn't a lock to go 1.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Josh 1:16 Louie Varland & Bailey Ober — middle rotation guys? BOR? Keith Law 1:17 Varland might prove me wrong. I didn't think he was a long-term starter but he looks really, really good.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Benjamin 1:12 Thoughts on Jose Miranda & his future? Keith Law 1:13 Victim of circumstance. He's a regular for someone. Twins might just not have a place for him. Would really help if he had more (any) defensive value.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ha.

    My peas did not grow this year, pretty sure there was an issue with the seeds I got....about 1/5th came up. Sigh. The spinach and cilantro are out of control. The tomatoes are not loving this cool weather (its been an awesome week here weather wise), but are growing. We have more mint, oregano, and thyme than anyone could use, but our rosemary plant is very unhappy. The stupid squirrels pick our strawberries, then don't even eat them. I covered them yesterday, we'll see if that work. Unsure what's up with my rogue potatoes (every year I think I pick them all....). Six plants are up, two are already massive. I tried to dig up new potatoes yesterday from one, but didn't find a single potato. I know there are some in there...... And, my zuchini is odd right now, but that might recover. I love gardening....

    Always maintained my belief in Jeffers......so many here wanted to just DFA him.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Tough call on Julien.....as his defense isn't just "ok", it's actually bad. I remain convinced his bat will play, the question is where? Also, I can't see them extending Polanco. Not with Lee, Lewis, Julien, Martin (if ever healthy), Salas, et. al........If Polanco was healthy? Maybe. But, he hasn't been that for some time.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I mean, I'd move Kepler and call up Wallner, but I understand why that isn't happening (also, not likely to happen until July anyway).
  25. Mike Sixel
    It is looking like that streak is over.....(the good one)....hopefully for him he can get back to close to there, but I have doubts.
