    I don't know how much baseball all of us posters have played in our lives, but I just want to note that anyone even sniffing the big leagues does not 'suck' at baseball.

    I feel like I'm reading the name Nate Baez often lately. Any of our prospect evaluators out there have any updates? Is he becoming someone to watch or maybe just on a bit of a heater? How about his catching ability, does he have a chance back there? Sorry if I missed any potential article(s) that would have covered this.

    I'd see about signing Brandon Belt at this point. With Kirilloff logging OF time and Santana at 1B, there are DH reps.

    On a serious note though, I agree that guys should be able to pitch multiple innings and the AAA-shuttle can be used. One thing that did come to mind during the Jackson and Okert acquisitions though was the relievers with options have tightened, so if the out of options guys struggle and the optionable guys perform, the Twins might have some tough decisions. All in all though, if that is the case no one is really making that much outside of Thielbar, so it really shouldn't be that hard of decision.

    I think a 12-man staff with a 3rd catcher would probably allow for the roster to reach its full potential.

    Brewers are flush with young outfielders though, so the ideas of similar packages the Twins could have offered where Rodriguez or Gonzalez replace Joey Oritz wouldn't likely be as attractive to the Brewers.
  29. AWOLNATION_11
    I thought after reading the title of the article was going to be about the increased value of Kepler after the Yankees taking three left-handed hitting outfielders off the trade market. Can't image the Twins trading for Grisham is even a consideration for the front office.

    The front office/coaches would know better than me, but I would think that Polanco has enough athleticism and ability to play 1B. Why isn't the plan to have Polanco work on 1B in the offseason to help be a solution to that 'offseason need'?

    I'd offer it and gladly take him back if he accepts. I understand everyone wants to shoot for better and/or open up a spot for a youngster, but you need pitching depth and I don't know which free agents better than Maeda the Twins can legitimately get to sign here. Probably not getting the top guys, so the Twins are likely looking at guys that will perform similar to how Maeda will in 2024, but they'd need to go multiple years to get the other guys. Take Maeda for 1 year at a bit of an overpay and see how your staff and the free agent landscape looks next offseason. Also, I think if Maeda went to the free agent market saying he's looking to max out his earnings for 1 season only. I think a lot of teams would make 1 year offers approaching $20 million, so is it really that much of an overpay?

    Fun topic, I could think about this and read about this all day...could probably do this in two articles. Where Do the Twins Fit All of the Youth for the rest of 2023 Where Do the Twins Fit All of the Youth for 2024

    I'm confounded on why Polanco isn't playing 1B. Maybe he will once Lewis is off the IL. The guy was an everyday big league SS, you can't tell me he doesn't have the chops for 1B.

    Probably not the thread for this, but kind of on the topic of finding at-bats for guys. What is roster move expected with Polanco's impending activation? I'm crossing my fingers this is finally the Gallo DFA tipping point. Has to be one of Gallo DFA or optioning of Wallner or Castro right?
