    Well, if Judge suddenly is listed at Altuve's height, we know the Fix is In. 😆😆😆

    I think the pipeline was transformed. It won't do any good if they regress to Old Ways. Now about the hitter pipeline. And for the Love of the Hamm's Bear, teach, preach and demand defensive. You may be limited talent-wise, (the 80s, 90s and 00s certainly were), but defensively they weren't making fundamental mistakes. Piranhas 2.0 need to become a thing.

    " .199/.267/.276 (.543) with 26 doubles, two triples, and five home runs. " Cleveland, Detroit, KC and Chicago just gave the Twins the Central Crown. NOTE: do you know there is a Snark Mark like a question mark but for snarky statements? I NEED one. Consider several Snark Marks inserted. He is BELOW the Mendoza Line for a Career. Oh yeah, I get it now. The Twins have a history of developing hitters at the MLB level like Julien, and Lewis in the past 2 years and before that Sano. They are sucking all the Optimism out of my soul

    Underrated? I don't know what that means. Underrated by whom? I think recently the Twins have done a good job of developing pitchers. I think the farm system does not impinge hitters, make them worse. The farm system does NOT do enough on fielding and defense. The job with pitchers means I am OK with the pitching acquisitions But it will be improved hitting and improved defense that will take this team anywhere in 2026. Regime change in managing helps provide a sliver of optimism. But whatever happened to the Twins Way, the Piranhas and team that focused on defense, base running and other things that can be taught and does not solely rely on Talent.

    high 80s, 88-89 coming out of college.

    And the Twins have been OH SOOOOO GOOD at fixing hitters... But are these hitters the Top Bargains? Perhaps with airline miles, or bonus check for your local Subway card.

    Quibble all you want, going 7-3, (70%), because you came to bat (mainly) in big situations meant you delivered. Buxton went 4-1, (80%) Luke (the Force) (100%) Not bad

    In general, I agree. Only time I may not follow this if I have a chance to get a what I am considering as a Franchise prospect...but even then I would need to be blown out of the water. For example, let's say Walker Jenkins was available, (I avoided any college draftees on purpose) and you have a chance to get him. Then maybe I would blow more on the one egg versus trying to get many eggs in the basket. Good work Seth.

    Ding Ding Ding. (no reason, just need to wake up) Herein lies the KEY to the Twins success this year AND moving forward. Can the coaches IMPROVE the Twin's hitters and STOP degradating them to Low A level. Ideal Angle is just single data point. It will probably produce great results... If everything is right or near right. If you are busy, (feet/hands/head) you are most not likely going to be able to Ideal Angle. NOTE: This applies only to RH hitters because lefties are never Right.

    Nit: Twins to sign A top international prospect Not: Twins to sign top international prospect Two completely different meanings.

    Nice 12-6 curve of a question Bert. :) Still one of the most beautiful curve balls I've ever seen. I saw a video of Greg Maddux 2-seamer that just was nasty yesterday. I think Winokur is the TALLLLLLLL SS/OF at AA Am I right or should I wait for caffeine to have kicked in before commenting.

    I laughed at your post, but it was more my ****** mood and total disbelief the Pohlads can change. 40 years of the same old baloney. I love your optimism and that is where I normally sit.
