    The Twins had zero, "0", players mentioned in the MLB.com article of the top 40 rookies from 2026. Not exactly a good sign. Also the latest power rankings had the Twins at # 24 out of the 30 teams. I am discouraged.
  11. tarheeltwinsfan
    I would have fun watching that too, especially the part of having no first baseman.

    The Twins had zero players named in mlb's top 2026 rookies according to long term value. This does not bode well for the Twinkies future.

    Did you all notice that 3 of the 6 finalists for relief pitchers of the year for 2026 were Magill, Varland and Duran? What the hell !

    I must disagree with Bauers, who I am not confident will have a "good year" in 2027, or ever again, for that matter.

    Oops, 19 batting titles counting Arraez's 3, which we can't. I would love for the Twins to sign Arraez, but where will Arraez play when Houston is ready for the big leagues? First base? DH? His fielding at second base this past year was not just good, it was outstanding. What about putting Arraez at 1B an spend the money necessary to sign him to a multi year deal, thereby solving the Twins' annual 1B problem. He can even fill in at 2B, and do it well. Look at how Chandler Simpson helped the Rays by his bat to ball skills (and yes, his speed which Arraez doesn't have) batting in the middle of the order. It was a breath of fresh air to see Chandler moving he runners along EVERY AT BAT. Sign La Regardera ("The Sprinkler"). Offer him a 4 year contract worth 60 million dollars and be prepared to pay 75 million with a higher back end.

    I'd rather have 2-3 years of Jeffers any day rather than 2-3 years of Bauer. See what it would take to sign Jeffers and sign him. He would make a good DH and a good mentor, when Lackey is ready to play in the majors in a year or 2.

    Where do you propose Ramirez will play, once Houston arrives?

    I beg to differ DJL44. Bell's RBI's were not mentioned in this article, nor in any of the 16 comments to this article which had been posted prior to my post about ignoring Bell's RBI's So YES DJL, I did read the article and the comments to this article...and that was my point. Is having the 13th most RBI's out of 615 major league players in 2026 who batted, which is in the top 2 %, not even worth a mention, and if so why? My question addresses whether RBI's are useless statistics.
  31. tarheeltwinsfan
    I like run producers. Players who consistently hit with runners on base are valuable in my book. Why has there been no mention of Bell's 96 RBI's this year? Are RBI's not important any more? If so, why not? If so, would you advocate revamping the requirements for the Triple Crown? Just asking.
  32. tarheeltwinsfan
    I wish them all well. But such is life in the majors.

    San Diego just lost another starter to free agency. The Padres are desperate for starters for 2027. Maybe the Twins could trade Ryan for 19 year old Kruz Schoolcraft, a 6'8" lefthander flame thrower, who is the Padres #2 prospect and #88 overall, plus 24 year old #7 Padre prospect Tucker Musgrove , a 24 year old with a 70 rated fastball who missed time with an arm injury. Musgrave pitched in AA last year and is projected to make the Padres major league team this year. He may become a valuable relief pitcher. for the Twins. Or maybe Ty France could be had to play 1B again for the Twinkies.
  34. tarheeltwinsfan
    Sign Vesia (lefty) and Abreau (righty) to go with Hoffman, Morris, Gomez, Nance, Banda (L), plus either Sands or Funderburk (L) and that's a pretty decent relief staff. I'm sure Ryan, Bradley, Lopez, Mathews, Ober, Prielipp (L) and Kremer would really appreciate it.

    I have been a Senators' /Twins' fan since 1953. My most memorable, signature picture of an artist playing baseball for the Twins, or any team for that matter, has been Byron Buxton running out a triple. I have never seen any player duplicate Buxton's graceful speed and his unique ability, when already running faster than I thought humanly possible, to suddenly to kick it into another gear, like a nitro boost button on a racing motorcycle.
