    Really a fun series of articles. Just what I need to read in mid-January. Thanks Seth. I sincerely appreciate your insight.

    From my view here in North Carolina, I say to all you mid-west residents: "Be careful what you wish for".

    Great post Doc. Thanks.

    I don't understand what you are implying. Can you explain?

    55 steals in 62 attempts? Here's your sign.

    I agree 100 per cent. It is my belief the Twins' flawed platooning, and lack of fundamental situational hitting (advance the runner by sacrificing and/or hitting behind the runner and too many double plays), led to a lack of Twins' late inning offensive rallies.

    I hope the Twins give Larnach some work at 1B to see if that could be a good fit.
  8. tarheeltwinsfan
    This would be really good.

    Thanks Doc. Happy new Year to you too.

    Rosey outlook. I'll be checking all these prospects and others in Ft. Myers in 2 months. I can't wait. I received a "Salty Papa's Shrimp House" (located at Ft. Myers) gift card and tee shirt for my birthday. two days ago. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

    The Twins did not exactly trade from a position of strength...left-handed pitchers. Trading Moran is a head scratcher for me.

    How many of you would have signed Max Kepler to play for the Twins for  2025 for 10 million dollars?  I'll make the first vote - Yes.

      The Twins and Phillies compete on different plateaus. Would i like Max Kepler? Yes. Can the AL Central teams afford that pay? No.

      I think $10M for a fourth OF defensive replacement is too much for the AL Central.

      Why are we concerned about what other AL Central teams can afford?  If Larnach & Wallner can combine for a 6 WAR, $10 Million for Kepler is too much.  Really think they're gonna do that?

    Tyler Jay, Kohl Stewart, Cavaco, Miguel Sano, Alex Kirilloff. Gordon, Sabato, Levi Michael vs. Buxton, Lewis, Lee , two years of Sonny Gray ( traded for Chase Petty, the Reds 8th ranked prospect). I hate to be a downer, but the Twins should not sign Jenkins or Erod to a long term deal yet. The probability of handcuffing a historically limited payroll is too great. But the main reason the Twins won't sign these two prospects is that the owners are trying to sell the team and new owners may not like this risky proposition.

    If Castellano adds velo to his pitches, due to a move to the bullpen, that may free up Jax to start. Why no lefty relievers? Is this a new statistically based decision, or are the Twins just going with what they already have ......which is ???

    Santana was a joy to watch play 1B this year. I hope he returns to Minnesota for 2025. Santana hit OK. In fact he led the Twins in HR'S ( twice as many as Turner) and RBI'S's and was second on the Twins in number of at bats. He came to play every day. I feel his bat was not a liability at all last year, especially after a slow, cold April. His WAR was 2.4. Turner's WAR was 1.5. Santana = Rawlings Gold Glove vs. Turner =Sub average fielder. Santana was deservedly the Twins Defensive player of the year in 2024. This is a team with 2 past Platinum Glove winners Santana's cost was half what Turner's was last year. Santana is younger. I don't recall Santana missing time from injuries last year. I am strongly in favor of signing Santana instead of Turner. Santana's superb defense will make our pitchers and infielders better.

    I agree 100%. Nice article.
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    Nice article about good memories.

    "Draft beer, not us." was a saying in the 1960's. That was a different kind of draft.
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    CH, Your view is my view exactly.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    I submit that Griffin Jax is a possible starter also. I would like to see how that would pan out.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Excellent article.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    The Twins will need to make room for the 37 year old righty reliever who has had a good year pitching middle relief for the Tupper Lake Riverpigs.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    He will make way more money as a starter because.....? Give up? It's because starters are more valuable than relievers. Period. Move Jax to STARTER. Tell him now to start getting ready and to get in the best shape of his life. He needs to go to Drive Line, the same training camp he went to last winter, which by the way was where Jax was told why he could be a successful starter, even after taking into consideration that he will lose some velo. His trainer/teacher wrote that Jax's stuff, control and wide variety of good pitches (5) was so good that he can still be successful as a starter and his injuries have been very negligible.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    There is a reason that all major league teams pay good starting pitchers way more than good end of game relievers.

    I have more confidence in the Twins development of pitchers, than I have for the FO's success in trades. Having said that let's look at a few of the current Twins' pitchers the FO obtained in trades: Lopez, Ryan, SWR, Duran, Acala. Hmmmm, I need to change my original statement in this post. This FO has done pretty well with these 5 pitchers, all of which were obtained in trades. I guess time will tell.
