    The Twins just improved an already really good bullpen by signing lefty Coulombe. If the Twins keep Jeffers and Vasquez (smart, experienced, catchers) and C-4 plays his usual sterling SS and somebody is placed at 1B who can catch errant throws from 3B and 2B ,and Buck plays CF then all the starting pitchers for the Twins should be rejoicing.

    Looks like it is Funderburk and Varland at AAA.

    Ouch. I guess this is why the games are played. Play Ball !
  4. tarheeltwinsfan
    No way. What are the odds?

    Who are you calling "penurious"? Parsimonious, maybe, but penurious? Your mother wears combat boots.

    Reading this train wreck list of players traded by San Diego makes me very grateful for Falvey.

    Good point, except the Twins needed Kep for the pennant race they were in in 2024. How did that work out?

    The Yankees have "owned" the Twins ever since Pedro Ramos left the Senators/Twins. Ramos used to beat the Evil Empire regularly.

    There is a reason a team places a catcher on waivers. Keep both Jeffers and Vasquez. Let's see what the Twins have in Cartaya before 2026.

    OK Your wish is granted. Sincerely, The Good Fairy

    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.
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    I don't understand what you are implying. Can you explain?
  15. tarheeltwinsfan
    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.
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    This would be really good.
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    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.
