  1. Camargo making a statement to join the big league team by hitting into that DP...
  2. Lopez managed to work his way out of a really big inning, let's see the how/if the bats reply.
  3. To pick 3: Miranda, Julien & Larnach, simply because their collective careers are depending on not only a hot start, but an entire season of good hitting. Based on positional needs: Julien, Martin and Lee at 2B - Keaschel, (and to an extent Eeles, though he is not at MLB ST) is knocking on the door with Culpepper right behind him. All three may not break camp with the team, Lee is out playing Martin right now, and Martin may be considered more of an OF these days anyway. All three have options though and can get reps in AAA.
  4. Jeffers caught 83 games last year with a slash line of .232/.314/.451 (.756 OPS) 17 HR, 48 RBI and 52/26 K/BB. As a DH, usually meaning he played two days in a row, but without the stress of catching, he played 34 games with a slash line of .207/.262/.378 (.641 OPS) 4 HR, 16 RBI and 42/6 K/BB. Doesn't seem to me like he can play 2 out of every 3 games effectively.
  5. At this moment, Vazquez is worth more on the roster than the return he brings in a trade. Jeffers has not proven he can catch 2 of every 3 games without tiring/breaking down, and with Camargo or Cartaya as the back-up catcher, that's what he would have to do.
  6. He was also called out on strikes twice, that still concerns me even if it is spring training
  7. Since Rocco has stated that Bader is going to be get a lot of time in LF, is the 4th OF Larnach, Castro or Martin? None of those three is better defensively than Buxton.
  8. Need more than just Julien's development as I just watched the "same ol' Twins"....2 on, nobody out against Chapman.....K, double steal of 3B & 2B, K, 2-out sac fly to CF. This is the time of year to work on getting those runners in...
  9. This!! The Twins faced a LHP starter in 46 games last year and at least one LHP in 128 games - LH batters had 194 PAs against those LHP (TB, Rocco's bar-setting former team, was next lowest at 222 PAs by LHB against LHP). 6 Twins LHB had PAs against LHP: Kepler - 82 PA; .273/.305/.416 (.721 OPS) 2 HR, 10 RBI, 19/2 K/BB, 2 HBP Wallner - 44 PA; .184/.295/.316 (.611 OPS) 1 HR, 3 RBI, 21/5 K/BB, 1 HBP Julien - 33 PA; .172/.273/.310 (.583) 1 HR, 1 RBI, 14/3 K/BB, 1 HBP Larnach - 23 PA; .227/.261/.318 (.579 OPS) 0 HR, 1 RBI, 7/0 K/BB, 1 HBP Kirilloff - 8 PA; .167/.250/.167 (.417 OPS) 0 HR, 1 RBI, 0/0 K/BB, 1 HBP Keirsey - 4 PA; .000/.000/.000 (.000 OPS) 0 HR, 0 RBI 0/0 K/BB, 0 HBP
  10. Julien attributes his sophomore slump to changes he made to his swing before the 2024 season that left him especially vulnerable to offspeed pitches Changes to his swing? He didn't swing, that was the problem.
  11. Says more about the team than the player...
  12. Concerning the TJ injury, Atteberry and Gladden stated that Keaschal is working with the teams pitching coaches and medical staff to get a consistent arm slot and acquire better throwing habits. Rehabbing a "pitchers" injury as a pitcher would can't be a bad thing, right?
  13. Canterino pitched in a game for the first time since 2022, that in itself is a big story. Mixed results for sure, but let's see how he pitches going forward before we judge.
  14. I also remember him dropping at least one soft "line drive," but I don't remember if it turned into a big inning or not...
  15. Very easy for the team to write off/walk away from a $1 MM contract if it comes down to it, let's hope they don't wreck the season before doing so.
  16. Not a fan of handing a job this early in ST to a guy who is most likely on the decline, unless it's a ploy to push Miranda and/or Julien.
  17. Next ex-Twin to the South side... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/02/white-sox-sign-joey-gallo-to-minor-league-deal.html
  18. Our dear old friend MAT... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/02/white-sox-to-sign-michael-a-taylor.html
  19. Looked to me like Mahomes crossed the line of scrimmage on that under-hand pass, but since no replay challenge I guess he was good...
  20. The Who, 2010....change my mind!!
  21. Was going to say the same thing....
  22. Mahomes was also involved in the last Super Bowl blowout.... losing 31-9 to Brady in SB 55
  23. Really famous...
