    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.

    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...

    Mahomes was also involved in the last Super Bowl blowout.... losing 31-9 to Brady in SB 55

    Castro ranked 6th on the team in PAs as an OF with 202 (behind Martin (208), ahead of Wallner (196)!!). Castro ranked 1st on the team in overall PAs with 635. Castro ranked 1st on the team as IF outside 1B (433), but PAs were spread across 3 positions, 5 counting PH (4) and P (1). These break down as 145 at 2B, behind only Julien (279), 224 at SS, behind only Correa (361), and 59 at 3B, behind Miranda (292) and Lewis (59). These numbers show that he is exactly the definition of a utility player and why I have no problem if the team pencils him everyday at 2B until May 1 with a couple days of subbing in for Correa, allowing Bader to spell Larnach and/or Buxton as needed, until one of Lee, Keaschel or Julien is ready.

    Lewis looking a little leaner this spring, hopeful that his hard work pays off on the diamond.

    Castro is valuable right now because the team can pencil him at 2B everyday in March and April. Come May 1, whichever of Lee, Keuschel, or Julien is having the better season at AAA should be called up and inserted at 2B. If the team deems Castro a better SS/COF option than Martin (spring training will be the real tell, not TD opinions in February) than Martin can fill in at 2B with Castro relieving whoever needs the day off (he can play SS for one game with the fly-ball heavy Twins rotation). While a game or two of Castro at 1B is ok, placing him there everyday is a waste of his versatility. However, he should not play more than 120-125 games, barring injury.

    A little Bader highlight.... https://www.mlb.com/mets/video/tylor-megill-in-play-no-out-to-nick-senzel?q=bader error&cp=MIXED&qt=FREETEXT&p=0

    Helman to STL for $$
  16. mnfireman
    No need for either of them, I am confident in Correa playing 140-145 games, Lee can cover the other 15-20 games.

    TD on a roll today, Julien provides a potent left-handed bat. That potent bat doesn't leave his shoulder....

    We just had one....

    You lost me when you called Manuel Margot a high-end defensive CF....
  20. mnfireman
    If Emma and Keaschel are tearing up AAA on May 15 and can't get called up because Bader is on the roster that is roster mismanagement. And nothing builds a player's confidence more than telling him he can't and probably never will hit same sided pitching and signing a guy to take those PAs (Larnach & Wallner). Having said both those things, I don't mind the signing, but in terms of player development and future roster construction, it was probably unnecessary.

    Sorry dreamers.... https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/pete-alonso-re-signs-with-mets-all-star-slugger-agrees-to-two-year-54-million-deal-per-report/

    Unfortunately that player doesn't exist....

    Signing a left-handed RP and a right-handed OF check a couple boxes, but also leads me to believe the team might be close to acquiring Cease. The team needs to open up 2 spots on the 40-man, and some sort of 3 for Cease and a minor leaguer(?) could be close and would fill the 40-man without trying to sneak somebody through waivers. I think it is depending on MN being able to SD off of Ryan/Ober and onto one of Zebby/SWR/Festa (hoping not Festa).

    Didn't think politics was allowed - even if satirical....

    Concerning 100 runs scored and 100 RBI, last season the Twins lead-off spot scored 102 runs, the number 2 spot scored 99 runs, and the number 3 spot scored 98 runs; no other spot in the line-up scored more than 79 runs. The number 2 spot had 101 RBI and the number 3 spot had 99 RBI; no other spot in the line-up had more than 84 RBI. Expecting one player on this team, given this manager's propensity to platoon and adjust the line-up based on pitcher handedness, to have either is a pipe dream. And yes, I do realize that injuries may have stopped some players from coming close to one or the other (Correa was actually on pace to do both).
