Could Tony Kemp help at all?

My goodness. I've been paying a lot of money for Comcast in large part for BSN and the Twins. I always thought I'd be safe, but I guess I'm not going to cancel Comcast. Wow.

I took the family to the game last night while we’re in Nashville for Spring Break. We had a great time in spite of the frigid weather. Couple impressions of players from what I saw: Keirsey- best player on the field last night. His AB that resulted in a triple was big time- worked like 7 or 8 pitches til he got what he wanted. He had another one the first baseman was lucky to spear or he would’ve had a second triple. Great speed and athleticism- could definitely see him in the Twins infield if needed. Miranda- looked really good at third. His arm was a cannon- clearly nothing lingering from that shoulder injury. Looked good at the plate too. Fajardo- didn’t do much at the plate, but really nice OF defense including a highlight where he ranged far to his right to catch a ball I didn’t think he could get (and then safely navigated the Sounds’ bullpen and the wall in foul territory) Chris Williams- really nice first base defense. He picked anything thrown his way. Helman- arm seems stretched from Shortstop. I spose he’s just holding that down until Brooks Lee is ready, but his throws came in weak and low to Williams. Tanner Morris- what a nice pickup for Cash from the Blue Jays a couple days ago. Nice approach at the plate and solid play in the field. Dalton Shuffield- the “infielders in the outfield” bit is going to get old quickly as his play left something to be desired out there. Boushley- that was awesome. What a great pickup on a minor league deal for the year. He’ll be quality for the Saints even if he doesn’t help the Twins at all. exciting game. Was great Boyle could finish it out.

The offense needs an upgrade and 1st seems like one of the few spots you could try to accomplish this. Go external and get a veteran bat.

Echoing a lot of what others have said here: I’m sad it’s over, but not really mad about it. The better team won. My 8 year old was crying and I was like “buddy, you got to see the Twins not only win a playoff game but an entire series. It’s been like 20 years of disappointment like this for me and think of how much fun we had watching them all summer. Spring is gonna come and we’ll enjoy em again.”

Whoops. Double post 🙄

How many of us were counting on Stewart being the revelation he’s been this year? 5 innings just means he’s fresh. It’s not like Paddack’s a rookie with only 5 innings in the Bigs. He’s got a track record. Moving him to the pen might’ve unleashed something…

Respectfully, did you see Paddack’s 3 innings at hitter-friendly Coors Field on Saturday? High 90s, worked quick, looked fresh, confident and intimidating. 4Ks. No hits. I can see why he was on the playoff roster.

My 8 year old is beyond excited. He and I made a roster prediction last night and went 26 for 26!

Found it. Appears they need to be finalized by 10am CST tomorrow (Tuesday). Side note- this website is crashing a lot

When will the Twins' final roster be announced?

I never understood why so many people were saying Ryan had locked up the Game 3 start.

I don’t really want any of these guys. Royce and Polanco are on their way back. Outfield is crowded as-is. Buxton might be heating up? Solano’s a professional right handed hitter…

Does anybody know the deadline for signings? When do we start getting worried?

Draft coverage on this site has been phenomenal as usual. Thanks for all the work on it. I will not be thrilled if this is the route the Twins go. If they do this to go under slot and also get Noble Meyer, I guess I’m ok with that, but this feels like getting too cute to pass on one of the top 5. If they pass on those top 5 guys, I’d rather they take a college pitcher. In the Jacob Gonzalez profile thread someone listed the plethora of minor leaguers the Twins have who are similar to this guy. Seems redundant to what we have. Go pitching…
