Excellent take! Whether he starts game one in St. Paul, he has front of the rotation potential. Outside of Taj Bradley, I don't see that upside in our young hurlers. It will be fun to watch develope.

Harmon Killebrew was 5'11"..............

Basestealing isn't just about speed. Look at what Josh Naylor did last year. Obviously speed helps, but I remember Greg Gagne whose first to third speed was great, but never was a stealer of bases. GG's bat to ball skills are impressive for such a young hitter. Not quite Luis Arraez, but very good.
-
Excellent analysis! It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.
-
Littell is a solid "innings-eater" and would stabilize a rotation that will feature a lot of 5ish inning starts.
-
If Byron does get injured, then you can bring up Emma. I would bet the farm OUTman passes through waivers. His AB's were not just bad they were brutal.
-
Low expectations is a fun place to be. If Dodgers win 105, 57 times their fan base goes to bed in a bad mood. And if they get bounced in the playoffs....oy.....they will be jumping off bridges.
-
Abel is building off a great start over his last start against his old team. Very impressive.
-
Hard to say someone 22 years-old is in a make or break year. Perhaps if were 26 that would certainly put him in "Make-or-break" territory.
-
Only if the offer is just too good to take. Wait until a team with realistic hopes of contending overpays.
-
As a fan, going into a season rooting for a team with very low expectations is great. A .500 season with emerging young players is much better than being a Yankee fan with a bloated payroll, high expectations and not winning it all. I've been watching baseball for 75 years now and seen some bad baseball and good baseball and it still captivates me. Hope springs eternal and with so many new faces on the field and off it is time to PLAY BALL!

Why the Twins Shouldn't Replace Pablo Lopez
Senior Softball Guy replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Zack Littell is the definition of a "innings eater". Not sexy, but would be helpful to a staff of "5 inning" guys. I never understood why thet let him go in the first place.- 39 replies

Inside the Twins Outfield Pipeline
Senior Softball Guy replied to Cory Moen's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Ka'lai Rosario was voted MVP in the Midwest League and was close to the MVP at Wichita last year. Apparently, he made impression on someone. I do agree that the team needs to "86" some of these players to shine. The Saints will be exciting to see this year.- 13 replies

He could be a low rent, dollar store Shohei Ohtani!
-
I thought the same thing. What do the O's do with an excess of right handed first basemen.
-
We had no chance of beating the White Sox to the #1 pick when the Pope is a Sox fan. A very unfair advantage.
-
I totally agree with SWR leapfrogging Ober in the rotation. I think Ober is getting into "prove-it" territory, especially with the young guns lining up behind him.

Being a baseball fan is never easy. The very best team's fan base goes home at least 62 times disappointed, they kick their furniture (Please don't kick the dog). Baseball is about the stories (IMHO), winning and losing, that's why you're a fan. Winning a World Series is a wonderful story and those of us who have experienced it will cherish it, but I still cherish La Tortuga chugging around 3rd base just as much. See you at the park!

Excellent point about the chance for a high draft pick. At a crucial point you have to make tough decisions. I, for one, will not miss Correa's GIDPs.
-
You want entertainment? The return of La Tortuga!
-
Tear the whole thing down. Create a new league with a $500,000 salary cap. The Ohtanis and Judges won't play for that and the talent level would decline, but soon enough you will always fill the rosters with young athletes willing to play baseball for $100,000. When the super payed stars get tired of sitting around the house and coaching the little leaguers they will come back. I love watching players playing for the love of the game.
-
Don't forget Javy Baez went from, "Where do we play this gut", swinging at pitches headed for the Detroit River to having his first solid offensive year in awhile.
-
Our new hitting coach turned Javy Baez' career around so there is hope.
-
I heard him on that interview and was also impressed. Of course, winning will make us love or dislike him.So far...so good.

Twins Add Grady Sizemore to Coaching Staff
Senior Softball Guy replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
We will miss Tommy Watkins personality but not so much his third base coaching. It sounds encouraging that Sizemore is added. Looks like they are fully committed to the aggressive running game. With the expected departure of Larnach and, perhaps a more limited role for Wallner, the outfield could be upgraded in terms of speed and defense. Encouraging first steps to an interesting off season for the Twins.- 23 replies
