  1. The lineup has been remarkably healthy, if the trade deadline comes and some injuries occur you could see him get an opportunity. If Lee or Lewis miss time and Bell and Larnach get moved I could see him get time. Still would have Kodt Clemens to cover 1B He is still behind Gabby Gonzalez and possibly even Fedko as 1B options so there is a lot ahead of him to get an opportunity.
  2. Yes Kriedler as the everyday SS. His bat speed has increased significantly and the defense alone makes up for any bat deficiencies.
  3. If Diaw moves up a level to AA he need to be a catcher or an outfielder not both. You’re hurting his development at both positions if he isn’t a major league catcher at all.
  4. Nice to see aLawyerson starting a rehab assignment. He looked good in ST and the first 2 weeks of the season before injury. Ben Ross continues to hit, he might be the Royce Lewis replacement for the short term. Any update on E Rod? Hope he comes back soon.
  5. I feel we will look back in October and say this weekend was the end of the season. Loss Ryan and Sand. Bullpen bleeds runs with no help coming! Anyone else think this is a 100 loss season?
  6. Not one mention of anything defensively. The Twins have a whole mess of DHs already, we need Mendez at 1B learning the position. we need Olivar and Tait getting every opportunity behind the plate to sharper there skills. It’s nice they hit some balls hard the last week but after watching the 26 Twins defense doesn’t slump or have hot and cold weeks. 1 tool players can be tough to watch.
  7. What is DeBarge out look? Minor league gold glove at 2B, played some SS and CF last season. Is that the plan moving forward or are they better off having him work on an everyday position. 60SB last season and some developing power, could you have a Brian Dozier like accent? Ps I know Dozier never had that kind of speed.
  8. Jeffers will not hold up and be productive at this pace. Even if he is healthy or productive he will get traded at deadline so caratini signing is for coverage and 2027. Our entire current roster doesn’t fit 2026.
  9. Doncon looked good in his ST appearances. Would like to see Diaw or Tait start hot and push themselves into catching at AA. Hill might be a fast mover to AA. If his control is better he might make light work of high A.
  10. You can but you have to dump Larnach!!! Platoon of Outman and Martin in left to start the season. Caratini and Clemens at 1B. You get an Ok Brooks Lee at SS and you Ok defensively.
  11. The hope for a competitive team in the first half I think is pretty well gone. The hope for a 63 win team is starting to dwindle. This bullpen is going to be so bad early in the season they will likely be picking off the waiver wire all season. They might find 1 Hoffman but there going to go thru so many others that completely bust.
  12. I don’t mind any of these move individually but what other options are there? Are we trying to win less the 60 games this season?
  13. I think both can be in the bullpen, Funderburk has been used a lot against righties. I know it’s not ideal to have 4 lefties but there isn’t a 5th righty who’s better at getting righties out than Funderburk. This bullpen is going to be horrible and will put us in line for 100 loss season. Bullpen building has been terrible and we haven’t even had any injuries to it yet. Yikes!!! Going to see a lot of AAA pitching in the majors.
  14. Yes they should be on the phone with ATL right now!!! I would be fine if they got a bag of balls for Larnach at this point. He doesn’t fit on this team and is clogging up the outfield/DH. An actual trade might be for Dave McCabe, 25yr old 3B/1B switch hitter who hit .275 last yr at AAA with some power.
