    Nice to have a good month and a half at AAA, hopefully the power isn’t a mirage. The Twins turn out second baseman like butter. Maybe another team sees him as a spencer steers and he is a good piece to move at the deadline.
  2. High heat
    I believe there contact is up with Ballys after the 2023 season. I sure hope they dont even bother negotiating with them on the next deal. if baseball doesnt want to die they better require any network broadcasting game to offer it on a streaming platform.

    He is who we thought he would be!!!!! (Denny Green telling voice).
  4. High heat
    We’ll have to see where we are at in another month health wise standing wise and production wise. Right now as we look and stand I wouldn’t buy a thing and would likely offer a few pieces if teams are looking to take. Maybe in another month you can see what’s in the middle relief availability and spend a low values prospect but a floundering team around .500 doesn’t warrant any series spending.

    If his legs are feeling good and he is ready to run give him the green light!!! This team I’m not hitting with runners on and is striking out way to much need to find a way to generate offense and stealing bases might be it.
  6. High heat
    I really like Juliens bat and plate discipline is very hard to teach, being more aggressive could help him. He is not Arraez with the eye and contact ability. He is a butcher at 2B, he can’t plays there in his current state long term. With 1B and DH covered I could really see Julien as the big trade piece at the deadline. Now I wouldn’t move him unless it was for a major piece but his bat might be something that moves the needle.
  7. High heat
    I think a left fielder or CFer bat are out only real options. If you feel comfortable moving Kiriloff off first and to LF that could work. they need a back end of the bullpen since Jorge Lopez is so Jekyll and hide. Other than that the guys on the roster just need to play better.
  8. High heat
    I really liked Arraez and he brought in great value in a trade. I really like Juliens bat but I don’t think it is in the same class as Arraez. Like it or not Buxton is or DH going forward and is signed for 5 more yrs. Even if legs get healthy he will be there 50/50 for health management. I see Julien tied to Miranda. Both limited defensively but have good bats. To me Miranda is passable at 3B Julien is not at 2B. Miranda’s value has plummeted where Juliens is at a high.
  9. High heat
    I really like his bat but he can’t play long term at 2B. If I’m the Twins I’m looking to use Julien as a trade piece come July. Hoping you can sell him as a full time 2B and he’s just blocked by Polanco.
  10. High heat
    A 23 yr old who by all accounts is solid to good defensively as a catcher. Now the bat appears to be showing so power. If he can add some more contact he may be a solid catcher. I would guess he is a 40 man add this off-season unless the bat falls off the rest of the way!!! He isn’t much of an option in 2023 unless both Jeffers and Vasquez go down.
  11. High heat
    This game is what bad teams do and is an example of where we are. Up 5 runs and lets teams hang around, don’t make plays defensively to give extra outs. Then keep throwing out the same veterans because you signed them and are unwilling to pivot and cut bait when it doesn’t work out. You just can’t keep giving Pagan inning that matter in any situation. You just knew today that it was going to end badly. Was like staring at a burning fuse heading to a stick of TNT!!!

    I think health wise Buxton can’t play CF. Not that he can’t get up and go but watching him stop and after he gets up and goes he is in obvious pain. He either needs a IL stint and a reevaluation of his injury and treatment or worst case he is now our DH for the next 6 yrs. I truly believe he will be a DH only until late August early September. If the Twins are in contention they will give him a cordazone shot in the knee and work him back into CF the last 4 to 6 weeks and have him grind it out through the playoffs as the CFer. The fix in the mean time is the twins need to tell Kepler if he wants to stay on this team he needs to get his at bats in CF. Kepler and Taylor split time in CF opening RF.
  13. High heat
    Hoping Vasquez can turn it around a bit but the numbers are very troubling. The issue is the Twins haven’t drafted or developed Catchers and you have no other options passed signing one to a longer term deal this last offseason. I was a Big Ben Rortvedt fan but he hasn’t been able to stay healthy. Thought he was a perfect paring with Jeffers as he was great defensively and a LH bat. Looks like they moved off Garver as well at the perfect time. Both those trades were wins for the Twins overall. I do hope the Jeffers and Vasquez playing time flips now and Jeffers gets the 60% of the starts and Vasquez takes the latter. Jeffers has looked like the guy with the bat and has looked really improved defensively behind the plate.
  14. High heat
    Buxton is at the top of the list if the knee is now completely shot and he is a DH for the remainder of his careeer. Correa will turn it around and hit fine not worried. Can I add Kepler to this list? I thought with the shift ball his approach would go back to trying to pull the ball hard and more balls would be hits and HRs. I guess I drank too much of that koolaid. Miranda I was never sold in last season I figured there was going to be a sophomore slump but after the big spring training I was starting to come around. Mahle might work out if they can sign him long term for I big discount now that’s he is going through TJ.
  15. High heat
    Hine sight yes they should have. I thinking they thought they had more in guys like Ronny Hernandez and Sand and Winder and an opening for those options rather then making them kick down the door. Pagans 3.5 million was a complete waste and I think we all knew that going into the season. What they keep seeing in him is beyond me.
  16. High heat
    Gotta leave him in the rotation as a rotation arm for the rest of the year. Easy to translate to a bullpen arm if needed. With rotation injuries the depth has been eaten up already. SWR velocity keeps falling not sure he’s going to be effective in MLB at 90 mph with his fastball. I do t want to see Aaron Sanchez again and Hendricks doesn’t impress me.
  17. High heat
    This article didn’t age well. 7 shutout innings tonight. Health is an issue and I wouldn’t sign him to a long term extension but he seems to give you a chance to win every time he pitches. Might he break down later in the season and not have a long sustained career maybe. Let the good times role and get what you can out of him. Not that adjustment aren’t needed but what he’s been doing works for him.
  18. High heat
    He’s a guy who needs to be sent down and then shopped at the trade deadline. He had all this trade value going into the season and think they could have got something for him. He reminds me of a guess hitter like Jason Kubel but when he guesses right he doesn’t hit bombs! I hate guys with “power potential” based on body type but never show it before getting the big league call. Then we are so surprised when they don’t hit for power in the majors. Realistically you have a week or two to figure this out before both Kirilloff and Wallner kick down the door
  19. High heat
    Need 2 games a week from Buxton in CF and 2 games a week from Gallo in CF and 2 from Taylor. you can still do the defensive substitutions late in games to get Taylor in CF.
  20. High heat
    With all the off-season to many outfielders need to trade one!! it took till April 14 to see an outfield of Taylor Garlick and Willie Castro!!! Now Taylor has been great this far! Castro has been good and Garlick has always been able to mash lefties and if he only played against them he is great!
  21. High heat
    I like the strategy of using Durán late in games against the tough part of the order. If that’s the 7th 8th or 9th I don’t care. Then using López or Jax as the traditional 9th inning guy to end the game. If we do t have a 5 run lead or more I’m not comfortable seeing Pagán!!
  22. High heat
    His pitch mix sounds a lot like a few other very solid Twins relievers who were failed starters. Jax and Duffey. To me he seems much more like a RH Glen Perkins. If that fastball can tick up in the bullpen and he can rely that big sweeper and split he can be very valuable out of the pen.
  23. High heat
    Wait you left out Austin Martin who stole 35 bases at AA last yr and another 10 in the AFL. You also left Michael Helman off who stole 40 last yr at AAA.
  24. High heat
    Hoffman makes it as the long man who will likely be up and down multiple times this season. the position player part is more difficult. If Polanco and Kirilloff are out more then the first week or 10 days OR I’d Miranda still can’t play 3B then Castro makes the team. If they just need a guy to fill in and add insurance and may not even play it could be White or Garlick.
  25. High heat
    The biggest impact and potential on the lineup starts here. If Miranda has to move to 1B his value plummets. The difference between finding a 3B bat and finding a 1B bat is huge. It also allows Kirilloff to play everyday at 1B. If this Twins team is going to be any good they are going to need Kirilloff healthy and productive and Miranda to play as well offensively as he did in 22.
