Saints Setting Up for Loaded Rotation
High heat replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Wow really!? 5 legit mlb prospect a few with some nice mov inning already on the starting staff and a lineup with Larnach, and Martin Harris and Tyler white. Michael Helmen put up good AAA numbers last yr as well. I have a feeling the Saints early on will be very good and exciting team to watch.- 31 replies

With Lux going out for the season would the Dodgers have interest and what would they be willing to give up for Farmer or Gordon. If you could capitalize on selling Gordon as a SS with the production he had a year ago and the years on control left could he bring in a solid prospect or 2? View full rumor

One Twins Power Prospect Still Waiting to Breakout
High heat replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Hinge sight is always 20/20 on these guys. If you draft 1 or 2 tool plays and one or both of those tools isn’t elite you don’t have a guy who ever makes it. He put up elite college # with the bat and he is a big strong guy it just hasn’t translated. hoping something clicks this season and he becomes valued in 2023. -
What Does Donovan Solano Mean for the Twins
High heat replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Well because other teams see the ascending in Gordon as well. Cheap and multiple years of team control is tradable to many small market and rebuilding teams. If the Twins see Gordon as just a 4th outfielder you have a bunch of LH hitting COF and a replacement CF already on the roster. Good business to sell on him now and bring in a solid reliever. I am totally puzzled by the deal and brainstorming how it makes sense.- 61 replies

What Does Donovan Solano Mean for the Twins
High heat replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
For this to be a major league deal there must be a major injury announcement coming to Polanco or Kirilloff or Nick Gordon. Or Nick Gordon is being traded. With the last 2 additions (Taylor in CF and Solano) Gordon playing time has been replaced. Maybe Gordon has some value around the league and is being shopped.- 61 replies

Twins Add Infield Depth, Sign Veteran Donovan Solano
High heat replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
This tells me Kirilloff is hurt and not ready for the season or that Nick Gordon is either being traded or not seen as a viable infield option at any spot in the infield. -
I believe Gallo is going to have a giant season. The no shift pull happy Gallo helps his average tremendously ad he can just focus on hitting the ball hard. Which will help him between the ears. boy I hope Jorge Lopez isn’t that bad. Gave up a lot for him that’s worst the the Matt Capp trade yr ago

Can Nick Gordon Handle Third Base?
High heat replied to Ted Wiedmann's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
No Nick Gordon at 3B!!! If Miranda goes down bring up Julian to play everyday. Otherwise Farmer can take all the reps at 3B if Miranda needs a day off. -
Twins Daily 2023 Top Prospects: #5 Edouard Julien, 2B
High heat replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
I am on the give him a position and let him get comfortable bandwagon. LF or 1B is probably it. If I was the Twins Larnach would be on the trade block and Julian would be n Lf full time at St. Paul. -
Not sure it’s allowed or not but can you sign a guy to a minor league deal and in the case of making the big league roster you make a large few million dollar deal? would let the twins keep the 40 man spot until guys can be put in 60 day IL and if he is healthy can make a significant impact in the bullpen.

Always love the prospect write ups!! as far as this honorable mentioned list goes I’m surprised Michael Helman didn’t get a chance last season when all the injuries happened. I think his speed and super utility will give him a big league opportunity. Chris Williams has a nice bat if he was a decent catcher but playing only a few game behind the plate and less and less each season likely means he isn’t even seen as a big league option. Hope Isola doesn’t go down the same route.

Wait wait wait. I understand not comparing a major league batting champ to AA player but saying Julian hasn’t hit much is ridiculous!!! He hit .300 with a .440 OBP in over 500 PA and in the AFL were close to MLB players and top prospects hit .400 with a .550 OBP!!! Those are pretty amazing numbers even if you think they don’t directly translate the kid can hit.

2023 Prospect Previews: Connor Prielipp
High heat replied to Jamie Cameron's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
You have to buy lotto tickets to win! By all accounts he has ace stuff and I like the fact that he has already had TJ surgery and has rehabbed at a big university and now the MLB clock starts. I hope the twins and keep him healthy going forward and can have a good productive year in the minors. At 22 and if healthy he can be a fast mover through the system. Will be my favorite follow in the minors this year. -
I haven’t seen enough of Julien to see if the walks and plate discipline will transfer to MLB. I am excited to see him first hand in St. Paul and hopefully get a better judgement going forward. I think most are right though that Kiriloff is a better comparison for a Arraez replacement. I hope the fact that they moved him is a signed that Kiriloff is finally healthy and ready to product.

Evaluating the Prospects in the Arraez/López Trade
High heat replied to Jamie Cameron's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
I understand why they moved Arraez, I really liked him but I understand it. Not a huge Pablo López fan and would have liked Dax Fulton instead as a prospect. Salas is an intriguing prospect as well as the Chourio kid has some tools.- 27 replies

How Does the Twins Outfield Get Sorted?
High heat replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
The 2 catchers doesn’t matter because as soon as the season starts Lewis and Paddock go on the 60 day DL and we have 2 open 40 man spots. Tony Walters is a very solid 3rd catcher on a minor league deal!- 48 replies

How Does the Twins Outfield Get Sorted?
High heat replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
If there is interest in Celestino and Larnach as trade pieces with significant more value then Kepler I would be ok moving them. Celestino got the raw deal on development. Needs time in AAA or everyday ABs. with the addition of Correa I’d guess Lewis becomes the CF, LF future option once he recovers. Also the organizations thought on Martin. If he is a suitable CF option. Celestino seems to be getting passed by high level prospects very quickly. Get value for him now if there are suitors. Larnach is another lefty bat that is very solid but has trouble with health and really doesn’t play good defense. He would be ok to move to get a significant pitching piece.- 48 replies

Twins Announce Spring Training Non-Roster Invitees
High heat replied to Matt Braun's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I’m interested in seeing a lot of inning from Martin all over the Diamond defensively. Sisk is very intriguing!! There has to be a reason he hasn’t gotten an opportunity he has put up eye popping number in the minors is he just another Anthony Slama? So glad they snuck Blake Enlow through waivers. He needs a solid healthy minor league season to see where he is at.- 17 replies

Are the Twins Frontrunners for Carlos Correa?
High heat replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
That 270 over 9 yrs seems about right. Even giving him an opt out after 3 yrs. That comes out as 30 mi per yr. Twins should be comfortable with his health and should already have his physical and aware of such rod in his ankle. They should have known about it before signing the last deal even if it didn’t scare them off because it was only a 3 yr deal.- 61 replies

I get that power is desirable and helps drive in runs but it is one way to drive in runs and one way to win games. My argument is if you have 4 of the 5 tools you can still be a productive and valuable player to a winning team. I just hope you are a big Joey Gallo fan! Power and OBP that’s his game!

I totally understand hitting for power is super valueable and combining power with OBP and good defense is great. But not everyone is 6’8 and 280lbs and very few players can do that. Think of how much better the Yankees would have been last year if they had a guy who hit in front of Judge who had a .400 obs and could steal bases!

I don’t understand why “ having a position” and developing power is so important! Does Arraez have value? Does Whit Merrifield have value? If Martin can be a guy who can fill in at 3B and 2B along with the 3 outfield spots. Can get on base with good ABs and steal bases (something that is much needed on the twins and from Rocco to let them run) I just see lots of value there in those skills. I know those skills aren’t sexy and so top prospect status falls off.
