    No there is not, the closes thing is probably Jair Camargo. Carson McCusker is there best hitter but is 28 and an Indy ball signing. He should be playing first base though.
  2. High heat
    Jeffers lack of back speed was evident yesterday. He hit that hanging breaking ball well (double) and on every other year would have been 5 rows deep instead it should have been an out. Vazquez is passed being cooked. Camargo should get a run in the big leagues and replace him. Atleast Camargo will run into one once in a while for a HR. He will absolutely hit better then .100 with zero power.
  3. High heat
    I haven’t looked to closely but has McCusker played any 1B this yr for the Saints?
  4. High heat
    Probably should start calling on some trade partners. Larnach, Ryan, Ober, Lewis, Castro, Bader, France. Jax, Duran, Alcala all should be assasing trade value. That 1.7 Billion they are asking for the team value might be dropping real quick!!!
  5. High heat
    They could have used Michael Helman right now! And moved Canterino to the 60 day DL instead of selling Helman at the time.
  6. High heat
    Boy this new approach for Larnach looks terrible! No power and just slapping balls the other way. Does he think he is Joe Mauer now? Wallner takes big cuts atleast before he gets to 2 strikes and the he appears to adopt that philosophy. Im not sure Keachell or ERod will be ready before June and usually rookies struggle early. At this pace we might be out of it by June tho. I would really like to see Camargo get a shot behind the plate. The Vazquez at bats have gone on to long.
  7. High heat
    Let’s face it there isn’t a huge difference between a 85 win team and a 90 loss team but a few injuries and bounces here or there. This team looks lifeless and defeated at the first single of adversity. The bullpen isn’t as good as it was advertised and neither is the rotation and the hitters look as advertised ( not that good) Sell the assets and the team and here comes a 5+ yr rebuild.
  8. High heat
    Well Festa started opening day for the saints and didn’t give up any runs. Not a bad start to the season.
  9. High heat
    Probably a prisoner of the ST game Gasper had today (the few that have been available on TV). but does Gasper have a chance to be the last guy in the bench? Spell France at 1B and allow you to pinch hit Gasper for Vazquez late in game and Gasper can finish behind the plate. He would be at an interesting chest piece.
  10. High heat
    In the Monday 2 inning game Wallner hit a long foul ball and then a ball deep to the wall in RF for an out. And Lewis hit a laser to LF for a HR. Better to hit in ST than not.
  11. High heat
    The things he doesn’t do well defensively are much limited at 1B. He has a poor arm, he struggles with the transfer and has at best average range at 2B. You dont have to make many throws at 1B and range is a step and a dive either direction. I actually think he would be ok to good defensively at 1B. Julien is similar to Jeff Kent defensively.
  12. High heat
    I don’t think Julien getting back to ‘23 form is out of the question. He did not adjust last season and the power disappeared. I think an adjustment to being more aggressive early in counts and looking for pitches to drive. (Some Jason Kubel guess swings is ok). A lot of that comes down to coaching and implementing a plan. Defensively The Twins need to move Julien to 1B. The Twins have some really good options at 2B going forward and Julien will never be a good defender there. Move Julien to 1B let him learn the footwork and movement needed for 1B and removes his biggest weakness at 2B his arm.
  13. High heat
    His low 3/4 delivery (almost sidearm) with good deception makes me think reliever in the future. Seems like a guys who could focus on 3 pitches but Keep trotting him out as a starter till it doesn’t work.
  14. High heat
    No Will Holland on the list? They were looking for a back up SS, he has been a solid defensive SS at AAA and actually hit .300 last season with speed and the ability to fill in the outfield. Could see injuries and him get a MLB opportunity
  15. High heat
    The Saints might have the most excited roster in town!!! Could possibly have C. Camargo 1B Julien 2B Keaschell SS Holland OF ERod, Kiersey, MCCusker
  16. High heat
    The die hard Twins fans want to see a winning team. These moves don’t help us or even could possibly hinder us in this hat quest. The Twins organization wants to not be a losing team. If you hover around 80 to 90 wins your competitive all summer, people come to the ball park spend some money and the twins keep the little engine running. These moves set a floor. If you relied on Buxton staying healthy all season and he missed giant chunks and we have to see a rotation of Martins bad defense and Keirey looking like Vasquez at the plate. You rely on Miranda and Julien at 1B and they are both fumbling throws and out of position or hitting like they did in August and September.
  17. High heat
    I stand corrected! I thought France had experience in LF, looks like just a 1B/DH option.
  18. High heat
    I figured they would make some move for a player with 1B experience I thought it was going to be Rizzo but France makes sense if Miranda looks good and can offer help as a RH LF as well. Hard to just give 1B over to young guys who haven’t played the position much at any level. A lot of little things to learn and prefect and could be a disaster.
  19. High heat
    Jenkins is the only one at this point if you can get a Longoria type deal. Lewis will never sign being already arb eligible and he’s had major injuries and often in available. We don’t know if he can even hit for extended periods of time. You have Pablo and Correa and a few other core pieces under team control. A good future appears ahead assuming continued development and health
  20. High heat
    Excited to see how Cory Lewis looks and for a few knuckleballs to get unleashed on some MLB hitters. The May Saints roster might be a very interesting watch. Are they going to be on45 TV again once in a while?
  21. High heat
    When you have a bunch of players who taking poor at bats and playing sloppy defense it causes team wide snowballs like we saw in August and September. I don’t think Rizzo is sexy or has much upside at this point but the down side is a terribly feelings firstbaseman and bad at bats
  22. High heat
    How confident are you and the Twins in Miranda’s defense at 1B as well as staying healthy and productive. Miranda’s bat was terrible the second half (after that 13 for 13 streak). The power evaporated. I think they are going to bring in Rizzo to give a good defender there as well as a platoon bat option. He provides a baseline of good professional at bats and solid defense. Could keep this year from completely derailing and being a complete disaster. No market for him so 2 or 3 million hopefully get it done
  23. High heat
    When you are a 1 tool player you need to stay healthy and max out that effective 1 tool. The breaking ball adjustment needs to occur and recognizing and doing damage to them is key. While laying off them when they are off the plate. we’ll see what 25 brings at AA.
  24. High heat
    Excellent analysis!!! Im not a big Keirsey fan for this team because he hits left handed and doesn’t offer a replacement in game in the corner OF. I was not impressed by Martin with the bat and with the glove. Him getting sent down late in the yr was a reflection of that. I was a big Michael Helman fan because he can play adequate defense everywhere both infield and OF. (Similar to Castro defensively) I hope that means they are keeping Castro. Bader offers CF insurance along with a RH platoon and an in game pinch hitter/runner and defensive replacement for Wallner and or Larnach. The versatility over the other 3 and coverage for multiple positions and scenarios was why he made the most sense and the most $. Team has to get better defensively and stealing and taking the extra base in critical situations.
  25. High heat
    He is a great story and happy to see him in St. Paul. When you’re limited to 2B he can’t really come up and help break through in a utility role. Lots of injuries or complete failures ahead of him would need to occur. Im more excited about Will Hollland now that Helman is gone. As a better defender and much more versitile along with more speed. If he can hit .300 again in AAA he might get a shot to replace Castro.
