    Patrick Winkel and Chris Williams. Both can’t pass defensively in the majors. Williams has a much better bat at AAA especially in 2023.
  2. High heat
    If the Twins view him as a legit catcher he needed to be added. If they view him as a hitter who can catch no need to add him they have 2 of those at AAA.
  3. High heat
    Did you watch the last 2 months? No power and very week contact Not to mention the defense at 1B.
  4. High heat
    Yes he is a solid veteran option. If he is reasonably priced and is much better than anyone we currently have in our roster. Im guessing he is going to get more $ than the Twins are willing to spend.
  5. High heat
    I think Durán and Alcala get traded. (Saves still get you paid in Arb) Lot of the fridge guys get let go off the 40 man (Winder Henriquez, blewettmaybe Topa) They are going to do the same thing they did the last few yrs and throw **** at the wall and see what sticks. You are hoping Varland transfer to the BP like Jax, Stewart stays healthy and one or two of the bullpen projects are a success.
  6. High heat
    At this point who cares if they limp into the payoffs as the 3rd wild card and get boat racked in two wild card games! They have to figure some thing out here and personally I think they have used up all there bullets. You didn’t go get arms at the deadline and injuries and cold bats sunk the season.
  7. High heat
    Boy I hope not! Let him get sometime at AAA, with all the time he missed maybe even play in the AFL. Can he play if he is on the 40 man roster already? I don’t know. This roster is going to have to sink or swim here the last few weeks and bringing up another rookie isn’t going to help. I like E rods upside and would be a nice Kepler replace sometime next season.
  8. High heat
    I’ve been a Michael Helman fan! I think he can fill the Margot/Farmer role for this yr and into next year. If Twins are in deed cutting more salary a league minimum guy who fills both roles saves you 10 million and opens a bench spot. By all accounts he is a passible major league SS and CFer. Which should make him atleast a solid 2B and LF as well.
  9. High heat
    I was thinking the same thing but can 40 man players go the AFL? Get healthy and get a last month of ball in at the very least.
  10. High heat
    I know Jorge Polanco has been terrible this season and we have Topa for another season but sure hope Gonzalez can turn a corner next season otherwise that was just a terrible trade for the twins. I wonder where Brandon Winokur lands in offseason prospect rankings. He might be a big helium prospect guy in 2025. 6’6 and plays up the middle position with speed and power.
  11. High heat
    Would Tigers trade Spencer Torkelson straight up for Kiriloff? 2 struggling 1B who have kid of worn out there welcome in there current organization.
  12. High heat
    Going to have to see if he has enough versatility to effectively play the corner OF. Being a poor fielding 1B with a bat im not sure translates to the MLB i think he likely get DFAed this offseason. Maybe he has a big last month and changes that.
  13. High heat
    I think you’ll see Varland continue to start for 2 more weeks. If mid August you either have Paddack back or SWR and Festa are still rolling he will transition to the bullpen ( for good hopefully) and be ready to join the bullpen for September when rosters expand.
  14. High heat
    Cory Lewis piggy backing at AA behind Raya really makes me nervous. I know Lewis was hurt for most of the first half but has he fallen that far out of the organizations view or was this just a way to get two guys in knowing they want them to only throw 4 innings. I was hoping Lewis was goin to progress this yr and the knuckles would make a MLB return.
  15. High heat
    I hope other teams believe Marco Raya is as valuable as you!!! He is the guy I would build any deal around would be amazing if Raya and Gonzolez could get you a controllable starter.
  16. High heat
    He should spend the rest of the yr starting at AAA. He is the only guy in the system with top of the rotation stuff. For service time purposes he should be kept at AAA for the season and to start next yr. If he puts up similar #s he has a spot in May ‘25 If you wanna bullpen arm starters you have Varland and Festa. We already know Varland can do it and Festa looked good both starts the first time though the line up.
  17. High heat
    I like Tyler Rogers if Giants fall apart, I also like the idea of Ashcroft if the Twins see a tweak or two they can make to get more results a mix of both Ryan and Ober. we will see where we are at in a month and where some of these teams are at.
  18. High heat
    Very nice to see Sabato putting it together. He isn’t dead in the water yet! Would like to see the Twins move Severino (much younger and much more sustained MILB success, much more value). Then can give Sabato the call to AAA and see if it all continues.
  19. High heat
    Mackenzie Gore would be a great target and get. I would be ok giving up Lee for a starter with yrs of control left like Gore.
  20. High heat
    I think the only one that makes sense is Michael Kopech if the Twins see something they can tweak. Robert’s is great when healthy but Sox aren’t trading him to us. Crochet has been awesome for 2 1/2 months but my goodness what you would have to pay to get him, I’m not sure that’s an option. Is Sheets any better then Wallner or Larnach? I’m not exactly sure. Kopech you might be able to get for a reasonable price and if you could tweak secondary stuff to go with 100 mph fastball he could be dominate with Jax and Duran.
  21. High heat
    You have to think Wallner will be the next call up back to MN bat has really gotten hot lately.
  22. High heat
    Understand Camarago is a better option behind the plate. He is a good defender behind the plate with a big arm and has show pop in his bat. But if the Twins are going to force him to sit in AAA hanging onto Vazquez you might as well trade him and get value for him. You do always need a 3rd catcher option. If in 2025 the twins are lowering or keeping there payroll a major league minimum play needs to replace both Farmer and Margot. Helman and Martin would be perfect replacements but you have to find out in ‘24 if they can do it.
  23. High heat
    I think you give some guys thru the month of June but Kiriloff Farmer Margot ones going to be off the roster. Vazquez gets through the month as well but a serious discussion on Camargo is needed. If you’re going to ride out Vazquez this yr and next maybe you look at trading Camargo. I have heard Chris Williams has been focusing on his defense behind the plate and has really improved. Is him and Winker viable 3rd catchers? one of Kiriloff Larnach and Wallner aren’t part of the future and a decision in which one is needed. If the Twins are going to have a similar or lower payroll next yr I would consider moving Kepler at the deadline. Bring up Michael Helman! The bats getting hot he can play the Castro role and do everything defensively Castro can. The next injury to any position player should be Helmans job.
  24. High heat
    Yes you move one group or move on makes way for guys further down to move up. Kai Rosario and shobel to move up if Keaschall keeps hitting he will likely move to AAA. Have to move one of Walner, Larnach Kirilloff while they have trade value. If Keirsey and Helman can provide you the same value as Farmer and Margot you can save yourself 10 million next yr. You have to give them an opportunity and see
  25. High heat
    Gotta make a decision if Prado, Helman, and Kiersey are big leaguers or just AAAA guys. Walner, Larnach and Kiriloff are all mid to late 20s and are all very similar. 1 of them has to go this offseason.
