    I did not have Paul Skenes getting tagged for 5 runs in the 1st inning on my bingo card today. Side note, the Pirates defense may be the worst collection of players in years.

    Royce batting 8th is a choice.

    Are you an infielder or outfielder?

    In modern day NFL, BPA coincidentally turns out to be the position that team needs most... As @Danchatpoints out in the depth chart, the Vikings could go any direction and it would make sense. 4 years in a row of bad drafting and all that... I could see DT being addressed in R1 or R2 for our Vikings. Center in the mid rounds for sure.

    I was curious to see where the Dobber went. Randy Dobnak is on Seattle's AAA roster to start the year. This was supposed to be Dobnak's first "team-friendly" option year of $6 million when Falvey recklessly signed him to the extension after 3 weeks of spring training results.

    Every time I look at this RAS report I become more fascinated and confused at the same time. Was this a real NFL hopeful? Or someone trolling? 11 bench reps at 311 lbs. 6.00 40 yard dash. Did he trip and take 3 seconds to get up for his shuttle time? That's incredible.

    It’s a fascinating case study. An ownership group (likely motivated by pending death) operated that sports is entertainment. Spending beyond the means of the market earned them loyalty from fans and packed the seats every game. Meanwhile, we have Pohlad version 4.0 now Tough Talking Tom who’s the same as the previous 3 versions. Claims they want a championship but will never, ever pay the price to become just that. Not even in 2019 when everything lined up for them to make a legitimate WS run.

    Man we need to hit a grand slam in the draft this year. Enormous holes at center and interior DL. Razor thin depth in the secondary, WR, and RB. Woof.

    The team's record this season will be irrelevant. I'll need a reminder or two throughout the year when we lose in annoying fashion... But I do believe the wins and losses are irrelevant. This season is all about finding foundational blocks to rebuild for a more competitive future. Who's gonna be the first reliever to step up? Can Wallner, Lewis, and Lee finally establish themselves as reliable every day players?

    Old friend Christian Vazquez makes Houston’s opening day roster

    That bullpen is horrifying. As far as the lineup, there's not much speed and there's not much defensive ability to be found.
  14. Vanimal46
    The only thing this team will be competing for is avoiding 100 losses.

    The Twins unfortunately need warm bodies at this point. I didn't know this until just now but Stewart is expected to be out for the 2026 season.
  16. Vanimal46
    Good call. Mendez has basically played a full season of AA split over 2 years but he could start there in 2026. I'd expect an early call up to St Paul for him though. In 118 games, he's a .299/.399 BA/OBP guy. Can we round to the nearest dollar here and call him a .300/.400/.440 guy at that level?
  17. Vanimal46
    Given that likely log jam in St Paul, who out of those 5 can play 1B? I would try Gonzalez and/or Fedko.
  18. Vanimal46
    The first month of the season would be a pretty good time to try out Roden before the other 3 potential difference making prospects are ready to go as well.
  19. Vanimal46
    The lazy assumption is to put a guy in the bullpen and their velocity is gonna jump a few MPH due to maxing out. Doesn't happen for all though. Ober's velocity dip looks permanent...
  20. Vanimal46
    Maybe we can get a reliever whose arm explodes whenever they pitch more than 20 innings like Brock Stewart.
  21. Vanimal46
    Austin Martin in LF is slightly more tolerable than Larnach. I fear he may be the one asked to fill in elsewhere around the infield because our depth there is also extremely thin.
  22. Vanimal46
    It’s hard to believe the Twins are planning on Larnach playing LF again. But here we are, set on a Larnach - Buxton - Wallner OF to start 2026. Good luck to the pitching staff. The defense behind them is going to be among the worst in all of MLB.
  23. Vanimal46
    Feels like the Phil Hughes situation repeating itself. Ober is gonna have to Houdini his way out of a lot of trouble this season.

    It's almost like you are the one who's never been near a lake in your life. You've never anchored down 20-30 feet from the shore and jump in to cool down without a life jacket on? I highly doubt Correa was hundreds of feet away from the shore or the boat. He could still yell towards the boat he needed help and his father in law acted quickly to get to them.

    The only law in Minnesota is children under 10 are required to wear one. His son was wearing one.
