    Like you said, 26 years old.. Also a .364 BABIP which means he is unlikely to sustain his current numbers. Replaces Mark Contreras next year as non-roster depth.

    Julien hit .218/.373/..276 (.649 OPS) vs LHP's in the hitter's paradise known as the Texas League while striking out 27.3% of the time.. Plus he can't play defense. IMO, he is way overrated on this list and by those who are counting on him in 2024

    With the end of shifting 2B is a premium position. You made me look. Against LHPs in the Texas League hitting environment, Julien hit .210/.373/.276 (.649) in 134 plate appearances, striking out 36 times (26.9%). Arraez became a good fielder at 1B. Julien hasn't been tried there yet, but he is terrible at 2B. Julien figures to be healthier.

    You left out DH (Nelson Cruz) and have a lot riding on Kirilloff. You overlook Luis Arraez's contribution to 2019.
  13. Lonestar
    Gallo plays much better corner outfield defense than Profar. Gallo plays better CF defense than Nick Gordon; Profar does not.
  14. Lonestar
    Cody, you left out Nick Gordon and Eduard Julien. Gallo can replace Gordon in CF. I agree that Wallner might be at his peak. He's Gallo without defense.

    No, it's not. Compare their trade values on recent trades. Most of the mock trades are garbage.

    Why are neither Camargo or Isola on MLB Pipeline's Twins Top 30 prospect list, but Sabato, Strotman, and Helman are?

    This is so much sophistry -- I mean small sample size. He's had 67 AB's with runners in scoring position and 31 with runners in scoring position and 2 out. Last year he had 158 AB's with runners in scoring position and OPSed .842, including 85 AB's with 2 outs and an OPS of .915. PS The Twins are not giving him nearly as many chances as the Astros did.

    OPS is not the formula for Runs Created. And 18 runs is just normal statistical variation (noise).

    If Parada cant be a MLB catcher (ringe receiver and ball-blocker with a 45 arm), he we be a lot like Berry or Kyle Schwarber.

    Cade Horton of Oklahoma has pitched more than Prielipp
  22. Lonestar
    Is Arraez healthy and in shape? Can he regain the offensive luster he had in 2019 (admittedly with a livelier ball then)? Why is Gordon on this team? Who gets bumped from the rotation?
  23. Lonestar
    Trout is no longer more durable and only plays CF because he pushed back on having Brandon Marsh (a markedy better defender) take over. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2022-positional-power-rankings-center-field/
