    So what about all of the plate appearances prior to being hit in the ribs?
  2. SF Twins Fan
    Does anyone know if Wallners any options remaining? He needs a reset.
  3. SF Twins Fan
    Morris looked pretty good. Most of the hits against him were three hoppers or bloops that found space. I wonder if they will send him back down since he threw 67 pitches and they could use another bullpen arm or if they will keep him up long term?
  4. SF Twins Fan
    Is the center field camera all over the place?
  5. SF Twins Fan
    I really don't understand including any spring training numbers in articles like this. He's pitched 4 innings.... there is no information to take from that other than potentially velocity and movement. His ERA, FIP, Walk Rate so far this spring are all pointless stats to include. He could be working on a new pitch or a different way to throw a current pitch.

    He's only had slightly more than 700 plate appearances in the MLB. 1,000 PA's is usually the standard for knowing what a player will be in his career. I don't think he's going to be an all-star, but if he can improve his plate discipline, that should lead to better / harder contact. Can he improve enough to be an everyday player, is he more of a utility player, or is he a below replacement player? This will likely be the deciding year in his career.

    When was the last time the Twins made an impactful internation signing? The 2009 class?
  8. SF Twins Fan
    What I do wonder is, will they be able to pluck a good candidate from a well-run organization this late into the offseason? Also, with the Pohlad's still potentially selling after the new CBA comes into effect would someone want this GM spot knowing they may have a new boss in a few years?

    So, this is a nothing burger? Briefly talked a month ago with no talks on going.
  10. SF Twins Fan
    The way the offseason has gone so far, there is zero indication the front office is actually trying to compete in 2026.
  11. SF Twins Fan
    A low on base, no power 1st baseman? Definitely what the Twins team needs next season.

    I could give two shits where Wallner is from. He produced an OPS of .775 in 2025, which is above average for an outfielder, which is around .750. His OPS' in 2023 and 2024 were .877 and .895, respectively, which are both WELL above average. His OPS+ have been 138, 149, and 110 over the past three seasons. Again, all well above average. The statement that Wallner isn't an above average hitter is 100% completely false and inaccurate. Did he have a down year in 2025 compared to the two previous years? Yes, 100%. Unless he just completely falls apart in 2026, there is no reason to believe he can't be a well above average DH on a playoff team.

    Cool story. So, watching Keaschall come up and contribute right away wasn't exciting to you? Lewis is at least average at defense. Lee's range is below average, but he can make the throws. Keaschal's problems on defense were his throws, which could be because he was coming back from UCL surgery and then broke his forearm. Give him a healthy offseason and spring training he could be just fine at 2nd. He has plenty of range to play there. Bell sucks at defense but until the Twins sign someone else to play the position that's who we will be stuck watching at 1st. Jenkins is currently ranked 10th as a prospect by MLB and reached AAA as a 20-year-old and held his own. Over the last roughly 70 years, the number of players to reach AAA at 20-years old is around 20. Most of those players went on to be all stars. But yea, he's been an average at best minor leaguer.... yawn. Wallner has been an above average MLB hitter since he was called up... he would be an ideal DH.

    Where did I ever say the newbie rookies will save the day? Did you even read and comprehend what I wrote? All I said is if they can get a few prospects to hit out of the 11 that I mentioned then the team will be more exciting.... NOTHING in there said anything about "saving" the day... IF by year-end say Jenkins, Rodriguez, Abel, and Morris have pushed their way onto the MLB roster then it will be much more exciting to watch. Catcher: Jeffers IF: Bell, Keaschall, Lewis, Lee OF: Rodriguez, Buxton, Jenkins DH: Wallner That's a much more exciting lineup then what they're planning to trot out there currently. Try actually comprehending what I wrote.

    Definitely an ugly roster if this is the team that makes it to the start of the season, but after the all-star break it could look a lot different in a positive way. If they can get a few of their prospects to earning promotions this year the 2nd half of the season will be more exciting. Jenkins, Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Mendez and Fedko all could push for time in the outfield. Culpepper could push for time in the infield. Abel, Morris, Prielipp, Raya, and Rojas all could push for time in the starting rotation or bullpen.

    In college, my lacrosse team would "volunteer" to work concessions at Wild games. Any money we made went to paying down the cost of our team expenses. Travel, food, etc. So, at least for the Wild they were paying concession workers.
  17. SF Twins Fan
    I think we can cross Kahnle off the list with Hawkins being the bullpen coach....
  18. SF Twins Fan
    That might be the best news of all the changes. So, he was basically forced out, so his brother could step in and take over. Woof - Christmas is going to be awkward.

    Wild owner Craig Leipold is one of the buyers according to Michael Russo.
  20. SF Twins Fan
    Love this! He's always been willing to spend money on talent and wants the Wild to make the playoffs every season. I wish the Wilfs would be in on the Twins ownership as well.
  21. SF Twins Fan
    I love this if true. He's always willing to spend to move the team better.

    I'm not sure if you read Dan's article or not but the three minority groups aren't putting in stipulations that they want first right of refusal. That would lead me to believe they're expecting the Poohlads to sell once the new CBA is in place and once the new national TV deal goes into effect. It seems like they're trying to make a quick buck expecting the Twins value to increase with the debt paid down, higher national revenue, and the CBA completed.
  23. SF Twins Fan
    Does anyone know what Tampa Bays history is drafting in the 1st round? Do they typically like college or high school batters or college or high school pitchers?
  24. SF Twins Fan
    Another article was just posted to TD that states Varde isn't the group buying into the Twins.
  25. SF Twins Fan
    How is Walters wrong so often?!?
