    He has pitched 118 innings this year, including at ST Paul. I am not sure what his target for the year is, but I think at 37 more than last year he is probably at about his max. They could just have him throw in the bullpen the rest of the year and work on an off speed pitch of some sort. There is no need to pitch him until his arm falls off. When next year comes, they will need him in the rotation not on the 60 day IL.

    Most of the people who built this roster are gone. So what's left is to deal with it. Keep Buxton, Keaschall, Jenkins, Rodriguez & Roden on the Twins and Mendez, Gonzalez, Rosario, Kendle & ? on the Saints roster. The others you bite the bullet and get whatever you can for them. Too late to say you should have done something else.

    It would be good on this kind of article if the teams you have in mind to compare the Twins to would be mentioned. I think we could say Cleveland, then ? Tampa Bay and recently Seattle? I think most of the best starters are high draft picks out of college and there aren't many. That's pretty much a crap shoot.

    I guess you know what a player is worth by what other teams are willing to trade for him. It didn't seem as if much was offered other than a pitcher by the Astros who is having an off year overall.

    I think Wallner may have competition at that spot from Rodriguez. I think Emma will also be a better outfielder to substitute in than Wallner.

    Keaschall hasn't had a lot of game time experience at any position in the minors or majors. He was drafted in '23 and played 24 games at second base. In '24 he played 39 games in the field while he was held out or playing dh until he had arm surgery. In '25 he got 41 games at 2nd and no outfield time. 26 became the first year that he has gotten time as a professional in the field. The team needs to figure out where they want him to play and get him time in that spot(s). I think based on nothing that his best position turns out to be left field. If they can train pitchers why can't they train others to throw better?

    I think the starting infield for most of next season is going to be Lewis 1B, Lee. 2B, Culpepper 3B and Houston at SS. I'd prefer that Lewis stayed at first base the rest of this year to get as much in game practice as possible. Between Houston and Culpepper watching the majors and minors, Houston is pretty clearly the better shortstop and that may not be fair to Culpepper. It'll take the next year and a half to get a real good feel for how that infield is going together.

    If the Twins actually make the playoffs, which at this point I kind of doubt it, I hope that Mick Able is able to pitch in the playoffs. If Ryan ever recovers I might include him in the rotation. But if he continues as is, I would look for Bradley, Able, Prielipp & Rojas for playoff starts.

    Keaschall's ultimate position seems unknown currently, but I guess its down to any outfield spot plus second and first base. I still think he should bat first ultimately.

    I think it is because he won't have much available playing time for the Saints as opposed to the Wind Surge.

    I'm surprised that ERod made it to #31 on the Law's list, only 10 places below both Lackey and Jenkins. As Rodriguez battles another year of injuries, there have been many on this site who would prefer that he is thrown in the trash can. I've always preferred that he is elevated to the Twins right field role as soon as he is healthy.

    I don't think I would make a trade that wasn't geared towards making this a better team next year and 2028. That doesn't mean they can't get better this year. But I think the whole focus the past year has been on making 2026 a skip year. Just so happens that the players have been better as a team then anyone thought.

    Hopefully he is playing at the depth that the coaching department told him to play. He is not Buxton and probably never will be.

    I would take a real good starting catcher for the next 10-12 years, middle of the order bat and 5-6 all star games.
