    Ben Ross is another IF option to look at . Ben Ross is currently slashing .355/.478/.664 across Double-A and Triple-A. This outstanding performance includes 7 home runs and 10 stolen bases in 136 plate appearances. He is only 24 years old

    Not too worried about the Kreidler move. Shelton seems to know how to get solid value out of players like him. One likely roster (IMO) at the trade deadline will be a trade of Bell and possibly Larnach and Lewis (someone will buy the hype on Lewis). That timing may well fit the timelines to have a healthy and rehabbed Erod and Jenkins. Culpepper should have enough reps to be ready as well. on a side note I may be the only one who thinks this but I believe Outman fits the role he is being asked to play. Good Pinch runner, base stealer, late innings defender, and occasional Emergency starter. He is doing fine in those roles none of which are appropriate for any real prospect.

    Well we might as well add Julien and Wallner to the list of players Correa ruined. Nothing but bad pull hitters now. Darn that Correa.

    Shades of Jose Miranda. He couldn’t or wouldn’t make the adjustments and it is unlikely Wallner will either. DH was the best position for both of them and no one needs a DH who can’t hit.

    Thank Goodness TD is blessed with a deeply insightful, self appointed stat wonk who can cherry pick stats and reduce every issue to black and white narratives. The scolding tone is always just a bonus. Go Bean.

    They are not going to dump Larnach for Roden nor should they. They may however replace Outman with him. Roden does not project as more than a 4th outfielder anywhere other than with some TD readers. Possibly the same people who were calling for Keirsey in 2024 when hit .300 with power. Larnach and Outman (with LA) were great AAA hitters too. St. Paul numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt.

    Not sure if this article is click bait or Roden fanboy stuff. The only thing Roden is a victim of is not being good enough to take advantage of the opportunities he has been given. His ceiling is 4th outfielder.

    The Twins do need to bring him up soon. They have already burned 2 of his 3 option years. If he struggles in his first go at the Major Leagues as so many young players do, they need to be able to send him down for more seasoning. Waiting until late in the year just adds pressure to his development.

    It was still a bad trade IMO as was the Outman trade. The one thing Roden has going for him is he is not James Outman. Zoll can dump Outman as he is perceived as Falvey’s error.

    Actually Mike every team does do that….In fact that is where most relievers come from. With few exceptions Teams generally don’t try to draft relievers.
  31. Wizard11
    Why did they not just keep Fitzgerald and DFA Gasper?
  32. Wizard11
    I will save my teeth gnashing until March. This FO has a history of late opportunistic signings. If the Roster looks like this on opening day I will commence Gnashing

    Parker, as always I really appreciate your thoughtful and insightful writing. You lift the level of dialogue up to a level of thought provoking and away from the ever available sewer of click bait. Always refreshing. For me the content you produce (along with Nick) is what keeps me coming back to TD. Thank you for your hard work.

    Zero downside to a minor league contract. It’s not like we have any 1B prospects to block

    I am struck by all the comments about Falvey’s purported lack of trading prowess. Joe Ryan, Pablo Lopez, Simeon Woods-Richardson, Taj Bradley, and Nick Abel are all likely to start for the Twins this year. They were all acquired by Falvey via trade. I don’t love this front office but sometimes the comments about Falvey just seem like incoherent spew.
