  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. Zero downside to a minor league contract. It’s not like we have any 1B prospects to block
  12. 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.
  13. FWIW as of today Prielipp is back on the IL. Hill seems to have the highest ceiling. Baseball America has a nice write up on him and very positive views of his potential to be a number one type starter.
  14. Might want to check those pitch totals on the bullpen usage chart. Several are incorrect
