    Who will be the LOWEST Ranked Free Agent signed by the Twins?
  2. Jacksson
    TRADE HIM !! "New approach" by the Twins is unnecessary. Next team can deal with Ryan.
  3. Jacksson
    Free Agent Pitchers whose Agent should be contacted: Mike King Adrian Morejon Trevor Rogers Michael Soroka Clay Holmes Alex Vesia Bryan Abreu Paul Blackburn Brock Burke JoJo Romero Steven Okert Sean Newcomb Jonathan Loaisiga And for The sake of being through = Free Agent Position Players whose Agent should be contacted: Luis Arraez Teruaki Sato Jake Bauers Ty France Carson Kelly Alec Bohm OK TP, put your MONEY where your mouth is. Open up that war chest of money the Pohlad family put together through: Mass Transit, Bottling, Banking, and Real Estate and let the moths have a bit of fresh air while the wallet is thinned out !! You will feel better. That thick wallet you are sitting on throws your entire body off balance; thinning it out will restore your equilibrium.

    With the publication of the new Pitching Coaches philosophy, the Twins' pitchers better have something nasty on the ball and have premier location on the first few pitches because batters are now on notice that those first few pitches will be at or near the strike zone and they will be swinging.

    46 = Players on the 40 Man Roster AND 60 Day IL (4) = Free Agents - Jeffers, Bell, Rogers, Minter 4 = From 60 Day IL - Abel, Festa, Lopez, Paredes (2) = Release/DFA from 60 Day IL - Sands, Banda (6) = Trade/Release/DFA Position Players - Gray, Sabato, Wallner, Larnach, Lewis, Martin (2) = Trade/Release/DFA Pitchers - Nance, Orze 36 = Subtotal (7) = Listen to offers/ Make available - Buxton, Gonzalez, Caratini, Keaschall, Ryan, Ober, Adams 29 = Players on the 40 man roster
  6. Jacksson
    EZ Roster Moves
  7. Jacksson
    Just take a look at the Giants 40 man roster including all the players on the 60 day IL. Of course, the Twins would have to be choosey with regard to the pitchers/players they received in return for Ryan.
  8. Jacksson
    Giants may well be a logical possibility, particularly if the Twins are willing to take a flyer on an injured pitcher and/or a pitcher brought up prematurely out of roster desperation by the Giants. They have ELEVEN pitchers on the 60 day IL and after the World Series concludes, those 11 will have to be added back onto the 40 man roster. To do so, the Giants will have to DFA/release some of the arms on the active 40 man roster to make room for the pitchers coming off the 60 Day IL. That's a whole lot of arms to deal with and taking 3 or so for Ryan would ease their roster crunch and give them a healthy arm. The team also has 6 position players on the 60 day IL = 2 - C, 2 - IF, 2 - OF.
  9. Jacksson
    Yea, maybe we can get the next SAM DYSON or SHAUN ARMSTRONG in return !!
  10. Jacksson
    Clemens gets hosed again !!
  11. Jacksson
    NOT HARDLY. Won by a guy without a proven defensive position. Second goes to a guy that disappeared after the All Star Break? Kody Clemens got hosed: he should have been #1. RECOUNT THE VOTES !!
  12. Jacksson
    If Buxton starts out as DH due to recovering from surgery and if Jenkins begins the year in AAA, Roden could be starting in the OF.
  13. Jacksson
    The organization should have a "PLAN" for each and every player in the organization that lays out their advancement through the system along with the use of developmental and training tools necessary to accomplish the "PLAN". Sometimes the players develop as planned, sometimes they don't. It is important to the long term success of the organization to identify those players who are not working out early in their career and move on from them, making way for better prospects. Given the number of LH hitting OF, the players without a defensive position, the positional "holes" that exist in the organization, this is an area in need of increased attention.
  14. Jacksson
    In some way shape or form, Larnach will be with a different organization in 2027. There is no room for him on the Twins' roster. The only possible fit is as a DH, but 50% of those at bats will go to the surgically recovering Buxton who may not play a defensive position until after the All Star Break, while the rest will go to position players who are getting a partial day off. If Larnach is untradeable, he will have to be non-tendered. Same for Wallner.
  15. Jacksson
    The team failed to live up to expectations for 2026. Reasons= #1 Injuries to players leading to extended loss of playing time = Abel, Sands, Banda, Festa, Paredes, Rojas, Acton, Buxton. #2 Performances below expected levels from = Wallner, Larnach, Buxton, Roden, Martin, Ryan, Adams, Ober, Orze, Rogers. #3 Poor organizational decision making = A - Keeping Outman on the 26 man roster. B - Failure to trade Jeffers & acquire MLB ready players. C - Failure to trade Ryan & acquire MLB ready players. D - Taking until mid season to realize that the infield alignment was flawed and making the moves necessary to overhaul that situation which resulted in position changes and necessitating "learning on the fly" at new or relatively unfamiliar positions by players: Lee, Lewis, Keaschall, Clemens. E - Continuing to believe that Gray was a capable ML Shortstop. F - Delaying the season ending hip surgery on Buxton until the season was shot when it was clear that surgery was the outcome at the time of the All Star Break and depriving players: Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Roden, Mendez of gaining valuable MAJOR LEAGUE outfield experience as well as providing organizational data on their performance that could be used for player evaluation. G - Signing Caratini. H - Signing Bell. I - Shortening the 26 man roster by carrying Jackson as a 3rd catcher for two extended periods of time during which he received minimal utilization. #4 - Having an owner and GM with a deluded opinion of the construction and performance capabilities of the team.
  16. Jacksson
    Too bad there is a lack of top tier ML pitching talent at the top of the organizational pipeline but that must be due to having to elevate pitchers from St Paul to the Twins due to in season and prior to the season pitching injuries. Keep an eye on MiLB free agents, International Free Agents, Independent League Free Agents, Rule 5 eligible pitchers to fill out at AAA.
  17. Jacksson
    Got to look at 1B trade opportunities with organizations where the advancement of their ascending 1B talent is blocked by an established ML level 1B, Research, Identify, Evaluate, Prioritize, Pursue. Also be open to top AAA performers who could be moved to 1B or at least have exposure to playing 1B. This should be a top priority and except for a few select players, EVERYONE or a combination of everyones should be available.
  18. Jacksson
    Yes they did, the DUMMIES !!
  19. Jacksson
    The next 1B is not currently in the organization. Identify that player. Trade for him.
  20. Jacksson
    TWO EXTRA HOURS of OF practice EVERY DAY for Keaschall !!
  21. Jacksson
    Possibly him and BP Coach Hawkins as well.
  22. Jacksson
    Move him to RF (if he is still with the team). Have him fill in in CF and DH a time or two each week. Make sure the rest of the league knows that despite Buxton's stated wish to remain with the Twins; the Twins will take calls and listen to trade inquiries.
  23. Jacksson
    BUXTON
  24. Jacksson
    Shelton should order an "unintentional" HBP to one of the premier players on the Guardians in retaliation of Culpepper getting plunked.
  25. Jacksson
    Buxton's best days are in the past. His value is diminished when he moves out of CF and into either RF, 1B or DH. Should have cashed in on his value when the team could. Now, although value priced and if he consistently is able to take the field in a defensive position, he is just an unreliable, injury prone, old beyond his calendar years, ballplayer whose presence on the roster is gumming up the organization's player pipeline of outfield prospects.
