    I'd rather have any of the other hitters on your roster not named Taylor or Stevenson DH instead of Buxton if Julian sits (obviously if they are not starting at their position that day) I really think Ober needs to be one of the pitchers. I would sub him for Paddack in your group. Great to see Paddack progressing but the playoffs is not the time to 'see what you have' in a pitcher. Finally, I'd start Ryan in a game three but on a short leash with Maeda waiting in the wings. When Ryan is 'on' he is every bit as good as Gray and Lopez.... but will he be 'on.' I think we will know early and be ready to adjust accordingly. You could have Ryan waiting behind Maeda but Maeda has come out of the bullpen before and 'peak Ryan' is better than 'peak Maeda' in my opinion.

    Sabato should probably get his real estate license while he is down there and start preparing for life after baseball

    I would compare our young core more to the '84 Twins than the '87 Twins.... the talent is there but there still needs to be development to seriously compete for championships People definitely 'knew' that Puckett, Hrbek, Gaetti, Burnansky, and Viola were good in '87 but less so in '84 when they came close to the playoffs. What people also 'knew' in 1987 was that the Twins 3rd pitcher was a guy named Les Straker and they had exactly 2 talented bullpen arms... one of which was not exactly known for his command/control (Senior Smoke ring a bell for anyone?) The '87 Twins were built better for the post season than the regular season by a long shot

    'The first player that jumps out on this list is Taylor Buxton.' Fixed that for you. If he ends up on the post season roster, that means the Twins FO is still in the denial phase on Buck. It is OK for Buck and the Fans to be in denial, but it is NOT OK for the FO to be in denial because their denial will ultimately hurt the team's chances of post season success. And unlike Buxton and the Fans, they are paid to be objective.

    Sorry... not good news.... or news at all related to the potential post season success of the 2023 Twins. You are still in the denial stage and that is OK.... I'll save a chair for you on the stage of acceptance for whenever you get here!
  6. D.C Twins
    This won't end well.... which is probably for the best because 2023 Buck would be a liability on the playoff roster.

    1. We are going to miss Gray 2. Gray is going to get Paaaaaaaaid next season
  8. D.C Twins
    Martin..... and he also leads off.... next question :)
  9. D.C Twins
    Hopefully Lewis, Kirilloff, Jeffers, and Lee will be the Puckett, Gaetti, Hrbek, and Brunansky core for years of success to come. If all goes well, Correa and Buck will be welcomed icing, but not the cake going forward.....

    Dobnak has worked hard to return and is by all accounts a pillar of the community. I'm sure that he would like better results, but I for one could not be happier for him that he got the contract that he did and has maximized his talents. I would not be surprised if he finds his way into a few spot starts in the MLB next season. Lee and Martin and Servino... oh my! Severino is only 23 by the way.

    I've been done for 2 years-ish now with Rocco. No team out there covets Rocco as a manager. They secretly root for us to keep him as long as possible.
  12. D.C Twins
    We should all approach life with the same passion and grit that Maeda is putting into that pitch in the picture :) Oh, and take a look at his elbow in that picture.... surprising that any pitchers make it through the season with their pitching elbow intact!
  13. D.C Twins
    This needs to be the disclaimer best answer for any roster post followed by a more nuanced discussion because the FO clearly will not to that this season :)
  14. D.C Twins
    Doesn't it always seem to come down to if they can learn to hit an MLB level breaking ball? That being said, I couldn't be more excited in the present. (And he looks like he is right out of central casting for an MLB star in a movie :)
  15. D.C Twins
    Royce F-ing Lewis! Kudos to Seth... he never lost faith in Royce for one second and boy he was sure right!
  16. D.C Twins
    43%... Good Lord.... The FO has no shame on this issue.
  17. D.C Twins
    If only.....
  18. D.C Twins
    Ding! Check the oven FO... Kirilloff is ready for the MLB!
  19. D.C Twins
    Guilty as charged, When he had his rough season in the minors with a sky high SO/BB ratio, I was quite vocal about my concerns. While he is not going to continue to hit 3 GS every 8 days, I think we've seen enough to know that he will be a very good baseball player and leader. Now if he demonstrates the abilities to rapidly make adjustments to inevitable pitcher adjustments, he will be special
  20. D.C Twins
    So clearly Kirilloff is not staying is AAA to shake the rust off.... he's ki-ri-lling it. And AAA baseball isn't safer than MLB on a shoulder. And Gallo can barely touch a baseball with his bat. So.... about that explanation FO/Rocco.... come again? Ego and Borras say what?!
  21. D.C Twins
    "He's un-rosterable at this point." Not just at this point, but really ANY point throughout the season!
  22. D.C Twins
    I need more Jenkins playing, just like I need more cowbell!
  23. D.C Twins
    My Ohl my,... we may have just found a diamond pitcher in rough!
  24. D.C Twins
    They will.... in CF
  25. D.C Twins
    I've made it to the acceptance phase finally that Buck is done as an elite athlete. This is a chronic progressive problem (probably cartilage damage with ongoing degenerative process as pointed out by someone who certainly sounds like and orthopedic surgeon above) It looks like some of you are still in the denial, anger, and bargaining stage which is perfectly understandable and OK. It sucks. I do wonder how many second opinions the Twins got before signing the long term contract though. 100mil is obviously not a good deal for someone who cannot play....
