December 12, 20169 yr Albert BelleJulio FrancoNolan Ryan....On a serious note: I wonder if they would give Josh Hamilton a shot?
December 12, 20169 yr We'll try to keep track of minor league signings here... http://twinsdaily.com/topic/24263-2016-twins-minor-league-free-agents/ Internally, I would guess: Niko Goodrum, Dan Rohlfing & Alex Wimmers (since they've signed)Stephen GonsalvesKohl StewartNick GordonTanner EnglishBrian NavarretoAJ MurrayJake ReedNick BurdiTrevor Hildenberger That might be about it.
December 12, 20169 yr Too early to tell... I suspect about 3-4 of the ST invitees are not with the team yet.
December 12, 20169 yr Some of it is just to get a few more than the 40-men on the roster. And you need catchers, of which the Twins have a low supply. It is an opportunity to get in some extra work and open some eyes. But the majority of the guys in the organization right now will drift out once minor league camp opens. Can't wait to see what minor league free agents the Twins do sign. As well as the eventual makeup of coaching staffs and minor league coordinators.
December 12, 20169 yr Too early to tell... I suspect about 3-4 of the ST invitees are not with the team yet. There are 40 on the roster. I added 12 non-roster guys currently in the organization. I missed Ben Paulsen, so that would be 13. Most teams usually have 60-62 guys to start spring training, so I would think there'll be at least eight more minor league signings with invites to spring.
December 12, 20169 yr How about Wheeler, Baxendale, Busenitz Probably depends on who else they bring in.
December 12, 20169 yr Engelb Vielma, particularly if Dozier gets dealt He's on the 40-man roster, so he will be there
December 12, 20169 yr He's on the 40-man roster, so he will be there Thanks, mid off-season brainfart on my part.
December 12, 20169 yr With the World Baseball Classic going on, I expect there will be extras if we lose services of some guys due to the WBC, (Rosario, Vargas, E. Santana, Sano, etc.)
