I haven’t watched every inning of every game, but based on my observation, any metric that suggests Miranda is a better fielder than Urshela currently, should be discarded immediately.

Enjoy the season!! However it turns out, I am finding them entertaining to watch this season.

Weird how things work out. A few short months ago there were many opinions demanding Miranda to be playing in the majors and some suggesting Lewis was a wash out. Now, many are ready to give up on Miranda and believe Lewis is a sure bet.

If the Twins are contenders this year and they are currently in first place. I think a strong argument could be made for a starting infield of Krilliloff, Polanco, Correa, Urshela and use Arraez, Miranda and Gordon as the reserves. Lewis would be in St Paul.

I would send him back to The Saints to play SS full time, with the goal of him being the 2023 opening day starter for the Twins.

Pitching wise the Twins look to have plenty of options. As far as position players, getting Buxton, Correa, Arraez, Larnach and Garlick all back and healthy would help the most.

I am ok with Celestino as the 4th outfielder, but he has been getting too much playing time lately. Buxton needs to start playing more if the Twins are going to keep winning.

Godoy and Sands are the obvious cuts tomorrow. I think the tougher calls are for when Kiriloff and Gray come back.

Not everyone. Just those that agree with my opinions.

I think the bullpen has the potential to be very good, even without Rogers. The only real question is (and it is a rather big one), who can get the last outs of the game.

Or it could mean that they wanted to trade Rogers because he was in the last year of his contract and they probably were not going to resign him. And that they felt that Garver was going to have to get moved from catcher to stay healthy. And they were able to get pieces in return that they liked.

I think it would be great to see Kirilloff at first and Larnach in left against right handed starters. I am just not sure the Twins will start the season that way.

Your 10 first mentioned, are locks. If they start with 13 position players, that leaves 3 spots. My prediction would be Gordon, Godoy and some right handed outfielder. I don’t think Larnach makes the opening day roster, even if he has a good spring training.

They likely see a lefty opening day, so I would leave Arraez and Kepler on the bench. DH is Sanchez, Rooker in right field?

It would be interesting that the Twins would trade Donaldson to get out of a contract and then take on a more expensive contract . I only see Story signing with the Twins if it is team friendly and under the perceived market value.
