Knebel was good. He has been hurt for the last 2 years it seems. A minor league deal if he accepts it would be great. Get him in games every other day and see if he has anything left. He does give up a lot of walks when he is off. But so does every pitcher. I have been thinking the same thing as you. But I feel any pitcher is better than Pagen.

Tyler Jay draft pick. He was so good in college as a closer. He never was a starter. Twins draft him and say we are going to make him a starter. One of the dumbest moves by management for the Twins. Tyler could have been up as bullpen help that year or the following year. I was so irritated with this move. Twins killed the career for Tyler Jay. I have no idea why this always bothered me.

Twins 2023 Position Analysis: First Base
Byrdman replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
There is still 3 weeks left of spring training. I am not worried. AK is just getting used to it. They did cut some of his bone off. Your body and mind is getting used to it not being there. AK will get a good 2 weeks in this spring and ready to roll. If not he will start on the IL and Solono will start there for us until AK is ready.- 41 replies

I just think of Miami every time i see the M hat.

Our infield for 2024 will be this: Lewis-3B, Correa-SS, Lee-2nd, Kirilliof-1B and Miranda DH/1B/3B Polonco will probably be traded in the 23 offseason. Martin will likely be traded at this years deadline for bullpen arms. Julien will just be a bat first player and likely traded in the next year or two. We will need starters next year and couple trades will be needed. Unless we can extend Gray, Mahle & Meade. I can see the twins extending 2 of these guys. Maybe only one just depends on how they pitch this year.
-
Our pitching staff is deep and I feel our rotation is probably the best we have had in a very long time. We are going to have a great year if they stay healthy. I still think our bullpen is terrible and will be our downfall, but that is me.

Twins Daily 2023 Top Prospects: #10 Austin Martin, SS
Byrdman replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
I honestly hope he figures it out as he is the most redundant player right now. We don't need another Nick Gordon. I hope he hits, so we can trade him for a bullpen arm at the deadline. I know I sound harsh on this.- 83 replies

Which Twins Lineup Do You Like Best?
Byrdman replied to Hans Birkeland's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
LEE & Julien will not be with the twins this year at all, unless there are a ton of injuries. Both of there defenses are not good or really have a spot to play. They need a full year in AA/AAA. Martin and will be traded by the deadline. I could see Julien traded as well.- 31 replies

MLB knows it is a issue. Mostly what i am reading is MLB is waiting for the bankruptcy to happen so they take back the rights of the teams. MLB/NHL/NBA are going to team up and create packages etc so you can stream anywhere, any time, with out blackouts. Lets hope this is true. My family can finally drop direct TV. Now that the football package is on youtube now. As a follow up you can always do MLB.TV and a VPN and watch the twins.

Just get the bally sports north streaming monthly subscription(20$ or 190$ for the year). Now you can watch all Minnesota sports.

From PIT-David Bednar for Austin Martin & Pagan Give us a dominants arm for 7th 8th 9th how ever they want to use him. Hopefully they can take pagan off our hands for the 40 man spot.
-
Your starting OF is Gallo=LF, Buxton=CF/DH every 3rd day Kepler=RF, Taylor= 4th OF/rotating OF positions every day. Plays min 3 games a week Larnach=DH/ Buxton=DH on 3rd day Gordon=LF/CF/2nd Utility player probably playing 2-3 games a week. Starting Infield Kirilloff=1b Polonco=2b Correa=SS Miranda=3b/1b/DH Farmer rotating SS/3b/2nd for days off=3-4 games playing each week We probably have the best defensive OF in the league with this group. There is no need to trade Kepler at all. We are very set for the lineup.
-
Lewis will be at 3rd, correa=SS and Lee will be at 2nd. Miranda will move to DH/1B/3B and Kirilloff will be 1b. This is going to be the starting infield probably 2024 or 2025. That is what i hope anyway. Martin/Julien/Polonco will be traded for reliver/SP at deadline/offseason.
-
I know i am a minority on this forum but i think our rotation is really good. Even the 7/8/9 SP we have are good. I want them to trade for and sign every single power arm there is out there for the bullpen. The Bullpen is the weakest part of the team. But we also need Rocco learn what a Long man is in the bullpen. So they can pitch 2-3 innings after he pulls the SP after 4-5 innings. Look at Houston this year and how they used the pitchers.
-
Chris is broken, we don't need that man child on our roster. This would completely destroy any morale we have left for the team. He is a black hole.
-
We don't need a SS, just go with Farmer until Lewis is ready. Try and get Rodon but the only way we get him is if we stupidly overpay and give him the terrible 7 years he wants. He does not want to pitch for us, he wants to pitch for a contender. He is also no worth the 30mil a year.

Rumor: Bogaerts has gone to San Diego
Byrdman replied to Doctor Gast's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
With the cost of this signing you can pretty much say the Twins are not going to sign CC. Unless they cough up a 8yr/300mil contract. We all know they will not do that. I say sign Inglesis and find 3 shutdown bullpen arms. You could make a run at Rodon now, but he is going to be 30mil a year. -
Can the Twins Count On Starter’s Health?
Byrdman replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Well it has to work. There is virtually no one we can sign that are any better except for 2. Verlander and always injured Degrom. Rodon is not the answer. We have a good rotation with some good backups if injury happens. I want the Twins to sign/trade for some high profile shutdown bullpen arms. Literally everyone could be replaced.- 21 replies

15 Free Agent Starters the Minnesota Twins Could Target
Byrdman replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Every pitcher is flakey and unpredictable. You question is the same for any player in 2023. Everyone has a bad year. Edwin is literally the best option for us in the pitchers market right now. Having Lopez and Diaz at the back end would be pretty awesome. -
Record Starting Contract on the Twins Docket Next?
Byrdman replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
How about we stop making starting pitching articles and completely over haul our bullpen. Our starters are a good group if they can stay healthy. But the bullpen is not so much. Lets make a big splash and drop a 3yr/54mil signing for Edwin Diaz for one of the best closers in baseball.- 38 replies

15 Free Agent Starters the Minnesota Twins Could Target
Byrdman replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
How about this, We don't sign any of these guys. We drop 51mil/3yrs on Edwin Diaz to closeout games. Literally one of the best, if not the best, closer in baseball. -
15 Free Agent Starters the Minnesota Twins Could Target
Byrdman replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
All of them are not any better than Sonny. If you feel we need one for depth do so otherwise our starters are a very solid bunch, despite what this forums says. -
Ranking the 2023 Free Agent Shortstop Class
Byrdman replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Nick Gordon will start the year as the SS until Lewis is ready. I said this last year as well. So lets hope it does the same and we get Correa again!- 52 replies
