  1. I think the Twins best 3 infielders are Correa, Lewis and Lee which pushes Miranda and/or Julien to 1B and Martin to the outfield. I'm not sure Correa is going to be a better SS than Lee for much longer. I need to see some reps but usually you bet on the young player at SS and move the older player to 3B. Lee might start at 2B - he has range and he's smart - because Lewis and his twice repaired ACL makes more sense at 3B. These are good problems to have.
  2. That would be a "rebroadcast, retransmission, or account of this game, without the expressed written consent of Major League Baseball"
  3. In hindsight it looks ridiculous that Campanella spent any time in the minor leagues at all. He was an estabilished Negro League star with 3 All-Star game appearances. His statistics agree that he was not challenged at those levels. What a waste of over 2 seasons of his short career.
  4. Caleb Thielbar has been a great comeback story. He should be very proud of what he has accomplished. Still, time eventually wins with everyone and the organization should be ready to cut him loose if his production slips.
  5. If he's behind Randy Dobnak on a depth chart his chances of an MLB career are very slim. Balazovic hasn't had a good season since 2019 in A-ball. He was mediocre in Double-A in 2021 and horrible last year in AAA. The only reason to think he had a shot at MLB this year is the fact that he's on the 40-man roster.
  6. 7 years existing on a minor league baseball player's paycheck is going to eat up a $500,000 bonus.
  7. At this point I think they'd be happy to take the $100,000 for the Rule 5 claim.
  8. Draft picks go bust all the time. The Twins got Wallner, Steer, Canterino, Headrick, Julien and Varland out of the 2019 draft which more than makes up for Cavaco. 2020 was a small draft but Raya makes up for missing on Sabato. I think they deserve some slack drafting based on a month's worth of data in 2020.
  9. If you look at his college numbers you wouldn't predict 140 strikeouts a season but that's what he's done in the minors.
  10. Was hoping for more Sunshine Superman in the article. Husker Du Sunshine Superman - YouTube
