    Why waste his service time if the guy is in a slump or needs a little time you have other options who are playing really well. We are only a week out from opening day start him in AAA/alternate site and let Rooker and or Garlick platoon with Cave
  2. High heat
    A couple of these guys should be moved at the trade deadline this year. Power is a great selling tool. You just have to many of these similar guys in the organization. well see how Sabato and Wallner do in there first full pro season I think both are going to be very good.
  3. High heat
    His brother had elite speed which added a dimension to his game that Nick doesn’t have and now that the elite speed is gone he is a rotational player at this point.
  4. High heat
    I think Blankenhorn might be a closer bet then Gordon! Gordon is just another 1st round pick who never developed. A light hitter without the ability to grind out at bats and doesn’t play elite defense at a premium position.
  5. High heat
    ACL tear in February give 4 months recovery and he should be able to swing Atleast by July. Likely no actual game time but time to focus on the swing and mechanics. Just a tough with a lost 2020 season already. 2 years without any real game experience is a major blow to development. Hopefully he can play some AZ fall league and or winter ball.
  6. High heat
    This time next year I have Sabato and Rortvedt Canterino at the top of this list! Of course Lewis won’t fall that far but those 3 are going to be big movers his season!
  7. High heat
    A read a lot of the same things about Delmon Young while a Devil Rays prospect! There is still as many questions marks on Kiriloff as Lewis. Kirilloff just has to show it at the majors! His meal ticket is his hit tool.
  8. High heat
    If everyone is healthy coming out of spring training Kirilloff should be sent to ST Paul. If there is an injury and Arreaz needs to be in the starting lineup elsewhere Kirilloff should be considered. Early on you want to get Rooker at bats and Arreaz playing time why not spend the few weeks and see what you have in those two along with getting Kirilloff everyday at bats at AAA, where he hasn’t played yet. I want to see Kirilloff Larnach and Lewis as much as anyone but with a lost last season and the CBA as it is some time in the minors while do some good.
  9. High heat
    Won’t ever be an elite defender or an elite bat but the plate discipline will get better and he is a big boy with a nice looking swing. The power will be there! I believe he is the long term answer at catcher
  10. High heat
    Buxton should hit ahead of Garver. Buxton on base allows Garver to see more fastball which he destroys!
  11. High heat
    Good podcast! We’ll see what spring training has to offer or sorts out! I believe with Nelson Cruz they need a 4th bench. Araez in LF, Rooker, Jeffers, Cave and either La tortuga or a capable SS. The last bullpen will be a rotation, in significant who is on the opening day roster l.
  12. High heat
    If Wes Johnson can work his slider magic on Duran to go with the splinker and big fastball he has #1 starter potential. I don’t think Jordan has that high of a ceiling.
  13. High heat
    Araez will get some at bats playing 2nd and 3rd early in the season as well but I think he will get the majority in LF. You want his bat in the lineup and that is the best spot to get him consistent ABs. Also there will be injuries and he will fill in for those where needed. The game isn’t played on paper there will be at bats to go around as the season progresses. Makes sense early to keep Kiriloff in the minors and save the service time and give Cave, Arraez and Rooker the LF at bats in April.

    A guy who looks like he has a powerful swing that keeps the barrel in the zone a long time. The wood bat transition can have its effects and the advanced pitching of pro ball. So I am not a big fan of putting guys high on prospect rankings who havent played an inning of pro ball. The lost 2020 season is tough especially if he has any kind of adjustment struggles or injuries. With that said he is a guy who could move quickly, he is already 23 has a mans body and all indications an advanced approach. we will see where he starts the season but might be a fast riser up Twins and national prospect rankings. 2021 might be the most interesting season for prospect watching with all the minor league changes and the complete lost 2020.
  15. High heat
    Like the signing because of the solid upside and consistent effectiveness when healthy. Wish it was a minor league deal with higher incentives so we would have a chance to look at him during spring training and get a better idea of where he is at health wise. I guess the Twins think he is healthy and ready to role! Might be the end for Thorpe tho!
  16. High heat
    Is there an amount of time a player must stay on the 40 man roster? Is he again placed on waivers for Colume?
  17. High heat
    Major league deal or minor league deal with incentives at big league level? If it’s a major league deal no thank you! If it’s a minor league earn it deal I’m all for it!
  18. High heat
    Wow Jose Miranda looks like he has put on 50 lbs! 2 years ago he was a thinner athletic build. In that video he looks hefty! Hopefully it doesn’t effect his defense and the versatility! Ben Rortvedt is the guy on this list! Very good defensive catcher would have been taken in the rule 5 if not protected because he can play major league defense right now. Very strong athletic kid if he can make some adjustment to his swing path watch out! He could shoot up this list
  19. High heat
    Disregarding the lovable personality and physic, I don’t understand why people don’t see value in his unique skill set. A guy who can catch and play 3rd 1st and LF and you do t have to give regular at bats to. even if it’s subpar has value. Offensively he can put the bat on everything, just a small amount of plate discipline he could be a very productive hitter. During the course of the season we are going to run into injuries and Arraez will have to fill in. Who do you call up after Blankenhorn? How about if Garver or Jeffers has a short term injury? I just see many cases were have his versatility could be a value during the long season.

    I think they will keep tabs on Odo and maybe even the big maple. But that price has to be a extreme bargain. They might still move on another reliever again if the price is right
  21. High heat
    Hopefully there is a little $ left for a reliever!
  22. High heat
    I’m a 1 year 8 million with a mutual option for year 2. Maybe you add a buy out for a million of 2 for year 2. I’m ok walking away as long as it’s soon enough to bring in a starter like the big maple
  23. High heat
    The more and more I read and think about this I don’t want Cruz back. Sooner rather then later the shoe is going to drop. There are solid to good hitters that will likely take a minor league deal or few million big league deal. Take the $ and go get the big Maple and sign a cheaper DH who can also play in the field and still have $ for a decent reliever. To me it seems that Cruz is going to cost a starter and a decent reliever. Pitching still wins in the league and I’m not sure Cruz is a good bet to duplicate his past 2 seasons. Don’t pay for past performances!
  24. High heat
    3 complete unknowns on this list, will be interesting to follow them going forward. Miranda has always intrigued me but he has never put it all together. He physically looks like a ball player who can play all over the infield. Maybe this season he will put it all together and the bat will advance and stick for an extended period. Sand flat out has to stay healthy to get experience and progress. The complete lost season of 2020 for many of these young guys may be detrimental. Especially for those who missed 2019 or miss time in 2021 due to injuries. Hope he can stay healthy and progress.

    Bryant starting the season as the left fielder and moving around to DH 3B and 1B as needed isn’t that exactly what Marwin Gonzalez did his first season? We called him the utility man. Yes Polanco would also be the utility man but you could use 2 utility men using the DH to rotate players through. You would still have 10 men rotating thru regular at bats. With Bryant would let you give more off days to guys like Donaldson and still have him DH But either way I don’t think it happens for Bryant in MN
