Twins33

Last year I was pretty close to the win total, unfortunately. I really like the rotation especially subtracting Bundy and Archer types. If they are relatively healthy, I see this team doing well. I say 92 wins.

Rodriguez or the #5 pick in the 2023 draft.

Alcala has 3 options remaining.

I sort of agree with the title but only because I’m not sure Miranda will ever be a good 3B. I think he’s a DH. I’m fine with him getting a shot though and Farmer/Lee/Lewis will be there if he fails.

I’d say Henriquez and Sands should absolutely be moved to RP. I’m torn on Winder, but it would probably be for the best. Ober needs to remain a SP.

Correa, Buxton, Polanco, Mahle, P. Lopez

Quote from a Twinsfest article (Dan Hayes-the athletic):

Blyleven, Hawkins and Santana are usually at spring training, working with pitchers.

I usually don’t have untouchable’s but Lee is mine. Prielipp could be too but that’s it. Hoping Lee is the Twins starting 3B for a long time.

Don’t have a horse in this one but like Cannon or Cermak

Really liking their first two picks

Hoping for Prielipp at 48

I’m typically a bat first guy (BPA though, always) but Berry was a “bat only” guy and blah at that.

Did not see it coming that Lee, Collier and Parada would all be there for the Twins. I’d be fine with any but prefer Lee

Give me Lee!

Yay, the Twins can’t take Berry (if they wanted to)

Did not see Rocker going #3. That helps the Twins as someone will fall. Hopefully even more than 1 guy.

I like watching the draft but these picks take way too long

There are 3-4 players I like. I don’t have an extremely strong preference which is odd because I usually do. Hoping someone falls to the Twins. Guess I’ll have to see who that might be when things get going. Absolutely don’t want Berry or Cross, but especially Berry.

It’s really hard to guess who will be there when the Twins pick. It seems like the only two who will not be there are Jones and Holliday. At this moment, Green is the one I hope falls to the Twins but there are about 3-4 guys I’d be happy with.

I picked Duran because I didn’t know what to expect. Figured he would take some time like Alcala I expected Ryan to do this, been on his hype train since the day the trade was made. And Winder impressed me in the minors last year so his start the other day wasn’t shocking either

Bats. BP being bad is not surprising. Starters being decent to good, also not surprising to me. I thought Ryan, Ober and Gray would be good. Archer was 50/50. Paddack I wasn’t sure because of the elbow but his FIP last year made me think he wouldn’t be horrible. Bundy is more shocking than anything else that has happened so far. No clue how he’s doing it. I won’t praise him too much unless he’s still doing it in June/July. Shoemaker and Happ had some good starts too.

62 times, unless I miscounted

Rocco isn’t any different than most managers. There are times he pulls too soon but he doesn’t do it more than others. Think that thought needs to go away
