    Back end guy with potential to be a bit more for not a lot of cash. Sounds like a Twins pitching acquisition... That said, I don't mind the move. He's probably got enough to keep the team from rushing a prospect, yet not enough dough invested to keep him around if he doesn't.

    In order for this team to compete, and be legitimate competitors, the younger guys need to step up. That includes Larnach. While I'm still not overly concerned given his youth, he's still got to prove that he's real. He's had a promising spring, but he needs to carry that into the regular season before I'll get too excited. With all of the hit first corner types in the 40-man, and in the larger organization, some of them need to play well enough to be useful or to get traded.

    Great to see Pujols wearing the correct shade of red again!

      Yep -- he's on the short list of favorite non-Twins. I'm a Twins fan, obviously, but there's not many MLB experiences better than seeing the sea of red at a Cardinals game, and the love for Albert was palpable.

      I agree 100%.  He is a consummate professional.  In a perfect world he would have spent his whole career in St. Louis.

    Winder is likely to play a role in the Twins fate this season whether he's on the opening day roster or not. And if this team doesn't bring in any more rotation options, you have to fill out a rotation somehow. If he earns the spot, I don't know why you wouldn't let him pitch. He'll likely struggle like most rookies, so holding him back because of that is foolhardy.

    This is brilliant! Though, if this guy can pitch, he might be worth taking a look at! I won't be the one having to endure the death-by-small talk.

    It might take some time to get their rhythm, but I'm not too concerned about it.

    Good to be talking baseball from Ft Myers! Having been unable to actually catch any visuals, how have Martin and Lewis looked in their limited action this far?
  8. wsnydes
    I'm far more worried the pitching situation. DH isn't even in the rearview mirror. There's almost too many options to fill the spot... ...which leads me to my biggest non-pitching concern. How do all of these pieces fit together for a lineup? There's only one DH spot.

    You say that with such precision that it's almost like you have a very specific example that you have based it on. Like you've spent years studying it!
  10. wsnydes
    Ummm, what?!?!? The options kinda soften my excitement, but I'll take it! Wow!

    Well, if this article is any indication, I'm either going to save money on Scotch cause I gave up during Spring Training or spend a lot more on Scotch to tolerate the fact that I didn't give up during Spring Training.

    Good to see Lewis get in the lineup today.  Leading off, no less.  That could be interesting.

  13. wsnydes
    Right. I was never crazy about Astudillo's defense anywhere, but he could at least play in many places without completely embarrassing himself. And that works fine in a pinch. And yes, I pretty much view Sanchez the same way as you.
  14. wsnydes

    And so it begins!  We've got baseball!

  15. wsnydes
    This is one of the few things that I liked about having Astudillo on the roster. He did provide flexibility in many ways, which I like.
  16. wsnydes
    I'm conflicted about this. Do I want a roster full of catchers or hit first corner types? Decisions, decisions...
  17. wsnydes
    Unless these guys are stopgaps for in-house players in the minors, I'm not interested. Even in that scenario, I'm not sure that I'm interested.
  18. wsnydes
    Considering that he's a hit first player with no defensive skills moving from an extremely hitter friendly park to a more balanced park, I'm guessing that the odds of a scenery change helping are minimal. Of course, if he's on the roster, I really hope that I'm very wrong.

    I wish that I could unread this comment...
  20. wsnydes
    Could be both. You said that Toronto doesn't blow away TC in your mind. I simply noted that perhaps it does in Berrios'. Everyone likes different things and has other priorities.
  21. wsnydes
    It's not a preconceived notion if the mindset evolves from the actual negotiations.
  22. wsnydes
    Perhaps in his mind it does?
  23. wsnydes
    Realism has to enter into the conversation at some point. When it becomes abundantly clear one side doesn't have interest in an extension, the mindset must adjust.

    If this FO has taught me anything, it's that the offseason isn't over until it's over.
  25. wsnydes
    I've liked what I've seen from Jeffers, generally, when he's gotten consistent playing time. But I haven't seen enough to say that I'm sold he'll continue that way. That's where I hesitate with this.
