@brett_johnson91 A lot of people saying he's bad defensively haven't seen what Ron Washington has done with him this season. 9 outs above average, 5th overall in baseball. I'll take that defense and a .799 OPS any day of the week.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@NickNelsonMN 100% agreed. The starting pitching is going to be there. The offense isn't anything special, but when you have multiple guys at St.Paul with an OPS north of .900, there are some options there. Helps that the AL is terrible, but I think this team can stick around in the hunt.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@SKORNorth @DexsTweets I think JT Realmuto's contract is the starting point (3 years, 45 mil). Jeffers is much better offensively and the new ABS system plays to his strengths.

@thetwinsguy @VIkesin18 Fedko isn't on the 40 man, Kreidler is. Sometimes it is as simple as that.
Also Outman would have to be DFA'd, while Wallner has an option.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@Baumcj30 Oh, I like that! He's got a full arsenal but can condense it down. He had a really good 2024 and was really set back by injuries last year.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@TwinsRadio I think the 3 hits puts him at 799 for his career too. Not a list, but his next hit will be his 800th.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@KWR14_MyrtleBch @thetwinsguy This is dumb. Even if you have Jenkins/Emma at AAA, you need a RH option. Martin's approach looks amazing and his defense is much improved after working w/ Sizemore.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@Baumcj30 He's been demoted before, it didn't wreck him. Bring up Emma for an everyday opportunity.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@tlschwerz James Outman. Kriedler can be a super utility in the OF and IF, plus RH bat. I know that means you'd have to DFA Outman, but plenty of OF lefty bats in the organization.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@J_D_Cameron Yeah you're not moving Larnach/Austin off their LF platoon, they are both feasting. Buxton at CF. Wallner not playing great, but you have to give him a shot to face more righties. You're not moving one of the top guys up without everyday at bats. Be patient Twins fans.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@tlschwerz Kriedler just stays up as a super utility

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@TalkinTwins Didn't even check his splits. He's terrible against lefties.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@OleKevin @jeje66 Throwing 96 in the 7th when the temps are in the mid 30's

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@NickNelsonMN Glad I'm not alone. I though Kid Rock took the RFK workouts a little too far for a second.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@SleeperMLBTwins Took the youngest and most experienced guy and gave him the hardest gig of having to enter in middle of the game. Definitely interested to see how he performs starting the game from the get-go with a normal warm up/prep.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@NickNelsonMN Martin dealing w/ a concussion right?

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@NickNelsonMN I just think you have two oft injured guys at 3rd and SS that you need someone who can play both positions. Kreidler played neither position last year and has never had an OPS north of .500 in the big leagues. I don't think Kriedler playing OF helps much with the roster currently

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@NickNelsonMN Yeah I have almost exactly the same, I just think they might prioritize Wagaman with no options over Martin. Don't know a ton about Wagaman 's defensive prowess but know he can play 3rd as well.

[Daniel Chase @danielchase05]

@battl2heaven @thorku Offset language is for the next year's cap. I think we save 4 million from Hargrave and 8 million from Allen. Not save, but credited next year.
