Trekgeekscott -> RE: Twins 2025 Game Day (9/26/2025 11:24:28 AM)

Since our season effectively ended on July 31st I don't see why we can't get this offseason prediction shit underway now.
Here's what I think is going to happen:
Starting Rotation.
Ideally they keep Pablo Lopez and add a FA or another pitcher via trade and have Lopez, Ryan, Ober, New guy and Zebby/SWR
What will happen
Twins will trade Pablo Lopez and start next season with a rotation of Ryan, Ober, Zebby, SWR and Bradley. A couple of the young guys will start the year at AAA, but a bunch will get shots at the bullpen .
Bullpen
Need to sign/trade for about 4-5 bullpen arms
What will happen
As I mentioned above we will use some of the young pitchers out of the bullpen, grab some has been/never was off the trash heap and pray it rains rose pedals and sugar candy.
C - Jeffers should stay, but they need a bridge until one of the two young catchers we got in the fire sale is ready for the majors in a couple/few years.
What will happen
We keep Vasquez too. despite all his shortcomings.
1B - We really need a regular guy at the position. Need a new one.
What will happen,
They giftwrap the job for Kody Clemens and keep Eddy Julien around as a backup.
2B - Keaschall's to lose, hard to get this one wrong, but I'm sure they will try
ss - I'd like a better defensive guy here but I am guessing it's Lee's to lose.
3B - Royce Lewis's to lose - but they need a vialbe backup for the first 60 or so games of the year after Lewis messes up his quad or hammy again
LF - I see one of the rookies starting the season probably here...Most likely Jenkins with Gonalez followed by Fedko and Rodriguez waiting in the wings...but they will giftwrap the job for Austin Martin to begin the year.
CF - Buxton is locked in here for the next few years unless they can convince him to waive his no trade clause. He'd never be more valuable that he is right now.
RF - Probably Wallner - Even though he's a left handed version of Miguel Sano. but again young OFs ready for the show are knocking hard on the door.
DH - well, I kind of like this spot the way Rocco uses it, to give his guys a pseudo night off in the field but keep the bat in the lineup.
Coaching staff - most should be fired but they will keep all the wrong guys, including Rocco. They'll use the excuse that they were dealt a bad hand.
I do have to say that the aggressive approach they've started to take on the bacepaths intrigues me. I like them stealing more bases etc.
Front office - Should be shitcanned too, but will keep their jobs....why? because they will keep tightening the pursestrings as instructed by their cheap ass lowlife scumsucking retarded monkey brained dipshitted ownership.
