Eiberson Castellano is our Rule 5 selection that will make the opening day roster, probably as the last slot in our bullpen. He was the Phillies Minor League Pitcher of the Year. This bullpen is crazy deep. It's gonna be quite a year for our pitching staff!

Bringing in pitchers from other organizations that leapfrog over our own prospects is kinda the Twins MO

It beats not bringing them in.

No shit! Better still would be doing a better job of drafting and developing our own pitchers. We have Ober, Jax and Sands to show for 9 years under Falvey.

No reason to swear at me.

---------------------------------------

Twins: Royce Lewis (26)
2024 leader: Carlos Santana (23)

Three of the Twins’ top four projected home run hitters -- Lewis, Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa -- all face the same question: Can they stay healthy enough to put up numbers that match their talent?

Keep an eye on … Matt Wallner (22): His contact quality is at the top of the scale, and he raked after returning from the Minors last July (.282/.386/.559 in 62 games).

Sounds like Rocco's Boys are in midseason form already.

Wallner and Lewis hit HR at roughly the same rate. My guess is they factored in the impact injuries had on Lewis' output. It's all speculation meant to drive debate.

I don't see France and Miranda as even dark horses. Miranda's power output is too sporadic. France has reached 20 once in his career.

Dustin was at the game yesterday. Did you see him?

Is he buying the Twins?
