Herrmann has yet to play at Triple-A, and wouldn't see much time in the bigs, so Rochester might be the best place for him at the outset. Herrmann hasn't had a very good spring - again, in extremely limited duty - but his versatility as a catcher and outfielder would also be a nice thing to have on the bench. In that case, I wouldn't imagine that Colabello survives April unless, again, the Twins were to demote Butera.Īn extreme longshot would be Chris Herrmann. I could also see Colabello sticking as the 25th man if the Twins went with a shorter pen out of the gates. That seems unlikely due to Doumit DH'ing regularly, in my opinion. One of them would be only carrying two catchers (Mauer-Doumit). I could see Chris Colabello making the team as a bench masher with a few conditions. I think the rest of the lineup is pretty much no-brainers, barring health issues. It may not be pretty early, but in a year which will likely be about growing as a team, Hicks will be given every opportunity to stick. I think Hicks has pretty much cemented his spot in centerfield, as well as hitting leadoff. There isn't an adequate sampling of what's to come, and a lot of times you're facing a team's fifth LOOGY or a high-A reliever in the eighth inning of a 9-2 game. ![]() Is the guy picking up signs properly? How is he carrying himself in situations? Personally, I like this approach because spring training stats aren't really substantive. But the Twins don't worry as much about numbers - especially in the case of young players - in spring as demeanor. I could see Dozier sent out and Carroll and Escobar sharing second, as the spring hasn't been all too kind to the converted shortstop (.226/.314/.323 line). I don't really know.īut today I figured we might as well take a look at how this season will open up, because I think there'll be a few more than 25 names in play when the Twins make some likely difficult roster decisions. Maybe it makes Opening Day feel that much real and closer? Maybe it's fun to pretend to be a GM for a few minutes? Or maybe it's just super interesting to think about how the local nine will play out this season. I don't exactly know why I like it so much. ![]() I think we do a good job of that in season two going forward.One of my favorite things to do during spring training is to write up what I think the 25-man roster will look like when Opening Day - I capitalize it because it's a holiday - comes around. The problem is that there are consequences with someone dying, no matter who it is. Death isn’t a gimmick, it’s not a character you loved or a character you tweeted about constantly or that you ‘shipped with someone is now dead. We have to understand now the importance of death. What we’re coming to on the show is we can’t keep trying to one-up every death. That’s going to be what’s different about going toward the end of the season – seeing the toll that has been taken on all these people who you’ve loved and have them see that maybe Murphy wasn’t so off, that maybe he just got to where everybody else was a little quicker.įinn’s death was quite a twist. I think the more important thing isn’t the blood spilled, it’s going to be the consequences of that blood for the people who spilled it. ![]() I think I can say without getting in too much trouble that there’s going to be a lot of blood on a lot of hands. Harmon: ( Laughs.) You know our show well. How bloody and deadly are things getting? ![]() We’re past the halfway point now in the season, and we’re slowly marching toward the big climactic battle and the planned Mouth Weather rescue.
