Wheeler

Tim Wheeler is what Brandon Nimmo wants to be when he grows up.
Three Hundred total bases in a season is insane.

by acerimusdux on Jan 12, 2026 4:01 AM EST reply actions  

Nimmo

would probably be in his 3rd season of AA if he is still there at age 23, Wheeler’s age in AA last year.

Not that I’d vote for Nimmo over Wheeler. 300 TB is nice, although it is a counting stat. Not to denigrate it, becase it is impressive. His wRC+ was 134 after being 91 at age 22 in high A.

I’m voting Rosario this round due to the second base possibilities, although i know there is a history of Twins who hit well in rookie ball who never really followed up. John likes him as well, though, and I’m inclined to have him above Wheeler.

My next bandwagon will be Catricala. :)
