Yesterday, 04:48 PMI don't think it's a hard date. It's on a percentage basis. I believe the player needs to be in the top 20% of his rookie class. If it's a...55 replies | 1171 view(s)

Yesterday, 03:28 PMcmathewson replied to a thread Draft Question: Who would disappoint you at #4? in Twins Minor League TalkIt depends on who's left. If Manaea is there, I'd be disappointed if they didn't take him. Ditto Bryant. I figure one or the other will be there. In...24 replies | 506 view(s)

Yesterday, 03:16 PMOdds are, it's Gibson because of the 40-man issue. If they had found some damage in Wood's shoulder, maybe. But the MRI came in clean. So they...22 replies | 2021 view(s)

Yesterday, 10:40 AMUltimately, the two are related. You can't win if all the players cost too much to keep them. Considering that we won't win this year, it makes sense...23 replies | 1297 view(s)

Yesterday, 09:38 AMI don't think you draft based on need. I have no qualms with drafting Buxton last year. Think of how much pitching we were able to acquire with...44 replies | 1989 view(s)

Yesterday, 09:30 AMI don't understand the Twins' reluctance. Both Berardino and Neal said after the game last night that the Twins are in no hurry to call up Gibson in...23 replies | 1297 view(s)

Yesterday, 09:16 AMHow much of the spike in velo is due to fast guns on the Cape? You rarely see a guy have that kind of a short-term spike without at least showing...44 replies | 1989 view(s)

05-19-2013, 12:00 PMIn the context of how they handle their pitchers, especially their prospects, it was preposterous. They rarely let guys throw more than 100 pitches....88 replies | 2722 view(s)

05-18-2013, 10:37 AMcmathewson replied to a thread Berardino: Mastroianni Out Awhile + My Twins Med Staff Rant in Minnesota Twins TalkI'd send down Ramirez and call up Richardson.

05-18-2013, 09:14 AMIt's never purely about results. It's mostly about whether Ryan's scouts think he's ready to get major league hitters out consistently. Ryan has...88 replies | 2722 view(s)

05-17-2013, 09:15 PMMy answer exactly. Of the two Berardino is slightly better 'cause he's more of a stats guy. I don't understand the fuss about LENIII. Sloppy and...24 replies | 552 view(s)

05-17-2013, 05:07 PMWell, it's good to see Buxton mentioned in the same discussions as Hamilton, Trout, and Harper. I doubt he has any one tool to equal their best...177 replies | 7270 view(s)

05-17-2013, 04:08 PMI don't care about how guys are rated. But it is odd that you say Upton had 80 power as a 19 year old and Buxton only has 70 speed. The only 80 power...177 replies | 7270 view(s)

05-17-2013, 03:59 PMI don't think they'd be rushing him. He's 25. He's paid his dues. Not all decisions are based on minor league numbers. If you think he'll get people...88 replies | 2722 view(s)

05-17-2013, 12:17 PMI agree that 100 should not be a rigid threshold. But I actually disagree about the way you calculate how much stress is on a pitcher per inning. I...88 replies | 2722 view(s)

05-17-2013, 10:41 AMIt's not binary. The question is whether he's more ready than Hernandez. The answer is emphatically yes. One bad outing doesn't compare with four bad...88 replies | 2722 view(s)

05-17-2013, 10:36 AMSo they'll take a risk with their top pitching prospect and give him more work than he's had in years just to save a AAA bullpen? That is insane. ...88 replies | 2722 view(s)
