In the interest of keeping things positive, I should note that this opinion has nothing to do with a lack of quality in our current options. But I got to say it. I still miss Kelsie Smith. It's been,...

No they didn't. They were 75-67.

The irritating thing about people associated with the team telling writers that a minor leaguer showed up out of shape is that it's too easy to make jumps about a player's attitude or diligence....

Parks' awful bro-twee prose aside, I've come to appreciate his unambiguous preference for big tools and up-the-middle talent. So this was pretty cool. Highest ranking for a Twin on any of these lists...

Zero?

I think you're at risk of turning stats-speak orthodoxy into a shibboleth.

It was about as casual a mention of what Morneau offers a lineup as a GM could possibly muster. Moreover, it answers the...

Carlos Rodon?

Several times. And Mike Scott and J.R. Richard.

I saw him in August and I was really impressed with his defense. He had good range going back and towards centerfield, and his throws got surprising carry on them for somebody without big long arms....

Can you explain further about how this would work? I was under the impression that sales of Twins merchandise were part of the shared revenue pot, though I'm happy to be corrected on that point....

Nope. It was March. Unless after your comma you meant to write "was nine months after Mauer signed his extension."

Mauer signed his extension in March of 2010.

I agree that the stadium is pretty terrible, but that's not really a bad part of the city. It's kind of dead, but I don't think having a vibrant social scene outside of the park is really the...

I want to eat freely this holiday season without gaining any weight. Clicking on a post with a subject line featuring the names of two position players in the "On the Farm" forum isn't an efficient...

I wouldn't be too worried about it. He looked like a professional 5,000-10,000m runner a few years ago and now he looks more like a 1500m runner. Still kind of skinny even for a shortstop.

I have mixed feelings about what you've done here. It's definitely funny, but if this joke becomes a bummer then I'm going to go all frown-facey and change my name to Celebrity Divorces!

I'm comfortable with the possibility that there is a hypothetical player who is athletic enough to play third base in spite of throwing left-handed. I do not believe, however, that Chris Parmelee is...

BPro had an article series called "Raising Aces" about the mechanics of the pitchers drafted in the first round this year. Berrios showed up in the latest installment. It's behind the paywall, and...

White Sox fans used to say the same thing about Frank Thomas. In a few years, he'll be in the Hall of Fame and they'll be finishing fourth in the cornhole tournament their cousin Sean holds in his...

I think the trick we want here, if the objective is to pump the system up a bit, is to artificially lower expectations and then leap way over them. To that end, how about this for consideration
...

To clarify, he was ejected in one game and then hit a homerun in his next?

Because I was picturing a Bobby Valentine-esque Groucho disguise situation when I first read this, which I'm pretty sure...

Since I never get to have first-hand information, I'll re-mention this:

On the stadium gun in Bowie two starts ago, Hermsen sat 88-91 for most of the game. Seemed like he worked with less velocity...

A spot on the hot sheet definitely deserves it.

This looks like another first round pick that wont work out for the Twins.

I'm surprised at his GB% this season. When I saw him last week, Bowie had an impossible time elevating the ball against him. At the very least, it seems like a skill that's well in progress. He also...

That's not true. Parmelee, Hicks, Revere, and Benson all had between 200 and 250 plate appearances in the year they were drafted. Buxton has 102 so far, but if it weren't for the hamstring tweak he'd...
