The key to my success is the depth that I have. Very few teams have 4 plus starters on their bench plus extra starting pitchers. Yours is one of the few others and your team is also quite well. I...

Sano doesn't want to be the #2 prospect in the Twins system or in the entire MLB.

May with another poor performance. 5IP, 6K, 5BB, 100 pitches, 59 strikes

Vargas with #8.

It makes sense if the guy that they are taking is still #5 or #6 on their draft board but projects in the #7-10 range.

I'm not sure if you're aware but the Twins can spend an extra 750ish K...

It doesn't make sense at all nor is it really true. Aside from the 3 2012 draftees almost all of Houston's good prospects are starting at High A and could be in AA this year. Additionally it...

All you need to do is ask where he fits on the QB depth chart. He's going to be carrying a clipboard for a year or two from what I understand. 4+M is a lot of money also. If he was talking about...

Shipley is like a survivor on my draft list. Manaea has been dropping. Meadows (and Frazier to a lesser extent) have been dropping. Moran hasn't really impressed me. At this point Shipley is...

The problem is that underslot pick appears to be a HS catcher which looks to be in the next tier of talent. Considering the Twins pitching need I think Stewart is almost a lock to be picked but...

I will happily take a top 50 prospect for my 20th keeper. It was such a difficult choice between Wood Arrieta, Bass and Magic Santana (traded). But it's just a part of my wheeling and dealing...

I will be thrilled if Appel, Gray or Bryant fall to the Twins.

Stewart is my current choice at #4.

I will be waiting in the 'I told you so' section if they pick Manaea. It could work and the...

I read somewhere that Morneau hired a prominent motivational speaker this offseason to work on his clutchiness. That accounts for the improvement from .625 OPS last season to .764 this season. Word...

I'm speechless.

People just need to remember that if you never played baseball you clearly don't know anything about baseball. It's also impossible for someone to have both studied baseball and played baseball. ...

Do you want another question? :)

Whoosh...

if they don't mean anything then why are you curious?

ESPN has the Twins with 30 HR's and opponents with 35 HR's. It kind of sucks to hit at 30F so that is probably one factor.

Willingham will start mashing and Plouffe could go on a (shorter) hot...

a) He's currently significantly better than any other reasonable option the Twins have at 1B other than moving Mauer there. So he does make the Twins better even if he's not great.

b) Fans do...

Before alarm bells start going off about pitch count it should be noted that college pitchers get 6 days of rest and it's pretty common that they have higher pitch counts than MLB pitchers with 4-5...

Hicks has done enough recently to stay up with the big league team. He's also the only real CF option so we would be stuck with him regardless.

I'm giving Parmelee another month because I don't...

At this point in his development I would put him between Hendriks and DeVries as far as ability. Hendriks was pretty awesome statistically at a similar level but he was lacking the mythical 'stuff'....

Good to see you again.

I'm becoming less impressed with Polanco's athleticism. He sounds more like a guy that will be okay at 2B defensively rather than a SS option. The 3B's and SB's is an odd...

The difference is that Morneau is loved by fans, players and the FO. This team has made some good baseball moves that have been unpopular with the general public and they have made some questionable...

Colabello - 2 doubles and a BB - He might be 29 but at some point I hope he gets some MLB AB's. It's still a bit of a longshot but perhaps he's the placeholder 1Bman for a couple of years instead of...

The current version of Morneau is unlikely to bring back a top 100 prospect even if the Twins picked up the entire contract in July. If the Twins can get a top 100 prospect then I'm in favor of...

That's not at all what you have said in this thread nor what I have disagreed with. You have directly said that his power tool is comparable to Justin Upton's. that is false.
