Which appears to be the trend in the latest couple of drafts and trades by the Twins, no? Outside of feeling beholden to drafting what appeared to be a potentially superstar talent in Buxton.

Looks like Herrmann took his good play while up with the Twins back to Rochester. Seems like he's been listed in the hitting notes for every game since going back down.

Dozier seems to be trending up at the moment where Florimon is trending down. But they've still got 3.5 months of baseball to play to see if the trends continue.

I've been happy with Dozier's...

Liriano column at SportsOnEarth: What's behind Francisco Liriano's resurgent season? | SportsonEarth.com : Howard Megdal Article

It'll be interesting to see if this lasts. Everyone here knows he...

Is Carroll a potential release candidate? I like him defensively, but his offense has been worse than terrible this year. He's got a .520 OPS. Hicks (.575) and Dozier (.603) have both been bad...

I have to agree with this. Parmelee's build just seems a little different such that he doesn't look like somebody who should be able to run, but he actually moves fairly well. He's no burner, but...

Isn't that kind of the point? Some people are just better at some things than others. Maybe his pace should be getting to AA this year. It's not about it being a race, per se. It's about letting...

I really liked Walker in the game yesterday. He made an acrobatic catch near the end of the game, and he stole a base comfortably. I'm really intrigued by someone with his power who's actually an...

If he rakes in AA I wouldn't be totally shocked if he got a September call-up. Lord knows the fans are definitely wishing for something to get excited about, you want them to come back out to the...

I've seen this numerous times already in the discussion about Eades. 77 strikeouts in 96 innings. He's not the top flamethrower in the draft obviously, but can't miss bats? That's 7.2 k/9 which...

Does it matter? :p

We have two ridiculously good prospects, and which one is better doesn't make much difference to me. The raving about Buxton going on is pretty cool, but man, Sano is just...

I went with Stewart for this. Seems like he has the highest upside. We have plenty of depth in our farm system right now, I'd rather see them add more high-end quality than gambling on McGuire + ?...

It'd be a disappointment to not get a pitcher, but I'm more confident (if WAGs from the uninformed can actually contain confidence, anyway) in Kris Bryant being a legit player than the other choices....

The time to send him back to AAA was a month ago. He appears to be figuring things out now, and while he's got a long ways to go yet, I'm no longer certain going back helps him develop as a player. ...

I kind of like this notion. Has Gardenhire ever done a platoonish lineup, same players, just different spots in the order depending on a righty or lefty starting? I can't recall it in Gardy's time,...

This is the post I find to be the thinking in line with mine. In a couple months we should have a few more candidates to dump from the 40-man to open up that spot, then we can call him up in...

Our current starters don't generate any excitement to see them pitch. And many of them are bad on top of being boring, at least so far. The only one who honestly gives any hope beforehand of...

Have you ever looked at Olympic sprinters? Those guys are ripped. It's about putting on the right kind of muscle and using it properly. If he does nothing but add weight, sure, he might slow a...

He's going to get way more at-bats left-handed than right-handed if he remains a switch-hitter, so as encouraging as last night was we still have a long ways to go before we know what Hicks can be. ...

Remember that time long ago when it seemed the Twins outfield was going to be too crowded, so they traded away a couple of their major league starters to start making room?

Buxton, Arcia, Hicks...

I've come to this conclusion about the Twins this season: I pretty much have no idea what's going to happen.

That's an improvement after the last couple years when I could mostly count on...

Pure speculation, but I can't help wondering if the presence of Buxton in the Twins system now isn't good motivation for Sano after a couple years of being the defacto best prospect by a good margin....

After two terrible seasons, it's somewhat understandable to set low expectations and hope for a pleasant surprise. But I like your sentiment, let's see where the season takes us before declaring it...

This seems like it would be such a fun team to watch. I have relatives in Iowa which made me wonder about making a trip at some point, but they're way up in the Northeast part of Iowa, so it would...

What kind of prospect is Antoan Richardson going to be? I had noticed his stolen bases already when glancing through stuff, but I honestly had never even heard of him before. Just looking at his...
