Let's remember we traded what was it, two months of Berrios for SWR and Martin.  Martin is showing us he is a solid player with a very good future.  More important, he gives the Twins lineup a much different look.  

I pray that SWR takes the bull by the horn today and never looks back.  Doesn't have to become a #1 or #2 starter, but a solid middle of the rotation starter would be AOK, at least for me.

We traded Berrios with a year and a half left of control. So we traded a year and a half of Berrios plus the QO pick for Martin and SWR. Right now advantage Toronto but that could change as early as this year.

All correct, except there's no way it changes THIS year.

SWR should be in starting rotation for time being-looked great in 2 starts. Also with most our big guns signed long term, as well our draft picks in system/future looks great and not if but when another world championship happens.

i'd say his ceiling is an avg 4 starter.. but, right now he is Twins best option at #5 ..Varland has lost it

i'd say his ceiling is avg # 4 starter...but right now he is certainly pitching better than Varland.. send him out next rotation

Good for SWR. He's getting his chance at the relatively tender age of 23. I like his pitch mix and I think the added velo is very helpful.

You can say that again!

So far so good for SWR. (The guy needs a one syllable nickname) He looks calm and ready for his shot at just 23, that's pretty good. Nothing really jumps off the page, but he's got a nice pitch mix. He is fortunate to get his first three starts against strikeout prone Detroit and the, ahem, Southsiders lol. Just build from there young man.
