    Why do their ages matter so much when both players have been in the org under 30 days? Especially Ryan, who just came back from the Olympics with massive lay-offs between pitching opportunities. The Twins have never seen him pitch in person or coached him. It's pretty reasonable they didn't ship him straight to Minnesota from Tokyo. With that said, I'd try *really* hard to find a way to get both, at minimum one, of them pitching in Minnesota in the next 7-10 days.

    I mostly agree, I simply haven't looked at the current IL to see who they might actually lose. But given the overall quality of this team, particularly the pitching staff, I don't think I'd have too hard a time removing 3+ names from the 40-man without thinking about it too hard.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    You're right, I flipped Strotman and Ryan without thinking. Strotman has the 40-man spot and will likely be in line before Ryan.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    My guess is: Dobnak, Ryan, Strotman. Dobnak may bump back down if he's not stretched out enough and/or has a setback but I think the Twins are loathe to starting adding pitchers to the 40-man willy-nilly because they have sooooooo many players on the 60-day IL and have so many hard decisions to make. I think they want to be really confident in any 40-man addition before pulling the trigger on a new player being added.

    Yeah, this sucks for everyone involved. The Twins have no respectable, controlled pitchers for next season and Maeda's contract is so incentive-based that he goes from being a ~$10m player to a $3m player if he misses 2022.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Wow, I knew the curve flattened but 49-312 only has a gap of 5 FV. I mean, it makes some sense because there are always Brian Doziers and damned good players hiding just beyond the limits of that 100 list but damn, that gap is *so small*.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Using MLB performance isn't a fair measuring stick, though, because just look at this guy: Analysts, including the highly paid and informed ones employed by teams, can only use the information they have on hand at the time and, as we all know, baseball is a helluva sport with wildly unpredictable outcomes, much moreso than any other major sport.

    Well, who should Ryan rank above in the Twins system, for example? Here's Twins Daily's list. I'm not trying to be difficult, only to illustrate how elite top 100 prospects are. Ryan ranks below Miranda, who (sometimes shockingly) still doesn't crack midseason top 100 lists. I can't fathom ranking Ryan above Miranda right now. So who gets bumped? Now we need to bump a couple of guys. Balazovic? Nah, not gonna bump him for both Ryan and Miranda. No way do Martin & Lewis (comedic duo) get bumped. My point being that it becomes a lot harder once you start using real names and prospects.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    I think you're underrating what it means to be a top 100 prospect and how many good prospects lay outside that top list. Being #100 on a list means he's, on average, the 3.333 best prospect in the average farm system. On Twins Daily's own prospect list, Ryan is.... seventh. The Twins have a good farm system but it's not elite. Ryan can't even crack the top five.

    While I can wiggle my way through the other questions without hurting my brain (eg. "don't play Gordon at SS if you're already comfortable in your understanding of his ability" or "Miranda will cause 40-man ugliness if added here and now and you have other plans"), this one breaks my head. Cave is a bad-hitting, LEFT-HANDED, tweener defender. He has no place on this team going forward.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    I've heard a fair amount of murmurs that the team doesn't listen to Buxton much anymore, as he'd try to crawl onto the field with one functioning leg, only to injure himself again. So I'd wager he was against a rehab stint but hopefully he's also smart enough to realize he's not a great advocate for his own well-being.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Exactly. Case in ****ing point, this guy. Who does he even think he is, anyway?

    Twins Daily has been talking about video internally for the past... 5+ years... or more... But as you may have noticed, we finally started dabbling in video around the trade deadline, only dipping our toe in for starters. We had a few stops and starts and bumps along the way as we learned a lot about how to display video and integrate them into the site. We're definitely still learning and expect to see significant changes along the way but we've moved to the next step of video: a permanent page to present and archive all our videos! Right now, the bulk of the video content is from our own @Tom Froemming and his great (almost) nightly recaps but that's just the beginning, we have a lot more in the works from many names you'll recognize that we'll be rolling out in the coming months. As with the rest of Twins Daily, expect the same great, daily content that breaks down not only the Minnesota Twins but also their minor league affiliates, particularly the St Paul Saints and Wichita Wind Surge! You can also check out a few of our vintage Twins highlight reels with our partners at TC Media Now, of which we hope to expand upon in the coming months! Check out the new Twins Daily video page and let us know what you think!

    Wait, what? No way, Ramps B/C* are always available and easy access to TF. Lowertown can be a real nightmare at times. *Ramp A can be a nightmare and I try to avoid it

    I want the Jays and A's but that's a bit of a longshot. First and foremost I want to see Toronto make it because of their young, exciting team and it'd be fun to see Berríos in the postseason again.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, this year was a total system failure, no doubt about that. They not only played themselves into an insurmountable hole, they haven't bothered to actually play *well* for a prolonged period since that time, either.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I'd take the Saints ticket, if only for Buxton right here in the today and now.

    Louie Varland struck out seven more batters for Cedar Rapids tonight to put himself over the 100-strikeout mark on the season. Also, Nick Gordon hit a home run for St. Paul, Trey Cabbage and Spencer Steer went back-to-back to hit both of their 21st homers of the season and 5-8 catcher Jeferson Morales hit his first home run since being promoted to Cedar Rapids. The Twins were off Thursday, but here are some highlights from the prospects. View full video
