    Twins starting pitchers other than Santana and Berrios have a combined 6.14 ERA in 43 games (including tonight). I'm amazed that the team has been this competitive when 3/5 of the rotation has been so weak.
  2. twins_89
    Seems like the money should be pretty close to slot value when considering the combination of Leach and Enlow, so hopefully the Twins still have most of the Lewis/Rooker savings to work with.
  3. twins_89
    At the end of the day I'd much rather have drafted Hunter Green, Sam Carlson, and Matt Sauer.
  4. twins_89
    Based on recent draft history the two options for the 1st pick have been to take the best player or to take a lower ranked player and use the money to grab a player who fell with the team's next pick. Since the Twins did neither of these I'm unsure what the plan would be. I guess they could have a plan, it's just not something that has been done before.

    This is the type of drafting a front office can get away with when they have a proven track record for success, it's a lot harder to be optimistic when the front office is new. Reaching for all 3 first day picks with no clear plan to use the saved money is not promising.
  6. twins_89
    So much for grabbing a player who fell at #35 or #37. I can't say I'm very impressed with the first day of the draft for the Twins.
  7. twins_89
    The strategy of getting above slot talent that slips at #35 isn't looking good at this point. Carlson and Kendall are about the only top 20 players still on the board.

    i wanted Greene, would have been fine with Wright, and could even see a case for Gore. I'm really disappointed with the Lewis pick and fear it's going to haunt the organization for the next decade.
  9. twins_89
    Falvey and Levine pass on pitching and reach for a high school SS. This is the kind of thing that will define their tenure in Minnesota for good or bad.

    This is the mother of all bullpen meltdowns. So far 3 outs, 11 hits, 3 walks, and 13 runs.
  11. twins_89
    The decision to put Santana back out there in 7th makes a lot more sense in retrospect.
  12. twins_89
    I honestly can't remember a worse bullpen performance. It's not often you see three relievers each give up 3 or more runs in the same inning.
  13. twins_89
    Now down 5 and still not out of the inning, so a rally looks like a long shot at this point
  14. twins_89
    This is far worse than what I thought the worst case scenario for the bullpen would be coming into the game. What's left of the bullpen couldn't even cover an inning in a game with a 6 run lead.
  15. twins_89
    It's going to suck if rain forces Breslow out of the game. All we have left then are the AAAA pitchers Wheeler and Rucinski (or maybe Belisle who threw 30 pitches yesterday).
  16. twins_89
    Santana's been pretty good today even though he doesn't seem as sharp as a lot his recent games. I'm curious to see if Wheeler gets a shot in the 7th.
  17. twins_89
    I didn't realize Arraez was out for the year. It sucks that two of the organizations top position prospects (Arraez and Kirilloff) are going to miss a season of development.
  18. twins_89
    Curios why Melotakis moved down from his pre-season ranking when it looks like he's been pitching really well this season? It just seems strange that a guy who by all accounts has good stuff and is successful wouldn't be higher on the list.
  19. twins_89
    It's a tough spot for a brand new front office, take Greene who is by most accounts the best prospect in the draft or go with the lower ceiling pick with less risk. The nightmare scenario is that in 4 years Greene is in the majors and looks like a superstar while the guy the Twins pick is a meh middle of the rotation pitcher. Personally, I go for the home run and draft Greene.
  20. twins_89
    Since the concussion Mauer has not been good, but due to lack of better options he kept his everyday spot. The question that really needs to be considered is whether he is currently a better option than Vargas/Grossman for 1B/DH at bats? I'm starting to seriously question whether Mauer gives the team the best chance to win games. I'm sure Molitor will give Joe more time to get on track, but at some point if the numbers don't turn around the question of Mauer's playing time will have to be faced.
  21. twins_89
    Hughes getting hammered in the 1st with hard hit balls. Without a couple really good Buxton catches that would have been a really ugly inning. So far Hughes isn't inspiring confidence in his ability to be a major league starting pitcher.
  22. twins_89
    Winning 3 while getting next to nothing offensively from Mauer, Buxton, and Grossman is encouraging. I'll be even more excited if Hughes looks like he can still be a legitimate starting pitcher.
  23. twins_89
    I was optimistic when the Twins replaced Ryan, but in his short stint Falvey's moves make me question his competence. Park was the best option at DH and it wasn't remotely close, so sending him to Rochester so the Twins can keep guys like Boshers, Danny Santana, and O'Rourke on the 40 man significantly reduces my belief in the front office. Add in the failure to upgrade the bullpen in the off-season and things don't look too good for Falvey.
  24. twins_89
    This is a signing I'd be very happy with if he was the 4th or 5th best player acquired this off-season, unfortunately he's the 2nd best acquisition.
  25. twins_89
    The free agent and trade moves by the Twins this off-season have made at best a minimal improvement to a 103 loss team. Even if the development of the young players goes well and the starting pitchers are less awful than last year I'm not all that confident that it will result in enough wins to get the Twins out of last place in MLB. If the records of other poor teams are similar to last year it would take an improvement of 10 wins to be able to say the Twins aren't the worst team in baseball (9 additional wins last season would have tied the Twins for the worst record).
