    You're right, there are just too many prospects coming in to keep track of.
  3. twins_89
    So the final returns for Escobar, Dozier, Pressly, Duke, and Lynn are by level: R: Rijo, Celestino A: Duran, Maciel, Costello A+: De La Trinidad AA: Alcala, Raley, Smeltzer, De Jong AAA: Austin If nothing else the added players should help Elizabethton, Cedar Rapids, and Fort Myers to compete for the playoffs in their respective leagues. EDIT: I forgot to add De Jong and Costello

    Based on a Wolfson tweet it sounds like the Twins intend to pick up Rodney's option for next season.
  5. twins_89
    I'd pass Forsythe through revocable waivers tomorrow and then give him a month of regular playing time and see if he can regain the production he had in 2015-16 with the Rays. Maybe there is a slim chance he could be traded again in August for a lottery ticket prospect.

    Based on the trade return, I really wonder if the Twins overplayed their hand in Dozier trade talks. If the rumored Brewers interest was real I have a hard time believing we couldn't have gotten a better deal from them (before they traded for Moustakas). Milwaukee needed a 2B a lot more than a 3B and they gave up a considerably better package.

    Based on the trade return, the Twins must have already made the decision not to offer Dozier a QO.
  8. twins_89
    Dozier has pretty much played himself out of trade consideration with his terrible post all-star hitting. Combine that with very few (if any) trade destinations remaining and I'm beginning to doubt that he gets moved.
  9. twins_89
    I wonder if Rodney throwing 97-98 mph fastballs by Ramirez and Alonso convinces other teams he still has his good stuff and gets someone to pull the trigger on a trade for him.
  10. twins_89
    Sano with a good AB, hopefully tonight can get him going at the plate.
  11. twins_89
    If someone asked me what the Fernando Rodney experience is, I'd tell them to watch his last inning.
  12. twins_89
    The good side of the FRE, he goes after Ramirez and strikes him out. That's impressive.
  13. twins_89
    Why are they pitching to Ramirez?
  14. twins_89
    The FRE on full display with a lead off 4 pitch walk.
  15. twins_89
    When Magill got called up I thought he was just another AAAA pitcher, but I'm starting to believe he could actually be a solid bullpen arm for the next couple of years. His stuff is a lot better than I expected.
  16. twins_89
    Twins outfield defense not having a good night.
  17. twins_89
    Duran with a great first start in Cedar Rapids, went 7 no hit innings with 8 KO.
  18. twins_89
    Grossman manages to turn a double into an easy triple.
  19. twins_89
    It's sad to say, but Santana is looking frighteningly similar to low-velocity Hughes. He's trying to be a junk baller and every mistake is getting pounded.
  20. twins_89
    Cave needs to stop trying to make the hero play, he just doesn't have the speed. That's the third ball in the last few weeks he's tried to make a tough play and ended up gifting the other ream with runs.
  21. twins_89
    Dozier must really want to stay with the Twins, he's tanked his trade value with his truly awful play since the all-star break.
  22. twins_89
    Santana's fastball has always set up his off-speed stuff, without a good fastball he just isn't able to get swings and misses. Tonight he only has 2 swing and miss pitches out of the 72 he's thrown.
  23. twins_89
    I wonder if this signals that the Logan Morrison experiment is coming to an end.
  24. twins_89
    Austin hits right handed and is hopefully a better defensive RF than Grossman (which isn't a hard bar to clear). He was once considered a decent prospect, so maybe he can show something over the next couple months as a platoon guy at 1B/RF against lefties. The Twins also add another lottery ticket type guy in Rijo (they seem to be stocking up on 19 year olds). Probably fair to say it's a little better return than I expected for Lynn.
  25. twins_89
    Neither guy coming back makes the Twins top 30 prospect list and I suspect De Jong gets DFAd at the end of the season (if not before) to make room for players that need rule 5 protection.
