    Thanks.

    This used to always confuse me too. I finally found something that explains it. The minor league portion has two phases - AAA phase and AA phase. For the AAA phase, the player has to be AA or below, and the new club is required to keep him on the AAA reserve roster (but not necessarily on the AAA active roster) the entire season, or he goes back. For the AA phase, the player has to be A or below, with the same roster requirements (has to be on the AA reserve roster the entire season). That makes it slightly different than the major league phase, as players taken in that have to stay on the active roster all year and not just the reserve roster. For AAA teams the reserve roster can have up to 38 players; AA can have up to 37 players; A and below can have up to 35 players. For the major leagues, of course, the reserve roster is the 40-man roster. You say a player has to be "AA or below" to be eligible for the AAA phase of the Rule 5 draft. Does that mean any draft eligible player not on the Twins 38 man AAA reserve roster?

    Can a player's rep contact other teams at this point?

    Ask him how often he visits twinsdaily.com. Does he visit other sites? What's his perception of sites such as twinsdaily.com?

    1. Was the drafting of "power" arms in 2012 the beginning of a change in team philosophy? 2. What caused the failure of the "Tsuyoshi Nishioka experiment"?

    La Velle states "[t]here are indications" that some Japanese clubs would be interested in Tsuyoshi Nishioka if he were available this offseason. http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/171441591.html

    An article in the Beloit newspaper about that city's situation. Members of the organization mention some concern about whether Beloit will still be a minor league affiliate when the Player Development Agrement expires in 2020. “One thing where this could be beneficial is that maybe now some people will see that what the Snappers have been trying to do for the last eight years or so is something that we need to pay a little more attention to,” [snappers Chairman Dennis Conerton] said. “But when you see an affiliate leave for facilities that are better, you do start to wonder when the Player Development Agreement is up in 2020 will the standards change at all, and if we were to continue with Minor League Baseball in the Beloit community.” http://www.beloitdailynews.com/sports/snappers-must-replace-twins/article_d5f5f100-0329-11e2-8b27-001a4bcf887a.html

    AA New Britain also plays in the DC area that week, so that's an added bonus. They're at Richmond June 4-6 and at Bowie June 7-9.

    Twins official are expected to visit Cedar Rapids today. “We were not disappointed at all about anything with the Angels,” Kernels President Gary Keoppel said Sunday . . . "We determined as a club that this was a good time for us to try and get a Midwest affiliate. http://thegazette.com/2012/09/16/kernels-say-no-ill-will-toward-angels-twins-brass-expected-in-town-monday/

    "Florimon has kind of made the plays and shown some of the range that you really like from a shortstop, that Dozier didn't necessarily do," assistant general manager Rob Antony said Sunday, Sept. 16. "So it might be a situation where we still think Dozier can be a good player, but he may end up being a second baseman instead of a shortstop." "I'm very comfortable with him [Florimon] out there," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We're not going to name a starting lineup (for 2013) or anything like right now, or even later, but I really like him out there. I think there are things he can get better at ... but I like him. I like the way he moves, I like the way he watches. He pays attention. He's got great hands; he can makes some plays, with a strong arm." http://www.twincities.com/twins/ci_21557379/minnesota-twins-pedro-florimon-has-team-weighing-move

    Excellent. The Twins are finally coming to DC for a series.

    I thought this was interesting. Toby qualifies for the the team because Ron was born in Germany while his father was stationed there. I wonder if Toby has ever even been to Germany or speaks the language. http://www.leadertelegram.com/sports/article_404fb5ae-fbc8-11e1-b3ab-0019bb2963f4.html

    According to La Velle Neal yesterday, Kyle is scheduled to pitch Sunday for Fort Myers and the Twins are hoping he can pitch in Rochester before the end of the season. http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/blogs/165618926.html

    John Shipley also mentioned that scenario in his Pioneer Press article yesterday. The Twins also could waive or designate Nishioka for assignment, amounting to his outright release, but that seems unnecessary because he has options and the Twins don't need a 40-man roster spot right now. Also, because he's under contract to Minnesota, the Twins could recoup some money if Nishioka decided he was done with major league baseball. For instance, he could not return to Japan next season unless a team there bought his contract from the Twins.
