  1. If healthy, and for a good contract, Josh Donaldson makes the most sense. As was stated earlier, he can play 3rd, 1st and DH. He fits in with Sano and Austin for those 3 positions, doesn't matter who really plays which one to me, excluding Austin at 3rd.
  2. Thanks for the great recaps Tom! And thank you Joe, it was pleasure watching you swing a bat!
  3. Can't argue against a single pick, great selections.
  4. 1 MVP, 6 Time All-Star, 3 Batting titles, 3 Gold Gloves, from a catcher! All this prior to signing his big contract. He deserved that contract. If it weren’t for the concussions, we would most likely be discussing Mauer with the greatest catchers to have ever played! It will be the end of an era once he decides to hang up his cleats.
  5. His velocity is down, his command of the strike zone is almost non-existent right now. I'd say that the thirteen million dollar decision has already been made.
  6. I’m with Jeremy on this one, the “closer” role needs to go the way of the dinosaurs.
  7. Another reason MOY shouldn’t be manager next year, Adrianza starting at 1st. Austin and Garver on the bench.
  8. Rooker's K % has dropped a ton in last month, and his walk rate has gone way up. Hopefully he can keep these trends either steady, or improve them. If he can maintain/improve, he could be real asset for the Twins sometime next year.
  9. Gonsalves is on the 40 man. http://m.mlb.com/min/roster/40-man/
  10. He would still out as a 2ndLt coming from the academy. He may have enough time in now to be a 1stLt, but he definitely isn't a Captain yet.
  11. Game 7 of the 1991 World Series was my 11th birthday. I still vividly remember watching that whole series. Two World Series, the pinnacle of Baseball, it has to be Kirby! I will say that the answer to this question will depend on when you grew up, child heroes reign supreme.
  12. The are receiving Chase De Jong (#16) and Ryan Costello (unranked). Rankings are via Baseball America.
  13. Kirriloff is destroying High A, could he hit himself into a brief AA appearance this season?
  14. Kirriloff at Cedar Rapids 333/391/607/999, and at Ft Meyers 353/377/534/912. Obviously Ft Meyers is suppressing power, as it does for everyone. He is striking out 16.3% at Ft Meyers and 18.7% at Cedar Rapids. Nice to see him move up and cut down the Ks. Almost all of his OBP comes from hits. Would just like to see more walks from him, but that is nitpicking, he is raking!
  15. I'm surprised with what seems like a large number of people's eagerness to move Lewis off of short, this is only his second season playing shortstop, and he is progressing pretty well defensively.
  16. I don't see how Larnach could possibly be ranked ahead of Rooker at this point. Rooker has already shown he is capable of hitting at AA, Larnach hasn't. I'm not saying Larnach can't move ahead of Rooker by the end of this year, just don't see how he can be ranked ahead of him right now. My list would go: 1) Lewis 2) Graterol 3) Romero 4) Kirilloff 5) Gordon 6) Gonsalves 7) Rooker 8) Baddoo 9) Larnach 10) Wade
  17. If Kirilloff continues to hit like he is, he needs to be up at the end of next year. Watching all of these other teams continually promote players at young age makes sense, and the Twins should be following suit with players that show they can.
