    He’s not slow, he’s fast. But, yes, he might not end up being ‘quick’ enough to play SS at the major league level. Because of his arm, 3B will be the most likely second choice on the IF, and they’re already giving him a taste there. But in the meantime, they are challenging him primarily at SS (in the IF), which I agree with and is consistent with what they did with Lewis and Lee. He’s 20. Years away. Much easier and quicker to transition to 2nd and 3rd if you’ve been developed at SS than the other way around.

    Agree. He’s not done being good, either. Thanks for the article.

    This! Winokur quietly having a pretty nice year as a 20-year old in A+ ball. Strike-outs inching down, finding some power, steeling bases even more efficiently, continuing to play both CF and SS. Very, very encouraging. Starting to feel like his ceiling is very high. Obviously, a long way to go.

    ERod??? You’d have to find him first. And while I wouldn’t mind them giving Prielipp a taste, he’s being challenged plenty in AA. I just want to see him finish his first ever injury-free pro season healthy.

    I agree with most of this. Although, we’re not going to see Ryan or Buxton’s health tested. Very unlikely. Ryan won’t be going deep even when cruising…probably gets shut down at some point or at least more rest days before starts, if not skipped here and there…and Buxton will get plenty of days off and DH games…and also is likely to get shut down at some point. I would be surprised if they haven’t already had at least a “if not now, when” conversation regarding Buxton.

    I remain confused that lack of power is González’s biggest risk regarding major league potential. The bat speed sure looks decent. And look at the body. I mean, maybe he’s actually 25 years old, and this is right about where he peaks? Maybe he never develops the ability to consistently launch? I don’t know. All I know is that he looks very, very hitterish.

    You’re kidding, right? The national baseball media barely knows where the Twins play. If they made a consensus list of the top 100 disappointments of the past decade the Twins wouldn’t make it. At the top of the list would be items like…Yankees fail to win a World Series, followed immediately by the Dodgers only win 2 World Series, and Boston only wins 1.

    The pitch Keaschall hit for the game-winning homer to RIGHT FIELD was absolutely identical in location and velocity to the pitch Lewis K’d on yesterday in the bottom of the 7th with RiSP….fastball at 96, up, and on the outside corner… …to RIGHT FIELD. I’m talking to you, Royce.

    Not ALL of we are so bad.

    If we go on to win the pennant, we’re going to look back at this performance by Tonkin as the turning point.
  11. jkcarew
    It would never be Watkins call.
  12. jkcarew
    I’ve heard there are many ways to score from 3rd with less than two out, without the benefit of a hit. Though, I’ve never actually seen it.
  13. jkcarew
    Rocco must be having a blast! Always loved managing a bullpen like tomorrow’s game doesn’t matter.
  14. jkcarew
    I’m old enough to remember when Lewis would take pitches off the outside corner and hit then hard to right field.
  15. jkcarew
    He’s proving that his arm won’t fall off if he’s asked to throw 90+ pitches. He’s also doing a pretty good job of proving 90+ pitches gets about 10 outs.
  16. jkcarew
    Longer term, I don’t know if it will turn out to be the correct move or not. Depends on what, if anything, is done with the money saved. I’m pretty sure Correa is NOT done being a good player. Simply getting rid of him doesn’t make the club better over the next few years.
  17. jkcarew
    It’s called tanking. Don’t expect Buxton to be running around in center field much for the remainder of the year, regardless of current health status.
  18. jkcarew
    Just good news today… Raya is throwing more pitches in recent starts with the Saints.
  19. jkcarew
    At least the future hope is real. Just hope, but honest. The selling of a ‘contender’ over recent years has been 100% fraudulent.
  20. jkcarew
    And yet, it’s has a VERY strong correlation to teams that do well in the postseason. And that’s the point.
  21. jkcarew
    We’ll look back at this game during the parade, Peter!
  22. jkcarew
    Nice! Is it too late to buy?
  23. jkcarew
    You only play good teams in the playoffs…you have to at least show that you can hold your own. At 27-29, Detroit actually has a MUCH better record than the Twins had in their recent postseasons. Yes, 27-29 actually gives you some hope…as does their top-of-rotation pitching.
  24. jkcarew
    This makes Detroit a classic ALC champion/postseason club. Every. Single. Year.
