    As baffling as this move seems, there is only one thing that the return of Belisle could mean: the second coming of Bartolo Colon to the Twin Cities!

    As much as I'd love to see Gordon called up this summer, I don't see that happening as long as we still have Dozier starting at 2B. I could either way on Wade, but I'd like to see Astudillo given a try as catcher. Who is Sawyer?

    We keep talking about "when Santana comes back" but do we even know that will actually happen before the season is over? I mean, it's mid-June already and there ain't much time left! If Santana's rehab resumes again, what's the new timeline for his return?
  4. Doctor Wu
    That last sentence has given me a splitting headache!
  5. Doctor Wu
    Okay, Carter is an "older" player and strikes out a lot, but since we DID decide to sign him to a minor league contract and he IS producing well thus far, is it not conceivable that he might be called up to the big leagues again sometime soon? I

    I'm discouraged but not ready to write off the team's chances just yet. Lots of variables and "What Ifs" still at play. Buxton could come back and put it all together. Mauer could be healthy and productive again. Polanco will return and show the form we saw in the second half last year. Santana will also be back and should help the rotation. Morrison might get hot. And another wild card, Michael Pineda might help the final couple of months (on that note: does anyone know what is his timeline to join the club?). Plenty of things that COULD help the team in the coming months, but who knows how it will all play out? But hey, that's the joy --- and aggravation -- of this game.

    Good question. Every time I check these reports it seems like Wells has pitcher another impressive game.

    Any idea if Kody Funderburk is related to ex-Twins minor league slugger Mark Funderburk? Man, that guy was a monster in the minors for the Twins back in the day.

    Someone ought to get out the big razor and shave Sano's head. Maybe that will wake him up!

    Good to see Ben Rortvedt off to a good start in Fort Myers. I've always thought that he was going to be a keeper, one that could/should reach the majors eventually. I'll be watching his progress and wish him luck.

    I'd never noticed the name Andro Cutura before, but some nice recent stats, and what a great baseball name that is! You mentioned that he was a 7th round pick from 2014. How does he fit into the "prospect" list at this point? or is even considered someone that the organization thinks might potentially reach the majors?
  12. Doctor Wu
    I agree. Baddoo was due! After such a slow start to the season I hope he starts putting it all together over the summer.
  13. Doctor Wu
    Seeing the name Johnny Ard (from 1988) in the first paragraph brought back a lot of memories. I saw him pitch for Orlando when he was in the minors. Such high hopes for that kid, but yet another "hot" prospect who fizzled out and never made the big leagues. Just never can tell what will end up happening with these high school players, especially the pitchers.
  14. Doctor Wu
    I'd been thinking a pitcher would be the Twins lone representative, but the way Rosario keeps playing ... hmm, he might be the one. Then again, if this teams starts to put it together, having two All-Star picks wouldn't be so far-fetched either.
  15. Doctor Wu
    On the surface, or at least from my hackneyed perspective, Larnach looks like a rather underwhelming pick, one that doesn't move the needle either way for me. Lots of comparisons to Rooker, so I'm not sure what he offers that the Twins are looking for. Then again, as others have noted, the draft is indeed a crapshoot, so who really knows how these players will pan out over the next few years. All we can hope is that, as they did last year, the front office did their homework and targeted some players with true tools and potential.
  16. Doctor Wu
    I had never heard of Bencomo before. Let's hope he has more starts like that one. But's he's no spring chicken. I checked online and saw that he's not 29 years old. So, not a hot young prospect ... but maybe a late bloomer?
  17. Doctor Wu
  18. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, some scary stats for Baddoo. Sure, the season is still young, but I had very high hopes for him. Has he had any injury concerns or what is the problem for him this year?
  19. Doctor Wu
    Thumbs up from me too. Great article and roundup on the top prospects. I especially like the addition of the stats, both for the full season and the past 28 days. Looking forward to seeing this a regular feature.
  20. Doctor Wu
    Great to read this reports from down on the farm, Keep 'em coming! And very gratifying to see many of our prospects playing well so far this year. Man, we need some good news during these trying days in Minnesota.
  21. Doctor Wu
    If I'm not mistaken, Hu was traded for Kevin Jepsen late in the season (was that 2015?) when we were trying to strengthen our bullpen.
  22. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, that's an "ouch" realization. Seeing that a rebuilding Detroit team is ahead of us in the standings (and managed by Gardenhire!) really, really hurts. I didn't think that things would go this wrong so quickly. But hey, that's the nature of baseball.
  23. Doctor Wu
    Good to see Kohl Stewart back from being on the "temporary inactive list." That one puzzled me --- and worried me --- last week. Any idea what that was all about?
  24. Doctor Wu
    It's a depressing thought (one of many I've had this week), and I know this is a VERY premature one, but I hope Buxton's future is not as a pinch runner and/or late inning defensive replacement. Double sign.
  25. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, it would have been nice to see Buxton attempt a steal at that point. Then again, gotta have at least one hit to bring him home. Sign.
