    Good for him. Maybe his relatively "advanced" age has helped, but he doesn't seem intimidated or hesitant in his new role as the main catcher. I don't think many people were happy to see Castro put on the DL, but I think putting Garver behind the plate more has given him the experience and confidence he needs to thrive.

    Good reminder. I've forgotten about Pineda's impending return too. And you may be right about Meija too. Barring injuries, too many good arms ahead of him.
  3. Doctor Wu
    And congratulations to Trevor May ("Lurch" ???) on making it back to the mound again, even if it's on a rehab assignment in the minors. He must be pumped big time!

    Excellent summary of the past week, NIck! Yeah, what a relief to see the Twins winning again on a consistent basis. Not sure what the magic ingredient was. Fairly good pitching, Morrison picking it up a bit, and the return of Buxton. Sure,he's looked flat at the plate thus far, but just his presence on the field is a psychological boost for the team.
  5. Doctor Wu
    I haven't been following the results of the new Pace of Play rule in the minors thus far, but it strikes me as one of those misguided experiments that will soon be terminated.
  6. Doctor Wu
    I'm also feeling frustrated by Buxton's continuing slow starts and the nagging injuries. I love watching him play center field and run the bases. Not many players can match that excitement. But I'm starting to have my doubts that he'll ever be more than a .250 hitter. Man, I hope I'm wrong about that. But I'm also getting tired of the "he's only 24" excuses for his struggles. It's time for him to make the jump to the next level.

    Add me to the list of those who are surprised and disappointed in seeing Melotakis released. What prompted that move? More injury concerns? Or too many better arms ahead of him?
  8. Doctor Wu
    Man, how did I miss that news about Wander Javier?! Asleep at the Wheel again! Very sorry to hear that. But hopefully, like Kirilloff, he can come back in another year and start putting up impressive numbers again.
  9. Doctor Wu
    One quote by Kirilloff gave me pause: :"I’m going to play as hard as I can, whether I’m here or wherever else.” I hope he was referring to Cedar Rapids and perhaps the possibility of moving up the Twins' minor league ladder soon .. and not with another organization!

    I concur with everyone else: great summary, Seth. I was surprised a bit by this part you wrote about Rooker: As a 23-year-old, he is one of the youngest players on the Lookouts roster. Is that really so young for a AA player? Seems like most top prospects at that age would already be in AAA. Or am I totally off base? What would you say is the average age on the Lookouts roster this year?
  11. Doctor Wu
    This could be an odd question, so apologies ahead of time. Seeing as how Mitch Garvey has been with the big league club all season, why is he still listed in the "Top Prospect Summary" ?
  12. Doctor Wu
    Another interesting "Get To Know" installment. Thanks, Seth! Seeing as how he was un-drafted, he's not a name I was familiar with at all. And from Madonna University, of all places! But as you noted, he's putting up good numbers so far this year. Looks a player to watch. With a tongue-twister of a last name like Grzelakowski he's bound to have a nickname. Any idea what that is? Or is it up to us to give him one?
  13. Doctor Wu
    Nick Gordon is off to a great start this season. But can he sustain it? If he keeps playing like this for the next month what are the chances that he gets promoted to AAA --- or even to the big league club --- sometime this summer?
  14. Doctor Wu
    Interesting article. Thanks for posting that. But I'm still trying to get my head around "barreling of the ball" and "barrel percentage." For an old school guy like me, all of these newly introduced stats are hard to understand and put in perspective. Not saying it's a bad thing at all, just a whole new concept for me!
  15. Doctor Wu
    I have to agree with most of that. I'm much more worried about the pitching staff at this point. I think the hitting will pick up, maybe not by a significant amount, but it can't stay this bad, can it? And how about some more home runs!
  16. Doctor Wu
    Sad to hear the news today that Ichiro's playing days have come to end. Well ... there is that "maybe" to the whole announcement. But in any case, I'll miss him. A truly great player and he seemed like a classy guy. One that respected the game and did all the little things --- and the big things --- to stay in shape and remain competitive, even in his 40s. And I think it's really cool that he plans to continue taking batting practice with the team this year. A good reason to get to the park early!
  17. Doctor Wu
    Sorry to see more regression for Kohl Stewart. Okay, it's only one game, but what a stinker!
  18. Doctor Wu
    I'm puzzled by that move also. Seems like a big jump in levels for a player who is not a top prospect.
  19. Doctor Wu
    Sounds like he has an impressive set of skills, but his being only 15-years-old I'm not sure how much enthusiasm I can muster at this point.
  20. Doctor Wu
    A walk-off homer to give the Twins a win!? How did I miss this that? Oh ... you were talking about Lewin Diaz and Fort. Myers. Oh well, I'll take any good news from the Twins organization at this dismal early juncture in the season.
  21. Doctor Wu
    The depressing losing streak aside, I'm also concerned about this early season tactic of "dumpster diving" as someone so aptly phrased it; to acquire new players to supplement our fractured roster. It's one thing if we were suffering from a rash of injuries, but the vast majority of these moves, just to replace players who are performing poorly, seems like the head office is already panicking.
  22. Doctor Wu
    The revolving door of player transactions the past two weeks is making my head spin. Where did this new relief pitcher Matt Magill come from and how did the Twins acquire him? Amidst all the other turmoil lately I missed that move. Not it matters much, I suppose. But Is he good enough to stay on the MLB roster and contribute?
  23. Doctor Wu
    Going to see Neil Young and Crazy Horse sounds like the best idea I've heard so far this year!
  24. Doctor Wu
    I didn't realize that Thorpe was still a bit "too young" for the level he's at. Good to factor that into the equation. After missing most of 2 seasons, I just assumed he had regressed as far as age to level was concerned. Thanks for the reminder, Seth.
  25. Doctor Wu
    Good points, What you called "the cute roster manipulation" smacks of things the front office tends to do in July or August .. not in April. Looking scary out there.
