    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?
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

    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?
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Doctor Wu
    I think it's gotta be a pitcher. Pressly or Berrios (if he has a string of quality starts next month) would be fun picks, but as Cody and others noted, it could end up being Fernando Rodney, mainly because he's the closer and is racking up some saves.

    Nick Anderson continues to impress for the Red Wings. As Steve mentioned, his ERA is now at 1.16. Wow! Any chance he could be called up this summer if the Twins need an extra arm in the bullpen?
  11. Doctor Wu
    There is also John Hicks with the TIgers. Although after the Twins signed him a few years ago, I don't think he ever played a regular season game for the team. For Detroit this year he has also played first base. Now batting .279 with a .326 OBP -- but has 5 home runs and 17 RBI already.
  12. Doctor Wu
    Overall, I'm pretty happy with this pitching staff. The starters are reliable for the most part, and even Lynn looks like he's shaping up. If Santana is remotely like his old self when he returns, that will inspire a lot more confidence. And hey, I like this bullpen too.
  13. Doctor Wu
    Let Garver play more and take his lumps, or watch him show some improvement. Meanwhile, I also vote to give Astudillo a chance. After the Castro injury it's tempting to want to go out and find an upgrade at catcher, but I'm still not confident enough that the Twins are going to be playoff contenders this year. If someone good falls into our laps, take it, but I don't want to see any foolish trades at this point.
  14. Doctor Wu
    Anemic batting about says it all. I think it may be to to shake things up again. Buxton can't even bunt or walk to get on base and show his speed. Once again, the strikeouts are adding up for him. What's the answer? Or is there one? Except for Rosario, no other hitter is in a groove right now. Another week of pitiful batting like this and I'll be adding to my profanity vocabulary.
  15. Doctor Wu
    I'd like to see more season stats posted too. I'm too lazy to go to other sources for that information. If TD could include more of those stats with these minor league wrap-ups and articles that would be terrific.
  16. Doctor Wu
    Good to see someone in the organization starting to hit home runs again!
  17. Doctor Wu
    He's not a prospect, but I wonder if Brock Stassi could be called up in the near future ... but only if Mauer spends more time on the DL than expected. Stassi is a good fielding first baseman and spent some time with the Phillies last year. Not a youngster, but not yet over the hill either.
  18. Doctor Wu
    I miss Colon too. Not saying that I think the Twins should have brought him back --- too many other and potentially better arms in the mix --- but I did enjoy seeing him in a Twins uniform last year. Colorful players like him are one reason why I still love baseball.
  19. Doctor Wu
    Sam Fuld! How soon we forget.
  20. Doctor Wu
    Fernando Romero and his innings limit might end up being a major consideration if he keeps pitching well over the next two months.
  21. Doctor Wu
    Good overview, thanks! Looks like a fairly deep pool of talent in the draft, even as far down as where the Twins will be picking. I noticed one player, Logan Gilbert, from Stetson University in Florida. As you noted, that college also yielded Jacob deGrom and Cory Kluber. And if you go back about 63 years ago.... my father was also an "ace" pitcher for Stetson. Family legend has is that the Yankees drafted him, but he decided to finish college and never pursued baseball any further. But I keep thinking: what if?
  22. Doctor Wu
    A bunch of players are playing well and looking like they deserve looks at the next level. Lewis, Kirilloff, and Gordon are the obvious stars playing well, but you could cite Wade and a few pitchers too. Could be an interesting summer of promotions.
  23. Doctor Wu
    Not much more to say; getting released is one of those unfortunate aspects of baseball life. But injuries such as the ones Hughes had to deal with are extremely difficult to recover from. Alexi Ogando, another pitcher who once showed lots of promise and got derailed by arm trouble (he was an All-Star for Texas back in 2011), was released by the Cleveland organization this week. He's 34, a few years older than Hughes, but earlier in this decade he looked terrific..
  24. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, that Brewers bullpen is "nasty" indeed. Lots of press about Hader this season (and he struck out 6 Twins batters in 2.1 innings yesterday) but Jeffress has also been formidable; another scoreless inning yesterday with 2 KO's of his own, and an ERA now sitting at 0.36 !!!
  25. Doctor Wu
    And, as someone posted last week, there is also the impending return and Minnesota debut of Michael Pineda sometime this summer. Hope that Santana gets to the mound before that time, but who knows at this point. Like the decision with Trevor May, will the Twins stick Pineda in the bullpen to start with, or give him some starts?
