  1. Oops! Thanks for correcting that. For some reason I had it in my head that he won the award. He DID win 20 games last year, but obviously he didn't win the Cy Young. And it won't happen this year either due to his latest injury.
  2. If we do happen to need outfield help, the Phillies might want to part with Jack Cave!
  3. Good debut performance with the Twins organization by Austin Brice, but looks like he's been around for a while, and not any sort of prospect. He's now 30 years old, drafted by the Marlins, and most recently with Arizona. His career stats look underwhelming, but hey, it's another body in the bullpen, and maybe there is still some untapped potential?
  4. Any updates on Gordon? From what I'm hearing, his injury might require putting him on the 60-day IL. Is this one of those long-rest sort of injuries or will he require surgery? Any updates are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  5. My thoughts exactly! The Twins need Lewis in the lineup ASAP.
  6. As so many others have said, THANK YOU for updating the list and giving us so much background and information on these prospects. As someone living halfway around the world, and not able to watch any games, these reports are very much appreciated!
  7. I'm still shocked that Abad is still pitching in the year 2023!
  8. I've been following what Cano is doing in Baltimore and knew that he hasn't allowed a run so far this year ... but no walks also?! That's perhaps even more of an impressive stat. Good for him. But like others on this board, I sure didn't see it coming. And also as others have said, the season is still young! I'm not hoping he implodes or anything, and it would be cool to see him in the All-Star game, but I'm sure at some point in the near future he will give up a few runs!
  9. I've liked what I've seen, or rather read, about Nowlin so far this year. He strikes me as one of those sneaky good prospects that could end up being a good bullpen piece in the future. For those that have actually seen him pitch, or know more about him, what is your opinion of his chances?
  10. The ageless Rich Hill pitched a darned good game for the Pirates yesterday, giving up only 1 hit in 6 innings. And over in Atlanta, Nick Anderson pitched a scoreless inning for the win.
  11. Pretty accurate assessments all the way around. Leaving the bases loaded hurts the most.
  12. Yeah, IF there is any sort of plan it's definitely not a solid one at this point. Too many cooks in the kitchen and too many other variables that can change plans quickly. But at least we will have several options, so third base won't be a position I'm going to worry about in the near future. I just don't think Miranda will be the placeholder there a year from now.
  13. De Leon? I'm surprised, but he is an interesting choice to get the call-up. I assume they will be using him mostly in the bullpen, but he's started some games in AAA this year too, plus he had that amazing start in the World Baseball tourney this past winter. Let's hope he shows some good stuff!
  14. Well, the jury is still out, but I think Lewis is going to end up looking look a good pick. Maybe not a great one, but one they won't regret. But still ... going back to that year, I was really hoping they would choose a pitcher with that pick, and I still feel that was a lost opportunity. Kyle Wright, although injured right now, won the Cy Young last year for the Braves, and I think he will be an ace for a long time. Hunter Greene is starting to look good with the Reds, and even Gore looks like a keeper. Hey, this is all hindsight stuff, but when all is said and done, I'm comfortable with having Lewis.
  15. Loved that squeeze bunt by Jeffers to score Buxton. Just shows that there are all sorts of creative ways to score runs when you need to.
  16. Totally agree with that. Like many on this board, I was a bit underwhelmed by the trade for Farmer. But man, he has shown a lot game and grit, and some timely hits. Glad to have both him and Taylor with the team!
  17. Yeah, Tonkin's emergence as an effective reliever at that age is a very cool story! And with the powerful Braves, who also just claimed Derek Rodriguez this week. Like us, they seem to be losing pitchers due to injury more often this season.
  18. Tyler Wells had another very start for Baltimore this past weekend. He's looking like one that got away.
  19. I'm still not sold on the Twins "turning a corner" but I appreciate the optimism! As for Ryan seeming "like a shoo-in for the All-Star Game already, barring a huge drop-off" I hope that prediction comes true too, but I'm still feeling nervous about his ability to sustain those numbers. Likewise, Sonny Gray has looked like a true ace thus far, but can he keep on pitching like this, and without going on the IL ?
  20. Yes, they can. But the hits still seem to be more of the home run variety lately (again, I'm not checking stats before I make this observation, so correct me if I'm totally off base!). Not a horrible thing, obviously, but I'd also like to see more singles and doubles as opposed to strikeouts.
  21. Yeah, I was worried about the Twins facing Stroman ... but what a bust-out game for the batters! Glad that my worries ended up being nothing at all!
  22. Funderburk is looking more and more like a legit prospect, one we can use pretty soon. Thanks for all the info!
  23. Where is Yunior Severino ranked on the prospect list? Seems like I see his name popping more and more on these highlights. Ten homers so far in the season is quite impressive!
