    Our old pal Eddie Rosario keeps getting some clutch hits for the Braves, including a grand slam yesterday. Despite his faults, he's still a fun player to watch.
  2. Doctor Wu
    The recent double-Lopez meltdowns are very concerning. A temporary blip in either case, or real cause for alarm?
  3. Doctor Wu
    Sure, there are a lot of shoulda coulda woulda sorts of factors involved in roster decisions, but it seems like the Twins certainly do miss something in the development of players, especially pitchers. Some posts have already mentioned Nick Anderson, Ryan Presley, Tyler Wells and Cano, and I would add Liam Hendricks. Even more fringe arms like Ian Gibaut and Michael Tonkin have resurrected their career after leaving Minnesota. Are the Twins just like any other team, or do we really miss more than we catch?

    Yes indeed, we need to keep Solano and Castro in the lineup; both are both hitting very well lately, and you can't say that for many of the other regulars outside of Kiriloff and Jeffers. Plus, Castro is stealing some bases! But sure, I think Wallner deserves a promotion ASAP, and Larnach is due for a recall soon too. If you find positions for them, or perhaps at DH, then we might need Julian and Miranda back at some point, but I'd rather both of those guys work on their defense and/or pitch selection in AAA at this juncture.

    This was probably addressed in another thread, but why wasn't Wallner called up this week? With Gallo going on the IL it seems like that would have been a logical move. Sure, Garlick has his role to play, but I'd rather see Wallner in the lineup, especially with the ways he's hitting lately.

    I always thought Enlow would be an eventual MLB arm, or at least my hopes were high. Very encouraged by his performance thus far this year. As others have said, I wouldn't be shocked to see him called up to the majors by next year if not this season. If he keep pitching well with confidence I think he'll stick.
  7. Doctor Wu
    June is here and no sign of Miguel Sano anywhere. Any updates on what he is doing or where he is doing it?
  8. Doctor Wu
    I've also noticed those guys playing well, particularly Kiersey, Jr. Seems like there's not much room for him at AAA right now, but you never know when someone will get injured. But yeah, right now, he's playing very well for Wichita.
  9. Doctor Wu
    This Royce Lewis kid looks like a keeper!
  10. Doctor Wu
    Lopez had another less than stellar start, but at least he made it through the first inning this time without giving up any runs. He looked good through the first five and then it all came apart in the sixth. He seems like a very intelligent pitcher, so I hope he regains his mojo very soon.
  11. Doctor Wu
    But back to the actual hitters of the month, Kiriloff definitely deserves the honor. A relief to have him back on the team and hitting well. And Jeffers has been even hotter lately. That's been the real surprise for me this year. Maybe they can help motivate Buxton and Correa to start hitting better.

    Sanchez hit his first homer for the Padres yesterday.
  13. Doctor Wu
    Did Aaron Sanchez actually pitch well this time?
  14. Doctor Wu
    Well yeah, we lost that trade. Sigh. But looking back, I'd do it again (of course, doing it with the hope that Mahle would be healthy). We wanted an above average starting pitcher, and we didn't have to give up any of our top tier prospects to get him. It looked like a good win-win trade at the time. I liked it. But now ... not much more to add. This one stings. I wish Steer and CES all the best and hope they have long careers. Don't know what will happen to Mahle at this point, but it's doubtful we'll see him in a Twins uniform again. But hey, that's baseball. Funny game.
  15. Doctor Wu
    Good point. Varland and Ober are both looking good since they were brought back up. If they can sustain that effectiveness Maeda might end up in the bullpen, which may not be a bad option.
  16. Doctor Wu
    Tyler White? I must have blinked and missed that one. Honestly, who was he?
  17. Doctor Wu
    I still Maeda can be a valuable starting pitcher for us this year. If he's healthy, send him out there!
  18. Doctor Wu
    Very informative article! Cardenas seems like an intriguing catching prospect, and we certainly need more of those and soon! Also pleased with how Zebby Matthews has pitched this year, and you gotta love the name!
  19. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, Wallner keeps on hitting. Sure would be nice to have his bat back in Minnesota. As you said, they need to find a way to get him in the lineup on a regular basis. If he keeps hitting like he has been lately that would be VERY helpful to an underwhelming Twins lineup.
  20. Doctor Wu
    Like most everyone here, in an ideal/healthy world, we'd have Buxton back in CF full-time. As far the DH role, I appreciate the deep dive the article did on the stats. To my eye test, Buxton has been less than stellar at DH, striking out too much and/or hitting into double plays. The second coming of Nelson Cruz he is not. All that said, I sure wish he would use his world-class speed at lot more. We've seen him running the bases, and in the past in the field. Why can't he bunt for a few hits? Or steal more bases? With speed like he has, it can be VERY disruptive to the opposing team. But hey, if he still IS having knees issues, I understand the reluctance not to go sliding into bases (albeit bigger ones this year!).
  21. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, I'm sure that Steer is very happy to be starting with the Reds this year. His stats are looking better and better this month. Don't think the Reds are thinking about sending him back to AAA at this point.
  22. Doctor Wu
    Don't know a thing about it him, but just for the name, I'd love to have a pitcher named Noble Meyer!
  23. Doctor Wu
    Meanwhile, after his amazingly hot start, Brent Rooker is sinking like a rock. According to my calculations, he is batting only .202 in May, bringing his season average down to .268. His OBP is still very good at .371, but we may have to postpone those All-Star plans unless he gets hot again.
  24. Doctor Wu
    I think the Reds are very happy with Hunter Greene. Good pick!
  25. Doctor Wu
    I agree, everything that I've read about Lewis, either pre-injury or post-injury, indicates that not only is his attitude great, but he's not a quitter. Got some fire in the belly. Seems like a throwback to the gritty players of the old days. If he can get on base and steal some bases, maybe this team will start scoring some runs again!
