    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.
  2. Doctor Wu
    Tyler Wells had another very start for Baltimore this past weekend. He's looking like one that got away.

    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 ?
  4. Doctor Wu
    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.
  5. Doctor Wu
    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!
  6. Doctor Wu
    Funderburk is looking more and more like a legit prospect, one we can use pretty soon. Thanks for all the info!
  7. Doctor Wu
    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!
  8. Doctor Wu
    Thanks for another comprehensive report. Although, maybe a type on this sentence: He gave up no runs and no walks, though he walked one.
  9. Doctor Wu
    Seems like I see DaShawn Keirsey Jr.'s name pop up frequently in these reports. I realize that he's not a top prospect, and maybe not someone we will see called up for another year or two, but might he not end up being a steady backup or utility player at the MLB level?
  10. Doctor Wu
    well, I'm getting a bit worried about SWR. I had high hopes for him, but he numbers so far this year look scary.
  11. Doctor Wu
    I'd pick that as the best trade too. As much as we loved Nelson Cruz, Ryan has been fantastic. And I still like the Berrios trade. I have a feeling that either Martin or SWR will end up being a long-term player for the Twins.
  12. Doctor Wu
    And Brent Rooker!
  13. Doctor Wu
    Wow, I missed that! Alcala didn't last long this time, but then again, he wasn't looking very good either. I'm still not sold on Headrick but he has pitched well in the short time he's been called up. Starter or reliever? Once again, I don't have a strong opinion, but use him where you can.
  14. Doctor Wu
    Other than reading about these potential draft picks, I don't have a clue about which ones are best or which ones would best fit our needs. But at some point early in this draft, please please please find some quality pitchers!
  15. Doctor Wu
    Well, in retrospect, this ended up being a bad trade. But I liked it at that time and felt like it was a trade that needed to be made. I'm assuming the Twins front office did their due diligence on Mahle's so-called history of shoulder issues, so I can't fault them totally for that. And it's not like we gave up our best prospects. Sure, Steer is looking like a steady starter with the Reds, and CES will no doubt be called up before the year is out, and Haijer hasn't pitched yet this season. So, I'll just repeat the same thing others have said; live with the trade and move on to more important matters.
  16. Doctor Wu
    Brooks Lee is looking like a definite keeper, but as others have said, no need to rush him to the big show just yet. A few more months on the farm at least, and then maybe a late season callup. But as for being a savior ... I don't see him as that big of a difference maker. Good player, maybe even an all-star at some point, but that's a few years down the road.
  17. Doctor Wu
    Bottom line: 4 hits ain't going to win you many games.
  18. Doctor Wu
    Great game for Rafael Cruz. If he's anything like his older brother we may have a good one!
  19. Doctor Wu
    Yeah, what's the deal with Raya only pitching 3 innings? I haven't paid much attention to his outings, but has that been the norm for him so far this season? or was this game a shorter one for him for some reason?
  20. Doctor Wu
    As always, thanks for the research and showing us the "alternative" stats. I've always liked Jax and happy to see him making progress at the MLB level.
  21. Doctor Wu
    Put me in the club wanting hitters like Carew and Oliva too! I had such high hopes for Buxton coming into this season, but it seems like he is mostly swinging for the fences each time he's up. I have to think he's capable of getting a lot of "regular" hits if he decided that's what he wanted to do.
  22. Doctor Wu
    I don't know much about Helman either, or at least I didn't (Thanks for another good report!), but any player with speed and hitting skills like that catches my eye!
  23. Doctor Wu
    You beat me to it! I used to watch Mark Funderburk play with the Orlando Twins back in the day, and was excited when he finally got a chance to play with the big club. But going back to Kody Funderburk, his performance thus far has been encouraging. But as others have noted, some AAA experience might be necessary.
  24. Doctor Wu
    I do believe I saw him dumpster diving last week!
  25. Doctor Wu
    Rob Refsnyder leading off for Boston yesterday ... but he went 0-3 in that game. Still, it's good to see him back in the majors and getting some at-bats.
