Did the Twins Plan to Fail this Offseason?
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Another click bait article by Ted. Dude must be a MN native with his negativity. Should just leave it alone, but I hate the negative nellies, especially writers. Twins went after the As pitchers, but didn't want to give up or didn't have the prospects to match. They went after multiple SPs in FA, but were outbid. They gained flexibility by trading Donaldson and didn't sit on the money. Who are they trading to get Castillo or Montas? We don't have the arms in our minors, unless you dip into A ball.- 27 replies

Beckham and Conteras to the big club? Did I miss an injury or do we have a trade in the works? Hopefully we DFA Sano soon- 10 replies

Get to Know Twins Draft Pick Connor Prielipp
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Watched him play quite a few times as a teenager against teams from my area. He was a man amongst boys then. He comes from a good family and has worked hard to get healthy again. Kid could move fast, but I'm sure the Twins will use kid gloves with -

Post Draft: Who's the Twins' Top Pitching Prospect?
HrbieFan replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Blaz has dropped way down, no way he is top 5, he looks lost on the field. Canterino has never been healthy, save his arm and bring him to the big as a RP. I'd add Headrick into the top 5 competition, he has been dynamite this year- 31 replies

Get to Know Twins Draft Pick Kyle Jones
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
The velocity added to pitchers drafted last year was impressive. Povich was nothing special in college, but a few ticks and now that ball looks and moves different -
Was thinking the same about Yasser. The bat depth that has been built in the organization the last 4 years us quite impressive.

Twins Select Brooks Lee #8 Overall
HrbieFan replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Please don't quote Doogie. Dude throws more crap at the wall then a 4 year old -
My crush is on Collier, unfortunately he is being linked quite a bit with Pittsburgh. Berry is my least favorite that has been linked to the Twins, scarred by drafting college sluggers

The Five Best Hitting Trade Targets for the Twins
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Contreras is about the only fit for the Twuns and it is going to take a haul to get him. Would it rattle Jeffers sending him to AAA?- 31 replies

Miguel Sanó’s Looming Return
HrbieFan replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Miranda is a long term option, but I will give Sano a chance before dumping him. Give him 2 weeks with the big club and if he doesn't rediscover his stroke, time to move on. He has rediscovered it in the past, give him one more chance -

Winder? Has he lost as a starter? Hell no that offer. Trading away pitching futures is a dicy road to go down. We are just getting to the point where are building up some options. Stay the pat and strike when close, we are not close. Our BP is not good, still trying to figure out who Cotton has pictures of

Twins Minor League Report (6/21): Matt Wallner is Surging

Is there an international prospect list of Twins prospects somewhere? We see these guys sign and then they disappear for 3-4 years, so hard to keep track of them- 22 replies

Minnesota’s Second Coming of Rod Carew
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
BA still matters, I don't care what the stat geeks say. During a deadball season where the average player is around .220, I will take my boy Arraez 10 out of 10. In past articles on here he was ripped for not being a power hitter, I really don't care that he isn't. Watching a run get manufactured is much more enjoyable than seeing a guy punch one over the fence and then strikeout his next 4 ABs. Seems that his knee issues that he was knocked about have subsided this year. So i am assuming those issues have been healed and it was not a DJD issue. Have a feeling the Twins are going to regret not locking him up to a team friendly long term deal.- 45 replies

Hunter Wood could be a sneaky good RP add for the Twins in the coming months. He has had some success in the big leagues before having a partial tear of his UCL and having a brace inserted last year vs TJ surgery.

Decision Looms on First Round Pick
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Settle down on cutting Gordon. You need guys like him on the bench to come in and run, play D or give a guy a day off. If Punto can play for nearly a decade, so can Nick. You don't bring up a Lewis or Kiriloff to be a backup, those guys play everyday. It will get interesting when Sano is healthy though- 26 replies

Great article! Seems like Royce is a very humble young man. Sky is the limit for him, still shocked that the experts didn't have him as a top prospect coming into the year. On a rerank he gas to be top 20

Sure seems like the Twins are going opposite field more this year. Not sure if I'm imagining it or it is a concerted effort by the hitting coaches with the deadened ball
