  1. Tuned in with men on base in the 6th, they almost batted around twice. Great at bats against Finnegan: nobody was biting on the splitter, resulting in walks and hotter's counts. Went from a game you could still lose to a blowout. Most fun I've had watching the Twins in a while, 10 run inning!
  2. Strong disagree - Jenkins was playing okay at St. Paul not so long ago. He's on a heater now, but better than Buxton? Stop the 2nd guessing and what if click bait. NO!
  3. Sweeping the "lowly" White Sox would be a great start. Could put them 3 or so games behind. Winning the division seems easier at this point than Wild-Card imo. Gotta say though, having been to see the Sox in Chicago this year, their trading away guys like Crochet, and generally sucking have given them a pretty sweet core of young players to build around. Not the same hate-able bunch of years past. Looks like they might have finally played it right.
  4. This is great - he is looking the part more and more every day. Do rosters still expand on Sept. 1? Add him then, avoid the 40 man roster doo doo. Get a good month of him for free. If my basic math is wrong, my bad.
  5. Man, what a problem to have, 2 young shortstops of the quality of Culpepper and Houston. Someone earlier mentioned that Culpepper just looks the part, and having watched Houston live, that's exactly my evaluation. Then again, I always thought the same thing about Will Holland.
  6. Pete Maki, Luis Ramirez, and Latroy Hawkins seem to find tweaks to make these guys better, consistently. Our pitching coaches deserve a lot of credit.
  7. Because so many big spenders were penalized draft position in the last draft, these incentive picks ended up 26, Atlanta for Baldwin winning ROY, and 28, Houston, for Brown bing in the top 3 for AL CY Young. Picks in the 20s are nothing to sneeze at. However, I think the roster being full is reason number 1, and the possible lockout number 2.
  8. Nice article - KC seems to be holding his own at this point: bodes well for the future.
  9. Never heard of Fragoza until tonight, but the numbers are amazing. Always wondered how Dodgers and Yankees always have such rich farms systems, and it's Int'l draft I think. How did the Twins acquire this guy? My web search failed.
  10. Give him a shot this September. He was so firmly in the bust category for so long, but he persevered, put in the time and work, and dammit, he deserves a little reward. The OPS against lefties alone is reason enough. Maybe don't even wait until September.
  11. At least Jones is a prospect. That's why I enjoy minor league ball: some are going up, others are going down
