    Tampa Bay won the AL East and is competing for an AL title with one of the lowest payrolls in the game. They drafted and developed the Twins best pitchers, Ryan. and Bradley. Gimme anything that comes from that organization, and more!

    Gee whiz folks, 19 years old, just recently turned 20. Living in a foreign land, foreign language, playing dudes that are years older than you at a demanding position. I went to Cedar Rapids this summer and one game he had a homer (maybe2) and a runner thrown out in the same game.The tools are there from what I saw.. He's over a year younger than Vahn lackey. He led the Kernels with 73 RBI this season. Ain't none of the shine gone off him imho. Who the hell cares about rankings? Misiorowski was a 2nd rounder after all.

    Falvey's pitching pipeline dries up with a whimper.

    I remember watching him pitch at Cedar Rapids years ago and thought he looked the part. Soo far to go from A ball to MLB; even the distance from drafted as a high schooler to A ball is big. Such a crapshoot is MLB draft: Royce Lewis #1 overall, Aaron Judge 32nd overall, Mike Trout 25th overall. Hope he figures it out: good arm.

    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!

    Why is Gabriel Gonzales a Twin not the headline here?
  7. AlLagoon
    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!

    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.

    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.
  10. AlLagoon
    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.
  11. AlLagoon
    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.

    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.
  13. AlLagoon
    Nice article - KC seems to be holding his own at this point: bodes well for the future.
  14. AlLagoon
    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.
  15. AlLagoon
    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.
  16. AlLagoon
    At least Jones is a prospect. That's why I enjoy minor league ball: some are going up, others are going down
  17. AlLagoon
    Yaay, keeps a shred of hope alive.
  18. AlLagoon
    Hill has high end potential - hmmmmm
  19. AlLagoon
    Bums
  20. AlLagoon
    This is a good start- Amick has 23 homers this year as a slightly underage AA player, 2nd rounder, so a decent asset heading New York's way. Twins getting back a guy with a career 3.18 ERA over 10 years and 382 IP.. Fewer hits allowed than innings pitched, more strikeouts than IP. Solid baseball trade.
  21. AlLagoon
    I watched Tait in Cedar Rapids, and he looked better than a 19 year old should. Over three games, he had a runner thrown out, and a 2 homer game. Interesting fact: he's just about 1 year younger than Lackey. What a luxury to have mucho prospects at catcher and shortstop. Next, center field.
  22. AlLagoon
    Well, they signed all their draft picks and spent over their pool allowance of 16.9 million to do so. That is probably the best way forward for the Twins: draft, develop, find diamonds in the rough. I wouldn't touch the blue chippers on the farm to improve this Twins team. They showed right after the All-Star break that they are capable of dropping right out of the race just like that.
  23. AlLagoon
    All in favor of baseball trades, like for like.
  24. AlLagoon
    Taking a look at the standings tonight, guess who else is competing for a wild card spot? Yankees and Red Sox: oh, and the Guardians. Hovering within a game of the Twins in that race are Seattle, Houston, Baltimore. Jeffers is the best chip to deal. I'd keep Ryan for now.
  25. AlLagoon
    Garver and Jeffers in Seattle. That would be bizarre. BTW, I've always considered trading prospects for established players the domain of the baseball haves, NYY, LAD, Boston, Philadelphia, Mets, etc. The Twins are in no position either on the field, or in the bank account, to give up potential cost controlled players, some of whom might be really good, at this point. If it's a baseball trade of equivalents, then maybe.
