  1. That O's board is unreadable. Both layout and content
  2. Pitching is all about Adcocking and Subtractcocking, just ask Bert.
  3. This is exactly the type of game an AL team is ill-equipped to play in an NL ballpark.
  4. Dear Byron, this is how you change a game with your speed. Take notes.
  5. Hoping for a Milone promotion was more polite than me hoping for a Pat Dean exploded UCL to clear room for Berrios
  6. I think he's proven that he can dominate AAA. Having any more (potentially rough) outings can only be a negative at this point. I'd bring him in for long relief then be the first man up, when one of our starters falters or gets injured, which, let's be honest, has to happen soon. We're kind of jammed up at this point we need an opening for Milone so that he can prove his trade worth before we get Santana back. Ideally, someone would get desperate and trade for Nolasco or Pelfrey, then we could slide Milone into that slot until Santana gets back. The huge caveat is.... We're playing really good baseball and I don't REALLY want to upset the apple cart. OK.... we've officially gotten this thread off track
  7. Every morning I wake up hoping that the 2015 Minor League Transactions thread will have a post that says: Tim Staufer DFA Tommy Milone promoted to Minnesota Twins J.O. Berrios promoted to AAA Rocherster Chih-Wei Hu Promoted to AA Chattanooga Steven Gonsalves Promoted to High A Ft Myers Lewis Thorpe had a miracle performed on him and was activated at Low A Cedar Rapids
  8. Hold on. Hold on.... Did anyone notice the name of the Closer for Biloxi? Magnifico??!?!?! How was that not the lead?
  9. Offer an upside guy well under slot. If he takes it you've got extra money to spend on the competitive balance pick and rounds 3-5. If he doesn't take it, you'll have the 7th pick in what HAS to be a better draft in 2016.
  10. Buxton with a May OPS of around .900 Sano with a May OPS of around .960
  11. Nolasco with a career OPS+ of ...... -2
  12. I'd rather have him pitch in the full game that's being played that day. Then, he would have started two games that were completed on the same day.
  13. Kepler could always get the "Polanco treatment" for a few days if the Twins find themselves in a injury/suspension pinch.
  14. Whether it translates to MLB from AA, what Walker is doing (and what he's done for 2 years) just screams 6th or 7th in the batting order hitter, to me. The kind of guy that just knows how to get guys across the plate and the kind of guy that will turn a 1 run inning into a 4 run inning in the blink of an eye. Will he strike out a bunch? Yes. But if he didn't strike out he'd probably be a MLB top 30 prospect and project to a cleanup hitter.
  15. Buster Olney, in March, ranked the hardest AL early season schedules (roughly the first 40 games). ( http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/buster-olney/insider/post?id=9568 ) ------------------- 3. Minnesota Twins Games against teams that had records over .500 in 2014: 30 of their first 40. Home/road: 20 of their first 40 are at home. Noteworthy: Not only do the Twins have their share of in-division games against rivals from the AL Central early, but they also have a four-game series against Oakland and a two-game series against the Pirates. Before the All-Star break, the Twins will see the Tigers in 13 games and the Royals in 13 games. Good luck with that. -------------- This early, I think it's fair to consider teams that were supposed to be good as still making a schedule "hard" even though they aren't playing that way currently. Do you think the Oakland fans are bemoaning their "hard" schedule because they've had to play the Twins 7 games? No. In the same vain we shouldn't be downgrading the strength of our schedule just because Oakland, Seattle, and Cleveland haven't looked like the teams people thought they were going to be.
  16. The twins have to be leading the league in runs scored without an RBI, right?
  17. Part of me feels this way, but another part of me wants to see what that AA team can do in the first half of their season.
  18. I'm not sure that I prefer a 5 game series over a typical 3 game series, but I know that I like that the Southern League said "EFF it, let's do 5 game series, even though everyone else does 3-gamers" Good for them
  19. It's interesting that they do 5 game series. It's not like these teams are spread way out. The longest drive is probably Jackson, MS to Jacksonville, FL, which is about 8 hours.
