    Of the top 3 prospects, Lee is closest to the show. It's all a proccess & now we are waiting for him to knock down the door. With all the MLB ready talent down in AAA, it's long overdue to try to undo as many of the costly mistakes done this offseason as possible.
  2. Doctor Gast
    The NYY are running
  3. Doctor Gast
    Will be high scoring game. Hope the Twins are up for that.
  4. Doctor Gast
    I'd rather have Miranda at 1B
  5. Doctor Gast
    Okert was fine in the beginning with MIA. But down the stretch he was undependable. MIA was more than happy to trade him off. He has to show that he can change & work his fastball

    That's the thing nobody can argue balls & strikes. Then throw out the review replay have strictly the human error. If you consent to that then you should have nothing to complain about, Angel Hernandez should not be demonized because that's just part of the game. Fairness should be held to the highest level. That doesn't sterilize the game, IMO overanalyzing does. Treating players only as stats & numbers.

    Yes, Castro is doing a fine job in LF. Martin started out well but like most rookies that's not Lewis their start end up slow but comes roaring back when recalled. Keirsey needs to be put on the 40 man be called up to get his feet wet he has potential & these guys are good subs for CF. Then we have Wallner who'll return a better hitter than when he left, Larnach after his toe heals and Kiriloff is used too much in the OF, just returning from shoulder & wrist problems. IMO that could be his hitting problem even though there's no obvious xrays manifestations. I'd want him to play more at 1B, IMO hitting would become better. Emma needs a call up just so he'd know what work on his hitting to adjust to MLB. So I think we are sitting just fine at LF & our main need is a postseason SP.
  8. Doctor Gast
    No, I'd rather stick with Julien, Miranda & Kiriloff & see how far they can take us. We kind of blew our wad for DeSclavani, Topa, Margot & Santana that was very bad management so we can't afford the $ & prospects for Alonzo even if he's worth it, which IMO he isn't. For the big game, I still have faith in Lopez to come through but not so much Ryan, Ober or Paddack. We need another SP who we can produce into another Lopez to start a postseason game. I'd make a trade for more reasonable Luzardo or Cabrera for more years who can really help us.

    Great to have Lewis back! They pitched away from him until they made a mistake & he hit a HR. Hope the rest of the lineup wakes up soon. Didn't understand why they had Miranda playing 1B against a RHP since we had Santana. Nevertheless, the result might have been the same & it was nice seeing him playing there. If Santana can't hit RHPs why have him?

    It happens a lot with NYY, Lucky we have instant review to overturn incorrect calls otherwise that great Lewis/ Miranda play would been safe. The sooner we have an electronic balls/ strikes system the better.
  11. Doctor Gast
    Come on MN pinstripes rally time
  12. Doctor Gast
    Great play by Lewis & Miranda
  13. Doctor Gast
    Thank you Jeremy for putting in the work here. I really can't get excited about this draft. I like Walker Janek (C) but IMO it's too little too late. Even if the Twins do decide to take a catcher 1st round.
  14. Doctor Gast
    Absolutely not, especially if someone has to gain something. It's only what I gathered, it's my opinion, nothing more. I don't think I'm the only one who has this opinion about Canterino.
  15. Doctor Gast
    Thanks
  16. Doctor Gast
    It'll be a tough game but I hope the Twins can pull it out on my birthday! I'm excited to see Lewis play!
  17. Doctor Gast
    Pretty much my sentiments. As of now HOU said they aren't dealing & I'm not sure about NYM
  18. Doctor Gast
    IMO the most important things is not how many runs you score (via HR or whatever) it's when you score them (clutch hitting & not striking out). With the addition of Lewis & the subtraction of Margot, Santana & maybe Farmer if he can't turn it around, I like our chances.
  19. Doctor Gast
    Like Duran, Canterino doesn't have the arm to be expected to pitch in the rotation. But Canterino has electric stuff & he's smart, IMO he'd be fine in the BP & dominates.
  20. Doctor Gast
    Besides the good pitching they already have, they have Weathers, Myers & Munoz ready to take that next step. I'd love we went full in & traded for both Lopez & Luzardo at the time. Nevertheless Luzardo would be a great fit in MN. Luzardo is LH & good friend of Lopez from Venezuela. Gonzales should be on top of the list with maybe Festa (2 of our top 5) 2 of our top SS prospects in Schobel & De Andrade. MIA would want a good catching prospect but we don't have any really (we can still throw one in anyway). This would be a good trade if MIA likes it. In any case they need to check to see if Luzardo's arm is OK before pulling the trigger. It appears MIA wants only prospects but if they would take a young player that could be figured in.
  21. Doctor Gast
    I'm happy with how the group sits right now. Especially now they have Alcala up & using him right. I'm interested in Diego Castillo return to MLB. Consequently he has resolved his command problem to go with his stuff. For the time being they should have Varland in the BP & up at MLB. The same goes for Canterino whenever he gets back & ramped up. And of course the return of Stewart, our BP could be the best.
  22. Doctor Gast
    From the 1st time I saw him I knew that Lewis has that something special. His baseball knowledge & most of all his attitude & leadership. Even if he doesn't hit any grand-slams, he'll be the contributing factor. He'll be psyed up & ready to play. Can't wait to see him on the field again.
  23. Doctor Gast
    I'm a defense freak, I love to watch good defense. But even I know that 1B is where you want a player to hit the snot out of the ball not how well he plays defense. I don't understand why so many put so much importance on defense at 1B & ignore the importance of defense at catcher, SS, CF & 2B. IMO it's ridiculous to sign Santana because of his defense.
  24. Doctor Gast
    The best solution was not getting Margot & Santana. They log jamming their positions. We have Keirsey, Wallner & Martin that should be playing ball. Julien was not demoted he was sent down to work on his swing hopefully that won't take long. When he comes back he'll be a better player. That is what we need to look at
  25. Doctor Gast
    I wouldn't do it but. It'd take a lot, for my friends here is a couple examples. Julien straight up plus a throw in according to BTV. Athletics NAME POSITION SURPLUS Emmanuel Rodriguez OF 22.1 Gabriel Gonzalez OF 11.0 David Festa SP 8.7 Tanner Schobel SS 8.0 Total Value: 49.8 49.80 Twins NAME POSITION SURPLUS Mason Miller RP 47.8 Total Value: 47.80 If OAK does sell there'll be a lot of competion so knowing OAK, they'll won't sell unless they get moon. IMO we'll be fine with Duran, Steward, Jax, Varland & Canterino
