    A clean inning from Sands. Some Sands blasting

    Last year TX had no relief, do they have anything this year?
  3. Doctor Gast
    Twins need some offense fast
  4. Doctor Gast
    I see you are from Roswell. Have you seen any aliens lately?

    Thanks Seth, I enjoyed your interview with Sean Aronson about the AAA players. 100% for ABS to come to MLB as soon as possible w/o the challenge. IMO the challenge will slow the game especially if you have a questionable UMP.

    I understand the necessity of limiting walks, especially with extra focus on velo & stuff & our staff should be applauded. But IMO it's also prudent sometimes to give up a walk than allow a hitter to do some damage & have the wisdom to know when,

    Great news, Lewis in AAA & Lee should join him soon. Raja is young & talented the secret is preserving his young arm & exposing him to hitters much older than him. As many are anxious to see him pitch deeper into games. IMO they are proceeding with him properly.

    Thank you Greg for those insights. Through this summer sausage spree, we had a couple of players embrace the sausage & did very well, The majority of players were indifferent with various results & there were some put-off by the sausage maybe they were the ones that were hitting poorly during that time. The secret is getting everybody on board. Everybody loved our rally squirrel & rally caps, can we get everybody behind the rally sausage?

    After the early 2 runs Ober battled to keep us in the game. Hats off to Vazquez for driving in the 1st run & putting 2 runners in scoring position & to Kiriloff's HR. We needed those guys to hit & they came thru when we needed them. I'm a big Buxton fan & love it when he goes on his hitting spree but we also need him to come thru with a single when we runners in scoring position. We needed the BP to shut down TX & they did a fine job.

    Great AB by Kepler!
  11. Doctor Gast
    Good AB for Vaz! Maybe he's ready to do something offensively
  12. Doctor Gast
    We got this guy on the ropes let's take him to town.
  13. Doctor Gast
    Kiriloff honers! I love it!
  14. Doctor Gast
    That's how you do it! Good job Vazquez! Let's keep it going!
  15. Doctor Gast
    With 2 runners in scoring position, Buxton has to find a way to at least get a single.
  16. Doctor Gast
    Castro has been over-stretched mentally as well as physically with the injuries of Lewis, Correa & Buxton at those key positions. Keirsey was more needed in their absence but still, he deserves to get his feet wet. It seems like he has trended up as he is promoted. The problem is there are some on the 40 man that are occupying space that Keirsey needs. Management is hesitant to make that space. As I said before I'd rather have our guys with the opportunities than bringing others in. And Keirsey is one of them.

    I've had & presently suffering from plantar fasciitis. I can tell you it's very painful. It's difficult to walk much less constantly putting pressure on it playing SS. It's difficult for me to fathom how he did it. He normally starts slow & his current production is very welcome & has been a rock in the absence of Lewis. Besides his hitting, his defense has been even more solid. I enjoy watching good defense over HRs any day. IMO he's worth his $30MM price tag. A line drive clutch hitter that has power with elite defense. His greatest value cannot be measured by stats. He's great mentor, great feel for the game, great leader on & off the field & he kicks it into another gear when we need it down the stretch & into the postseason. A player that's needed if you want to advance.

    There are trade ideas floating around & Emma is in a few of them. Personally, I wouldn't trade any of them. If there was an absolute elite SP for sale, the only one I'd consider is Jenkins, Because all we see in Jenkins is upside & value is based on that, his floor is unknown. Again I wouldn't want to trade any of them unless we were given an offer we can't refuse.
  19. Doctor Gast
    I'm high on Martin too, IMO he'll make an impact on the Twins but 4th? Interesting.
  20. Doctor Gast
    You get a few extra votes through hype
  21. Doctor Gast
    Timely article Cody, I was thinking the same thing. Emma has risen in the national polls. He has answered the question marks of can he stick in CF & can he hit high Milb? He has shown that he do all that & then some. These guys are very close. I agree, when you look at ceiling I'd rank Jenkins, Emma & Lee. Floor it'd be Lee, Emma & Jenkins, Lee & Emma have very little to prove now while Jenkins still have a lot to prove. IMO the early prolonged injuries to Lee & Jenkins has taken some shine from them. I maybe alone in my rankings but I'd place them Emma, Jenkins, Lee.

    Great night on the farm! Hats off to Culpepper for 6 perfect innings. I think there's some deserving promotions out there. Let's see them.
  23. Doctor Gast
    A good point Seth. Keirsey isn't on the 40 man, so they are more hesitant to bring him up until they have a clear player to drop from the 40 man or Keirsey makes it too hard to keep him down.
  24. Doctor Gast
    Thanks 1985. Everybody looked downed on the Central Division. Most picked MN, some picked DET to take the division & gave credence to KC because they were the most active in the off-season, CLE was ignored because they did nothing. The Central especially CLE surprised everyone & now teams have to respect us. IMO being busy in the off-season doesn't make you a better team if you don't address your weakness. We didn't. We added where we were adequately covered & we gave up more than what we gained. IMO FO felt they needed to do something to have a successful off-season that bad transactions are better than no transactions. IMO we had a great team. Great clutch hitters in Lewis & Polanco. Great veterans in Correa, Buxton & Kepler offensively & defensively. Pretty darn good rotation, a very balanced catching tandem & a very good young supportive group that needed playing time. We lacked nothing to win the division but lacked a high-end postseason SP that could be picked up at the trade deadline along with maybe some rental player to cover a need due to injury or ineffectiveness. Right now we need Royce Lewis to return, Buxton to be more productive to help Correa lead the rest of the team to be more productive, Varland & Alcala be brought up to the BP. Return of Steward & Canterino. We'd be very competitive then & when the deadline come we can assess our needs.

    Miranda should be playing if not for us then for someone else. Preferably for us, unless we get a fair offer & Baldelli won't play him enough.
