    I might not know what I`m talking about but I think his approach is fine, to foul off pitches outside the zone & wait for pitches which he likes in the zone. I wouldn`t want change anything that might interfere w/ his rhythm.

    I`m so thankful that we have the DH rule that enabled us to take that extra risk of going that high of offer for Donaldson. When I saw him in a hitting video after we signed him, I was so excited what he could bring to the Twins as a mentor especially for Lewis (although it seems like Lewis still needs to work it out but he will & he could be great). Then I saw him in ST, his moves @ 3B were fluid & automation it was a joy to see. Last but not least is his hitting, he compliment the line up very nicely. Wish him a healthy & prosperous career @ MN.

    I`ve heard Chacin is working on some stuff & other stuff so I`m starting to cheer him on
  4. Doctor Gast
    There is no reason for him to play hurt last year, we have abundant of quality LF substitutes. Rosario seems sincere when said he`ll improve in LF & his plate discipline. Hopefully he`ll resist temptation of trying to be the hero when the game is on the line

    You name pretty much who`s on my radar. Kiriloff & Larnach are MLB ready but lacks slots even w/ injury. My hope is on Lewis, Celestino & Jeffers. Only one you didn`t name is Colina, he has an arm on him
  6. Doctor Gast
    Looks like he`ll be the #5 pitcher unless something drastic happens which I hope not
  7. Doctor Gast
    I we get them while they`re down & get some revenge time

    I was torn between the 2 who was the best but Lewis has come out on top IMO. Because of his athleticism, he plays the important positions where the Twins are short in depth in CF & SS. Kiriloff plays less important corner outfield & 1B where we have an abundance of quality options. Lewis had a great AFL & now he`s tinkering on his swing again, when he figures it out he`ll be great.

    I`m a big fan of the new philosophy of tech & allowing pitchers to develop according to their style, putting us on the same playing field as teams like LA & CLE. That gives us the opportunity to go out & find high end pitchers that are stuck in old school teams which are under performing & under rated, get them play up to their potential beside developing home grown prospects

    I`m sorry to be off the subject but will Romero be able to play if he`s ready?
  11. Doctor Gast
    Yes we don`t have anyone knocking down the door at SS right now but for your information we have an all-star SS right now in Polanco & he`s sign for how many years? 4? & how many years will he be able to play for the Twins. I believe as many as he wants to. By that time Lewis will be ready & Cavaco has progress very quickly he could be ready by that time also & maybe even a lottery ticket or 2, Adrianza is better than Gordon & is able to sub until Lewis is ready
  12. Doctor Gast
    This month it all starts.YEAH! It`s still too early to make a judgement. Time will tell.
  13. Doctor Gast
    I wonder his stomach problem could be nerves. Gordon was a great HS school player but what was his competition? I see him as improving at AAA this year but also see him having difficulty adjusting to MLB & don`t see him getting any better than avg. We have a lot of SS prospects coming up IMO Gordon should be traded at deadline.
  14. Doctor Gast
    Thanks Seth, this year looks very promising!
  15. Doctor Gast
    Thanks for that insightful article, help gives us a promising outlook about Rosario. & I totally agree that Rosario needs to communicate any problems so he he can heal. We have players who can sub. I imagine he`s wearing some sort of ankle support. He probably needs one all season
  16. Doctor Gast
    Very interesting article but I disagree that last year was a inferior rotation. When the BP were pitching over their heads the rotation were able to pitch fantastic but when Blake folded, the BP folded which the rotation had to pitch extended innings. Pineda & Odorizzi were kept on limited innings so they fared better. But Gibson & Perez were not when the desperately needed to be so their #s took a nose dive through out the 2nd half. All because we didn`t have the pitching depth to plug in young arm which were ready. This year we should have plenty of depth. The rotation should have plenty of rest. But I share your concerns. Hill has the stuff if his treatment is successful. Those who think that Maeda will transform into an impact pitcher that`ll pitch constantly 7 innings are delusional, besides all he`ll need to adapt to in coming here. I don`t have much faith in Bailey or Chasin
  17. Doctor Gast
    WOW! w/ that type of arsenal, wouldn`t he be better suited as a SP?
  18. Doctor Gast
    I`m sorry, I don`t see that happening. Giving up that much (although we can spare Kirloff, I really like him) & then having to pay his salary. I rather find a potentially Verlander level pitcher & develop him.
  19. Doctor Gast
    Looks like Kirloff & Larnach are MLB ready, too bad there isn`t any room. Wade looked good in the outfield. Gordon, I wonder if has problems w/ nerves. I believe he`ll improve in AAA this season but doubt he`d be ready for the bigs
  20. Doctor Gast
    Hrbek & Gaetti were a wonderful duo not only offensively but defensively. Offensively Donaldson & Sano are capable of blowing the lid off this thing
  21. Doctor Gast
    If we are forced for some reason in the near future need a long term center fielder replacement (heaven forbid) or any other position & need to trade. For goodness sake DON`T TRADE ANY MORE OUR YOUNG ARMS.
  22. Doctor Gast
    Hopefully there`s no rush getting him back, as long as he`s stretched out before Oct.
  23. Doctor Gast
    Unbelievable, the only one I`ve heard of is Molina. Very promising!
  24. Doctor Gast
    The pundits have MN behind HOU, how far behind I don`t know. They had #9 HOU & #10 BOS but now I see it was before Maeda trade
  25. Doctor Gast
    Yes, he`s fine the way he is, he doesn`t have to be a home run hitter. Hopefully he`ll lead off & put a lot of pressure the pitchers to get the ball over the plate for the Bomba Squad to hit him in.
