    So would I. Maybe they could work out an agreement to sign him after Hill goes on IL so that there`d be flexibility in the 40 man roster. Looks like they are in communication w/ him. As long as those who need work in spring training get it, the more the merrier
  2. Doctor Gast
    I was thinking tyhe same thing!
  3. Doctor Gast
    If Romero`s heart is in starting, I`d say give him a shot if this isn`t a problem then put him in a relief role. Whatever easiest for him to turn it around. Maybe a relief role in the ML would be better because Wes Johnson has more contact w/ him. The role that they`re putting Graterol, I`d rather see Romero. After he`s settled in they could ease him in starting
  4. Doctor Gast
    Being 4th prospect overall he must have a lot of potential. As a non-roster invitee w/ a commitment we can sign him when Hill goes on IL. w/o having to effect the 40 man. See what he & Wes can do, it could be a fantastic
  5. Doctor Gast
    Plus teaching that to the rest of the line up especially the young ones! Wow ! what a powerful line-up that will be

    Romero has the stuff. It weird that some pitchers can get batters to chase after their breaking balls & others the batters are able to lay off. Romero is one of the unfortunate ones. I don`t know if he`s telegraphing or he`s too predictable. So some how he needs to throw breaking balls for strike & mix it up a little & hopefully become the pitcher he`s capable of becoming w/us
  7. Doctor Gast
    I think they all have somethings to work on. Romero has more to lose so I`m cheering for him. I`ve already shared my views on Graterol. W/ all the runs we are capable of all our prospect hopefully will get a lot of opportunity to work out all their problems. W/ this opportunity we could get other high upside projects

    To me uniforms are no big deal but this uniform represents the "twinkies", this expression for many devote Twins fans is a great slam. This uniform came at the end of Carew`s career as a Twin & died after They won their 1st series. To me I`d rather see it stay dead. That said I`m not ashamed of the players who tried their best during this time
  9. Doctor Gast
    Totally agree w/ what have been written which in the long run & everything considered Donaldson will prove to everyone that he`s worth every penny he`ll get. He seems like a great mentor. He can help so much to teach our young hitters w/ his refined compact swing. Sano to shorten his swing & Lewis to find his style that works
  10. Doctor Gast
    When I 1st saw Sano play I was amazed how quick he was for a big man. w/ a full spring training he`d be fine at 1B or 3B. But I think it`s best having him at 1B because of his leg especially in the long run. At 1B he still needs to be careful. I still remember Harmon making that transition from 3B to 1B, at the all-star game he hurt himself making a long stretch.

    It`ll be interesting how the new arms will fare & that includes the ones who will be ready to make that jump this year

    Congrats to a great player & person! You deserve to be there! long live M&Ms

    Unless Astudillo really turns it around I`d go w/ Cave. It`d give Astudillo more time to work on his plate discipline. I like the idea of keeping Kepler in RF & having a purer CF like Jarrod Dyson, can we 1st put him AAA w/o needing to putting him on the 40 man? Hopefully we can trade some players off the 40 man. Gordon definitely not although I see him improving this year, he`ll take awhile to adjust to the ML & won`t be much more than average. I`d like to see him traded, he could fit better in a different org. Like I stated in a different article w/ the Twins flexibility of covering all the bases, couldn`t we bring up an extra pitcher & be more creative w/ the rotation?
  14. Doctor Gast
    We were definitely saved by the Rain because up to then we were definitely below par. Using grade C as no change, looking at SP where was the greater change & impact. Grading Gibson- Bailey at no higher than D+. Gibson had shown great progress in the last 2yrs. if not for illness last year would have been phenomenal. Now that he has that under control he has much more upside. Perez-Hall both you won`t get a full year but because of more uncertainty I rate C- . Castro-Avila are similar but I rate Castro better C-. Les impact Dyson- Clippard I give a B+. Donaldson although he`s a A+ player for me to give this trade-off an A+ Cron would have to be a dog off, & def. which he isn`t. Because of the Donaldson-Cron impact I`d rate it a B+ . Overall a B-, very happy overall SP as I see a bigger regression, we could use an upgrade

    It`s wonderful to have a "plethora" (this has been a very popular word it seems in the last several years) of very versatile players. Gonzalez filled in for Sano in the beginning of last year on a full time basis & he did a fantastic job! Adrianza has proved himself. Astudillo has shown he has potential but needs work on especially his plate discipline, if he`s devoted as I think he is, he`ll overcome this . Lewis has great potential to be a great utility player until he settles in a position,plus we have a ton of outfield & pitching talent just aching to play in the majors. This said, I have 2 comments. 1st forgive me Wes but I have difficulty starting Graterol in the pen. It`s easier to convert a starter into a reliever than vise versa. Gaterol should nave the opportunity in preseason & later in the minors to work on his secondary pitches & I also put Romero in this category if it`s not too late. We have several pitchers who have came up from the minors & have proven they can play in the majors. They should be given this open BP slot unless they some how fall apart. Gaterol should be given every opportunity to start on the majors level as soon as possible. I don`t think exposure is a problem w/ Gaterol 2nd w/ all these versatile players I think we could carry less positional players & carry more pitchers to use more creativity. 3rd use a rotating system from minors to majors to actively use our talent to give the young ones more experience & rest to the more experience

    Gonzalez is a very good acquisition he came in a pinch when Sano was injured & did very well thru out the year even though he had a late start! This year he`ll be more settled. Balance is the key I believe. Sano seems like he`s more patient at the plate but I believe he could shorten his swing when he has 1 or 2 strikes. He`s so strong he could still hit it out. Kepler seems to have found his groove. Rosario could be more patient & Astudillo most definitely

    https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/its-time-to-break-up-the-rockies/ this could quickly become fire sale! A great opportunity for Twins
  18. Doctor Gast
    I live in Brazil & I don`t get a lot of rumors on what the Twins FO is doing so I`d appreciate it if anybody can tell me how serious the FO is in seeking a pitching trade? & possibles. TD is my primary Twins source
  19. Doctor Gast
    I can see that. Also AR & CO we know they won`t be in it but they have hopes. If things get ugly w/ Arenado, CO could be out of it sooner than we think
  20. Doctor Gast
    Everybody would like these veterans to succeed but Bailey`s prediction is that he`ll recede & don`t know if his style will do well here. Hopefully Hall will recover enough for one more hurrah but at his age it`s not guaranteed. I`m not putting my hope on them
  21. Doctor Gast
    I tend to agree w/all except #2 is the most difficult. I believe Arraez`s bat is for real but his defense will keep him off the allstars. Now that they`ll keep an eye on cheating we should win a play-off series & who knows they might make it to the Big One if they get that impact pitcher!
  22. Doctor Gast
    Next to our awesome offense our BP is our next strength. Last year after a great start the BP tanked some what. I was disappointed that FO didn`t signed any big names but became amazed at how the BP took shape thru our system from out of nowhere. We have still a lot of untapped talent ready to be released. Our BP will be great this year
  23. Doctor Gast
    Yeah, I`d maybe give Walker an invitation but I`d like to give someone like Romero every opportunity to prove himself. Then figure out what to do w/him. Hope he catches on fire
  24. Doctor Gast
    You reminded me of another reason to hold off a little on Graterol. I think a change of scenery might be good & well for Romero, who has a lot of potential, but as long as he`s a Twin he should have every opportunity to prove himself, his last year & increase trade value or maybe he could break out
  25. Doctor Gast
    Love your blog! I was hoping someone would come up w/ this. Although my 1st choice would be to find a diamond in the rough from a team that has no chance of competing MIA,PIT or SF. Eventually it comes down to this, deadline push. Jon Gray is also my 1st choice. Even though a team w/ decent pitching could be competing for an play-off spot, they might be open to trade pitching to bolster an obvious weakness which would increase their trade-ability pts,
