  1. amazed at what the Twins see in him. Lucky for him, but I believe MN plans on keeping him, the minor league relievers have been battling injuries (oliveras, guerra, guittierrez, waldrop earlier in yr) all yr.
  2. Perfect time for Gray to have a 5 run inning.
  3. If Liddle gets the promotion over Roberts.....it really goes to show the good ole boys network is still workin. Its not how you play, but who you're related to in this organizaion. Wouldnt surprise me either tho.
  4. Personally, think Dozier will end up up around .260/.270 at yrs end......which means he may have to hit .290 or so 2nd half. Am expecting it.
  5. With TKs comments on Evan Bigley...(said basically he's a future MLB player & likes him alot), could he be goin up to ROC & we've seen the end of Clete Thomas perhaps!!!! Nate Roberts could go up to Ft Myers to take Benson's spot......avalanche effect hopefully.
  6. Possible, but this would again anger me as it keeps retreads like Casey Fien & Jeff Gray (who have NO future with team) on the club over a guy like Robertson (left handed specialist only...and a MN developed player) gets the axe.I hate adding guys over our own developed guys....massive pet peeve. Duensing probably wouldnt start if PJ Walters didnt have a setback. Walters (back in TCities for an evaluation) said he's not back to square 1 (in Star Tribune) but its a defiante setback.
  7. Then we'd have to include Drew Butera & that could be a dealbreaker for Gardy & co.
  8. If we do a Liriano deal w/NYY.....todays SP from Trenton...Brett Marshall...could be in the package. Held NBrit scorelss thru 5.2IP 2h 6k 82 pitches....Yanks #11 propsect entering season. BAmerica says he can be a #3 type starter. Already had TJ surgery 2 yrs ago that took away a plus fastball, now sits in low 90s but adjusted
  9. Tom Kelly just said on Twins broadcast that they expect Benson to be back in New Brit on Monday
  10. Rogers is having a great 5 starts season for ELIZ after havin a VERY forgettable career @ Kentucky. Suddenly he's turned into a K guy......funny how things can change so fast.
  11. Im one who believes that runs scored is a stat that shows off a players skills of getting on base & baserunning skills (not necessarily basestealing but base to base & xtra base taking), while others believe it is a virtue of leaving it up to other players to knock you in. Herrmann leads the Eastern League in runs scored as a catcher with 57 (heading into Sundays game....Aaron Hicks 2nd w/55 despite missing a couple wks)
  12. Entering Sunday, Colabello in the Eastern Lg ranks Tied for lead lg in doubles wit 26 2nd in RBI with 65 (to teammate Evan Bigleys 66) Tied for 4th (w/Evan Bigley) in Total Bases w/153 7th in slugging @ .489 8th in runs scored with 51 (Chris Herrmann leads with 57..Hicks with 55) 13th in OPS w/ .826 Just saying that the 28 yr old is blocked @ AAA by 32 yr old Sean Burroughs. I realize you want organizational depth, but Sean is not even the next up at his possible positions. If youre playing poorly like Burroughs (only hitting for average....weak average at that), consiquences should be had. Rochester should be able to have players playing for them that they deserve. 8th in HR w/13
  13. thought you were thinking in spring training that Keplar shoulda been in Beloit to start season OR at least in Beloit when SS started---Niko also??? Why the philosiphy change?
  14. While I dont truly agree with the reasoning, MN gets a 'free' year out of Berrios.....meaning that with the new signing period, other #1 pick pitchers wouldnt participate at all during the drafted season. My thought is if he continues to dominate, he should go to ELIZ & if it continues.....Beloit to start next year to challenge him. I am following the way BALT did with Dylan Bundy....know he's a top top prospect, but if you dont challenge a guy..you dont know what he can accomplish.
  15. good enough.....can you say if it was a ongoin thing or a one outburst type of event???
  16. Twins have commented they will give DeVries one more start at least. Because his 4.37 ERA is such an embarrasment that they would go back to Walters/Blackburn/Hendriks (whom I like)who havent pitched as well as Cole has so far. Last nite was the anomoly for Cole, but a good start for Blackburn.
  17. Arcia spent his year 19 entirely in ELIZ (64gms) for comparison purposes, but this is Keplars 2nd yr in the lg (72gms) & 3rd overall. He is gonna have to be protected on 40man in 2 yrs after this. That is a gamble you have to take with signing a 16 yr old, so I think they may need to take a different approach. Not like the kid isnt doin EVERYTHING he needs to do (after the 0/13). By 'great state of Wisconsin', I am bein sarcastic & know they probably wont let him into the state till he can legally drink (not like it stops anyone else)
  18. why isnt a first round (supplemental I know) high school pick able to be compared to another high school first round pick (#4 I get it)???Bundy didnt pitch last year so in comparison, this is a freebie year of development.....but how the Twins view him will be determined by what they do with him next year.
  19. 5/11 over last 3gms w/double triple 2rbi 2bb Since the 0/13 first 3.... 19gms 24/68 .353/.511/.485 16runs 3doubles 3 triples 12rbi 16bb 6k 6hbp Pretty impressive.....when should he see the great state of Wisconsin???
  20. gave up his first run tonight getting the loss Now 19.1 IP 10h 1er 25k 9bb
  21. 4 games back in New Brit for him since re-activation, but it doesnt seem they are stretching him out to start anymore 9.2 IP 12h 4er 9k 4bb Have they stopped his progress again by keeping him in pen or is his arm still not 100%
  22. activated tonight & got the save with a scoreless 2K 9th.......guess there was no elbow problems THAT bad
  23. optioned back to New Brit...not good when Jeff Manship & Nick Blackburn are the guys who run you out of town
  24. this one is interesting to watch on how MN handles him. Berrios IS a first round pick. Last yrs #1 picks didnt pitch (many anyways) as they signed late. BALTs Dylan Bundy started his 19 yr old season in Low A with a promotion to High A. Where will Berrios start....ELIZ of course as MNs goal is to fill their minor league rosters , NOT to get guys to the majors ASAP. Mn promotes according to age, not performance
  25. My fault....double checked & it IS 2B. Would want him regardless tho Worried a bit about Capps.....went 1/2/3 but only hit 91mph
