    Tonkin has done a nice job in Rochester. Time for him to establish himself in the majors.

    Many of us have been waiting for the Twins' top prospects to dominate in the minors this year. So far, it has been hit and miss, with probably more misses than hits. On top of the prospect list and on the list of disappointments is Byron Buxton. He has been ranked the #1 prospect in the minors by many and consistently is in the top five. So far, Buxton's numbers have been pedestrian (to be kind). "Buck" currently has a .221 batting average and is sporting an OPS of .665, hardly numbers to be excited about. However, after sitting out a couple of days, Buxton seems to be warming up. In his last five games, he is 6-18, with a homer and five RBI. He has stolen a base in each of the last three games and has walked five times, while striking out only once. In this small sample, Buxton has reached base in 48% of his plate appearances and slugged .500. I think the key numbers here are the walks and strikeouts. In his first 54 PAs, he struck out 14 times and had four walks, so he's been much more selective and made contact. Another ten games or so of similar production would make his numbers far less disappointing. Meanwhile, Miguel Sano has found Southern League pitching quite a puzzle so far. He's also been out of the lineup some and is currently slashing a walk-enhanced .292/.333/.625. His BB/K ratio is 11/20. I guess it will take some time to scrape off the rust for both of these prized prospects.

    Hicks and Rosario are in the lineup playing for the Red Wings, as is Pinto.
  4. stringer bell
    Still early. Yes, so far Hicks has done fine, but mostly from the right side. Given Schafer's struggles in the field, I think Hicks might be a bit of an upgrade, but Hicks isn't a good center fielder. I still would rather see Rosario get promoted, and he hits lefty as does the guy to be replaced.

    Great job, Danchat. A rather key game for the Twins, I think. If they win, they will have won four of five series and beaten both of the top division teams at home. A win would also give them a 6-3 record at home, indicating they can play with anybody at Target Field. Hughes is due for a win, and the team is due to break out offensively. I'll be anxious to see if Vargas can get it together. Another rough day might get him a one-way ticket to Rochester NY.

    Day game after a night game. I presume Dozier will be back, what about Vargas? Hunter is o-fer the Series. Where to play Escobar and maybe Nunez.
  7. stringer bell
    Pretty sure that Pelf's FIP declined quite a bit from tonight's start.
  8. stringer bell
    My, my Chi-Town. I didn't realize you were so easily pleased!
  9. stringer bell
    Really nice win.
  10. stringer bell
    I'm not saying it is all you can ask for, but the Twins got the ball to their closer with a lead.
  11. stringer bell
    Perk gets Miggy, V-Mart and the other Martinez. If he gets a save tonight, he will have earned it.
  12. stringer bell
    Outstanding. Good hitting. Pelf might get a well-earned W.
  13. stringer bell
    OK, was last year's offense a total mirage? If not, this club is really due to break out. Where is the power?
  14. stringer bell
    Pelf gets some rope for his last two outings. I think Milone is on the hot seat.
  15. stringer bell
    "Watching" on Gameday. What happened?
  16. stringer bell
    Cespedes isn't that good of a hitter, but he absolutely kills the Twins.
  17. stringer bell
    Two out singles for both teams! Now Santana needs to steal second.
  18. stringer bell
    Knowing that you can't assume a double play, is that run earned or unearned?
  19. stringer bell
    I wonder what the Twins record is when they strike out more hitters than they strike out themselves.
  20. stringer bell
    Pitch to no-contact!
  21. stringer bell
    Past halfway to K quota (figuring a 7 inning outing).
  22. stringer bell
    Pelf should get double credit for fanning Victor.
  23. stringer bell
    Beaten to the punch by Milldaddy!
  24. stringer bell
    Cy Pelfrey!
  25. stringer bell
    According to Gameday, both Pelf and Sanchez have a game score of 50. Great start Pelf. Oh, snap!
