    Florimon played all three infield spots in Rochester after he was sent down. He made a lot of errors, but that seems to go with playing on minor league fields.

    The top five farm teams all had winning records and three made it to postseason. New Britain had some brutal stretches, but finished just out of the playoffs and Rochester had most of their team recalled at one point or another and came up one game short. Good luck in the playoffs E-Town, Cedar Rapids, and Fort Myers!

    I can't say that Hicks or Tonkin earned their promotions, but they displayed enough upside to get a chance to play in the majors in September. Achter was awesome in the first half, pedestrian in the second, but overall his numbers were good and his is a pretty good story. Darnell will probably be used in Deduno's role, and with the starting pitching as bad as it has been, there is a need for that. I really want to see Pinto a lot behind the plate the rest of the way. I would rather see Escobar play than Hicks, but the Twins need to see if there is improvement from a former top prospect and draft pick.

    I consider Polanco to be quite a ways from ready. He got his few days in because he was on the 40-man roster. He's only just 21 and had <200 PAs at AA, .281 BA, but only .665 OPS, but he did finish strong.
  5. stringer bell
    I like Oliveros. He has done well, except when his arm was bothering him. He can make a case for being on the staff in 2015.

    Bernier: He is being rewarded for his service to the organization for the last two years. They can't afford to keep him on the 40-man after the season is over, so Bernier will have the option to decide whether to stay with the Twins organization at that time. Bernier hit .280 with a .740 OPS, Florimon hit .257 with an OPS of .717 and is seven years younger. I am not a Florimon fan, but beyond this year, I'd rather have him than Bernier. Herrmann: He hit over .300 for Rochester with an OPS of .878. If one is to reward someone for a good season, Herrmann deserves promotion. The C-OF position flexibility will probably get him some playing time in 2015, while he's still a long-shot to make the club out of spring training. Herrmann caught plenty of games in Rochester. Using him behind the plate wouldn't be an emergency or desperation. Hicks: He was in a slump until the last two games, where he had two hits in each. That raised his line to an okay, but not overwhelming .329/.377/.706 in 24 games. He had a good run of 43 games in New Britain. Does that undo what he did in Minnesota? Doubtless, Hicks will be getting playing time, probably at the expense of Escobar. Should he be playing left (with Schafer in center) or center?

    Just spend an inning or two out there. It is a different view.
  8. stringer bell
    Nice to have a three-run lead. Not nice to give one up right away.
  9. stringer bell
    Check out the monster seats. My brother and I sat there.
  10. stringer bell
    Didn't hurt a bit, did it Halsey?
  11. stringer bell
    3 3-run innings all set up by 3B misplays. Miller has been lights out this year except when facing the Twins.
  12. stringer bell
    Not any more!
  13. stringer bell
    With the Dozier K, I now doubt the Twins will score this inning.
  14. stringer bell
    I doubt the Twins could have turned 3-6-3 DP. Maybe if he touched first and threw home.
  15. stringer bell
    Bremer is right. No way should all three runs be earned.
  16. stringer bell
    Mauer has one more triple than Dozier. Thanks Delmon!
  17. stringer bell
    How come no one is mentioning Dozier's hitting streak? He has an 11-gamer IIRC.
  18. stringer bell
    Back to the game. Gladden was talking up Dozier for a Gold Glove. I think he was better last year.
  19. stringer bell
    Zuke regression continues.
  20. stringer bell
    Hope the flight improved as you went on.
  21. stringer bell
    Rewarded for a nice season: Bernier, Herrmann, Achter. Upside: Hicks, Pinto (decent season), Tonkin. Oliveros has had a fine year and has some potential. Darnell had a good year and he's LH and breathing.
  22. stringer bell
    Pryor has been very good in Rochester. Johnson is pitching today for the Red Wings. Is it possible they will add both after the Red Wings game today?
  23. stringer bell
    They were at 38 before letting Deduno go, Thompson took his place. Ibarra taken off makes 37. This makes room to add Achter, Bernier, and Oliveros.
  24. stringer bell
    Beat me JB! The only surprise to me Bernier. I really wanted to see Oliveros and had mixed feeling about Achter (good story though) of the non-roster guys. Let's hope we see some promise from the callups!
  25. stringer bell
    Here's the August pitching numbers. As good as the Twins' hitting numbers were last month, these numbers are bad. The bullpen has regressed badly. I do think they are worn out, but they aren't as good as their ERAs and regression to the mean is part of what has happened. I wouldn't be offended if the club called up five or six pitchers today and shut down or released three or four. http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/pitching/_/name/min/split/44/minnesota-twins
