    Who?

    think to a person everyone here wishes Berrios was up sooner (or in some cases a lot sooner) I think we should just enjoy the performances so far, and hope it continues. Besides if the Twins miss the playoffs by 2-3 games this year, then we can spend all off season complaining about this
  3. DaveW
    No, but likely better than whoever starts Saturday. Also it's more than likely that at least one of Hughes, Santiago or Meija gets injured or becomes ineffective. Literally nobody else (besides Duffey) who ha a chance to succeed this year for the rotation, and they won't move Duffey back to rotation. Never can have enough SP!

    I think this is a good example of not a "role model" but a young man who made a really really stupid mistake, but owned up to it, was punished, apologized and is going to better himself. Everyone makes mistakes, it's refreshing to see someone own it. Maybe not a role model, but a good lesson for everyone (myself included) when they make mistakes.

    Santana will be fine, in reality he couldn't keep up his "ace" level, but can be a solid 2/3 for us. Hopefully him and Berrios are a good start to anrotation that can stick in the hunt
  6. DaveW
    I still think they need another solid arm they can count on. A Clayton richard type (hat tip: common man) Also that potentially opens up Hughes to the pen if he struggles or arm fatigue (where he could be pretty effective)
  7. DaveW
    Yeah, this kid is a stud. Looks like a solid #2 guy thus far, he keeps up what he did tonight? we might have ourselves the first legit front of the rotation SP since Liriano and santana. Sano=stud Buxton, starting to come apround. Kepler, polanco, Vargas, Dozier, Castro: solid role players. Berrios and Santana: solid 1-2 punch it's looking like. To do list: -Fix the bullpen -get a true #3 type starter to help stabilize the rotation a bit. Get it done new regime!

    Mudhoney.

    Nice to see him turning it around. If he gets to .750 ops this year I will change my hicks tracker to a Buxton tacked. I know Molly might be tempted to move him up the lineup. But I would wait for awhile before doing that iMo.

    This sucks. I'm in Seattle today and the mood is very gloomy. Sound garden and Cornell were some of my all time faves, got to see Cornell solo back in the day, and Audioslave, amazing talent. RIP

    When it comes to LGBTQ it has evolved big time, hell, go back and watch some "comedies" from the 90's and early 2000. Non stop gay jokes, so much so that watching now is super uncomfortable and it seems beyond crass.

    If there is interest I could try to set up an extended interview with a Sickels where we can ask him all of these questions about the twins etc and just general scouting/prospect/process questions as a whole.
  13. DaveW
    Keep in mind, it's very likely Sickels and KLaw could go work for whatever org they would want to. They are as "expert" as it gets IMO.
  14. DaveW
    Yeah Sickels is paid full time to be an expert in the minor leagues, he likely has a massive network of eyes and ears as well. Ditto with KLaw, nobody is saying to take their words as gospel, but they have a ton of credibility IMO much more so then the orgs themselves (who will always hype up their own)
  15. DaveW
    Well they struck out so far on Jay and Stewart. Stewart I don't mind, that's what happens with HS arms and he still could be ok. Jay though? To draft a college RP in the first round and make him a starter? Bad idea. They should have speant more intl dollars on arms as well.
  16. DaveW
    $100 sent! Big fan of your ideas.
  17. DaveW
    Bottom tier suggests somewhere in the bottom 10. I personally see them as bottom 5 because of the lack up high upside arms. Either way, this helps prove that I'm clearly not the only one who thinks the Twins farm system is bad in re: Starting pitching. Frankly, the Twins have finished last 5 out of 6 years, there is zero reason why they shouldn't have one of the BEST systems in re: to SP with all of those intl dollars, high draft picks etc It's not like a ton of goodnpitchers have graduated during this time as well. Berrios, and that's it over the last 5 years.
  18. DaveW
    Here you guys go.
  19. DaveW
    Yes, Mejia is a #4/#5, just like most of the rest of them in the org. That's the problem.
  20. DaveW
    One company I can't plug enough is betterment. Signed up with them late last year and have given me a 14.2% return thus far on my 90% stocks 10% bonds and an 8.5% on my 70/30. Fees beat all their competitors as well, if interested I can send a link (and it gets me no fees for 6 months as well as you)
  21. DaveW
    Very few guys that can be more than a #4/#5 in this org. That's why they are ranked so low.
  22. DaveW
    Do they? When it comes to SP? (Berrios isn't in the farm system any more FYI)
  23. DaveW
    I have looked at every other teams prospect lists.

    Ortiz

    DaveW replied to TheLeviathan's topic in Other Baseball

    The thing I will always go back to: 20 HR in 400 at bats Ortiz was literally already a 30 HR guy when the Twins decided to cut him. Un. Real.
  25. DaveW
    A rebuilding team shouldn't trade away young arms with upside. It was dumb.
