    So good to see Julien with games like yesterday. Also saw he had his second stolen base of the young season. Should he continue to play this well with the Twins, say by next year, can you imagine how exciting and scrappy they would be with Buxton, Arraez, Lewis, Martin and Julien? Now that’s the type of team/baseball I like to watch.

    Interesting situation with Godoy. I was curious what they would do for a third catcher when Rortvedt was traded. The recent injury proves teams should have a reliable third catcher on the 40-man roster. Hopefully, they will option Godoy to St. Paul when Sanchez returns, so he is available when needed.

    Could not agree more, stringer. Get Winder back to starting every fifth game, although one advantage is that his current work load will keep his innings down a bit this year.

    Thanks for the updates, but Wichita and FM box scores are from earlier games. Agree that Smeltzer should be with the Twins soon. See him in a role similar to Winder, piggy backed with pitcher X.

    Add me to the list of those who enjoy games with Bremer on the tv. Missed it last year, a lot.

    Cannot tell you how pleased I was when I read the reason Raya went on the IL was to get his wisdom teeth pulled. Considering how well he pitched last time out, maybe should leave them in. And what a fantastic game, and start to his season, for SWR. Now lets all be patient and let him work his way up to the Twins on a realistic timetable and not start calling for his promotion next week.

    Buxton in the Twins lineup, Twins win a lot. Buxton out of the lineup, Twins lose a lot. I don't care what arm the pitcher throws with, get Arraez in the lineup....every day. Kid should get a day rest about every ten games. That would have him playing around 145 games. Sitting him about half the time makes no sense to me.

    Will agree with Mike, can't judge this trade until we learn who the PTBNL is. Will look a lot better should it be that catcher rated among their top 15 prospects. Well, that assumes he turns into a starter three years from now.

    With the Twins no longer available on most streaming services and many cutting ties with cable, no one is going to see these jersey's anyway....so it isn't a big thing to me. Otherwise, count me among the people who like baseball the way it was played the first 100+ years of its existence.

    Loved the pick when the Twins drafted Raya. Then disappointed when we didn't see him pitch last summer. But the wait sure as heck looks worth it. Kid is still what, 19? If he keeps pitching like this he could end up being special when he reaches the Twins. Another sad start to his season for Javier, so it is good to see him with a blast last night. But he needs to start getting on base more if he is ever going to make it. Kid was such a great signing a long time ago. Still hopeful, but hope is waning. Also good seeing Povich follow up his great first start with a very solid outing. Really believe that the pitching pipeline is solid with the first guys just beginning to arrive. The staff should be so much better in 2023 and moreso in 2024.

    Thanks, Seth. As you know, these reports and all you guys do is appreciated.
  12. roger
    I think one word describes both last night and the Twins minor league teams start to the season. WOW!
  13. roger
    Reading today’s box scores, kept wondering where Urbina is? Is he injured? Or in EST?
  14. roger
    Great seeing Martin with two hits last night, although the Wind Surge bats and record is starting the season cold, cold, cold. After two very nice starts to begin his season, gotta ask...does Sands 'stuff' play at the big league level?
  15. roger
    You mean trade for a young catcher, maybe someone like Ben Rortvedt?
  16. roger
    Thanks for today's summary, Steve. When the Twins took the two lefties back-to-back in the second and third rounds of last year's draft, I was hoping that for once they could strike gold and one of these guys would be on the fast track to Target Field. For whatever reason, probably after watching Seth's interviews this winter, Povich seems to me to be the most likely candidate to accomplish that. His fantastic start last night will keep my dreams (and I expect his) alive for another week. Isn't it fantastic having four young stars in the lineup every day down at Fort Myers? Miller, Rodriguez, Cavaco and Rosario are all off to great starts. And that is fantastic news for Cavaco. Keep it going boys! Was also happy to finally see Marco Raya on the mound pitching in a real game. Sounds like he was very solid, before likely tiring in the fifth inning. Remain convinced that he and Rosario are the two big finds the Twins got out of that shortened 2020 draft.

    Maybe they could get a young catcher, say Valenzuela, who isn’t ranked as high as those listed above.
  18. roger
    Thanks for the summary, Nash. The best news in my opinion was looking at the prospect summary and seeing no, nada, zero, zip players listed as "INJURED." Seemed like nearly half of your top 20 spent much of 2021 out injured. Seeing the clean slate is fantastic news.
  19. roger
    I think the Twins won the trade before taking the PTBNL into consideration. I knew nothing about Pagan, but what I saw in his first outing, I liked. So I don't see it as a big downgrade from Rogers to Pagan. Add the huge difference between Paddack and Rooker and I see it as a Twins win. That was partially offset by the $6.6M, thus something coming back makes sense. But like several above, I don't see it as being a prospect as highly ranked as those listed. If it were one of them, I would view it as an absolute steal by the Twins.

    I am looking for only one thing, Cody, a W. Don't care how we get there and how well Bundy pitches, although it would be nice for him to have a decent outing. What I am looking for is a W and the Twins back at .500.
  21. roger
    You are ok and can see him tomorrow. There are no games on Monday, the starting pitchers listed were for Tuesday's games.

    Reading these comments left me with one question. Should the Twins need a fourth outfielder to actually play a lot this year, who should it be? I know they added Celestino to the opening roster, but would Contreras actually be a better option? Is it not true that Contreras plays all three outfield positions and was the best defensive outfielder in the organization (minor leagues only) last year? I understand that Celestino was outta whack last year because of the premature callup, but didn't Contreras hit better while they were with the Saints? Is it possible that Contreras would be the better player for the Twins, at least in 2022?
  23. roger
    So happy reading that the three hit batters (Lewis twice) for the Saints didn't sustain any significant injuries. Confirms that the Bats starter was wild, not head hunting because of the week long beatdown the Bats were receiving. Highlite today for me is seeing that Povich will make his first start on Tuesday. And real excited to see how Raya does.
  24. roger
    The more important question is how confident is Tyler Duffey in himself? He didn't look confident on that mound yesterday, even before he gave up two runs. Reminded me of how he looked a couple years ago.

    Move over Jose Miranda, there is a new sheriff in town. Granted, E-S has only played two games, but Holy Cow! Throughout history there have been players that step onto a field and arrive in the big leagues shortly after to put up unbelievable Hall of Fame careers. You know, guys like Willie Mays, Robin Yount or Mickey Mantle. As I follow all these young Twins, I annually ask myself could this young man have that type of future. Understand odds are he won't, but I sure as heck am asking myself that question about E-S this morning. And Royce Lewis is getting the job done in AAA like we would hope from a top prospect. With a wasted two years now behind him, it is going to be exciting to see how soon he arrives at Target Field. Jmlease1 hit it on the head when talking about SWR, who finally is looking forward to a normal season. Couldn't be happier for this young man who just may make all of us happy the Twins did that trade with the Jays last summer. After a summer last year where it seemed every other top prospect had a DNP, injured following their name it is exciting seeing the results from some of these young men.
