    If my California math is correct, Seth, Jorge needs to be added to the 40-man this fall, correct? If not, is he likely to be gone?

    Have a question about Kepler. The Lookouts season ends in a few days, will he be called up to the Twins for the last dozen games this year? Considering he will likely begin 2016 in AAA, service time shouldn't be a problem. Add that he is already on the 40-man roster, he doesn't need to be added posing a problem with exposing another player to the Rule 5 draft. So the barriers to a callup are limited...will he get the call?

    Thanks for another season of these daily reports, Seth. And thanks also to those who assisted him this year. I don't recall, how long have you been doing this? Have a great winter, hopefully we all are able to return next year.

    What do you think, Seth, Does Dean get added to the 40-man in November? Expect he will be gone if they don't, don't you?

    We should be hearing about September callups today, or do you already know Seth? Expect Darnell is a done deal. On 40-man roster, check! Pitching great, especially the last part of the season, check! Has experience working out of the bullpen, check! If he travels on Tuesday, should be available on Wednesday for some work out of the bullpen. So do you think he will be here then, after the Red Wings season, or not at all?

    Keep him down for the playoffs, then a week off before heading out to Arizona.

    Have noticed that Alex Meyer has had a lot of good appearances of late. Your thoughts Seth on whether or not he gets a September call up?

    Was thinking about this earlier today and have a feeling Max Kepler will be going to the AFL. With Vargas getting back to what is expected these past few weeks and Buxton likely activated prior to 8/31, Kepler would see almost zero playing time with the Twins in September. Seems to make sense to send him to Arizona.

    Well, John, Did you intend to stir up this hornet's nest when you wrote this post? I for one both agree with you and feel for you. Have a great day!

    I am glad I don't have to make the decision on Berrios. But I am thinking one or two more starts at Rochester, then move him to the bullpen for a couple weeks. Bring him up in September to pitch out of the bullpen. That gives him a taste of what it is like in Minnesota and pitching to big league hitters without a lot of pressure. But Mr. Ryan has to clear a spot or two this winter because Berrios sure looks to be about ready!

    Have a question for you, Seth, about Blankenhorn. He is hitting great, especially for a high school kid playing at Elizabethton. What have you heard about him other than the stuff we read when he was drafted. Is he as special as his success would indicate?
  13. roger
    Thanks Seth. Have always believed this young man could be as good as anyone in the organization. Especially after that fantastic winter he had back home two years ago. I guess we're just going to have to wait an extra year plus to see him.
  14. roger
    I know someone here mentioned that Chris Paul had signed, yet, the Twins website doesn't show him as having signed. Can you confirm his signing? They also don't show Max Cordy as having signed, yet I believe he has appeared in a game. Are there others that they show as being unsigned who have in fact signed?
  15. roger
    It really has been a long wait, hasn't it Seth? But this is exciting! Too many players for several positions, but that will work itself out over the next year or two as some get it done and others fail. But 2017 looks to be when it should all come together for a great chance to win it all!!!
  16. roger
    I personally would like to see him stay for at least three weeks so I get a chance to see him.
  17. roger
    Polanco and Swim hit for .353 and .364 averages, respectively, and can't make your Top 6! No disagreement here, just a bit unbelievable. Looking forward to a short stop in Chattanooga on July 1st. Will be great to see the 2017 Minnesota Twins a bit early. Have a good one, Seth. Appreciate all you do for us minor league junkies.

    Aren't you being a bit tough on Reed, Seth? After skipping Hi-A, a rough start at AA could be expected. The important comment was, "He has been better of late."
  19. roger
    Hey Seth, Like many, I was surprised early in the year when Mark Hamburger was starting games in Rochester. Now that he is in the bullpen, do you think it was designed to get him ready to be brought up as a long reliever? Really great seeing him have success, hopefully, we see him in Minneapolis some time this summer.

    I enjoyed your reference to Evansville (Jose Velez), Seth. That Frontier League team plays in Bosse Field, one of the oldest ballparks in America. It is a beautiful old ballpark that was used for the filming of "League of their Own." J.R. played there when he was 16 and being there for those games remains one of the neatest baseball experiences of my life. I always joke that he got to play in the same centerfield as Madonna! Thanks for reminding me of the memory.
  21. roger
    These are great stories, Seth, Both on the field as to where Booser has come from, and for your bringing them to us. Thanks!

    If the Miracle win behind Hu, do they all say 'Wei-Win?' I know, Seth, that is bad!
  23. roger
    Have you looked at Aaron Hicks' splits? Yes, he has an OPS of 1.024. But he also is hitting for a .154 average lefthanded with a .522 OPS. So nothing has changed from the past two years when he was a failure!

    After reading the above comment about Pinto's catcher interference and his recent spring training game where he got hit with a bat three times in one game, Seth, it raises a question. Does Pinto set-up closer to the hitter than other catchers? Or does he maybe move forward to receive the ball? Have you heard anything about what he is doing that appears to be different than most catchers?
  25. roger
    Sounds like you are having a fun trip, Seth, Is Zack Granite as exciting as he sounds? Does he look like a solid hitter, not just a speed guy?
