    The scary thing with Pelfrey is he's even keeping the ball in the park. No home runs allowed. A WHIP of 2.00 is worse than just terrible luck. He may have some things to work on yet post surgery. He is a decent pitcher but is missing something at the moment. I hope he finds it. Vance is rebounding but he will have his work cut out for him against verlander again. I hope he evens the score. Diamond should give us a solid start again and keep us in it. We should be happy to walk away from this series 1-2 but it isn't impossible to win another against them 2-1. last thought: twins could be looking at 30+ strike outs against these 3 unless we get one to exit early.

    Tyler Duffey finished 8 innings today. He gave up 3 runs on 8 hits striking out 4. He also didn't give up a walk which is very important for a young starter looking to move quickly through the system. For the season Duffey is 3-1 with a 2.60 ERA. He has 21 strike outs to go with 3 walks. His WHIP is at a very nice .76.

    Could this thread name be updated to minor league transaction or something similar. It's a great thread so far! Thanks for posting all the moves being made.

    I hate to bring it up and start the same conversation but when is it time to start moving some guys up? Buxton, Sano, and Rosario have all been very impressive and in Sano and Rosario's cases they have shown huge strides on defense. Just a though though, I'm not saying they "have to move them now!"
  5. Chance
    Real nice. Thanks for this.

    Duffey finished the day with a line of: 7 innings 4 hits 2 runs 1 walk and 6 strikeouts. He got the win. On the season Tyler is 2-1 with a 2.29 era. He has 17 strikeouts in 19.2 innings. He has a .66 whip.
  7. Chance
    Duffey rebounded with another 1-2-3 inning in the 6th.
  8. Chance
    And so much for the great start. After 4 perfect innings Duffey gave up a walk and then back to back doubles. He now has pitched 5 innings allowing 2 runs with 2 hits a walk and 4 strikeouts.
  9. Chance
    Duffey is currently through 4 innings in today's start for Cedar Rapids. He has been perfect thus far with 4 strikeouts.
  10. Chance
    I'll say the Twins hit 2 homers. Not sure from who. Arcia 2-3 with a double and a walk.
  11. Chance
    Besides 3 homers I agree with you.
  12. Chance
    Time to move one of the starters south to the Fort. None really deserve to move back to the pen and as you go up the ladder we have less and less quality pitching.
  13. Chance
    any discover if you can listen online for free?
  14. Chance
    Very good point. We will have to wait and see but he isn't old for his level. He may be further developed but that should be a good thing. He should be a top 10 Twins prospect yet but should be closely monitored.

    Tyler Duffey was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the fifth round of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft out of Rice University. In college Duffey worked as a reliever and continued to do so pitching in Elizabethton at the end of the 2012 season. At Elizabethton, Duffey made 12 relief appearances. In those 12 appearances, he went 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA. Duffey gave up 10 hits and 2 walks in 19 innings while striking out 27 batters. Tyler has started this season in the Cedar Rapids rotation. In his first start of his professional career, the right-hander went 7 perfect innings and struck out 7. The Kernals bullpen finished out the game with a no-hitter. Duffey "struggled" more-so in his second start, allowing 3 runs over 5 and 2/3 innings. At 6'3" and 225 pounds, Duffey has the size and ability to be a starter for the Twins moving forward. According to baseballdraftreport.com, Duffey has a five pitch mix including: an 88-92 FB, 94 peak; good 79-82 CU; good two-seamer with above-average sink; hard 78-83 CB; average mid-80s SL that flashes plus. Some other scouting reports feel that he will be a middle reliever, but at just 22 (he will be for the entire season) the Twins feel that he can make the transition to a starter with his 4-5 pitches.

    Tyler Duffey please

    I'm not ready to get on board with framing pitches but I will say that some pitchers will feel comfortable throwing to a certain guy. It could be the way that they sit behind the plate or their shape. There had to be more to butera and Pavano than framing pitches.

    Calm down. How many major league teams have a player batting 8th in the lineup that is going to do much different than Dozier did? Mauer/Morneau/Willingham have grounded into game ending double plays as well. Lets get rid of them too! You aren't going to have 9 guys batting every day that you wouldn't want to replace. Look at any team in the majors and there will be a guy that no body wants on their team. It's just the way it is. He's been fielding as well as you could ask for and he isnt hitting that terrible for the 8th spot. We are 7 games in on a season that should end with us near the bottom of the division. I can't believe people are calling for heads already! We are 4-3 and were expect to be 1-6 at this point. Step off the ledge!
  19. Chance
    Jealous.

    Great job! Even though I pay close attention to the minor league games, it's still nice to come on here and read more about them. It's my favorite "series" in the sports world to read. Im very excited to see Duffy's start today. I feel like he could really move smoothly through the organization with few hiccups. (Let's hope anyway) last season we had a page to make guesses at the minor league pitcher and hitter of the year. We should do that again if there hasn't already been one. I would love to see who Twins Daily thinks will take off this year and any other bold guesses you guys want to make. I pick Boer as my dark horse for minor league pitcher of the year. I was way off. Hoping the kid takes off this season.

    2 years in a row that I am really excited to watch Cedar Rapids (Beloit). There is a lot of promise there.
  22. Chance
    Roberts? Didn't see him in Ft. Myers either.
  23. Chance
    I don't think Rosario is in ft Myers to long.
  24. Chance
    I Phone 4. I have the full skin

    I would have been much happier with this offseason minus one move, Corriea. Him and his contract don't make sense if your rebuilding or attempting to compete. Just when I thought the twins were one year away from Blackburn coming off the books they add him. I don't think there is any logical case to be made on this one. You can get a better track record with a brighter future for at the minimum of half the price.
