    They changed the draft personnel: They promoted the guy who selected him.
  2. Thrylos
    That's probably his floor, since his stuff in College as far as FB/SL went were a tic better than Perkins' in his prime. Jay can be in the Twins' pen tomorrow and be better than Kintzler, if healthy and if ready. Add Burdi, and hope that one of Duffey/Chargois/Reed gets it, and will get the Twins' version of the Nasty Boys. This is really great news.

    Have you met Tyler Robertson and his 88 mph Fastball? Size does not equal velocity

    2.2 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 1 K, 6.75 ERA "strong spring showing" should be replaced with "unfortunate, but thankfully small sample size showing" Nothing strong about his showing. I still feel that his future is in the pen. He can pick a couple mph in the fastball might make a lot of difference. Otherwise, a Wheeler or Hurlbut type starter from the other side

    RE: Palka. His batting average does not tell all the story. He led the team with 8 walks and finished with .423 OBP. I wish that Dozier "struggled" that much...

    Do you think that the GM who made that trade for that particular team is employable anywhere else in baseball?
  7. Thrylos
    For sure the Twins will be buyers next off-season. Mainly for front office types and coaches and managers at every level of the organization. Couple of SPs too. Maybe

    Any idea when it was the last time that Santiago pitched longer than 2-2/3 innings?
  9. Thrylos
    Finally, someone with access confirmed what some of us have been looking at all Spring: Santiago does not have a spot penciled in...

    That's why the opinion of some of the ignorant national writers is worthless and should not be heard: They cannot even get their facts straight. I stopped reading after the PEDs and I'd take whatever Sarris says about other subjects he does not apparently know about, with a huge grain of salt.

    Minor league games against other teams' minor league clubs started today Give it some time.

    My answer was from about a month ago or so. C70 does this for a few years now and for all teams, so he will be posting similar questions and answers for each team. But, yes, the close to consensus here was pretty interesting, but my number has changed since that, based on the stipulation I gave in that piece.
  13. Thrylos
    Not arguing, but he chose to ride pine for team Puerto Rico for 3 weeks rather than being with the Twins to see what he can do. His choice.
  14. Thrylos
    Was at the game today. Mejia very good and he got squeezed by the umpires on some strike calls. FB 92-94, ability to throw the slider both for slides and at the dirt and great command of the changeup was pretty impressive. At this point, I'd take him over Santiago who appears to be a long reliever for PR. My biggest surprise this Spring has been Matt Hague, who got yet another hit; all this guy seems to do is hit, and he heads the team in OPS with 1.495. Definitely in a 3-way competition with Park and Vargas. Pen was good. Unfortunately one or two good relievers will be caught in the numbers game again this season
  15. Thrylos
    Part of the reason the Twins stopped playing him at 2B.
  16. Thrylos
    Totally agree, plus it messes around with players' prep. Santana's starts will be out of whack now. Do they want a tournament with good participation and players ready? Do it after the World Series, like the AFL or the winter leagues, without being a distraction to the players getting ready. As for the ones who say that the games are just like spring training games, would Rosario risk arm damage throwing like that in a ST game or would Perez block the plate in a ST game? Methinks not. Too risky. After the season, let it rip. Plenty of time to heal till next ST.

    2019? Stick.A.Fork.In.Him.
  18. Thrylos
    Based on what? Career 3.76 & 3.67 FIP respectively. That 3.67 FIP would place 105th in 2016th among relievers with 30+ IP. So in other words they are middle of the pack relievers...
  19. Thrylos
    Other than Adrianza, this looks about right
  20. Thrylos
    I knew that Park and Hague had good Springs and Palka started to pick it up lately, but Granite flew under my radar, so I checked his slash line: .250/.269/.292 That much about strike zone knowledge. I get the defensive part, but his stick is subbuterean. Maybe better option than Stubbs and Shuck, but I would have a hard time seeing him make the team over Grossman, let's say. "Rock" solid? Are marshmallows rocks?
  21. Thrylos
    I want the highest OBP guy to hit lead off. And that is the highest 2017 and not 2016 OBP guy. If I had to look at my crystal ball, I'd say Polanco.
  22. Thrylos
    Guess the first cuts are not the deepest... All expected.
  23. Thrylos
    Based on the talk out of Fort Myers today, I will not be surprised to see a: Santana, Gibson, Hughes, Santiago, Vogelsong rotation. Uffda, but...
  24. Thrylos
    Full cast or just a boot?
  25. Thrylos
    Yeah. Butera wanted himself a starting position That should have been a run if MLB rules were in plate. Perez was at fault there
