    Good stuff. Just a note: Seth Romero is still a student at Houston. He just is not a member of its baseball team any longer. He was not kicked out of school

    De Leon

    Thrylos replied to cmoss84's topic in Other Baseball

    Link? IIRC that was an assumption by some people due to the fact that only DeLeon went to Tampa... Which makes it a rumor.

    KLAW's latest draft is here. There seems to be a general consensus with the 1-1 pick. If you don't have access (and care) he has Carlson falling out of the 1st round (MLB.com and BA have him going 30th to the Cubs)
  4. Thrylos
    Because the last thing they need is a first baseman. They already have top talent in the position (Lewin Diaz, Alex Kirilloff) and plenty of OF that can handle 1B in their organization.
  5. Thrylos
    or maybe Twins DaiLy
  6. Thrylos
    According to reports he is now up to 84-86. Give him some time and he might be there pitching at the Wheeler level...

    With the Devil?

    De Leon

    Do you have proof for that?

    I'd be surprised if Nik Turley does not get the call up. Pino took his turn in the Rochester rotation today. The other one has to be on the 40-man and I'd venture to say that it is Melotakis. Rucinski cannot come up and Tepesch is on the DL We.Shall.See.

    Thank you. That one made me laugh

    To answer the original question (What would the cost in terms of Prospects be for Neshek), my opinion is that since the person who will be heavily advised regarding the Twins' prospects in that trade is the one who has been overvaluing them tremendously, surprisingly low...

    After the last week, I am not sure that the Twins should be trading for Neshek. I think what they are trying to do: throw minor leaguers to the pen, a couple a time and see whether might stick is a better strategy. They got to figure out what they have, before they lose them to free agency. No need for Neshek who is btw one of my personal favorite Twins of all time...

    Here is the thing: To get to the World Series, they'd have to get through Houston (among other places.) Based on the last 3 days (and the 3 before,) they might as well pack it in and see if they can get something for their veterans before they turn into pumpkins. Santiago is 3/4 there, btw...

    I think that Pressly's issues are the same issues that Berrios had last season: He is thinking too much. Just needs to let it go. Hope he can learn that in AAA. Clearly the Twins' pitching coach cannot help him.
  15. Thrylos
    What is obvious to me is that the "new" management is the "old" management. This is an evaluation season and Falvey and Levine are observing the actions of the Farm director, Player Development head, etc. I don't think that the "new" management has arrived yet. I expect more and bigger changes during the off-season. Not much new with the Twins management...

    I don't get the Granite ranking at all. You either rank based on potential ceiling or on actual performance plus age combination. Granite is a guy who needs to get on base to steal bases to succeed. He is 24 and hitting .247/.287/.315, so he is not performing up to par for this type of ranking. His ceiling is Jason Pridie at this point if he ever makes the majors. The other thing that makes zero sense is that he jumped 11 spots while actually sucking...
  17. Thrylos
    Graterol is way too low
  18. Thrylos
    Here is the other undefendable choice: The Twins' best relievers are: Tyler Duffey (2.10 ERA, 2.64 FIP, 0.935 WHIP, 9.5 K/9, 5.4 K/BB) and Taylor Rogers (3.12 ERA, 3.14 FIP, 1.212 WHIP, 6.8 K/9, 3.3 K/BB) They were about as rested as Belisle and Breslow when things went South with Pressly. How come neither of them was used?
  19. Thrylos
    My counter point would be that if you do not trust enough to use a fresh arm with 6 runs up and 2 innings left the day he was supposed to start in Rochester, you should had never brought him up in the first place. Molitor blew it big time.
  20. Thrylos
    Really need a "none of the above" option. The least horrible of the above is Smalley. The Twins need a new color commentator really badly and Hunter and Hawkins are not even close to being good. Hunter tends to speak over everything including the play by play action and Hawkins just sounds pretty irrelevant. Someone should tell those guys that there is a game on and their job is to comment on that (with passable English enunciation preferably, we don't want anything or anyone to be axed, for example) and not on the "good old days" of their playing careers. I know that it comes with the position, but Dick Bremer and all of the above, are Homers (with capital H). It would be refreshing if they criticized some of the decisions on the field, for example. Yeah, the Twins booth needs an infusion of new blood and their former players (including the new ones) are not it...

    1.2 BB/9 in 45-1/3 innings (6 BB) last season disagrees...
  22. Thrylos
    Any Chargois sightings recently?
  23. Thrylos
    Tonkin is experienced in sucking at the MLB level...
  24. Thrylos
    The Phillies are in a rebuilding mode, but they are like the Red Sox when they rebuild: they are unwilling to give top young MLB players away because they can afford to spend $100M a season to get 4-6 FAs in an off-season if available. This would be like trying to get Mookie Betts from the Red Sox when they were in last place
  25. Thrylos
    Remember. No Capps, no post-season then. The issue with Capps was when TR renewed him, not his first time with the Twins...
