    Michael Harris was called up after 196 at bats in AA, Vaughn Grissom 98, Julio Rodriguez, 206, Anthony Volpe very little, Nolan Gorman same, Dylan Carlson, and on and on, Real Prospects don't need to spend forever in the minors.

    I am not afraid of losing almost 26 year old Sands, and Wallner is almost 25 1/2. Oh no, somebody might pick up Solanco, that could even save the Twins some money. Maybe give a call to Oakland or KC or another bad team and offer Sands or Wallner or both of a really young semi-decent prospect that doesn't need 40 man protection for a few years. Maybe throw in Balazovic to sweeten the deal. Nothing is too hard to ever come.

    Why? other teams bring up young guys all the time, the Twins in the past have brought up young guys, but all of a sudden 22 is too young and is rushing a guy? If the guy is a major league baseball player and future all star type player it isn't going to hurt his development to bring him up.
  4. TwinsDr2021
    So the FO brings in the players and pays people to develop the players but it is on the players? I can't agree with that.
  5. TwinsDr2021
    Castro, Garlick, Wallner, Solanco, Gordon, Sands, Rodrguez, any number of players.
  6. TwinsDr2021
    Is there any hitter that has really improved under this FO?
  7. TwinsDr2021
    If that is the goal of the season, this FO and manager need to be fired ASAP.
  8. TwinsDr2021
    agreed, he hasn't had an ERA under 4 since 2019 and hasn't pitched more than 110 innings since then. I don't see him being a full time unlimited starter until 25.
  9. TwinsDr2021
    My answer is maybe, Mahle is already out for 60 days, they are into the starting depth already so they need pitchers to stay healthy, the bullpen is still a bit in question. If the offense is due to pick it up right? So if the offense gets better and the starters stay healthy, yes they are, if not could be a lot like 21 and 22.
  10. TwinsDr2021
    I agree with this, there can be luck, I believe mostly good luck for a batter. Gordon isn't this bad, but I don't think he is a good as he was last year. IMO he is a fine bench player and should never be put in a position of blocking a prospect.
  11. TwinsDr2021
    If the Twins really think he has a chance at next year's rotation, then he should stay, if the plan for next year doesn't include him, move him to the pen now.
  12. TwinsDr2021
    I will take 100 pitches, 7 innings and 2 earned runs every game out of a starter
  13. TwinsDr2021
    Going on the record, I like Lopez coming out for the 7th, regardless of he outcome of the inning.
  14. TwinsDr2021
    Shouldn't Giloito be tired? I mean he threw 23 pitches in the 6th?
  15. TwinsDr2021
    I think sending down a 26 year old healthy hitter might not be giving up on him but it is a sign of the beginning of the end, you can't have a guy like that clogging up the 40 man forever, IMO.
  16. TwinsDr2021
    Jax is what he is, a really good relief pitcher that averages giving up a run every 4 outings.
  17. TwinsDr2021
    Good Luck to Rooker, but can we hold off a bit, talk about SSS he has 75 at bats this year so far. and he has K'd 8 times in his last 13 at bats.
  18. TwinsDr2021
    “[Ryan] had an inning where he had to work a little bit,” His Velo was a little low and if he would have looked like he did in the 1st he might have went back out likely. So he did give a bit more reason than I initially thought, but it is still my opinion to see go back out there. It is defensible decision no doubt, I never said it wasn't and I am not dissecting the decision on this game and I am not blaming this loss on this decision. Just because something is defensible doesn't mean you have to like it. For example the decision to trade Arreaz if defensible and lots of people don't like. Like I said before even if it would have worked out, I wouldn't have liked it and I won't like it the next regardless of the results.
  19. TwinsDr2021
    Is there a chance he was changing it up a bit? Or did something happen in the 5th, that seems like dropped to 91, in the 4th it was sitting mostly between 92 -94, Only twice in the last two innings did it hit 92/93?
  20. TwinsDr2021
    If he was spent, he was spent and you take him out. Rocco didn't say that. I would question why a guy that has only thrown 87 pitches mostly from the wind up is spent but that is another question. If Rocco would have said Joe gave us all he had today, and it was time for others to get us to the end of the game or that Ryan's velocity was dipping and we wanted to get him out to make sure he didn't get injured, then there is no speculation of his decision and the talk could be why Ryan tired. As for his use of bullpen arms, I have no complaints on who he used. On why Mahle and Maeda are on the IR, we will have to agree to disagree it is because of overuse, because if what Maeda has done is considered overuse he should never have been in the rotation to begin with and Mahle seems to have other issues going back to last year. (maybe overuse on the Reds part)
  21. TwinsDr2021
    I am going with too early (during the regular season). You pull a pitcher too early that pitcher won't pitch again for 5 or 6 days, inning(s) you will never get back, plus it could tax the pen with could result in multiple games being player differently. Pulling too late may cost the game, but hopefully doesn't blew up your pen. (Now I am talking about pulling a guy 1 or two innings early, not a batter or two)
  22. TwinsDr2021
    Is it possible for that outcome to happen and still not like the decision? Some people seem to be missing that point (not saying you) IMO when a top end type starter has a 1 hitter after 6 with 87 pitches my expectation is that he goes back out for 1 more inning. Even if he gives up a run that inning it is an great start and helps set the bullpen for the whole series. Maybe Ryan and Rocco talked and Ryan said I can go back out but I am pretty much spent, and my expectation or hope was never going to happen. I will say this, Win or Lose I didn't like the decisions and won't even if the next 10 times it turns into wins.
  23. TwinsDr2021
    The only two guys you mentioned that have been anything more than a flash in the pan or somebody that came up and got hot for a bit is Mullins and Altuve, Altuve debuted at 21 and Mullins at 23 went back down for a bit at age 24 and has been a full time starter since. To me this is the Chris Colabello syndrome, the guy had 330 really good at bats at age 31, never before and never after. Good Luck to Rooker, hopefully he can be like Dozier, Merrifield, or Reynolds and have a decent or better career after debuting at age 25 not just another players that gets hot for a short time and a terrible team.
  24. TwinsDr2021
    This is true, but not all trades will work out, but the Ryan trade did, the Odo trade did, the Maeda trade wasn't terrible, and the Lopez trade looks like it will be good. I am not a huge fan of this FO but I also think people need to be fair for as much as people hate this trade they should be loving the Ryan trade, correct? I am not judging them based on only the bad things, I am judging them as a whole.
  25. TwinsDr2021
    IMO, this could be considered a good thing, this gives the Twins an extended look at Ober and Varland for next year, if they both perform well enough to be considered for next years rotation, The Twins go into 24 with Lopez, Ryan, Ober, Varland, and a choice of Paddock, SWR or another prospects. This would be the pipeline we have been waiting for. As for the trade I was all for it and still happy it happened, so far Steer (age 25) hasn't been a loss; 200 at bats into his career his OPS+ is 83 and CES is still in the minors (but hasn't taken a 40 man spot yet so that is good for Cin) Some people make it sound like the Twins have up Vaughn Grossom, Micheal Harris or Jordan Walker.
