    I really like Gallo, think people here underrate his defense and versatility, but there is some recency bias with these comments. Remember, he had not hit a home run for 3 weeks before last night. Solid signing by this FO.

    I happen to live 10 minutes away from where Walker Jenkins plays HS ball. Went to a couple games, first HS BB games I have watched in eons. Huge crowd. At least 10 video cameras set up behind the plate. Allegedly several pro scouts in attendance. Walker is a man amongst boys at this stage. Tall, rangy kid with a sweet left handed swing. Moves well, glides around the outfield and good, not great, arm based on watching warmup throws. Hitting, tough to judge as they wont pitch to him. Opposing pitchers get fired up and throw as hard as they can, and then come nowhere near the strike zone. He gets jeered by the opposing fans, too. Part of that may be due to the shocking neon orange cleats he wears! I have no idea how you can possibly project a young man like this. He looks terrific, but he is playing so far below his level that it is all guesswork. I guess that is why scouts and FO people make the big bucks..... Me, I would prefer drafting a more sure-fire college prospect, but I would take a conservative approach with the 5th overall pick.

    Rain/weather out? :)

    Sorry, should have been more clear. 3 years, $5M per year, $15M total. Hell no, not offering $15M per year. As for incentives, sure. All Star, certain number of starts, ERA, WAR, whatever floats their boat. Any team would be happy to pay well-earned incentive bonuses.

    I thought the production of the ATV broadcast was slick, but did not care much for the announcers themselves. Having Polanco and Farmer back will hopefully beef up the production vs. a lefty. Fingers crossed, and Go Twins!

    Learn something new every day! Thanks!

    Wasn't there a 14 page game thread for yesterday's (Thursday's Padres finale) game in this forum? What happened to it?
  8. SteveLV
    Offer him 3 years, $15M. If he balks, he walks. Tough to get a good contract at his age and his injury history, now undergoing TJS. Not trying to be harsh, but that would be a fair sharing of risk for both parties. Turns out to be a HORRIBLE trade by the FO. 10 starts over 2 seasons for 3 legit, good prospects/players. Yikes.

    Kepler looks to have aggravated that knee, just as his bat was showing some improvement. Who comes back? Not sure if Larnach can come back that quickly? Otherwise, Walner, or possibly Helman? Why not give him a shot, he is versatile, can steal bases, and is swinging a great stick right now in St. Paul.

    *whew* Survived another Pagain experience relatively unscathed.

    I get heartburn every time this guy takes the mound. Can't they just give up on this guy and get someone else? For whatever reason his stuff just does not fool anyone. He gives up more hard hit balls in 15 pitches than anyone else does in 100. Get some frickin' outs....

    Regarding CF, obviously Michael Taylor is default. Buxton CAN play CF if there was an in-game injury (might lose DH). Kepler can play CF. Gallo can play CF. The latter 2 are serviceable, but downgrades from Taylor and Buxton. The Twins FO emulating the Dodgers' flexible roster is paying dividends. We also currently have Gordon, and Castro is much more likely to be sent down.

    Huge pitching execution vs. the tough Rizzo. Great job Jax!
  14. SteveLV
    We have not won the series, but we have earned a split at a minimum. Playing with house money now, Boys!
  15. SteveLV
    Nice to put some pressure on the Yankees hitters for a change. This would be a HUGE comeback win. C'mon Bullpen!
  16. SteveLV
    No challenge because he was ruled out of the basepath, apparently.
  17. SteveLV
    I really like Miranda. But he is not doing himself any favours. 6 pitches in 4 AB's. Not smart hitting.
  18. SteveLV
    And now one fair!
  19. SteveLV
    Twins have hit 5 home run foul balls down the left field line.
  20. SteveLV
    That hurt. Varland is challenging them, and Stanton tattooed that one.
  21. SteveLV
    Miranda, 3 AB's, 5 pitches total. Way, way too aggressive young man.
  22. SteveLV
    Love to see those cheap dimensions bite the Yankees for a change. Nice job Correa!
  23. SteveLV
    C'mon guys. This game is there for the taking. Your young pitcher is holding off the Bombers. Get some grit and get this guy!
  24. SteveLV
    The Twins' coaches should show these terrible AB's to the team after the game to show them what NOT to do....
  25. SteveLV
    Man, this is simply not the Twins' night, direct opposite of last night. Hitting things right at defenders.
