    I wonder if Royce realizes that he is zooming towards complete bust territory. He will run into a cookie once in a while but other than that he has no chance at the plate
  2. Linus
    Royce looks like he might not get a hit in the next month.
  3. Linus
    Good to see Houston with two more hits. I’m guessing the Twins will be really patient with him and let him build a bunch of confidence before he goes to Wichita. Nice grab by Culpepper- sorry Brooks but you don’t get within a foot of that ball.

    It will be interesting to watch how teams pitch to him going forward. They can’t just let him walk at his current clip. He’s getting better in all facets of the game so I hope they keep on playing him. His speed is an underdeveloped weapon IMO. He can run but makes a lot of mistakes on the bases that seem like they could be eliminated.

    The hype has far exceeded the performance. Reminds me of when everyone was in love with Balasovic even though the performance was erratic even in AA.
  6. Linus
    Geez Jeffers come on.
  7. Linus
    He has some pitches to be excited about. Command is clearly an issue that needs to be improved upon for him to have consistent success. Like all players, we won’t know anything conclusive until the league sees him a few times.
  8. Linus
    To me, moving him to the pen is a no-brainer. He doesn’t have a deep pitch mix and seems to struggle to stay healthy under a starters workload. Add a couple ticks to his fastball and he might be a great high leverage reliever, which we desperately need.
  9. Linus
    Mendez heating up as well. Really wish they would just put him at first base. Houston getting enough hits that AA is possible this year.
  10. Linus
    Both Prielipp and Rojas have good stuff. They need to gain better command but there is definitely something there to work with. Rojas in the bullpen could be a force as he has easy velocity. No mention in this recap of Royce’s night with the glove. Bad error and a couple other plays that a good defender makes. Lee is rightfully getting shade for his fielding but I am willing to bet he would be a better third baseman than Royce. Of course neither of them can hit so there’s that. Thumbs up to Larnach for an excellent play in left field. Plays the ball off the wall perfectly and makes an accurate throw to Lee. Perfectly played.

    The Mets make more mental errors than the Twins.

    Preilipp is looking around thinking “I thought I was in the big leagues”
  13. Linus
    Troll on…
  14. Linus
    Oh they can and most likely will. Their obsession with gaining small advantages on the margins is contradictory with developing players. This is especially misguided on a club that isn’t going anywhere and needs guys to step up become good big leaguers.
  15. Linus
    McLean has some elite stuff - he is going to be really good. Unsung hero has to be Sands pitching the last two innings. Lee needs a reset in St Paul. He is struggling badly to the point that this is hurting his development. It appears that his confidence is shot and he is overmatched at SS as well. The Twins are definitely not putting him in a place to succeed at this point.
  16. Linus
    When Sim is pitching well, he is using all his pitches and throwing all of them for strikes because he has no dominant pitch to fall back on. If he starts struggling with command of any of his pitches hitters can focus on one or two pitches and then he is in trouble.
  17. Linus
    McLean is impressive. Denard Span is not.
  18. Linus
    Ya know, I think you might be right
  19. Linus
    Another pitcher with good stuff but struggles with control. He’s likely going to struggle unless / until he improves his control. The exciting thing is there is true upside with him.
  20. Linus
    Here are things that mean nothing to me: - Houston making a top 100 list - Anything he did hitting wise at Wake Forest - Anything he did hitting at low A This season will give us credible information if the guy has a chance to be a big league hitter. The info would be even better if he gets moved to AA. I personally have my doubts but am looking forward to finding out.
  21. Linus
    Need a third choice - meh. I feel the same way I did at the start of the season which was this will be a 75 win team.
  22. Linus
    I like it. The roster fits together better and we are taking steps to find out about the future. The only question I have is about the backups. I would send Lee down to see if he can get on a roll and then eventually bring him back up to be the infield utility guy or take Keaschall spot for a bit if he needs a reset. As River Brian has been pointing out there is no reason we can’t use all roster spots to improve this team.

    I think I’ll stick with TK. Troll on….
  24. Linus
    As always I go by TKs theory. You don’t know what you have in a hitter, good or bad, until they have 1000 - 1500 at bats. Time will tell.
  25. Linus
    Being the only team has to help with things like corporate sales of boxes, etc. However the Padres have been the anti-Twins when it comes to fan engagement. Turns out allowing your organization to be rudderless for a decade costs money.
