  1. Morris looked very good against some good hitters. His command inspires confidence - Festa has better stuff but I just don’t think his command is as good.
  2. He has a nice compact swing. I wish we could see him catch a little - if he was adequate back there he could be a unique Swiss Army knife. Would allow Vasquez to get pinch hit for easily.
  3. It was a really strong throw. Looks like he has a gun.
  4. I’m not one obsessed by handedness. I want good hitters that don’t have huge splits. I’m hopeful Keaschall could be that.
  5. Actually you made it about right handed hitters which Keaschall is one and in(hopefully) need of a place to play. You can play him at second or first and guess what - he will still be hitting right handed. Since the Twins are committed to having a Bader, Margot et al on their roster, I would prefer Keaschall to them.
  6. As opposed to a right handed hitting second baseman? Or are you trading him for a left handed hitter?
  7. I hope that Keaschall gets a bunch of reps in left field in AAA. He might be the right handed hitting outfielder we’ve been waiting for.
  8. At this point I would say no because the salary savings won’t be reinvested. 6 weeks ago? Yes in a minute.
  9. I’m confused. They tried to option Kiriloff and he forced them to put him on the IL.
  10. I think he looks better at the place this spring for whatever that is worth. Unfortunately he is pretty much a DH if you care at all about defense.
  11. There are others more knowledgeable about the rules but I believe you cannot dfa a player while injured. Also, since he was on the 40 man and had not been sent to minors yet I believe he will be on the mlb IL meaning he will be able to collect a nice check for a while. Eventually he will have to face the pitch or be released problem.
  12. Seems like shoulder injuries are often the final blow for pitchers, especially older pitchers. Doesn’t bode well for for Tonkin or Topa.
  13. Gotta feel for Canterino. The injuries have been relentless and the rehab work involved has to be daunting. Your dream is right there and snatched away as soon as you can reach for it.
  14. I think his pitches are fine. I mean improve them if you can but I think his future will be determined by his ability to command his pitches.
  15. I’ve watched baseball for 55+ years and can’t recall a pitching line like Rayas today. 5 runs allowed but doesn’t give up a hit or record an out. 3 hit batters and two walks. Come to think of it, I can’t recall seeing three hit batters in one inning. Baseball.
  16. Listening on the radio for the first time this spring. Attebury has yet to come up for air. It’s almost a frenetic amount of talking - completely distracts from the natural pace of baseball.
  17. Yea he didn’t fool anyone. His spring has been less than impressive.
  18. This. The final score comparison doesn’t matter because they could could be pitching in a one run run or tie game but the final score ends up with a four run differential. Plus if you play lots of close games which the Twins did last year you go through your pen more quickly and everyone gets used regardless of score.
  19. Seems odd that Castellano is left in for almost 40 pitches
  20. I’m surprised to say this but Gasper looks better than I was anticipating Looks like he can handle first and has a decent swing. If he could catch at all he would be an intriguing bench piece. Also see what they like in Castellano. That curveball is legit.
  21. 2 per game. If you are correct then you get to keep that challenge.
  22. Kicked it and then double clutched it. Crisp double play started by Gasper.
