    Great to see Contreras get the promotion, I'm interested to see what he can do in the majors. He's a quality fielder, draws plenty of walks, and has some pop in his bat. I find it odd that Cotton is already back up after not pitching that much in AAA. Got to think that Cano will be getting his first chance sooner than later.

    You've got to wonder about what the Twins knew about Paddack's elbow before the trade, because if they knew it was a ticking time bomb, then that's simply a bad trade they made. Especially since even us in the peanut gallery knew that it could be a problem... Say what you will about the Dyson trade, but there were no rumblings about him having any shoulder problems before the trade... and we also didn't trade one of the best relievers in baseball for him.

    Larnach to the IL? When did he get hurt?
  4. Danchat
    Let's not forget he blew that game in the 8th inning by giving up 2 HRs... long-term I think Duran is the guy you want out there in the 9th, but right now I don't want him in there when it's a 1 run game in the 9th.
  5. Danchat
    Yeah, wasn't it exactly the same, 1 run game, bases loaded, 2 outs, and a 3-2 count?

    Speaking of puck, this just happened:
  7. Danchat
    Well, that inning could have went a lot worse. Great play by Celestino - thought for a moment that was Buxton!
  8. Danchat
    Apparently you can't run to first if you struck out and the ball hits you. The ump rung him up, no point in running once that happens.
  9. Danchat
    Don't want to jinx him, but man does Winder look like the real deal. Can't take him out of the rotation when he's pitching this well. Finally, the pipeline of prospects arrives!!
  10. Danchat
    Perhaps I'm wrong, but isn't a HBP nullified if you make a full swing and the ball hits your fingers? Also, the ball hit his fingers and then the bat, but it still counted as a groundball... is there no rule about double touching the ball?
  11. Danchat
    For those who were saying he was ready to be in the Opening Day lineup for the Twins (and yes, I saw several people here saying that), that was never going to happen and he needs more time in the minors to work on his game. It's only his second full season in the minors. Find him a home in the outfield and let him focus on raising that batting average, and see if a power spurt comes along.

    The defense has been bad, but it's going to be hard working around a guy throwing 89 MPH and giving up consistently sharp contact. Reminds me too much of Happ and Shoemaker...
  14. Danchat
    Wow, horrible luck there. Still, a great inning to keep this game alive.
  15. Danchat
    He sure looked safe to me...
  16. Danchat
    Sano is getting surgery on his torn meniscus… did that actually happen during the celebration after his hit? Or was it something that was bugging him for some time, I wonder?
  17. Danchat
    Sands is going back to AAA for Moran, BTW. Wouldn't be surprised if he's only up for a few days.
  18. Danchat
    I'd demote Celestino for Kirilloff (so Gilberto can get some playing time at AAA) and Stashak or Jax for Gray.
  19. Danchat
    At least we have the luxury of a big lead to see if Duffey can rebound... so far, not looking good.
  20. Danchat
    I'd keep Winder in the rotation - at least over Archer. I think Archer is better off in the pen, as he seems to get fatigued faster. This is a positive development, young pitching thriving in the majors! Finally!
  21. Danchat
    Eh, I don't love this class, but I think Cine and Booth will be good players. I just don't like moving so far down without the right compensation and giving up on a blue chip player at #12 - most other years, we'd get a future 1st for moving down that far. Evans is the one Day 3 guy I really like, the rest are fliers.
  22. Danchat
    Does Encarnacion-Strand always get 2 hits per day? Seems like every time I check up on him, he does. It would be nice to see that raw power translate to the majors... but for years, our power-first prospects either never make it to the majors or stink when they do. I want to be convinced that Wallner could change this... but I have a hard time seeing it.
  23. Danchat
    That was Luke Raley. But I've made that same mistake with Brooks Raley before, too.
  24. Danchat
    Wow, best game of Garlick's career here?
  25. Danchat
    Wow, already 3 trades in the 4th round and two trade-downs. Are we sure we actually fired Spielman? I do like Evans in the 4th round, the other CBs left are veeeery raw. Most of Levi's guys are gone, and there's still a handful of guys I like - I'd love Austin III to give us some WR depth.
