    Here’s a shot from my seat:
  2. Danchat
    Kepler on IL, Rortvedt up.
  3. Danchat
    I’m going to my first game in two years now. It’s been a long time! Hoping for the offense to jump on Keller, and Shoemaker’s start will not be super slow.
  4. Danchat
    He certainly has more upside, but they probably want him to pitch in AAA a bit before the Twins. BTW the Minaya move is official, Stashak was optioned to get him on the roster.
  5. Danchat
    I’m fine with DFAing Chalmers, I was surprised he was added to the 40 man in the first place. Just too wild and I don’t consider him to be a top 30 prospect. However, I don’t see the point of adding Minaya, he’s just another AAAA arm. I’d much rather see someone with a smudge of upside over him.
  6. Danchat
    Stashak still looks broken, despite having a long break since his last outing.
  7. Danchat
    It seems like every time Rocco goes outside his comfort zone with the starter late in their outing, they always screw it up.
  8. Danchat
    He was hitting really well the first 2-3 weeks after his hammy pull. He was at around .400 early in that stretch.
  9. Danchat
    Donaldson has been in a slump lately, he's been missing a lot of hittable pitches and has been popping out, a lot on the high fastball (from what I've noticed). Hopefully he rebounds soon, defensively as well.
  10. Danchat
    I turned the TV on at the wrong time, I see.
  11. Danchat
    I agree with the comments above, Duran just needs to get more innings under his belt. I wouldn’t mind if he doesn’t come up until August, when he’s ready to go. I’m starting to sour on Thorpe again. Can’t keep his MPH up, and he’s toast if he can’t find a role as a reliever.
  12. Danchat
    I wonder what happened to Jaylin Davis? He hasn’t played in the minors or majors for them this year.
  13. Danchat
    Some inside info got out today: I had initially doubted Darren Wolfson's report that the Vikings tried to make a trade up for Justin Fields, but I'm starting to believe it after seeing this and contemplating the Mond pick. I had thought Spielman was doubling down on Cousins, but it seems they were committed to finding his replacement in this draft. Still wish we wouldn't have given Kirk the 2 year extension. Here part of the clip:
  14. Danchat
    Nice, let's go over the other three: I was a fan of Littell's and thought the Twins gave up on him too quickly. He's pitching like it's 2019 again, though SSS of course. He's still only 25, and certainly worth a shot more than the washed up vets the Twins like to try in the pen. Chargois always had the stuff, but just could never put it together. John Curtiss was a similar one too, always thought he had the arm but the Twins lost patience, and the Rays fixed him up. The Marlins are getting a good year out of him right now. I can't imagine Ervin has much time left, but dang, I did not see his MPH on his fastball coming back. Darn finger surgery, or whatever the issue was really sidetracked his career after having a great 2017 season.
  15. Danchat
    It was a lot more gettable than it should have been!
  16. Danchat
    I'm not sure Cave should play another game for the Twins when he's healthy... and it has to do more with him than it does Refsnyder. With so many lefties on the OF it just doesn't make sense to keep him around.
  17. Danchat
    Colome is so much worse in close games, it's night and day. When the stakes are low, he's great, but yikes...
  18. Danchat
    He turns 27 in two days, so I wouldn't call that about to hit 30. But yeah, another disappointing outing from him so far. Orioles are getting some really sharp hits off him. Not good when Shoemaker did a better job yesterday.
  19. Danchat
    Go Refsnyder go! He's already got 4 more RBIs than Jake Cave had this whole season. I like this guy!
  20. Danchat
    SSS aside, Refsnyder has been a pretty massive upgrade from Cave. Hits RH, seems to be better defensively, and has had competent ABs. Yes, he's not going to keep hitting .380, but I'd much prefer his approach to Cave's feeble 45 OPS+.
  21. Danchat
    Holy cow, Seth, this is a beefy update. Good work!! The starter prospects give me a lot of hope, they seem to be mostly dealing. Just got to get Balazovic going again, he has a lot of ground to cover. A few of the hitting prospects do concern me with their K rates. Rooker seems to be leaning towards bust now that he can't hit anything, and our other two plus-power prospects are striking out a ton. Wallner and Sabato have plenty of time, but they have me worried. I'm also surprised with Jeffers' massive struggles, even at AAA. He was holding up against MLB pitching last year, and now can't find his footing. To answer your question, Opening Day Rotation 2024: Balazovic, Canterino, Winder, Free Agent/Trade, Free Agent/Trade. I've done these in years past and they always end up being wildly inaccurate, so here's a unique one. Duran ends up in the pen, Dobnak is traded in a previous year, and the other prospects either bust or remain in the minors.
  22. Danchat
    Maybe the Orioles will return Wells to us after this series...
  23. Danchat
    Holy cow, boys! Slow down! 6 for 8 in RISP - it's about time we had a game like this! Oh, and by the way, the Wild are up 3-1 at the end of the 1st. Looks like Minnesota sports went nuts the last 30 minutes!
  24. Danchat
    I suppose, I thought he at least threw a fastball around 90, though I know he didn't throw it a lot.
  25. Danchat
    Yeah, he's got really good numbers on the year (1.65 FIP 2.5 ERA, 10.5 K/9 somehow), but he doesn't throw a fastball and he tops out at 85 MPH... I have no idea how that works in the modern game. He looks like a semi-knuckleballer.
