    Yikes, AAA pitching has been dreadful so far. De Jong has truly bombed out. On the other side of things, I think Wade is almost ready for the majors, but things are a bit crowded up there. Both he and Cave deserve to be reserver OFs on major league squads, methinks.
  2. Danchat
    Trey Mancini looks like a legit hitter, and the rest of the team is in shambles. I feel bad for the guy, as he probably won't get traded for a while.
  3. Danchat
    What's his groundball %? And what about exit velocity?
  4. Danchat
    That BABIP doesn't baffle me. Kepler hits tons of soft pop-outs to the outfield that have almost zero percent chance of dropping. He doesn't hit many line drives, and so his BABIP will seemingly always look low, but it seems clear that's just who he is.

    It doesn't sound like Baldelli and the coaches give a crap about the promotional days. It's a shame, but a reality for a modern coaching staff.

    I'm busy watching the NFL draft right now, but wow, 3 HRs in the 1st inning! I wish we could play the Orioles more often!

    Ervin Santana is already getting DFAd by the White Sox. Looks like he’s cooked, he never got his stuff back after that finger surgery.
  8. Danchat
    Poor Dozier, he's hitting just .183 with a paltry .632 OPS. He's always a slow starter, but I didn't suspect his career would take such a 180 degree turn into becoming this so quickly. I'd just keep giving Schoop starts and see how he goes for a full season. We have the money over future years to sign him to an extension, though I'd be wary if Polanco ends up as a long-term 2B.

    It’s been like this for years now, any pitcher we call up who wasn’t Rogers or Hildenberger is simply awful. Even though most of these guys aren’t Falvine prospects, it still feels like our pitching development is broken. I’m not convinced it’s a talent issue, as we’ve seen other teams poach our pitchers and end up with much better results.

    I'm not excited to see Lewis struggling out of the gate and Rooker striking out 2-3 times a game. I wonder if Moya will be a factor at some point. The Twins have been terrible at developing these fringe relievers over the past few years, so I wouldn't be surprised if he flames out just like the others.
  11. Danchat
    I can't say I'm surprised Stewart's given up 5 runs. He's a non-prospect facing a deadly lineup, so it could have been worse.
  12. Danchat
    If Cave was given enough PAs, I think we could see him get into the .700s. I don't hate that he's been optioned, but he's nice depth to have if one of our OFs (probably Buxton) ever get hurt. I'm still high on Cave as a good 4th OF.
  13. Danchat
    Baldelli must like what Gonzalez brings at 3B defensively, because having Tortuga at 3B and Gonzalez in RF makes a lot more sense to me. Marwin played a lot at LF and was rated as a top 15 fielder there out of around 70-80 qualified outfielders.
  14. Danchat
    Huh? He's got a good arm from what I watched. Dick and Bert were raving about his great throws from 3B yesterday. His bat is another thing, however.
  15. Danchat
    Can we finally DFA Duffey after this? We've seen more than enough of him. This is year 3 in the bullpen for him, and the lights aren't coming on.
  16. Danchat
    Ah, if only Garver's hit could have went a little further, but still a great inning. We'll probably be seeing Pressly in the 8th, so hopefully our bullpen can match...
  17. Danchat
    Since that Rosario HR, Miley has been lights out. Yikes!
  18. Danchat
    Pineda has made it over the 4 inning mark... but things are pretty iffy right now.
  19. Danchat
    I'll take the over.
  20. Danchat
    We've had some good (or bad?) timing with these "can they keep it up?" articles. Maybe we should stop for our pitchers' sakes!
  21. Danchat
    Yikes, that looked worse than usual. Reminds me of Joel Zumaya. I guess this is why the FO didn't bother protecting him, as they probably didn't think he could stay healthy.
  22. Danchat
    It was said in the game thread yesterday that both Kepler and Parker were sick.
  23. Danchat
    I was afraid the Twins were going to lose that first game, so thank goodness they got the sweep [of the doubleheader]. They really needed this after losing 3 to the Jays. Now go out there and get a win tomorrow, boys. Keep those bats hot!
  24. Danchat
    So they're keeping Gonzalez in the #2 slot and both Kepler and Polanco are out of the lineup... I don't love that. Kepler must be dealing with a minor injury or something.
  25. Danchat
    Buxton being looking like a MLB-caliber hitter has really helped this team. It seems like the guy's due for a double every day!
