  1. Because it is from the Premier12 tournament... No Twins players played in the tournament, MLB or MiLB... Park hasn't signed yet. I could have put it in the Twins one but thought this was the most appropriate.
  2. You know what they say about.... never mind..
  3. My thoughts... 50% = 50/50 that they'll get drafted. Jose Abreu - 0% Jason Adam - 0% Nick Anderson - 1% Luke Bard - 25% DJ Baxendale - 25% Omar Bencomo - 0% Edgar Corcino - 10% Sam Gibbons - 15% Miguel Gonzalez - 0% Niko Goodrum - 20% Bryan Haar - 0% Travis Harrison - 25% DJ Hicks - 10% David Hurlbut - 20% Cole Johnson - 15% Zack Jones - 50% Felix Jorge - 40% Marcus Knecht - 0% Brett Lee - 20% Kuo-Hua Lo - 5% Joe Maloney - 0% Aderlin Mejia - 0% Heiker Meneses - 0% Levi Michael - 48% Alex Muren - 30% Carlos Paulino - 0% Greg Peavey - 0% Michael Quesada - 0% Dereck Rodriguez - 20% Jairo Rodriguez - 0% Reynaldo Rodriguez - 2% Dan Runzler - 5% Tim Shibuya - 0% Matt Summers - 20% Todd Van Steensel - 0% Logan Wade - 0% Jason Wheeler - 30% Stephen Wickens - 3% Corey Williams - 46% Alex Wimmers - 20% Jones, Williams, Michaels and Jorge are the four that have some chance. I have Jones the highest at 50/50.
  4. I assume anyone over 50% means that you assume they will be drafted. If that is correct, it looks like you think that the wins will lose like 7-8 players in the Rule 5 draft... Ummm...
  5. 1.) They can still sign free agents. 2.) they will need to sign BH Park. 3.) Minor League FA have nothing to do with the 40 man roster.
  6. Wimmers has been back for two full seasons after TJ surgery. At this point, it won't be about medicals, at least not any more than any other player transaction would be.
  7. Maybe one some teams... Terry Ryan isn't going to do that. I think that all the angst over Dean is a bit much... The Twins think he's worth protecting. That's the story. That's it. It's not some conspiracy or something.
  8. The Scottsdale Scorpions won the 2016 Arizona Fall League championship today with a 6-4 win. The Minnesota Twins prospects led the way. Taylor Rogers started and went three shutout innings. He struck out two. Trevor Hildenberger worked a perfect fourth inning. Jake Reed walked the first batter he faced in the 8th inning, but then struck out the next three batters. Stuart Turner did a great job behind the plate, though he didn't have a hit. Adam Brett Walker had an RBI single and later he had a two-run double in the top of the 8th to give the Scorpions a 6-3 lead. Nick Burdi came in for the bottom of the ninth inning. He gave up a leadoff home run to cut the lead to 6-4, but then got the next three outs on a groundout, a strikeout and a pop out. Jake Reed and Taylor Rogers were on last year's AFL championship team. Reed, Burdi, Walker and Turner were on this year's Chattanooga team that won the Southern League championship. Walker has now won championships in Elizabethton, Ft. Myers, Chattanooga and Scottsdale... Maybe next year in Rochester and soon a championship with the Twins? Congratulations also to Chattanooga Lookouts hitting coach Chad Allen who also was Scottsdale's hitting coach.
  9. Well, the interesting thing is that I had heard about Rosario being added and I was just curious how that was possible... but either way... that was a good call.
  10. I don't think that's true necessarily... The US team was a collection of guys who weren't on the 40 man roster. Not elite prospects, but good ballplayers, several with big league time. Pounders had just come up with some really big pitches the previous inning but was brutal in that 5-run fourth inning. Most of the arms were AAA arms, some with big league time. Anyway, he got a mistake and he crushed it!
  11. Byung-Ho Park came to the plate for South Korea in the top of the 4th inning. His team was already ahead 4-0 against the USA team in the Premier12 championship game. Park got a pitch over the middle of the plate, and hit it approximately 700 feet, into the left field seats for a three-run homer to give the Korean team a 7-0 lead. They went on to win 8-0. Here is a video of the majestic blast. Check it out Minnesota Twins fans....Park Byung-ho crushed a 3-run home run against the USA tonight https://t.co/Mx2YupRzJO — Dan (@MyKBO) https://twitter.com/MyKBO/status/668051934666866688 Another angle: The catcher for Team USA was former Twins minor leaguer Dan Rohlfing.
  12. Fryer signed with the Cardinals. I think the Twins will likely sign a veteran catcher to a minor league deal and send him to AAA as the team's third catcher. Similar to Eric Fryer. I expect Turner to get at least another half-season in Chattanooga, and Garver should be there too. They did bring back Carlos Paulino who will remain in AAA. But I think they'll add one more as a guy who can be called up if there is an injury to Suzuki or Murphy.
  13. OK, sure... but some of those have zero chance of getting selected. In fact, I would say Dereck Rodriguez has a significantly better chance of being selected in the Rule 5 than Reynaldo. The guys I see as at-risk are Zack Jones, Corey Williams, Levi Michael and Felix Jorge.
  14. He was a good prospect and he turned it on again last August when he was put back in the starting rotation in Rochester. Pitched remarkably well. CAn be better. As a relieer, could be even better.
  15. I would expect it will be. I'd think Rosario will spend all of 2016 in Ft. Myers. And all of 2017 in Chattanooga... Kind of the same thing that Kepler did... and what Polanco would have done as well (although he had his MLB cups of coffee and a little Rochester time this year).
  16. something to remember... The Twins will likely sign a few free agents. They have to have a few guys on the roster right now who can be DFAd to make room for those free agents. The guys who were just added today can't be DFAd until sometime in spring training. In other words, if they sign Neal Cotts/Matt Thornton/whoever, they'd likely DFA someone else.
  17. I'm sure they have no interest in Rosario working out of the bullpen any time soon.
  18. I like this line: That's a big part of it too... the system is deep and though none of the guys left off the 40 man have real high ceilings (though we may feel differently about Jorge in a year from now), there is a lot of talent and that means some tough decisions.
  19. plus, I'm betting no one looks back on this next October to check... Ha!
  20. someone can find the specifics online somewhere, but basically players that are eligible for the MLB Rule 5 this year had to be protected on the AAA roster last year, and on the AA roster the year before. I think those rosters are 38. The main difference is that players selected in the minor league Rule 5 draft don't have to be offered back, and they don't have to play at any certain level. Guys like Goodrum, Wimmers, Harrison, Bard, etc. will almost certainly be on the AAA roster/reserve.
  21. He's far enough... the question with him may be, if he's a utility infielder, can he play SS or 3B? He did in college, but as a pro, he's been mainly at 2B.
  22. Tweeted this a bit ago... these are just estimates, but should still be close:
  23. To be fair, they probably agree, but they feel there was a better chance they would lose the ones that they did protect. Of course, we'll never know what would have happened if they had all been left unprotected.
  24. My guess: Felix Jorge tops out around 92, maybe 93. Rosario tops out at 97. Landa tops out at 99. Melotakis, when healthy, tops out at 98. Now, of course, Jorge starts, so you could maybe add a couple of ticks to his FB in the bullpen... I'm guessing, but we always talk about velocity... the guys added (exception being Dean who is left-handed, breathing and did well in AAA) have velocity.
