    Meyer is a starting pitcher. He's going to start at AA. He needs to build up some innings and to do that, needs to go down and start playing in minor league games to do that.

    During the game, it was announced on the radio that Trevor Plouffe was scratched with a calf strain, and that he was day-to-day. Following the game, Gardy announced that he is out at least a week, and if it were the regular season, Plouffe would be put on the Disabled List. This isn't a negative on the training staff. Likely there was an initial report that was enough to take him out of the lineup. Then he was evaluated and they determined the extent. But, this is an unfortunate setback for Plouffe who was hitting well since his return from another "minor injury."

    Talked to Stuifbergen this morning. He was impressed by that Japan team. Said it was the best he's played against. He admitted he actually felt pretty good today and that he had his good stuff. He said he made three mistakes, one was a crushed single, and the other two were crushed home runs.

    1.) As long as Chris Parmelee is healthy, he will be the team's starting RF when the season opens. 2.) They'll send down a bunch of the 40 man roster guys that won't be making the team. That would be Hermsen, May, Pinto, Arcia, Santana, Thielbar, Tonkin, 3.) As for non-roster guys that will be sent to minor league camp, I think it's more about guys that have no shot and aren't at a position of need. Also, starting pitchers that need to start getting stretched out. Remember that unlike 40 man roster players, these guys can still play in Twins spring games after their demotion. I would say guys like Augenstein, E Vasquez... could also officially send down the injured guys like Oliveros and Blackburn. They could do the same with Harden and Perez, although they likely won't send them to minor league camp. 4.) As for Benson, he is a possibility, but I think they need to make more decisions on him, so I expect he'll stick around long enough to have something positive happen.

    Yeah, I remember looking at Rich Becker's numbers a couple of years ago and thought that he would be much more appreciated now than he was in the mid-to-late '90s. He was a walk machine. He also struckout a ton. And, to answer the question, will all toolsy outfielders in the Twins system be compared to Torii Hunter? Yes, of course. In the same way that all strike-throwing pitchers who top out at 91 yet put up good numbers will be compared to Brad Radke. But, I would say that in terms of prospect status, Hicks and for sure Buxton are much more highly thought of prospects.

    Regarding Dozier in the televised game. That first at bat was certainly not good... But in the second at bat, he took some pitches and drilled an RBI single up the middle. In his third at bat, he took some pitches and worked a walk. Parker wrote an article a month or so ago about the mechanics of his swing, and even in the strikeout, the swing was good... It may come down entirely to pitch selection. And, Florimon is what he is. Incremental improvement is still improvement. IF he can play the kind of SS defense that people are convinced he can, there is a ton of value in that . He's also the #9 hitter... Optimism is a good thing. Hope is a good thing. As I had in my projections, I don't think that Florimon will be on the roster terribly long, maybe a couple of months, before Escobar takes over at short. But, I have no problem with giving Florimon's glove an opportunity. Jamey Carroll is always around.

    Gardy likes to talk in spring about the guys he is impressed with and how he'll go tell Ryan that he'd really like to see them on the big league roster and fight for them. But he's also not dumb. He's smart enough to know that the Twins may promote guys directly from AA, but not guys with a half-season of Hi-A ball. Meyer will move fast. Hendriks will likely be on the roster, but it's good to have guys like De Vries (who also may make the Opening Day roster) and Deduno at AAA for depth for the big league rotation. But frankly, no one is going to be holding Meyer back. It feels like he's the kind of guy that will get called up right from AA potentialy.
  9. Seth Stohs
    Of course, that's subject to change after Bard gets healthy and starts the 2013 season. Just like Brown may become a better pitcher long-term than Berrios. Won't really know for another 6-8 years.
  10. Seth Stohs
    Strange response... 1.) Who cares about his overall numbers. Scouts certainly aren't looking at those very much. How about 5 walks and 45 strikeouts in 31 innings this year? Shows a pretty good trajectory. 2.) The Twins aren't going to take anyone just because they're local. If it makes sense, they do. They took Mauer because they believed he was the best player in the 2001 draft. The took Glen Perkins in 2004 because they felt he was the best available at that pick (around 22, I believe). They didn't take Mitch Brown last year. No one is suggesting they take him because he's from Minnesota, especially not at 4.

    World Baseball Classic: Most Recent | CAN@MEX: Cruz gestures after Robinson's bunt - Video The above link shows Luis Cruz, upset because the batter before Tosoni (Chris Robinson) bunted in the 9th inning with a 9-3 lead, telling the pitcher to hit Tosoni in the ribs. Pretty clear. As the Mexico manager said, he must not have done a good job of telling his team the rules of the tournament which has run differential as a tie-breaker, so the bunt was not out of line.

    Tosoni had absolutely no fault in this brawl. He just happened to be the guy up to bat when 3B Luis Cruz (4 seasons of big league time) told RHP Arturo Leon to hit Tosoni in the ribs (there is video showing this is as well). 8 players were ejected. Tosoni was one of them just because he was the hitter... Twins farm hand Andrew Albers (who gave up two runs in 3 innings in the game) was also ejected. It was an impressive brawl.

    New Britain has been in playoff contention until the final day of each of the last two seasons. Ft. Myers has been horrible the last two years. That said, I'd definitely assume they'll start Meyer (and May and Hermsen in New Britain).
  14. Seth Stohs
    Just like they did last year? They may take him, but I Don't think it's a given... but I think you make a good point.
  15. Seth Stohs
    In all likelihood, it's likely that Windle has already been drafted when the Twins pick in the 2nd round. Lots of season left and many more scouts will see him, but this would sure be a nice 2nd round pick.
  16. Seth Stohs
    I think May, Meyer and Hermsen all start in AA this season.
  17. Seth Stohs
    Wouldn't it be funny if Mauer, Morneau and Perkins are back in Twins camp before Butera and Colabello. As a Twins fans, I would be quite happy!
  18. Seth Stohs
    I think the only reason they didn't was because Mazzilli chose not to sign. (9th round pick)
  19. Seth Stohs
    Yeah, late last night Deolis tweeted that he was very disappointed in not being able to play for his country in the WBC. Too bad. He had a tremendous winter in the VWL!
  20. Seth Stohs
    lightfoot - People have said that Sano is 6-4 and 240... sounds about right... he doesn't have much body fat at all. Vargas is probably 6-6 and was at 272 in Instructs last fall (according to Baseball America). But he played in Puerto Rico and both have been in Ft. Myers since mid-January, so I can't speak to either with certainty.
  21. Seth Stohs
    So, if Gibson isn't showing he's one of the top 5 starters, which he isn't right now... where should they have him "waste" those innings? In Extended Spring?
  22. Seth Stohs
    Fun read... Good to hear Niko is getting bigger and stronger. I don't expect a lot of power, but hopefully he can add some doubles, triples. Have heard rumblings that he could move over to 3B some this year, though, he's such a good athlete, could play anywhere. Good to hear about Kepler's speed. No question, he's got the ability to play CF. He did it last year at Elizabethton, well, until Buxton got there. he's a terrific athlete.
  23. Seth Stohs
    I just don't think that they'll go with a lefty because 1.) none are making it clear they should, and 2.) so many RHP are out of options and I think they would give them a shot first. That's also the reason that I can't quite put Burnett and Fein in Red. They do have an option left and others don't.

    I think cmathewson just illustrated the topic perfectly... Thank you for that!
