Article: Arcia, Hicks might have earned a look
Seth Stohs replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Neither will come up before the Rock Cats playoff run ends, whenever that is. And that's good, because as has been noted, they wouldn't get much playing time. I can see Arcia coming up after they're done. Both have been terrific, but because of the current OF set up, unless there is an injury, I wouldn't expect to see either. If we do, that'd be very fun to watch too. -
Article: Arcia, Hicks might have earned a look
Seth Stohs replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
This is true, and yet when I went to the AFL 2 years ago, Starlin Castro was playing there... and I think there were a couple others from the Dominican there last year. That said, Arcia most likely will just play for Araqua again this offseason. I would assume that's where they'll send Aaron Hicks for a month or so as well. -
Correct! And the Twins base their payroll on estimated revenues for the upcoming season. Like Phil, I just believe that too many use payroll as reasoning, but at the end of the day, thats such a small piece of the puzzle. Making good baseball decisions and then how the players actually play us what matters.

Article: Sunday Minor League Game Notes
Seth Stohs replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Yes, and yet, neither of the individuals is at all surprising. -
If we agree that revenues are $200 million, and they spend even 50% on payroll (teams try to be within 48-50%), that's a $100 million payroll. So, yes, they went over payroll last year, and it didn't work. This year, they were more responsible. The key is not the payroll, it's how the payroll dollars are spent. The Twins, like all but about 4-5 teams, have little margin for mistakes and bad contracts. Frankly, the Twins have to get out from a couple of those bad contracts... and they also need a couple of young guys to come up and become solid regulars. Why? Because having a few contributing players at $450,000 allows money to be spent elsewhere. It's a balance.

Well, Desmond Jennings didn’t get a double on the first pitch in Sunday’s game as he had Friday and Saturday nights. However, on a 1-2 pitch, he hit a home run off of Scott Diamond. Diamond threw yet another Quality Start, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough and the Twins lost 6-3 thanks to a late rally by the Rays. In the minor leagues, there is a lot going on. Monday will be the final off day for New Britain. Not big news by itself, but it does mean that the seasons are wrapping up quickly. The Rock Cats find themselves fighting for a playoff spot. If the season ended today, they would have the final Eastern League playoff position. The Beloit Snappers earned their playoff berth in the first half, and they are putting together a strong roster. Elizabethton is again a force in the Appalachian League. It will be fun to watch these final weeks. If you missed it on Sunday, I posted the current Minor League Hitting Leaders and Pitching Leaders in many categories. Check those out. There were many more terrific performances on Sunday. Here is a look at the Twins minor league scores and highlights: [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK] ROCHESTER 10, LEHIGH VALLEY 0 The Red Wings continue to get great performances from a couple of guys who started the season with the Twins and were sent down for more seasoning. In this game, Liam Hendriks started and threw seven shutout innings. He gave up just four hits, walked one and struck out four to drop his ERA to 1.99 with the Red Wings. Caleb Thielbar came in and gave up just two hits over the final two innings. He struck out two. Chris Parmelee led the offense in this one. The first baseman went 3-4 with a walk, his 14th double, his 14th and 15th home runs and four RBI. Matt Carson went 2-5 with his 22nd double and 13th home run. Clete Thomas went 2-4 with a walk, his 12th home run and his 10th stolen base. NEW BRITAIN 3, READING 8 The Rock Cats and Reading split their four game set, leaving the Rock Cats ½ game ahead for the final playoff spot with three weeks to go. The Rock Cats fell behind early. They were down 4-0 heading into the 7th inning stretch, but over the next two innings, they pulled back to within one, 4-3. Unfortunately, they allowed four runs in the top of the 9th and fell 8-3. Steve Hirschfeld started and gave up four runs (3 earned) on eight hits over five innings. He falls to 7-7. Aaron Thompson came in and gave up just one hit over two scoreless innings. Jose Gonzalez struckout one in his inning. Dakota Watts came in for the 9th frame and gave up four runs (2 earned) on two hits and a walk. Dan Rohlfing led the offense. He went 3-4 with his 12th double. Deibinson Romero went 2-4. Chris Colabello was 1-2 with two walks. Oswaldo Arcia went 1-3 with a walk and his 15th double. FT. MYERS, ST. LUCIE Carl Pavano was supposed to start, and Kyle Gibson was supposed to come in second for the Miracle. Unfortunately, the game was postponed due to rain. BELOIT 6, PEORIA 5 Kennys Vargas drilled a three-run home run in the first, and the Snappers hung on for a one-run lead. Vargas led the way on this day. The burly first baseman went 2-3, was hit by a pitch, hit his fourth double and the homer was his eighth. Steven Wickens went 2-3 with a walk. Nate Roberts had a walk, his 12th double and stole his 20th base. Tyler Jones got the start and struggled through 3.2 innings. He gave up four runs on four hits and six walks. Corey Kimes came in and gave up just one run on three hits over the next 3.1 innings. Cole Johnson returned from the DL and worked a scoreless eighth frame. Corey Williams picked up his 16th save with a scoreless ninth. It was a short day for 3B Miguel Sano. After walking in the first inning, he was called out on strikes in the third. A brief glance turned into his first ejection of the year. The Snappers wore special “Tuxedo” uniforms as seen below. (Thank you to Rinaldi Photos for the below picture of infielder Steven Wickens in his tuxedo uniform!) ELIZABETHTON 3, BRISTOL 1 The E-Twins are known for having a big offense, but on this day, it was an all-around great game for the team. There was some offense. Niko Goodrum was 3-5. Adam Walker was 3-5 with his first stolen base. Max Kepler was 2-5. Those were the team’s 2, 3 and 4 hitters. The other six hitters combined to go 2-22 in the game. There was some good pitching as well. Hein Robb, a young lefty from South Africa, started and gave up just one hit in five scoreless innings. He walked none and struck out five. Josh Burris improved to 6-0. He gave up no runs and no hits, but he walked two and struck out two. Andrew Ferreira walked one and struck out one in a scoreless inning. JT Chargois pitched the final two innings to record his third save. He gave up one run on one hit and two walks. He struck out five.

Article: Twins Minor League Leader Board - Pitchers
Seth Stohs replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
That definitely stood out to me too when I was looking up the numbers. -
Nope... Other than MLB players are really, really good. But AAA track record for guys that are young has to mean something... Not always, but usually. Both have done exactly what you would hope they would do when sent down. Forced the issue and gave the Twins some guys to be excited about.

Earlier today, I posted the Twins Minor League Leader Board for the hitters. Now comes the leader board among Twins minor league pitchers. Pitchers are more difficult to compare against each other. Comparing starting pitchers with relievers is really difficult. So, what I've done is set two limits for many of these categories. I used a 40 inning limit, and then I used an 80 innings limit. There have been a couple of starters who have pitched well and consistently in the minors this year. There have been a handful of relievers that have put up very good numbers. Here is a look at the pitching leaders in the Twins minor league system (through games played on Saturday, August 11): [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]Games Pitched: #1 - Caleb Thielbar 42 #2 - Ricky Bowen 41 #3 - Corey Williams 40 #4 - Bruce Pugh 39 #4 - Bobby Lanigan 39 #4 - Daniel Turpen 39 #7 - Michael Tonkin 38 #8 - Luis Perdomo 37 #9 - Clinton Dempster 36 #9 - Matt Hauser 36 Games Started: #1 - Pat Dean 24 #2 - Matt Summers 23 #2 - Jason Wheeler 23 #2 - Steve Hirschfeld 23 #2 - Logan Darnell 23 #6 - Madison Boer 22 #6 - BJ Hermsen 22 #8 - Luke French 19 #9 - Steven Gruver 17 #10 - Tim Shibuya 15 Wins: #1 - Jason Wheeler 13-5 #2 - BJ Hermsen 11-5 #3 - Matt Summers 10-6 #4 - Madison Boer 8-11 #4 - Logan Darnell 8-10 #4 - Liam Hendriks 8-2 #4 - Steve Hirschfeld 8-9 #8 - Pat Dean 7-8 #8 - Esmerling Vasquez 7-5 #10 - 4 tied with 6 Wins Saves: #1 - Corey Williams 15 #2 - Bruce Pugh 11 #2 - Michael Tonkin 11 #4 - Luis Perdomo 9 #4 - Casey Fien 9 #4 - Anthony Slama 9 #7 - Lester Oliveros 8 #8 - Daniel Turpen 7 #9 - Caleb Thielbar 6 #10 - Ricky Bowen 5 Innings Pitched: #1 - BJ Hermsen 139.1 #2 - Pat Dean 135.1 #3 - Matt Summers 131.2 #3 - Jason Wheeler 131.2 #5 - Logan Darnell 128.1 #6 - Steve Hirschfeld 127 #7 - Madison Boer 118.2 #8 - Luke French 104.1 #9 - Steven Gruver 101 #10 - David Hurlbut 94 ERA (min. 40 IP) #1 - AJ Achter 1.79 #2 - Michael Tonkin 1.86 #3 - Caleb Thielbar 2.08 #4 - Bruce Pugh 2.12 #5 - Sam Deduno 2.14 #5 - Liam Hendriks 2.14 #5 - Luis Perdomo 2.14 #8 - Clint Dempster 2.25 #9 - Jeff Manship 2.35 #10 - Angel Mata 2.40 #10 - Hudson Boyd 2.40 ERA (min. 80 IP) #1 - Liam Hendriks 2.14 #2 - David Hurlbut 2.59 #3 - BJ Hermsen 2.71 #4 - Matt Hauser 2.92 #5 - Esmerling Vasquez 3.10 #6 - Jason Wheeler 3.28 #7 - Andrew Albers 3.43 #8 - Matt Summers 3.62 #9 - Steven Gruver 3.74 #10 - Pat Dean 4.12 WHIP (min. 40 IP) #1 - Luis Perdomo 0.949 #2 - Liam Hendriks 0.964 #3 - AJ Achter 0.995 #4 - Lester Oliveros 1.014 #5 - Michael Tonkin 1.032 #6 - Caleb Thielbar 1.046 #7 - Angel Mata 1.089 #8 - Matt Tomshaw 1.108 #9 - BJ Hermsen 1.127 #10 - Esmerling Vasquez 1.131 WHIP (min. 80 IP) #1 - Liam Henriks 0.964 #2 - BJ Hermsen 1.127 #3 - Esmerling Vasquez 1.131 #4 - David Hurlbut 1.202 #5 - Andrew Albers 1.217 #6 - Matt Hauser 1.262 #7 - Jason Wheeler 1.337 #8 - Matt Summers 1.375 #9 - Steven Gruver 1.396 #10 - Pat Dean 1.397 K/9 (min. 40 IP): #1 - Michael Tonkin 12.3 #2 - AJ Achter 10.7 #3 - Taylor Rogers 10.5 #4 - Tyler Jones 10-4 #5 - Sam Deduno 9.9 #6 - Daniel Turpen 9.6 #6 - Nelvin Fuentes 9.6 #6 - Corey Williams 9.6 #6 - Angel Mata 9.6 #10 - Lester Oliveros 9.5 K/9 (min. 80 IP) #1 - Esmerling Vasquez 8.5 #2 - David Hurlbut 7.1 #2 - Matt Hauser 7.1 #4 - Liam Hendriks 7.0 #5 - Andrew Albers 6.9 #6 - Marty Popham 6.8 #7 - Jason Wheeler 6.7 #8 - Steve Hirschfeld 6.0 #9 - Logan Darnell 5.8 #9 - Luke French 5.8 BB/9 (min. 40 IP) #1 - Cole De Vries 1.3 #1 - Andrew Albers 1.3 #3 - BJ Hermsen 1.6 #4 - Tom Stuifbergen 1.7 #5 - PJ Walters 1.8 #5 - Matt Tomshaw 1.8 #5 - Tim Shibuya 1.8 #8 - Pat Dean 1.9 #9 - AJ Achter 2.1 #10 - 4 tied at 2.3 (Gruver, Hirschfeld, Liam Hendriks, O'Rourke) BB/9 (min. 80 IP) #1 - Andrew Albers 1.3 #2 - BJ Hermsen 1.6 #3 - Pat Dean 1.9 #4 - Steven Gruver 2.3 #4 - Steve Hirschfeld 2.3 #4 - Liam Hendriks 2.3 #7 - David Hurlbut 2.4 #8 - Jason Wheeler 2.5 #9 - Logan Darnell 2.7 #10 - Matt Summers 3.1 Complete Games 10 tied with ONE.

He hasn't caught... the backup plan for Dereck Rodriguez would likely be on the mound. However, he's a potential 5-tool OF, so they'll stick with that for awhile.
-
I would never go over $10 million per year on a pitcher, and I would never go more than 3 years on a pitcher (unless he's 28 or less). So, that means 3 years and $30 million cap. I think you might be able to get Anibal Sanchez and maybe Edwin Jackson for that. I'd definitely take a flyer on Jurrjens on like a 1 year, $4 million or 2 year, $7 million deal. And, I would absolutely bring back Scott Baker. And, I would absolutely not bring back Carl Pavano.

Aaron Hicks 3rd best prospect in the system?
Seth Stohs replied to DaveW's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Because of Joe Mauer and Ryan Doumit, it's likely that Herrmann will be a backup catcher for the Twins. But I don't at all see that as his ceiling. I think he can play for the Twins in that same Doumit role, where he is the #2/#3 catcher, but he is also a very good defensive outfielder. He's a catcher prospect who gives versatility, can hit .270ish, get on base a lot, hit 10-12 homers, hit doubles, and even steal a dozen bases. There's a lot of value in that. -

Yeah, I would LOVE to see Colabello get a September call up! It's a nice story, but for 3 weeks, he'd be a right-handed 1B/DH/PH option off the bench. DFA him at the end of the year and hope that he clears so you can send him to Rochester next year. -

Seth Stohs replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
He's the story of the year, in my opinion in the organization. The Twins signed him this spring. He's 28 years old and has been playing independent league baseball since playing in college. He's never played affiliated ball before. The Twins had a few holes to fill this spring and signed him. No bonus, just an opportunity. I'd say he's taking advantage of it. -
Aaron Hicks 3rd best prospect in the system?
Seth Stohs replied to DaveW's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Felix Jorge likely won't be in my Top 50, but he is a very good prospect. Very young, throws hard, developing secondary stuff. Jorge has a chance to move up, but could take him another two seasons just to get to Beloit. Very young. Very talented. Good, live arm. -
As we get closer to the end of the minor league seasons, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the leaders in many statistical categories. Throughout the season, Twins Daily has posted daily minor league reports. Within those, some names certainly tend to find their way into the reports more frequently than others.

Minnesota Twins Minor League Leaderboard
Seth Stohs commented on Seth Stohs's blog entry in SethSpeaks.net
As we get closer to the end of the minor league seasons, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the leaders in many statistical categories. Throughout the season, Twins Daily has posted daily minor league reports. Within those, some names certainly tend to find their way into the reports more frequently than others. At the same time, there are others who have just been solid throughout the season and may surprise you when you see some of their rankings. There is still another 3-4 weeks, but this could be considered an early look at potential players of the year. Here are the Twins offensive statistical leaders through games played on Saturday, August 11th: Plate Appearances: #1 - Miguel Sano 478 #2 - Chris Herrmann 470 #3 - Aaron Hicks 467 #4 - Evan Bigley 464 #4 - Chris Colabello 464 #4 - Deibinson Romero 464 #7 - Danny Santana 463 #8 - Pedro Florimon 460 #9 - Oswaldo Arcia 438 #10 - Levi Michael 435 Hits: #1 - Oswaldo Arcia 122 #1 - Danny Santana 122 #3 - Chris Colabello 119 #4 - Chris Herrmann 113 #4 - Evan Bigley 113 #6 - Aaron Hicks 110 #7 - Matt Carson 108 #8 - Pedro Florimon 107 #9 - Deibinson Romero 105 #10 - Miguel Sano 100 #10 - Danny Ortiz 100 Doubles: #1 - Chris Colabello 34 #2 - Oswaldo Arcia 30 #3 - Eddie Rosario 27 #4 - Evan Bigley 25 #5 - Miguel Sano 24 #6 - Chris Herrmann 22 #7 - Matt Carson 21 #8 - Danny Ortiz 21 #9 - Aaron Hicks 19 #9 - Pedro Florimon 19 #9 - Dan Rohlfing 19 Triples: #1 - Danny Santana 8 #2 - Aaron Hicks 7 #3 - Niko Goodrum 6 #4 - Oswaldo Arcia 5 #4 - Danny Ortiz 5 #6 - 8 tied with 4 Home Runs: #1 - Miguel Sano 23 #2 - Chris Colabello 18 #3 - Deibinson Romero 16 #4 - Oswaldo Arcia 14 #4 - Evan Bigley 14 #4 - Wilkin Ramirez 14 #7 - Chris Parmelee 13 #7 - Lance Ray 13 #9 - Aaron Hicks 12 #9 - Adam Walker 12 #9 - Matt Carson 12 Runs Scored: #1 - Aaron Hicks 82 #2 - Chris Herrmann 80 #3 - Chris Colabello 68 #4 - Miguel Sano 62 #5 - Oswaldo Arcia 61 #6 - Danny Santana 59 #7 - Deibinson Romero 57 #7 - Matt Carson 57 #9 - Evan Bigley 51 #10 - Levi Michael 49 RBI: #1 - Miguel Sano 89 #2 - Chris Colabello 87 #3 - Evan Bigley 81 #4 - Oswaldo Arcia 78 #5 - Deibinson Romero 66 #6 - Lance Ray 61 #7 - Eddie Rosario 58 #8 - Aaron Hicks 54 #9 - Chris Herrmann 50 #10 - Josmil Pinto 48 Stolen Bases: #1 - Aaron Hicks 27 #2 - Nate Roberts 19 #3 - JD Williams 17 #4 - Danny Santana 16 #4 - Jhon Goncalves 16 #6 - Darin Mastroianni 14 #7 - Joe Benson 13 #7 - Pedro Florimon 13 #9 - John Murphy 12 #10 - Aderlin Mejia 10 Walks: #1 - Miguel Sano 73 #2 - Aaron Hicks 67 #3 - Deibinson Romero 52 #4 - Levi Michael 48 #5 - Chris Herrmann 47 #6 - Jhon Goncalves 45 #7 - Oswaldo Arcia 43 #8 - Wang-Wei Lin 42 #9 - Lance Ray 41 #10 - Angel Morales 36 Strikeouts: #1 - Miguel Sano 128 #2 - Pedro Florimon 111 #3 - Evan Bigley 107 #4 - Angel Morales 103 #5 - JD Williams 100 #6 - Matt Carson 99 #7 - Wilkin Ramirez 96 #7 - Aaron Hicks 96 #9 - Matt Koch 92 #10 - Oswaldo Arcia 87 #10 - Clete Thomas 87 Batting Average (min. 250 plate appearances): #1 - Oswaldo Arcia - .319 #2 - Eddie Rosario - .313 #3 - Nate Roberts - .295 #4 - Chris Colabello - .286 #5 - Josmil Pinto - .285 #6 - Danny Santana - .283 #7 - Aaron Hicks - .282 #8 - Matt Carson - .278 #9 - Nate Hanson - .277 #10 - Chris Herrmann - .273 On-Base Percentage (min. 250 plate appearances): #1 - Nate Roberts - .437 #2 - Oswaldo Arcia - .389 #3 - Aaron Hicks - .383 #4 - Miguel Sano - .379 #5 - Eddie Rosario - .368 #6 - Jhon Goncalves - .362 #7 - Deibinson Romero - .358 #8 - Josmil Pinto - .351 #9 - Chris Colabello - .350 #10 - Matt Koch - .348 Slugging Percentage (min. 250 plate appearances) #1 - Oswaldo Arcia - .533 #2 - Miguel Sano - .515 #3 - Eddie Rosario - .505 #4 - Chris Colabello - .502 #5 - Aaron Hicks - .459 #6 - Josmil Pinto - .458 #7 - Wilkin Ramirez - .440 #8 - Deibinson Romero - .439 #9 - Matt Carson - .434 #10 - Nate Roberts - .430 #10 - Evan Bigley - .430 OPS (min. 250 plate appearances): #1 - Oswaldo Arcia - .922 #2 - Miguel Sano - .894 #3 - Eddie Rosario - .873 #4 - Nate Roberts - .867 #5 - Chris Colabello - .852 #6 - Aaron Hicks - .842 #7 - Josmil Pinto - .809 #8 - Deibinson Romero - .797 #9 - Matt Carson - .775 #10 - Matt Koch - .758 [ATTACH=CONFIG]1994[/ATTACH]
