    Also, this is where you have to trust he scouts and coaching staffs and such... although Machado's AA numbers were not that great, he's come up and had 2 hits in his first game and homered tonight.

    "both Morneau and Mauer were quickly moved through the system. So that leaves Span from you list as an example to compare to Sano?" Mauer spent his first full minor league season in Low A. At basically the same age, so will Sano. Next year, Sano could move up a level or two, like Mauer did. Or, he could move at the Revere pace and move up one step at a time. Either is fine. At the end of the day, it's not about getting them there quickly... it's about them being ready when they get there. They've moved Arcia pretty quickly. Hicks was moved slowly early, and clearly he needed that. There is no booklet that says exactly how long a player should take to advance. Why should Hicks come up for September? I get it, if he's going to play, like Benson and Parmelee and Tosoni did last year. But if Willingham, Span and Revere are all there and playing, then he might as well go play elsewhere. They'll add him to the 40 man roster either way. Also, there is a month left in the season. New Britain is very near a playoff spot, and Rochester is somehow finding themselves back into the playoff conversation. The Twins have shown a willingness to call guys up from AA if they're playing well, so why mess things up for those teams? No one's development is being stalled.

    That's the plan at this point.

    Later in his answer, he says he really likes Dozier and what he brings to the field and to the team. He definitely believes in him, and has seen some improvements of late. He said there is no surprised that Dozier, like most rookies, struggle when he has come up.

    These are just numbers, so take them for what they are: HR/Game at Target Field according to ESPN's Hit Tracker: 2010 - 1.43 2011 - 1.56 2012 - 2.09 So, clearly there are more homers... but, affects could be: 1.) The Willingham Factor - 17 of his 29 are at home... As Parker said last offseason, his swing and pull-tendencies make him ideal for the ballpark. 2.) The Plouffe Hot Streak - 12 of his 19 homers are at home... 3.) The Kubel Canyon - just 12 of his 33 homers from 2010 and 2011 were at Target Field. He hated it and that's why he never considered coming back here. How many fly outs did he have to that RCF gap? Of course, Thome hit many out there. Tosoni hit at least two out there too.

    Mijares, like JC Romero, had some very good seasons with the Twins. For the Giants to go far in the playoffs, it is all dependent upon Tim Lincecum.
  7. Seth Stohs
    127-115 isn't much of a different (
  8. Seth Stohs
    Strange statement... They will spend the $2.9million. It's not like there was a date that passed already or something.
  9. Seth Stohs
    20% more than 162 would put him just north of 200 innings. My guess is that once he gets to 200, they'll shut him down, or at least move him to the bullpen and be quite cautious.

    What's on Second. I don't know's on Third.

    Craig Malveaux wrote a really good article on the Twins Cole De Vries who contemplated retirement several times throughout his minor league career. http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/165665686.html?refer=y
  13. Seth Stohs
    I believe that is correct!
  14. Seth Stohs
    That might be some lofty and probably a little unrealistic expectations... I wouldn't 'expect' more than 600 HR for Rosario in his big league career!
  15. Seth Stohs
    Yeah, I couldn't find the $ amount on Guyer. They may be up to $2.9 already.
  16. Seth Stohs
    Teams can spend up to $2.9 million. They can also sign up to 6 guys at $50,000 that don't count under the $2.9 million. So, where are the Twins at: Minier - $1.4 Million Thorpe - $0.5 Million Hu - $0.22 Million That's $2.12 Million, and I'm sure i'm missing some.

    #Access!

    This has been the plan all along, and it's amazing they have been able to stick to it. To this point, no setbacks. Hopefully that continues.
  19. Seth Stohs
    Great point! Those two games definitely affect that 'run support' average.
  20. Seth Stohs
    18 year old RH. sits upper 80s, but he's been clocked as high as 94. Terrific changeup. Good control. The Twins have done really well in Taiwan the last couple of years. Hung-yi Chen and Kuo-Hua Lo both have shown a lot in the GCL. Obviously a long way to go, but these are good, live arms!
  21. Seth Stohs
    I can see Sano and/or Rosario playing in FM and NB next year. Obviously they would have to play well in the first half to move up in the second half. Both could, and frankly, they wouldn't be lesser prospects if they spent the whole 2013 season in FM. Defensively, I think they both did OK when I watched. Clearly more room for improvement, for sure, but I thought that, especially Sano, looked much better than two months ago. I saw enough to keep them there longer.
  22. Seth Stohs
    I watched four Snappers games in Beloit last weekend. So yes, it's a small sample size. However, I definitely did not see pitchers trying to pitch around Sano. They were throwing him strikes. I think he walked once in those games and it was a long at bat. He saw quite a few curveball/sliders. He was generally able to lay off those down and away, and he just missed some in the strike zone. I think having Rosario in front of him, and especially having Vargas behind him should help as well. Sano is where he should be.
  23. Seth Stohs
    I think it's dumb... It's not like he was hitting or fielding great at AA. That said, the O's are a horrible baseball team that somehow finds itself still competing in the AL East... or at least for a wild card.
  24. Seth Stohs
    That'll always be an issue until it's done... But again, there are other Dominicans on these other teams to help.
