    I've watched Raya and Varland pitch at Cedar Rapids - Petty is in good company. Good article. Nice to have good pitching prospects throughout the system.
  2. Monkeypaws
    How can you not root for this guy?
  3. Monkeypaws
    His athletic build is mentioned: what is it exactly? Size and age would be a good fundamental for these-write ups, along with last season's numbers.
  4. Monkeypaws
    Do we have any evidence, quotes, etc. that indicate Donaldson's (dis)satisfaction with the Twins?
  5. Monkeypaws
    Steve Carlton and Dave Hollins, the latter of whom was dealt for young David Arias, who just made the Hall of Fame. Can't unremember Vance Worley's glasses

    The Twins did this last year, a guy who ranks 13th all-time on dWAR per Baseball Reference, and he was criticized heavily for his lack of offensive output. 2.4 dWAR ain't good enough for some at a key defensive position.

    I'd call it a tie. Yes, Kirby got the rings, but Rod got the batting titles. They were both best at their position for a long time. But Kirby never had to play for Calvin Griffith. Kirby was the first guy to break the 3 million a year barrier. He was valued by management, and had a better team to play with than Rod. Rod got traded because Griffith wouldn't pay him, and the guy would be an All-Star the next 6 seasons in Anaheim. Pohlads were cheap, but not Calvin Griffith penny-pinching cheap. They went out an got a Blyleven, or a Morris, and put their teams over the hump. Calvin would shed stars once they became too pricey, replace them with our favorite user name, Hosken Bombo Disco, although Disco was really Willie Norwood. Hell, he even dumped Killebrew. Impossible to compare really.

    Wasn't Greene also a candidate to do the pitch and hit thing a la Ohtani? Might explain his lofty status.
  9. Monkeypaws
    Wowza the movement on that slider is unreal - that'll be tough to lay off when you're facing upper 90s heat, likewise the changeup.
  10. Monkeypaws
    Looks like an interesting crop. Anderson Nova and Juan Zapata are MLB-ready in the name department.
  11. Monkeypaws
    Perhaps Falvine feel the same way - their inactivity in the free-agent market might be an indicator.
  12. Monkeypaws
    In familial discussions, we also have our own Nick Gordon to consider. Father and brother did well, and doggone Nick has shown signs of promise. That said, I have an entirely different skill set from my Dad and my bothers. Mom's genes enter the conversation at some point.
  13. Monkeypaws
    Brothers of stars always make me think of Ozzie Canseco, or Keith Gretzky. Perhaps Bryan will fare better.
  14. Monkeypaws
    Old, or past prime - Rogers may bounce back, but the other 3 are past their "best by" date. Doesn't mean they might still contribute, but, ahh, you know what I mean. Not pieces to build around.
  15. Monkeypaws
    Aren't we forgetting Kepler?
  16. Monkeypaws
    How would you grade them using the lil kids grading scale of E-Excellent, S-Satisfactory, NI-Needs Improvement?
  17. Monkeypaws
    Rodon has 29 other options out there. What draws him to Minnesota, divisional rival and all?
  18. Monkeypaws
    What would be Rodon's reason to pitch for the Twins?
  19. Monkeypaws
    I'm just happy to see Enlow on the list. I'm a believer.
  20. Monkeypaws
    Alternative headline: "Should Syndergaard or Rodon Gamble on the Twins?"
  21. Monkeypaws
    Thanks Andrew - prospect junkie here. Almost rather have a great system than MLB squad: almost ?
  22. Monkeypaws
    Thank you Andrew - this is the type of content I love.
  23. Monkeypaws
    Or Kyle Bearclaws.
  24. Monkeypaws
    To me the most painful experience was getting a beautiful day in May, spring fever in full-force, and having tickets to a day game inside.
  25. Monkeypaws
    Nice read Nick - Gordon is summarily dismissed as a stop gap at short until Lewis is ready. Why? He is athletic and has plenty of experience there. Thanks
