    The sad part is that the youngest guy you listed here is 23 years old (Burdi and Reed), and we're just hoping they're a part of the team by mid-2017/2018. I know injury has played a large part in that, but these guys need to be moved faster when healthy.
  2. bluechipper
    Same here. I hope Max Kepler is as much of a 3rd outfielder as Christian Yelich is.
  3. bluechipper
    Well Courtney Hawkins is hitting .211 with a .620 OPS in his second year at AA. He deserves to have something go right for him.
  4. bluechipper
    Pat Dean has a couple MPH on Albers, but Dean has horrible minor league K numbers, and Albers' minor league numbers are better pretty much across the board. I doubt Pat Dean is ever a regular starter in an MLB rotation.
  5. bluechipper
    Good, the least intriguing of the three options. What a surprise. O'Rourke has been good though, and he probably deserves it. I just want to see Pat Light pitch.
  6. bluechipper
    I don't think Taylor Rogers is a long reliever, despite him being a starter in the minors. I think he's a late inning guy when a couple left handed hitters are due up.
  7. bluechipper
    Isn't it a little funny how Andrew Albers and Pat Dean are basically the exact same pitcher? You can never have too many soft tossing lefties I guess. Edit: I just saw that Albers was DFA'd yesterday.

    Big news for the Wolves and their 16/17 schedule. They get a Christmas matchup with the OKC Thunder, there first ever Christmas game.
  9. bluechipper
    I would guess it's more of an innings limit, as he only threw 61.2 innings last year, and he's already up to 90.2 this year. He has some pretty low K numbers this year as a starter too, 6.1 K/9, so he might be better off in the bullpen.
  10. bluechipper
    I doubt it.
  11. bluechipper
    And the comparison of A-Roid chasing 700 to Jim Thome chasing 600 is not even close. I don't think any Twins fan would enjoy watching that.
  12. bluechipper
    Why do you hope he gets to 700? It's already an artificially inflated number anyway.
  13. bluechipper
    I just remember reading about his poor pitch framing numbers, and I don't think he was a great thrower either.
  14. bluechipper
    I think Kurt models his catching game after Ryan Doumit.
  15. bluechipper
    And another hit for Jorge Polanco.
  16. bluechipper
    Kennys is having himself quite the game.
  17. bluechipper
    And playing only one position while there.
  18. bluechipper
    I think Vargas is closer to having a good eye and good power. I wasn't the biggest Vargas fan after his first two stints, but the discipline and eye at the plate seems to have improved quite a bit this time around.
  19. bluechipper
    Jorge Polanco just keeps on hitting.
  20. bluechipper
    Or how do you have a 1.5 ERA or whatever in AAA, with good stuff, and then just be awful in the majors?
  21. bluechipper
    Pure dominance in the minors, and pure garbage in the majors. I think I've seen that before.
  22. bluechipper
    Even if ratings are down because the team is losing, how does it make more sense for them to put on shows that no one watches? There's got to be something I'm missing because I can't see a reason why every game for every team is not televised locally.
  23. bluechipper
    Turner's never going to hit, so he has to be near elite defensively in order to make an MLB team, and I'm sure he needs to still make improvements in his catching game too.
  24. bluechipper
    So Felix Jorge is down to a 3.86 K/9 in 37.1 innings at AA. I'm concerned, but hoping that more experience at the upper levels will lead to increased strikeouts. Overall, this has still been an encouraging season for him, and I would guess that he still projects as a potential back-end pitch-to-contact starter.
  25. bluechipper
    Stuart Turner is still a prospect and he needed to play too.
