    Baggage? The Twins low minor hitting talent is not very good right now.
  2. bluechipper
    Have the Twins heated up the Target Field gun in the last few weeks? Ryan Pressly has hit 98 several times and Ervin Santana hit 96 a few times last night.
  3. bluechipper
    I hope they try to convert him back to starting.
  4. bluechipper
    So basically Buxton and Kepler? Having 2 good outfielders in the system is what you're worried about? Kiriloff is going to be in the minor leagues for at least 4 years anyways. Take the BPA.
  5. bluechipper
    Great news. I hope he takes the opportunity and runs with it, never pitching in the minor leagues again.
  6. bluechipper
    Maybe he needs more AAA AB's, but when he's on the MLB roster, he should be in the lineup almost every day.
  7. bluechipper
    This had better not be the case. I think the Twins realize that Kepler has faced an unusually high number of lefties so far when he's gotten a chance to start.
  8. bluechipper
    I reminded him of that 2 weeks ago. He's got an .896 OPS since then.
  9. bluechipper
    At the expense of Max Kepler though, so not a good trade-off.
  10. bluechipper
    Apparently he's not a SS though. If the Twins thought he was, then I would assume he would play the position in AAA. 2B is basically an offensive position now too.
  11. bluechipper
    I hope Justin gets a chance to play a lot at 1B/DH eventually this season. And yeah, Mat Latos looks done.
  12. bluechipper
    I think the fact that Chapman has some of the best stuff of all time has something to do with it too, and he could be had for basically nothing in a trade. By the way, I wasn't one that was really in favor of trying to get him.
  13. bluechipper
    It has to be loyalty and giving the veteran the benefit of the doubt. Look at the Nationals, they're in a tight competition for the division and they're playing Danny Espinosa and his .637 OPS instead of giving Trea Turner an extended shot.
  14. bluechipper
    Randy Rosario is at 5.3 K/9 right now. A left hander who throws mid 90's... What's that all about?
  15. bluechipper
    In defense of Max Kepler's rough start at the plate so far, I think it should be noted that he has faced an unusually high number of left handed pitchers this year. He's got 20 PA against right handers and 19 PA against lefties. If he gets the start tonight, it'll be another lefty in Chen.
  16. bluechipper
    Well hopefully there's 2 of those players. The Braves are going to be tough competition for that top spot.
  17. bluechipper
    That's usually how young players first get playing time. Eddie Rosario was an injury replacement last year, and since he played well, he stayed. Hopefully we see Buxton and Kepler show that they deserve to stay up the rest of the year this year too.
  18. bluechipper
    Why the questioning of Grossman hitting second? He's got a .435 avg against left handed pitching so far.
  19. bluechipper
    I know you weren't replying to my post, but I was looking at the comparison between Granite and Harrison, and Harrison only has a .720 OPS as a corner outfielder. That selection makes no sense to me.
  20. bluechipper
    There doesn't seem to be much talent in the Southern League this year, especially on the hitting side. Looking through the leaderboards, there only appears to be a handful of upper level pitching prospects too.
  21. bluechipper
    Is there any reason why Zach Granite didn't make the team? He's been much better than Travis Harrison.
  22. bluechipper
    But Garver has a .708 OPS this year and a .688 OPS last year, and he's a little on the older side for prospects. It's hard to have big expectations for him to maintain that or improve on those numbers when facing MLB pitching. Garver looks like he could be a nice improvement over the current Twins catchers, but still probably below average compared to the rest of the league. A solid backup catcher/fringe starter would be my projection, and I agree that this seems worthy of a top 25 ranking on this list.
  23. bluechipper
    I thought Wong had put up better MLB numbers prior to this year, but they're actually not that great. He had good minor league numbers, but it seems like a bit of a risky sign for the Cards to guarantee $25M to a guy that was coming off a .707 OPS in 2015.
  24. bluechipper
    I did not know Williams Ramirez was already 23 years old. Did he sign as an older player, or did the Twins just wait a long time to bring him onto a full season team?
  25. bluechipper
    Well Suzuki is a no hit/no glove guy, so Garver and maybe Turner would seem to be a nice upgrade.
