  1. Law also was asked in a chat how the top prospects this year compared to past years; he said Lackey was better than the top picks from the last two drafts.
  2. From Keith Law’s mock draft on June 10 (he will do two updates before draft day): White Sox: Projects Vahn Lackey. “I had the White Sox with Grady Emerson in my first mock draft, and mentioned Jacob Lombard as well. In this case, nothing has actually changed — I believe their mix still includes those two, and, yes, Roch Cholowsky. It has just sounded a little more like they’re leaning towards Lackey in the last week or so.” Rays: Projects Tyler Bell. “Heard this one a few times in the past several days, and since Tampa Bay took Bell out of high school, it’s plausible that they’d still view him in a similar light now that he’s raked for two years in college — this year with a bum shoulder, too. I believe they’d also consider Roch Cholowsky and Vahn Lackey.” I hope the Twins get Cholowsky, but it’s not a slam dunk between him or Lackey as the best player in the draft. Plus unexpected stuff happens in the MLB draft all the time. In short, I think it’s way more than a pipe dream for them to have Cholowsky fall to them.
  3. I remember listening to that game on the radio, and getting a sinking feeling that “surely they can’t lose this, right?”
  4. Anyone else thinking Ryan was “sick” today because he wanted to go up against Shohei?
  5. Ok, so the Twins should offer him a 4/50 extension. My point is the Twins should keep this guy. He’s excellent and can be a middle of the order part of the next winning team, possibly even later this year.
  6. Shelton emphasized Monday’s MRI is precautionary. “The imaging is just to see where we're at,” he said. “Everybody wants to go initially to the imaging is, ’Oh my god, something's catastrophically wrong.’ It's just that if he's not recovering like he should be, then we need to diagnostically use everything at our advantage to take a look at it. “I think until we get the MRI back, then that's when we can have that conversation.” Translation: Something is catastrophically wrong.
  7. The report during last night’s game was “setback” and “sent back to MN for an MRI.” Why aren’t the Twins able to have nice things?
  8. Two years, $28mm plus an option year for $15mm. He’s been a great part of this team and I would love to see him stay as a part of it. As others have said, would also help them make a run this year. Also, Tom Pohlad has been interacting with reporters a lot this year. They should be asking him every chance they get about extending Jeffers and Ryan.
  9. Strongly disagree. Bullpen arms don’t cost too much at the trade deadline. Getting two guys would help the team on the field, team morale, and also back up the talk from Tom Pohlad. Trading Ryan and Jeffers would send exactly the wrong message. This team is hovering around contention, is getting healthier and has several promising prospects on the verge of getting the call. I’d argue it would malpractice not to make some moves to try to shore up the most glaring weakness, the bullpen. Especially during Buxton’s best year, the most loyal (and best) Twin they’ve had since Mauer.
  10. If he stays healthy all year, he has a legit chance. I’m on the late Adrian Beltre career run to the Hall-of-Fame bandwagon for Buck, personally. He also has 37 consecutive stolen bases, 13 from the all time record, held by Vince Coleman. (AL record is 45.)
  11. Batting Caratini for the only guy in the lineup with two hits.
  12. Kreidler at CF and Arcia at SS…both higher OPS than Buck. Looking forward to see what Jackson can do at the plate today…my pick to click, (Edit to add, over the last two years, Jackson is getting XBH in 9% of his PA, 13% vs LHP. Last year (sss) OPS over the 1000 vs LHP.)
  13. I went to the Nats/Twins game the other week (the one win in DC) and some Nats fans sitting near me expressed a high degree of incredulity that Bell got $7mm.
  14. Good for Zebby. Limit the long ball. SWR to the pen or DFA.
  15. 1) Kody Clemens nailed Grady Sizemore in the foot with a foul ball and 2) Pup at the Park night.
  16. Minor quibble, the Twins aren’t in the middle of a four-game losing streak. They were at the tail end of a four-game losing streak, and now they are at the start of a winning streak of undetermined length.
  17. Twins are 1/2 game behind Cleveland for the best record in the AL. Also, the Twins have play 9.87654321% of the season. Lastly, Tristan Gray on pace for 111 RBI
  18. Can you name the four aforementioned Twins? Liam Hendriks must be kicking himself.
  19. Tomorrow vs Patrick Corbin, pretty much the worst pitcher in baseball. How does he keep getting contracts. Also SWR with Toronto lineage…
