  1. At least one person had the foresight to list Z. Jones and Baxendale in the top-20 of Twins prospects. This list was intended to be the MLB.com top-20 list. Not a perfect prediction, but passable.
  2. Jones is dealing at A+ this year, and still not on MLB's top-20 list. Neither is Baxendale. Whoever is running that page is not "on-top" of stuff.
  3. Yeah, its getting ridiculous with Sano and Buxton. They are not ready for MLB yet, but both are ready for AA right now. Just look at how long Harper "shined" in the Nats system. They were not f-ing around with him. Harper's minor league struggles probably helped him more than the Twins' coddling approach
  4. could someone PLEASE tell me why Zach Jones is not a top-20 twins prospect???????
  5. Does any other organization allow players to totally dominate at the lower levels for years and years?
  6. It is pretty amazing what we have cooking in the minors right now.
  7. How good does Buxton's production have to be, in order to move on to A+?
  8. How good does Sano's production have to be, in order to move on to AA?
  9. Sano thinks he can play for Minnesota this year.
  10. Parm is definitely NOT hitting
  11. Did you all read about Sano getting head-hunted?? IMO, Sano is not being properly challenged at the A+ level. Maybe he is there for defensive work, but it is risky to keep him down where others' jealousy could threaten his career. Not to mention, his performance is awesome enough to warrant a hasty promotion.
  12. Yes! Z. Jones is gonna move quick. Arcia is forcing a call-up, maybe soon with Parm not hitting. We will see. Sano can't catch, but he can hit! Force him up to AA quickly so he can DH next year and move Doumit out of our starting line-up to back-up Mauer (until Pinto is ready)
  13. This is pure evidence of a man that knows baseball right here.
  14. How could you have missed Jones?!
  15. Haha! Hey no link required, buddy.
  16. Wow, this is STILL relevant. Would much rather see these four guys than Vance Worley, Kevin Correia, and ? Pelfrey.
  17. Parm is probably going to stick at 1B for Minnesota. I think its more likely that Morneau and Willingham go the way of Span/Revere. Then MN is patient with Sano at 3B and Vargas will probably DH in 2 years from now
  18. Really? I always thought Oswaldo would be a lock in RF. Sano and Vargas could battle for DH, but we are all hoping Sano sticks at 3B, otherwise they are both 1B/DH's
  19. Thank you. I do not wish to "annoint" anyone as anything. But, I agree that Hicks could have a similar career to Hunter. Its a reasonable comparison, since they are both elite defenders and have seen their share of minor league struggles. Time will tell. Thank you for your research and opinion on Hicks. (somehow this thread got derailed from Oswaldo Arcia, but I am enjoying the discussion none the less)
  20. Wow. We have some really negative people on this site. Afraid to make mistakes. Afraid of embarrassment as a result of baseball predicitions?????? Anyway...I am not afraid to make mistakes, in baseball predictions or any part of my life. It feels "awesome," and I wish everyone could experience the same feeling. Go ahead "SABR's" or whatever you want to be called...and drop some extensive research on us so that we do not expect too much out of any given baseball prospect. God forbid we should ever be wrong about a baseball prospect and have minor league egg all over our face. joke
  21. After Hicks' 4-5 day with 3 bombs and 6 RBI...its hard not to get excited about his immense potential to become a MLB star. I understand this is "just Spring Training," but you don't just lace up the cleats and have that kind of day without serious talent. (no matter what type of pitching you're facing) Would anyone like to comment on the comparison between Aaron Hicks and Torii Hunter? This has been described to be "way off base" for some, but I see it as a reasonable comparison. Your thoughts?
  22. I am super optimistic about these two being able to move multiple levels in 2013. We will see.
  23. Nothing real special here...just some footage of Mauer from my seat at the Team USA vs. ChiSox exhibition game on March 5, 2013. He went 0-3 in the game: GIDP, K, F8 [video=youtube;8iIK5NzDm3w]

  25. Please do. I am all eyes.
