  1. We traded for Banda, unless your saying he was DFA'd prior to his stint with the Dodgers.
  2. If I had to pick a trio of hitters on a Twins minor league team who have really had a great, and a little surprising, somewhat unexpected season so far, I'm picking Houston, McDaniel and Mercedes. Nice job guys.
  3. Certainly true but the posters first point was that it was all Keaschall's fault that the game wasn't tied. And that really wasn't the case. You could fault Caratini and the catchers interference with 2 outs and, I believe, 2 strikes on the batter. That essentially lost Ober's best chance to get through the inning and may have moved the bullpen usage up more, forcing us to use Klein. But this is certainly speculative as maybe Ober doesn't get out of the 5th anyway.
  4. Not according to the Twins radio announcers. They said there was a 10 minute window where the sun was terrible in that area (stadium not blocking it).
  5. This made zero difference in the game. He scored on a walk by the next batter.
  6. The Twins wouldn't have had to invest $ in the bullpen if they just kept Varland. With a closer, this crew in the pen appears like they could handle the other innings (can't believe I'm saying that). But if Rojas turns into a stud starter, I was wrong about the trade.
  7. When is Soto coming back? For that matter, what about Jenkins and other injury return projections?
  8. Winokur having a great month after an ice cold start. If he can hit all the way up, he's a Twin some day.
  9. I would give Shelton a B. The Twins have done better than I expected except for Wallner and Lewis especially. But that's just it, Baldelli wasn't given the luxury of low expectations the past few years. Maybe we just overrated the Twins roster as many former Twins seem to be performing poorly with their new teams. Good job Derek Shelton.
  10. With his fragile thumbs, outlaw sliding into a base head first. We can always reverse that at some time with the Twins.
  11. The pitchers are happy when they see Buxton in CF, Kreidler at SS and Lee at 3B, rather than Martin in CF, Lee at SS and Lewis at 3B.
  12. Jeffers injury occurred early enough that his trade value should be very close to what it was before his injury. Plenty of teams need a good catcher.
  13. Mendez is adding some power to his game. Only starting 1 game at 1B this year seems to say that isn't his position. That's a bummer as that is where the Twins need help next year.
  14. At least they called him up on a hot streak. He was ice cold to start the year.
  15. Can someone tell me how good or bad Fedko's defense is? If it's good, I really don't understand him not getting a shot with the Twins. If it's not so good, much more understandable. The offense has been steady for awhile at AAA, though we do know that the International League (correction) is a hitters league, and doesn't always convert to MLB.
  16. Wallner had better hurry. When Rodriguez and Jenkins get healthy and ready to go, he's competing against them for who comes up to the Twins, and his D is a big loss right from the start compared to either of those guys.
  17. Spain is in the wrong organization. An older LH hitting OF in AA with Rodriguez, Jenkins, Roden and Mendez ahead of him in AAA. Good luck!
  18. Have you seen his hitting #'s with guys in scoring position this year. It's Wallner-like.
  19. Very surprised to see the Twins organization leading all of baseball in HR's by a large margin, though I did know that Wichita is leading all of AA.
