    For the most part, they don't play the same position (and the top 3 third basemen are Lewis, Miranda and Castro). Not sure either Farmer or Severino belong on the roster right now. The question is do we want Farmer or Martin? And do we want Severino or Miranda? Miranda is the easy answer. The Twins even brought up Diego Castillo over Severino and Severino was already on the 40 man roster. With all of this, I don't see Severino on the Twins this year.
  2. FlyingFinn
    No. Correa could be a Farmer replacement. Severino is very limited on defense. Miranda is really blocking him at this point. We have plenty of third basemen. Santana is playing well at 1B and therefore Miranda needs to play DH more often.
  3. FlyingFinn
    Headrick won't be the answer. Thielbar or Okert are just going to have to start pitching better.

    Great news about Jenkins and Olivar, both getting promoted. As for hitters who struggled last week - in St. Paul, Chris Williams went 1 for 17 after having a great week just the prior week. Camargo went 1 for 12 last week and Keirsey is 6 for 36 over the past couple weeks. For Wichita, our once promising catchers, Cardenas and Cossetti, continue to struggle, combining to go 3 for 27 last week. Nate Baez hitting in Cedar Rapids isn't any better as he is 2 for his last 22. And Jose Salas hitting struggles continue, 3 for 16 last week. I will be very interested to see if they pitch to Jenkins more in Cedar Rapids and, of course, how he does.

    He has an injury history - a lot of it but it is getting further and further in the past. I have zero problem with Rocco pulling him.
  6. FlyingFinn
    Just looking at the hitting side, if you take his pinch hitting #'s out, he is the hitter we wanted in the trade (but not the fielder).
  7. FlyingFinn
    The looking at strike three with two strikes almost seems like a Lester situation (pitcher who can't make a throw to first base), complete mental block at this point.
  8. FlyingFinn
    I see Dobnak as now the pitcher that could called upon for a spot start. Then he would be DFA'd, clear waivers (nobody is taking on his contract at this point), and be back in St. Paul.
  9. FlyingFinn
    Lots of great pitching in the top 3 levels for the Twins last night - Plutko, Raya, Morris, Bowen, Paredes, just to name the multiple inning guys. I agree with @Ghost of Kirby Puckett, I expect more greatness tonight with Matthews, Lewis, Prielipp and Soto. I'm betting Prielipp goes only 2 innings.
  10. FlyingFinn
    Severino, already on the 40 man roster, not getting a call up over Diego Castillo (who pinch hit, played in the DH and 3B spots) really casts doubt on what it would take for the Twins to call on him.
  11. FlyingFinn
    Great news! Yassar Mercedes just promoted to Fort Myers.
  12. FlyingFinn
    Draft signings - with Hill and Carpenter that much over slot, Culpepper has to be way under slot for the math to work out. Edit: Thanks for the correction everyone as I should have actually done the math. All the small number savings do cover these two overslots.
  13. FlyingFinn
    Certainly some good news - Varland pitches great and Lewis and Topa both on rehab assignments. Any word on Emma Rodriguez? He was on a rehab assignment and now there's no information about him.
  14. FlyingFinn
    Do you think he will get added to the 40 man this winter? I don't and we'll end up praying someone doesn't take him in the Rule 5 draft.
  15. FlyingFinn
    Very nice to see Prielipp make it through rehab. Please, can he just stay injury free. MacLeod earned his promotion as well. Great news!
  16. FlyingFinn
    Now that Diego Castillo has stayed up with the Twins for several days, I really question why Severino wasn't the player called up. He's been hot and has the better bat.
  17. FlyingFinn
    Listened to some of the Saints game. The catcher was challenging ball calls by the ump a number of times and getting them reversed to strikes for Zebby.
  18. FlyingFinn
    He will start right up into AAA as all highly regarded pitcher do. It's easy to control their innings, workouts, etc. this way. AA is the level you really learn how a player does against higher quality competition. Raya is still young though. It could simply be that his youth needs a year there to catch up to the competition. By the way, the pitch count had nothing to do with his struggles in the game. They started in the first couple innings.
  19. FlyingFinn
    How many times do we field a bunt that is going foul when we have no chance to get an out?
  20. FlyingFinn
    Listened to the Wichita game while working on the deck (because Raya was pitching). He was worse than the #'s show. Frequently went 3 balls and no strikes on batters. Quite unimpressed. Another thing I didn't realize, the announcers said with Emma Rodriguez injured the entire Wichita roster (batters) was right-handed until Deardon was called up.
  21. FlyingFinn
    Speaking of health, is Jenkins healthy? Are the Twins playing it ultra-conservative in having him DH so much or is there still lingering problems with the injury? If there are lingering problems, his #'s should get better when completely healthy.
  22. FlyingFinn
    Gonzalez is the only one I disagree with. His bat has to be great, even at this young age, as his defense and other tools aren't his calling card. At this point, I'm not seeing a great bat either.
  23. FlyingFinn
    Margot was supposed to be the backup CF. His defense out there loses games. Farmer was supposed to be the backup SS. Like Margot, he is about 4th in line if everyone is healthy. The real question is, if we pooled all this money and chose the right guy, would we be better off with that one guy plus our rookies - Martin, Lee, Keirsey? I will say that depth would have then been an issue.
  24. FlyingFinn
    We signed Kendle already - slot money of $411K. Signed for $150K.
  25. FlyingFinn
    Anyone else surprised that Castro played SS and Lee was at 2B? Lee played so much SS in the minors and Castro played an excellent 2B. But it worked great last weekend so I can't complain.
