    Congrats to Cedar Rapids. Kind of amazing with seemingly half of the lineup hitting near the Mendoza line. They are top 3 in the league in ERA but, amazingly to me, they are also in the top half of most of the offensive stats as well. Zebby Matthews bounces back from a bad game and pitches great. I'm beginning to think their manager, Brian Dinkelman, is really good. His teams win every year.

    With approval of the MLB Commissioner, a player on a minor league Domestic Reserve List can be placed on the Development List if the player is at the parent organization's Minor League Spring Training Complex or at a club-approved training facility for the purpose(s) of development and/or conditioning. NOTE: As part of his development and/or conditioning, a player on the Development List can remain with his minor league club and take batting practice, fielding practice, throw bullpen side sessions, and/or serve as a bullpen catcher, batting practice pitcher, or base coach.

    Rosario is amazing this year. Clubbed a two run homer early. Then, the other teams pitchers got scared of him, walking him three times. When they start doing that, maybe it's time to move up one level.
  4. FlyingFinn
    They would find a spot for him and DFA him when the regular catchers are healthy and a spot is needed on the 40 man. They did that with Godoy and other veteran catchers last year.
  5. FlyingFinn
    I disagree because Wolters will simply be DFA'd when our catchers are healthy and probably get to go back to St. Paul. Camargo is playing well enough that the Twins may not want to DFA him as someone else may claim him. This is all about the 40 man roster. Camargo is better but is actually too good and young IMO. The odd reality of the roster games all teams have to play.
  6. FlyingFinn
    Agreed on Wolters. Camargo as a catcher, yes. Williams as a catcher, no. That is a big problem for him to get called up which is the same problem Isola has. If either was a good catcher, they would be on track for MLB.
  7. FlyingFinn
    Half the time. He is terribly inconsistent. One game is great and the next terrible and it keeps going like that, which is why his ERA is high.
  8. FlyingFinn
    He was out of the 5th inning with a double play grounder, giving up only 1 run. But the infield botched the double play, which would have ended the inning, and 3 runs score. Keep Varland in the rotation, let Maeda build up to enter the pen, and cut Pagan.
  9. FlyingFinn
    I believe he is eligible for the Rule 5 draft this winter and teams love to take pitchers in that (ex - Tyler Wells). Sounds like you are saying Grace is good so we have to put him on the 40 man or, IMO, he will get nabbed in the draft.
  10. FlyingFinn
    Rodriguez will be on the 40 man roster next year. No way they let him get away in the Rule 5 draft.

    2024 - Because of injuries, I don't see Polanco on the Twins. I think it will be Julien with Farmer taking AB's against lh's and replacing Julien on D late in games. Julien will have the same opportunity as Miranda had this year. If he doesn't get it done, one of Martin or Lee will probably be ready to overtake him at 2B. Having the oft injured Buxton doesn't give the Twins a chance to have another potentially oft injured player like Polanco (3 IL stints already this year) on the roster.

    Last nights game may be a little misleading. My assumption is that the opponent pitched their worst pitchers the last half of the game, after the game got out of control. Williams got 3 home runs in the first 4 innings. Celestino was 0 for 3 during those innings. All three hits came after that. Still good that he is hitting. I'm just thinking these guys were guys that aren't as good.
  13. FlyingFinn
    Runs galore from our teams last night and Rosario is really having a great season at Cedar Rapids.
  14. FlyingFinn
    Twins hitters are hot the last 4 games. Bux, take your time to heal so you can play CF as our DH's are producing.
  15. FlyingFinn
    Far better. He plays SS because that's where you get the most fielding attempts. Martin can play play 2B, LF and CF. When Martin is healthy, if he starts playing CF a lot, that will tell us a lot about Buxton. Buxton staying at DH can really help Martin's career.
  16. FlyingFinn
    Yes, kind of amazing with some of the hitting #'s from guys like Urbina, Salas and even Miller.
  17. FlyingFinn
    Wow, breaking news, Enlow going to St. Paul. I saw his stats today and was just going to type that it is time for him to move up. The Saints have more and more players that are fun to watch. Poor Wichita, a 23-33 record. Enlow is gone and how long before Severino, Lee and Kiersey move up..................... I don't think the replacements will be near as talented as them and the bottom half of that Wind Surge lineup is not doing well (might be a rough 2nd half for the Wind Surge fans in attendance). Sabato, the time is now for you to hit for this team!
  18. FlyingFinn
    The discussion was about Wichita and St. Paul and I think our prospects are hitting quite well - Wallner batting .300 with a .955 OPS, Julien .293 and .931 and Severino hitting .276 with a .888 OPS as a few examples. The biggest reason the Saints are winning is because they have tremendous hitting. led by some of our top prospects. Look at June or the past month and their numbers are even better. If you are talking about high A ball, Seth has mentioned that we have one of the youngest high A ball teams in baseball. Some are doing better than others. Emma Rodriguez below the Mendoza line but does have 7 homers while missing half the season.
  19. FlyingFinn
    2 HR's, 24 rbi's, .712 OPS compared to Farmer's 3 HR's, 14 rbi's, .668 OPS. Farmer has much more position flexibility (and missed time getting hit in the face). I'll take Farmer.
  20. FlyingFinn
    Tough day for a bunch of hitters who have been hot this week other than Wichita. Keirsey probably deserves to be a July call up (2nd full year at Wichita) to St. Paul but with Gallo and Buxton coming back for the Twins and Celestino rehabbing, that is going to be a full OF, not to mention Contreras out there.
  21. FlyingFinn
    He was free to sign with anyone this winter. I'm glad the Twins got him back. If Camargo keeps this up, I say he's on the 40 man roster this winter.
  22. FlyingFinn
    Yes! Raya went 4 innings and broke his 3 inning ceiling. Good innings as well but not as good as MacLeod. Certainly nice to see that. Our hot hitters are having a great week - Wallner, Miranda, Camargo, Keirsey, Lee, Severino and De Andrade. (some with only one hit today but it continues their hitting streak). Tough week to pick who is the best.
  23. FlyingFinn
    I believe the catcher never gave him a path to home before he received the ball so he would have been safe anyway.
  24. FlyingFinn
    Note - he is playing with the Saints.
  25. FlyingFinn
    The hot hitters in St. Paul and Wichita all stayed hot - Wallner, Miranda, Julien and Camargo in St. Paul and Kiersey, Lee and Severino in Wichita. For Camargo, I was surprised we got him back this past winter after he was a free agent. Not sure we will have the same luck if we do the same this winter (or if we bring him up to the Twins to cover an injury and then try to DFA him). Grace and Lewis moving up a level and still pitching great. Good to see.
