    Urshela has 1 HR and 12 RBI's. As the previous poster said, if we wanted better defense, Farmer is the one. Farmer at 3B, Buxton in CF and Miranda at DH would make us better.
  2. FlyingFinn
    Buxton in CF would do it. Julien is not playing LF or 3B in St. Paul and I don't think he has played 1B. LF and 3B were tried in previous years and I believe the Twins decided his play there is unacceptable for the majors.
  3. FlyingFinn
    Agreed. the legal baseline is not a line between 2nd and 3rd base. It is a line from where you are at when Miranda catches the ball from Correa. And you can still go three feet to the left or right of this line. Ramirez didn't go 3 feet to the right of that line. Rocco you have this one wrong.

    Great game by Enlow. I would think he moves up to AAA at mid-season. Then, the Twins get to decide whether to again add him to the 40 man roster at the end of the year. Nowlin would have fit in the movie Bull Durham. He's got nasty stuff but sometimes has no clue where the ball is going. Loved the comment, 'He had a season low two walks today....................oh, but he plunked three batters.' Yikes, who wants to set your feet in the batters box against him.
  5. FlyingFinn
    Fangraphs lists him as Rule 5 eligible in Dec 2023.
  6. FlyingFinn
    Not exactly. The reason they traded him the time is coming to put him on the 40 man roster. That would be December 2023. It can be tough to take up a 40 man roster spot on a player who hasn't passed A ball.
  7. FlyingFinn
    Good game by Raya but great game by Ohl, the best of his short career.
  8. FlyingFinn
    The box score actually shows Rosario with 4 hits. Great night for him.
  9. FlyingFinn
    Balozovic pitched well before apparently tiring. Funderburk has started with a couple good games with the Saints. If Hildalgo can only walk one in 5 innings, we really have something here (Gio who?).
  10. FlyingFinn
    The Twins certainly treat him like 'organizational depth.' He's an older guy for Low A who is supposed to help out the young guys right now.
  11. FlyingFinn
    Balazovic is starting on Wednesday. Here I thought they moved him to relief. Very interesting to see how he does. Imagine he doesn't go more than 4 innings as they stretch him out.
  12. FlyingFinn
    Cavaco will be a whiff. It's easy to cherry pick someone who was drafted soon after him and, in hindsight, say the Twins should have known (if you posted pick Carroll instead of Cavaco at the time, you can post it all you want). I just don't agree with that. If the Twins hit on someone like Ober in the later rounds, it moves the whiff needle back to the middle IMO.
  13. FlyingFinn
    Best news is that Prielipp will resume throwing. Fajardo looking like a good Rule 5 pick. Cavaco just gets worse. His hitting is going backwards. In one game I listened to briefly, he got a double play ball but his throw pegged the runner in the back. Everyone safe. Just a matter of time before we give up on him.
  14. FlyingFinn
    Heard Cory Provus on the radio say that if Kirilloff spends less than 21 days in the minors, starting now after his rehab is over, he actually doesn't use up an option year. I hadn't heard that before. Not sure that makes a difference as once Kirilloff is up we should be expecting him to stay and hit well (and hope he doesn't get injured). If he doesn't, it would surprise me, but then you are at the point of not trusting he will ever make it.
  15. FlyingFinn
    How many MLB teams have great bullpens if you don't count their top 4 pitchers?
  16. FlyingFinn
    Rocco would have been torn to shreds on TD if he had done that. It's interesting that the tide has turned and now people are posting multiple times that Rocco is letting the starters go too long (Maeda earlier this year). A manager can never win on TD.
  17. FlyingFinn
    I noticed at least one other game at 2B. Seems like they have him there once per week or so.
  18. FlyingFinn
    Is Olivares hurt? Why would only go one inning? If it was the rain, just postpone him until another game. Lee, Severino and Festa have been the 3 Wind Surge players that I have thought could make the Twins some day. I like Kiersey and am thinking he has enough different tools to be the next one to have a chance. Would love to see him in St. Paul in the middle of the year. The late round pick, Paredes, continues to impress as he did last year.
  19. FlyingFinn
    Gallo makes Gordon expendable when Kirilloff and Farmer come back. Gordon's most important position at the moment is backup CF.
  20. FlyingFinn
    Agreed. Only other option is Balazovic but he has only been going 1 to 2 innings per game. Ober up next week for Maeda due to his injury and a stint on the IL (and hopefully a rehab assignment this time).
  21. FlyingFinn
  22. FlyingFinn
    Very good night for a lot of our top hitting prospects. And Helmin continues his scorching hitting that he had in his rehab assignment. If the Twins decide to part ways with Gordon, he may be the insurance if we suddenly have a bunch of injuries. Kyle Jones with his second great start in Cedar Rapids. Cossetti watch - 2 for 4 with 2 doubles.
  23. FlyingFinn
    DFA Stewart. Nobody will claim him and he can be back in St. Paul, waiting to do it again like a few guys last year (like Cotton). Maybe's he's not the #1 long man but I don't see him being on the Twins 40 man roster come the end of September. Are the Twins really going to have Headrick sit on the bench for two weeks if nobody has a short start or we are blowing out someone.
  24. FlyingFinn
    Correct. Stewart is the emergency long relief pitcher. This could start the train back and forth from St. Paul. Once Stewart pitches mop up for 4-5 innings in a game, he goes to St. Paul by being DFA'd. Then, Aaron Sanchez or someone similar gets added to the 40 man and does the same thing. Then Rodriguez etc. as we don't want Ober or Varland to be the ones that sit on the Twins bench for two weeks waiting for a short start.
  25. FlyingFinn
    Call Kirilloff up on Wednesday. Trade/release Gordon. Until Farmer returns, I believe (and I think the Twins agree) that Castro is a better backup SS. The Twins will max out Kirilloff's rehab unless someone gets hurt and....................... trade/release Gordon. In no way am I confident of this. But without Kirilloff, Gordon isn't playing much at all.
