    "Expect at least one 2022 draft pick to be promoted to Cedar Rapids on Tuesday." Now, there is a tease! Has to be Prielipp, right? Do they even have a spot for Schobel with Lee already there.............unless it's musical chairs with Julien going to AAA and Martin playing OF at AA, with Javier going to AA to play the infield.
  2. FlyingFinn
    My guess is that this was his bullpen throwing day (didn't actually look when he started this week) between starts and they decided to just throw him in for an inning of relief instead. Seems to happen with a few guys in the minors on Sundays, possibly because of the Monday off day and how the rotation falls the next week.
  3. FlyingFinn
    I'm not ready for Julien to be promoted to the majors but I AM ready for him to go to St. Paul. What does he have left to prove in Wichita?
  4. FlyingFinn
    We have an Austin Martin sighting! Rehab assignment for FCL Twins.

    Very good night of pitching for our minor league teams led by Varland. Sisk keeps doing real well. If both were on the 40 man, would he actually be ahead of Moran, whose ERA is over 5.00 with St. Paul? The Twins are short on LH starters. Headrick seems to have adjusted well to AA. I'm thinking the Twins have to add him to the 40 man or lose him in the Rule 5 draft. Bentley looking good in relief. Gore, not so much. Nice story on his conversion to pitcher but he may not be around after this year. Prato has been really hitting this month. Festa did well to not allow any runs with 6 base runners in 3 innings. McMahon, wow, he has been dominating in the pen. I don't know anything about him.
  6. FlyingFinn
    And Severino over the last month plus.
  7. FlyingFinn
    Wow, Sabato gets moved up to Wichita. Let's see what you got big guy. Holland goes up with him.
  8. FlyingFinn
    Wow, they must like Varland better this year than Sands last year (unless, in hindsight, they think they should have given Sands this experience last year).
  9. FlyingFinn
    Is Martin ever coming back this year (not that I want us to put him back at SS)?
  10. FlyingFinn
    I am guessing the Twins will be very cautious with his coming off surgery. May not even see him in a game this year - me totally guessing.
  11. FlyingFinn
    The only ones that didn't sign were our 19th and 20th round picks.
  12. FlyingFinn
    I think the Twins also want to keep playing both Miller and Lee at SS full-time rather than them splitting time or one not playing SS at all. Miller is really young and struggling a little with the bat (but almost everyone does in that league). Does this say anything about the Twins belief in Miller? I say probably not, yet.
  13. FlyingFinn
    Noticed that. But the guys that got traded for them are looking good as well.
  14. FlyingFinn
    He's been pitching poorly of late. ERA is up to 4.71. SO/BB ratio still isn't bad though.
  15. FlyingFinn
    At age 30, you look for best opportunity to get another chance in the show. He correctly sees that an injury or two to starters on the Twins gives him a prime chance to be called up again. Cotton, also age 30, goes through the same thing.
  16. FlyingFinn
    Moran is actually on the active roster and pitched on Friday night for the Saints. It will be Archer, Sands and Pagan today. If the game is tied or you have a close lead, you go to others. But I don't think there is any way we see Duran, Jax or Lopez. Still, I wouldn't have let Bundy go out there for the 5th and liked the bullpen usage yesterday to go for the win when you have the chance.
  17. FlyingFinn
    Pagan was warming up. Did we really want him to come in and give up 3 base runners and then Lopez to give up one mistake pitch for a homer? Imagine the comments then. Take the wins when we can get them and be happy.
  18. FlyingFinn
    Urbina, Severino and Helmin continue their one month or so streak of hitting well but Palacios is simply on fire! 2 more homers tonight. What has gotten into him! Nice pitching from the top three levels - Enlow seems to be getting a little streak of good outings going.
  19. FlyingFinn
    No, Palacios is really playing well at AAA and is a great fielder. He would be used until Lewis returns. And maybe beyond that if he plays well with Lewis also playing SS and OF.
  20. FlyingFinn
    Agreed. If you are the Twins or a border line hitter, wouldn't you practice bunting for a half hour every day. MLB players are so bad at it now that a border line player could get the last roster spot just because they are a great bunter.
  21. FlyingFinn
    Gordon, Jax and maybe a little bit of Cave are the surprises for me. That's why I'm not a GM. Love the hustle from guys, forcing the defense to make errors.
  22. FlyingFinn
    If Kepler, Larnach, Jeffers and Ober got healthy (without others getting hurt), St. Paul could look like a good team. As it is, they are playing well. Some very good pitching performances to go along with a lot of runs scored tonight. Derek Rodriguez, SWR, Headrick, Mullenbach, Hanner, Lavallee and Rimmel all go multiple innings and don't allow a run. Maybe we have some pitching left in the minors. Brent Rooker continues to be one of the all-time best AAA players, no matter what organization he is in.
  23. FlyingFinn
    I believe we are talking about guys who may come back yet. Maeda is #1 in my book. Alcala doesn't count as he is done for the year. Jeffers is better than Sanchez. Once Sanchez started catching every day, his batting tanked.
  24. FlyingFinn
    Is Varland better than Sands was last year in AA? I just think it takes these guys a year or so at AAA before they are really ready for MLB, and of course some don't make it. The Canterino's of the world, with better stuff, can make the jump more quickly IF they could just stay healthy.
  25. FlyingFinn
    Indeed, Perez is adding to his frequent flyer miles and going to Cedar Rapids today. Severino moved up to Wichita as well!
