    Thanks for your accomplishments and efforts Mr. Duffey. You pitched many good innings for the Twins and always gave your best. Better yet, you are a great person.

    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.

    Indeed, Perez is adding to his frequent flyer miles and going to Cedar Rapids today. Severino moved up to Wichita as well!
  4. FlyingFinn
    Helman - how does he compare to Nick Gordon? Same speed? They seem to play the same positions with what seems like the same level of effectiveness. Gordon with a big advantage in that he is already playing in the majors. Helman would provide tons more flexibility with max options left. Every time I count Gordon out after an 0 for 15, he gets 4 or 5 hits in two nights.

    He still scares me. Doing better as he doesn't let the runners score when they load the bases, but there are still runners out there against him. Baby steps.
  6. FlyingFinn
    Agreed. Mikey Perez, probably temporarily to cover for Steer, is up with the Saints right now. Rucker's #'s surprised me. I didn't know he was doing this well at high A. Severino is really hitting now!
  7. FlyingFinn
    This was the plan. Sanchez was going to be DFA'd even if he threw a no-hitter. That's why Smeltzer wasn't the one called up. Don't waste the option on him.
  8. FlyingFinn
    With Miranda looking like the real deal, I think that opens up dealing CES. Hajjar is the one that concerns me but he is a long ways away from the majors. We got rid of both of our lefty starting pitchers from the 2021 draft.
  9. FlyingFinn
    I don't believe CES or Hajjar were Rule 5 eligible so this actually doesn't do anything for the 40 man roster (Mahle in replace of Steer) for this winter.
  10. FlyingFinn
    Mahle
  11. FlyingFinn
    No, Sano's contract is done after this year. Hosmer's anchor of a contract continues for a couple years.
  12. FlyingFinn
    Also one major league player yet to be named going to Washington.
  13. FlyingFinn
    Covid related. Didn't count as using up an option.
  14. FlyingFinn
    Sabato is the minor league version of Miguel Sano's prior years. Start out dreadfully slow and then get hot in the middle of summer. Last year was the same thing for Sabato. Urbina and Severino continue their recent hot streaks. Twins radio announcers said SWR's IL stint was Covid. I'm always reading things into the box scores, usually wrong, but ECS gets taken out of the game for a pinch runner. Injury or is he getting traded..............or just strategy I haven't seen used with him before?
  15. FlyingFinn
    Any news on Kirilloff's wrist?
  16. FlyingFinn
    Most guys seem to struggle for a while when they get moved up. Adams moved up and gets blasted. Headrick pitched well tonight but was hit hard in his first game. Gipson-Long, same thing. The bats are no different - Wallner off to a slow start the Saints. Being called up to the Twins can result in the same thing - Miranda, Kirilloff, Larnach all struggled (though Larnach had a short spurt of success first). ECS and Steer seem to be the exceptions to struggling when moving up. Makes me wonder if the Twins have to be patient with guys like Cano and Moran. Tough to let them fail too much though with the playoff hopes we have.
  17. FlyingFinn
    Someone in TD was asking for more power to make Palacios a MLB SS. He answered with a couple homers tonight. Varland with another decent game and Balazovic with another clunker. Both are consistent this year.
  18. FlyingFinn
    I haven't looked but I'm pretty sure Cedar Rapids does.
  19. FlyingFinn
    Austin Martin - he seems to have missed most of July. How bad is that thumb injury and when did it happen (how long was he playing with the injury)?
  20. FlyingFinn
    Agreed! Urbina and Severino continue to play well. Gipson-Long had a rough 1st inning but then dominated. Hope he's adjusting to moving up one level. CES not only hits but, if I remember correctly, he seems to do well in clutch situations and not just when the game is out of hand and the other team brings in a mop-up pitcher.
  21. FlyingFinn
    SKOR North’s Darren Wolfson speculates that the Twins would be one of many interested parties if the Giants did shop Rodon, as Minnesota “were right there” in trying to sign Rodon last winter. (From mlbtraderumors.com)
  22. FlyingFinn
    The Saints just don't seem to be able to supply the Twins with any more effective relief pitchers. We don't seem to like Ian Hamilton. Schulfer is talked about but he got hit pretty hard last night. Wichita and Fort Myers had almost no offense, Urbina supplying most of the hits in the Mussels double header. Carr looked great but the bullpen was terrible. Cedar Rapids just keeps rolling. Get a bad start and it doesn't matter. The bats take care of that deficit. Severino having a great week so far.
  23. FlyingFinn
    Short but nice returns from the IL for Enlow and SWR. CES just hits, at every level. Great game from Severino as well. Should be a lot of changes to these rosters in August - trades, moves to cover holes from trades, and maybe some draft picks being assigned but it seems the Twins really ease these players in slowly.
  24. FlyingFinn
    Wow, the Draft Tracker now shows that we signed everyone through Round 18!
  25. FlyingFinn
    Like Kirilloff and Miranda have been playing lately............
