    LaTroy just didn't want to pick up the phone. That phone ringing is very distressing to LaTroy Hawkins at the moment! Morris did get the call!

    Alright Twins, hold onto that rubber! We don't need any unauthorized runs coming across!

    I guess it depends on what or who you want to believe. If you believe the report from Dan Hayes as pointed out in the TD article, they kept KC down to fine tune his defense. He did make a start at 3rd yesterday, which he has only done 7 times in total since starting in AAA. If the organization wants him to be flexible in the infield, it makes sense to keep him down a little more to get some defensive work at 3rd or 2nd as well as SS prior to calling him up.

    The History Channel used to have a series called the Nostradamus Effect. I propose that Buxton suffers from the Wallner Effect. Inability to hit home runs with runners on base.

    Caratini made sure that my future comment was not even going to hold up before I typed it! I was going to suggest that they leave Caratini on the bench when he is not catching because he has been struggling at the plate and we do not need another hole in the lineup at 1st base.

    The Angels. Give you an idea how bad it is. They still have Topa and Sands as our 'closers' by committee.

    You just need to sell it better. Sell it like you're adapting Twins Daily to the way that the Twins are treating pitchers in their farm system. Since they are piggybacking starters, everyone is essentially a reliever!

    Big update for today's game. The Astros have moved ahead of the Twins in bullpen ERA. The Astros are now 28th and the Twins are 29th. All the Astros needed was to face the vaunted Twins lineup in order to better their lot for the season.

    The only thing they are murdering is a bag of Krispy Kreme's.

    Scary part about that promotion is that we got to see all the people in the stands.
  11. Western SD Fan
    I also thought there was an Astros hitter who did the same thing last year as well, but for the life of me cannot remember who it was.

    I'm not sure it's sending a message as it is just to reset. If they went all the way down to Fort Myers, they could be away from the media and spend 2-3 weeks down there and then work their way back up after they spend time working on their swing, clearing their head, and maybe for Lewis, working on expanding his fielding to 1st base. The great part about having the AAA club in St. Paul is that you can quickly call up players or get pitching help. The detriment is that the AAA club is still in the media market as the major league club so there will be reports (probably including here) on how good or bad Lewis and Wallner are doing in St. Paul and whether they are finished as a player in the organization. This was one of the messages that Plouffe wanted to get across today when the news dropped.

    I tend to agree. He should just play one position if he is going to get called up and be effective at one position so he can concentrate on his defense and batting. Especially if, as an organization, you believe he is the next wave of difference-making prospects. I'm just reporting what I see and surmising what it may mean.

    BREAKING: Watching the Saints game and Culpepper just got hit on his left hand/wrist and is currently staying in the game. Hopefully this is just a bruise and not anything more serious.
  15. Western SD Fan
    Culpepper is playing 3B today for the Saints. Giving him a look at multiple positions is possibly the final step prior to a call up the majors so he can constantly get playing time while riding whichever hot hand of Arcia, Lee, or Gray in the lineup. According to the MiLB page, he has previously only played 12 games at the hot corner so a little extra seasoning wouldn't hurt. As for who you choose? You'll have to choose one of them to at least hold the place until Houston is ready since he is currently the best SS in the organization.

    Just got a recap of all of the corresponding moves made today: Lewis optioned to St. Paul. Topa DFA'd off of the roster. Jeffers put on the IL with a hamate bone fracture. Acton put on the 60-Day IL Jackson being called up to replace Jeffers. Arcia called up to replace Lewis. Adams being recalled taking Topa's spot. Analyis: Bowman looking more likely to just be released from minor league contract. Still holding out on Buxton to see if he will come back or will IL him prior to going to Boston.
  17. Western SD Fan
    Rumor from the Skor North Twins Show is that Jeffers suffered from a fractured hamate bone. Jackson will be called up today. More 40-man moves coming.
  18. Western SD Fan
    This was the sweet spot I was looking for! Just bad enough that they had to DFA him, which they did, but not bad enough to cost us the game!
  19. Western SD Fan
    Not really. Orze definitely deserved the win. He likely rescued the game from disaster.
  20. Western SD Fan
    It is the Twins vs Astros bullpen. Twins are #28 and the Astros are #29.
  21. Western SD Fan
    We need Topa to get mildly creamed. Like give up 2 to 3 runs creamed so we can still win the game.
  22. Western SD Fan
    Did Topa go visit the Greek life at U of M during the rain delay? He's pitching like he drank an entire kegger.
  23. Western SD Fan
    We could use a long fly ball from Bell. Leaving the park not necessary.
  24. Western SD Fan
    I probably would be easy with Alvarez. Don't need to give up anything to him. But you have to get the next guys out.
  25. Western SD Fan
    With the lengthy delay, we will now have to see how long Sim will go. Prior to the rain delay, I would have guessed he would piggyback off of Rojas and try get through the 7th.
