Twins Minor League Report (9/3): Wichita Walks it Off
teufellove replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
It's early yet, and not that it matters all that much, but Jenkins will supplant Lee as the #1 prospect and it may not even be close. And that is not a knock on Lee.- 11 replies

I am not sure I get all the fuss over Larnach. He seems to be just another below league average left-handed bat that is useless against LHPs and marginally useful against RHPs. He may just a be a AAA+ type talent, but that could just be me. However, I don't think he's just a change of scenery away from being an everyday big leaguer.

The Twins Have a Hitting Development Problem
teufellove replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Development? Maybe. The overall decision making is suspect at the top. People wring their hands over the Arraez swap, which is ludicrous, given that there is value on both sides. The 2022 deadline swap that sent two bats that would bat in the middle of the current Twins lineup was either a gross miscalculation of the hitting talent in the Twins farm system, or, if the talent was properly assessed, horse trading Bill Smith-style. With the surplus of AAA 1.5 tool bats, the Twins chose two that would have saved the Twins from the debacle of batting, say, Kyle Farmer in the 4 hole. But I do get the development angle. The AAA Louisville manager talked at length about how they have coached Christian Encarnacion-Strand to improve his selectivity. Meanwhile, Kyle Gibson fans 11 Twins like they're a crummy AAA lineup. I get the organizational philosophy, but they gave away what will, in all likelihood, be two above average major league bats for a pedestrian pitcher.
