    Meet your 2020 Twins starting 2b. Schoop won't be resigned. A comp for Arraez? How 'bout Rod Carew?
  2. Yossarian
    Arraez (not among our top prospects?) is an excellent reason to trade Schoop for a prospect or bullpen help.

    Even if Sano is 28, he's entering his prime production years. Keeping him offers far more upside than what another organization would give today in trade.

    There's more of Buxton, too. He's clearly added to his frame. More mass means more velo. His stance looks slightly more open and his hands and shoulders move less. In this 2018 vid, he dropped his left shoulder more. Perhaps it was to reach a low pitch, I can't tell. Better hand control has helped deal with the inside pitch. If Bux reverts to bad habits, Parker will be getting a phone call, interesting work, thank you.

    Just swap Kepler and Bux between the 1- and 9-holes versus righties and lefties. Can't ignore the L/R splits on these two guys. Rocco's resting Max against lefties anyway.

    A good read, and hopefully a nice prep for some guys who just might see time later this year with the big club given its inconsistent 'pen. Magill? Morin?
  7. Yossarian
    Nice while it lasted. Any analysis on Kimbrel?
  8. Yossarian
    Cesar had a Texas League record 42-game hitting streak last year.

    Someone in the F/O gets a pat on the back if Smeltzer keeps going like this. And another pat on the back to the minor league field guy who put him back in the rotation.

    Makes one almost smile to think about the future. Looking forward to the MiLB daily game summaries this year.

    You might want to check the radar gun at the Fort...

    Ahhhhh,..., no.

    It's supposed to be buy low, sell high. Sell Sano? Sell low. And I'm pretty tired of that strategy.

    Seems to me Bux needs more time to develop before being turned loose at the ML level. Why is the FO overreaching by not bringing him up to play in September thus providing the club more time for him to do precisely that? One of my favorite TK quotes was that April and September stats are poor indicators of a player's development level. Bux had a terrific September a while back, but it didn't translate to this season's post-April. And for every wondrous play he makes as a CF, there's a cringe-worthy episode where he just doesn't take care of his body, and then its DL-time. Bux' WAR is terrific and it could be world-beating if we could both afford and plan on him starting 150 games a year.

    Saw Ryan Jeffers in last night's Cedar Rapids box. Apologies if noted previously.

    This season has been a dumpster fire. I expected a bit of regression towards the 2016 atrocity, but not to this degree.
  17. Yossarian
    Very much appreciate the prospect summary. Saves at least four boxscore clicks.
  18. Yossarian
    Good player, but if the market is ready to overpay, then we have capable prospects and will be able to use that money elsewhere. Wish Doz all the luck.
  19. Yossarian
    Stephen Gonzalves and Fernando Romero.
  20. Yossarian
    Jorge did a good job, and should've finished the 6th. But for his excellent demeanor, he reminds me of Kevin Slowey...
  21. Yossarian
    Don't jinx it....
  22. Yossarian
    Good job! Wonder how many hours Bux has spent in the cage with Rowson since 20 April? Something happened between last August-September and the start of the season that caused Bux to think he was a 24 yG.o. Willie Mays. But, methinks Rowson reset Bux in the cage and video room. Bux' potential to hit .300 (and have an OBP 80 pts higher) is directly related to his ability to make contact. He can fly.
  23. Yossarian
    I'm afraid we'll only have one good season to show for the 60-odd million TR gave Hughes. The best thing about Phil is that we'll need to call up Berrios in June to replace him as he'll either be back on the DL or have the worst starter's ERA in the AL.
  24. Yossarian
    I have high hopes for Bux, but can't help remembering that Tom Kelly used to say something like, a ballplayer is never as good as he looks in April and September.
  25. Yossarian
    Methinks the 25-man looks very, very different by 15 June. And Rochester should have a heckuva team.
