  1. If the Twins can unlock a bit more velo to Mitrovich he’ll become a fascinating prospect. The changeup is already nasty

  3. Jamie having to compliment Gabby Gonzalez mission impossible 😂 Excited for all these guys, what a fun Saints game
  4. Plenty of arms in St. Paul could be let go, it is definitely time to give Culpepper a look at AAA as soon as possible. Don't think you will find a single fan on this page that disagrees
  5. I wasn't sold on Tait last year, but I am glad he seems to be proving me wrong. He should stay at A+ most of this year, but would love to see a promotion by the end of the year if he continues to hit like this. Hope the defense continues to grow as well Mendez & Olivar both should be at AAA. There is nothing more for either to prove at AA. Mendez has a line of guys in front of him in the OF which just continues to be a pain due to the Twins not moving on from Outman and 1 of Wallner / Larnach yet. I hope they both get moved up ASAP
  6. Every pitcher is different. Some have wacky arm slots, some how extension to be deceptive, etc. If you are Zebby and you don't have that velo you clearly arn't fooling anyone anymore is his issue. Velo is not end all be all, but for Zebby it seems to be the difference between being quad A or being a major leaguer. I'm not cheering against him, this is just what his performances have shown
  7. I always wonder if the statcast pitches are just extremely inaccurate, or are low level umps that bad? If they are accurate, maybe Dasan's stuff is just too good for those umps to see. I am not concerned Ian Daugherty had 2 homeruns last season FYI, wasn't his first professional HR
  8. I think his trade value is too low right now. I've always been a big Royce fan, even have a jersey, but he definitely is not "untouchable" anymore. Hopefully he comes back and continues to play well. Make it a tough choice for us!
  9. His FIP was a 3.79 last year even if the ERA was looking ugly. now that the velo is gone, his FIP is in the 8's in AAA
  10. Feels pretty simple, get velo back & he's fine, velo doesn't return & he's cooked
  11. You hear announcers describe how easy it looks for some guys to throw hard. Ever since we got Acton I can't help but think how difficult it looks for him to hit 94. Still liked the article, lets see what the Twins can do with him. Kind of worried he will struggle to put away lefties with just a FA&SL but what do I know
  12. Great day for Derek Falvey! Tait showing up and now is the best hitter OPS wise for the Kernels as one of the youngest players in A+. Mendez is starting to look the part and hopefully moves up to AAA soon. Is Moring another Twins late round diamond? Hope he gets to move up to A+ eventually to find out. Can Marek keep hitting? I really hope so and think so! It's early so no need to panic, but it's an unusually high about of K's for Diaw so far. Hope he bounces back soon. Winokur & DeBarge have also gone quiet after awesome starts
  13. All good to disagree. It is fine to take a mentality of "go young" and I understand that, but if you take that position you can't expect a young team to compete. Teams always need vets to compete. A team of all of the best rookies would lose to a team of average vets. I see Joe, Jeffers & Pablo (hopefully with Buck forever) as a solid foundation to grow around while still "going young" but having the necessary vets and experience all teams need.
