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

C.J. Culpepper Has Nothing Left to Prove at Double-A
DarrenPS commented on Cody Christie's article in Minor Leagues
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 -

Zebby seemingly found some velo back, love to see it! Rojas could be really special, only 23 years old and the stuff is great.

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

What the Heck Is Going On with Zebby Matthews?
DarrenPS replied to Sam Caulder's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
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 -

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

What the Heck Is Going On with Zebby Matthews?
DarrenPS replied to Sam Caulder's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
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 -

DarrenPS replied to Sam Caulder's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Feels pretty simple, get velo back & he's fine, velo doesn't return & he's cooked -
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

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

Twins 13, Red Sox 6: This Team is Hot
DarrenPS replied to Matthew Taylor's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
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.
