  1. Feels pretty simple, get velo back & he's fine, velo doesn't return & he's cooked
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. Huge fan of Dameury, was very disappointed last year and had to keep reminding myself he was only 19. The bat to ball skills are so impressive, and he has athleticism on top of it. Very exciting combo. He doesn't have Chandler Simpson speed by any means but he can try to carve out on OBP niche like him
  6. Extend Jeffers, extend Joe Ryan, and honestly given the injury question marks maybe even extend Pablo and the fans will return to you in full force Mr. Pohlad. Extend one of your young studs (Keaschall? Jenkins?) and show the fans you care. I was one of the 4%'ers but this is how you start to get the rest back
  7. Why was that the photo chosen 🤣 I get the concept of this thought, but I disagree. Give me Roden even if it just means another lefty bat.
  8. For me right now, it's either Roch or Emerson if they fall, and then Flora at 3 if they don't. I wouldn't hate Lackey of course but I would love a college pitching prospect who already looks like he has front of a lineup potential. Not only that, if his hit on the pool is lower than others, you go grab 2-3 guys for over slot later and that's a successful draft projection. I don't know if I am as in on Bell yet. Sad to see LeBron drop but the SEC #'s just aren't there (yet)
  9. 6+ innings 100+ pitches every game since I believe, guess they heard you!
  10. I don't know if a changeup heavy starter with a FB under 90 can find success for an entire season, but I'm going to hope for the best
  11. I think the list for order by possible upside is: 1. Soto 2. Hill 3. Prielipp 4. Rojas 5. Quick HM. Ellwanger Not a huge difference but I think Soto has the highest upside and volatility in the system for possible outcomes
  12. Maannn Sim looked good today, that homerun he gave up was a wild swing from Caminero, no clue how he got all of that. Don't blame the bullpen for the deficiency of the bats right now. Need Keaschall and Buxton to get out of their slumps or nothing else really matters. Baseball is a game of momentum and really only those two & Royce create their own (maybe Wallner too). Gotta get it back
  13. I absolutely agree with the article that the Caratini signing doesn't make a ton of sense based on usage thus far. I also will continue to say that Jeffers should have already been traded before the season started if we see no way in extending him. Hope they get a lot for him at the deadline somehow. I should clarify ideally to me we extend him, I just don't see that happening financially
  14. I love keeping up with the low minors teams, Mighty Mussels should (hopefully) be a fun watch this year, but what really stands out to me was the number of injuries to start the year this year. What happened???
  15. It's early April, we are 7 games into the season, have had some cold weather games, think it's a little too soon for this article
  16. Looks like an aggressive release. I mean it's a cheap price so just see what you can do with it I guess.
  17. If you think they're worse than the Rockies you aren't even really worth responding to
  18. Some of the claims in this article feel like a major stretch
  19. Twins fans have always been and will continue to always be so dramatic. Am I happy with the Pohlad's? No of course not. Do we deserve to be that far at the bottom of that list? Not even close
  20. There were more positive signs this first series than people expected. Yes, you could argue the Twins even had a chance to sweep, but I'm just glad they showed some fight. I'm not going to panic on Abel or Brooks yet, and I'm going to continue to keep some positive vibes about the team as a whole
  21. Guys hit tool is more about making contact consistently, which is why Tait & ERod aren't as high as other guys on the list. They have more swing and miss in their game, even if the power is better and the results are better. This was not an article about their total offensive profile
  22. He's not as good, he's not going to do it as consistently, but he has the bat speed and exit velocities to match, that's all that meant
