What the Heck Is Going On with Zebby Matthews?
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. -
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

Twins 13, Red Sox 6: This Team is Hot
DarrenPS replied to Matthew Taylor's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
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 -
Can This Saints Standout Help The Twins Right Now?
DarrenPS replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
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.- 33 replies

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)

Bailey Ober Is Reinventing Himself in Real Time
DarrenPS replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
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 -
Ranking Twins Top-5 Pitching Prospects By Upside
DarrenPS replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
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 replies

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

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

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???

Looks like an aggressive release. I mean it's a cheap price so just see what you can do with it I guess.- 29 replies

Twins Fall to Bottom of The Athletic’s Hope-O-Meter

Twins Fall to Bottom of The Athletic’s Hope-O-Meter
DarrenPS replied to Cody Christie's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
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 -
Wind Surge & Mighty Mussels begin their seasons on Thursday, FYI. Kernels begin their season on Friday

Week in Review: Rough Around the Edges
DarrenPS replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
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- 18 replies

Ranking 2026 Twins Top Prospects By Best Hit Tool
DarrenPS replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
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- 27 replies

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
