    6+ innings 100+ pitches every game since I believe, guess they heard you!

    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

    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

    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???

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

    If you think they're worse than the Rockies you aren't even really worth responding to
  10. DarrenPS
    Some of the claims in this article feel like a major stretch

    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
  12. DarrenPS
    Wind Surge & Mighty Mussels begin their seasons on Thursday, FYI. Kernels begin their season on Friday

    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
  14. DarrenPS
    Altavilla pitched for Italy, not Israel. That was Bowman
  15. DarrenPS
    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
  16. DarrenPS
    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
  17. DarrenPS
    Ideally you have the speedy OBP guy at 1, a guy like Keaschall at 2 Buxton at 3 and a guy like Wallner at 4... If Austin Martin can hit righties and maintain a .400 OBP he could one day be that guy At the moment, I would do Keaschall 1 Buxton 2 and then mix up the rest of the lineup for 3, 4, 5 depending on who you're against day in and day out, with no set guys other than those two I don't personally love Wallner at 1. He has the pop like Schwarber, sure, but way too many 3-4 pitch strikeouts as well, leave him later in lineups
  18. DarrenPS
    I'm fully prepared for the hate this post will get. The Twins bullpen is going to be better than the doom & gloom Twins fans expect
  19. DarrenPS
    Great day to learn we got a new top prospect in Carlos Gonzalez!
  20. DarrenPS
    I've been a Bailey fan since he debuted, my buddies all told me I was crazy at the time but I was right for awhile. it pains me to say he just might be cooked. Going to continue to hope he can just average 90 (clearly 91-92 is ideal) but at this point it's looking bleak Positive vibes...
  21. DarrenPS
    I'm a fan of all three guys mentioned, and Soto of course if he can stay healthy. So much with young arms comes down to health, so just have to hope for the best there. I've been seeing a lot of Twins fans giving up on Prielipp which is sad. Are his number mind blowing? No of course not, he hasn't even pitched 100 innings yet. People also forget how injury ridden Crochet was before becoming a star. Happy endings do happen and Prielipp has the upside to really blossom, and I would keep him a started as long as possible. Dasan should already be top 100 in my opinion & I can't wait to see the 4 draftees (Quick, Ellwanger, Barr & Slenderman Reitz) pitch this year

    I wasn't a huge fan of the Marek pick at the draft, but mostly because I was hoping one of the HS SS's would fall (Pierce, Fien, Steele Hall) or Witherspoon would still be there (taken 1 pick before us), but now that I have seen the defensive highlights I am a fan. If he can be a solid contact guy, with that defense he will make the majors. I am okay with taking a contact first guy and hoping power develops when you're also taking risks on high upside HS prospects like Winokur & Quentin Young. Gotta also hit on one of those risky picks though for it to be worth it...

    Truly feels like a 50/50 chance that could go either way as in my opinion there is no chance you start a season with 4 leftie relivers. I tend to lean towards start Funderburk down in AAA and he will be up when one of the two older lefties gets hurt, but Chafin's velo is a real concern. Curious to see what they do (even if others will joke and say it doesn't matter). I see the bullpen as: Banda, Orze, Rodgers, Sands, Topa, Hendriks, Chafin, and then one of Altavilla or Kent, personally leaning towards Altavilla
  24. DarrenPS
    Not really mentioned here is the sharp decline in Zebby's stuff so far this spring. I'm hoping he is just ramping up but his velo is down on all pitches, and his Stuff is grading poorly on all of those twitter pages. Right now Mick has my vote
  25. DarrenPS
    Agreed, and with Pablo hurting his elbow they should lock him up too. It give him financial security and will be cheaper cause of the injury. Just a thought
