  1. Kudos to Zebby on a strong outing. Now, if we can find a way to put more runners on base and get them to score we will have a winning formula!
  2. Sure SWR was fairly awful this season for the Twins, but it's still puzzling that the team was so quick to DFA him and not give him a shot in the bullpen. And as Mike noted, he's still quite young. Do we have such an abundant reserve of pitchers that we can afford to keep making moves like this one?
  3. Very nice tribute to a former great Twins player that many have forgotten about. Thank you!
  4. Bowden lost any credibility 20-plus years ago. Ignore anything that he says.
  5. Cody Morissette Yet another new name for me. Doesn't seem like much of a prospect at this point, but cool to see him with a game highlight.
  6. Justin Lawrence is worth watching, because it takes a unique brand of courage to come into a 16-2 ballgame in the seventh inning and walk the first three men that you face. Courage or sheer ineptitude?
  7. I think Diaw is on the radar for sure, but I'm not sure the Twins would rush him by skipping a level. The biggest question seems to be where he ultimately plays. I had assumed he would get more playing time at catcher, but he still plays a lot in the outfield and that catch he made in center (see video in this article) was pretty darn impressive.
  8. Callan Fang —which sounds like the name of a horror movie villain from the 90s—debuted for the Mighty Mussels, tossing 2 2/3 effective innings with zero earned runs and three strikeouts. He looks to join the fraternity of the 35 Harvard men who have become big leaguers. The Tarpons are an affiliate of the nefarious—yet undeniably awesome—Yankees farm system. They sent forward their ninth-ranked prospect, starter Thatcher Hurd ... . They both sound like villains!
  9. Maybe not elite at this point, but I think he's still very, very good.
  10. I really enjoy reading your observations of the Twins, both MLB and minor league players. Keep on posting!
  11. I love, love, love these minor league reports. Thank you, Seth! Considering the current somewhat dire straits of the Minnesota Twins, it's encouraging that so many of our minor league players are showing flashes of talent.
  12. Another good analysis. I'm still puzzled by most of the things that make a pitcher's pitch mix effective or not, so I really do appreciate articles like this one that explain more about what these guys are doing ... and throwing. Thank you!
