  1. I saw the score of that Cedar Rapids game, and had to look again: 23 runs scored?! A great day for the offense!
  2. Maybe not elite at this point, but I think he's still very, very good.
  3. I really enjoy reading your observations of the Twins, both MLB and minor league players. Keep on posting!
  4. Hmm ... the plot thickens.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. Yes, to all of that! Sure, Prielipp struggled, but he hung in there and DID give us some needed innings until the expected bullpen implosion happened.
  8. Josh Bell doesn't get much love here, and overall he's obviously had a sub-par season so far, but when he DOES get hits, he seems to generate a few runs each time. He is tied with Lee at 39 RBI, which is more than either Buxton or Clemens have. Not saying he is a better player than any of those guys, but I still think he has value on this team.
  9. Good analysis. I'm sure we are all hoping that Bradley can overcome these control issues. Like you wrote, his "stuff" is still strong. Now he needs to make sure the pitches are going where they are intended.
  10. Well, it's not an exciting move, but it's not like the Twins have unlimited options this season. Not many pitchers in AAA that truly deserve a callup (sure, we could try some of them, but that might mean adjustments to the 40-man roster and/or service time issues), so why not keep dumpster diving and see if we can find another useful pitcher such as Gomez? I don't expect much from this pitcher, but maybe he sticks. It's just another low-risk move that may or may not produce results. Keep on diving.
  11. Another impressive game for Khadim Diaw. Which position is he playing more this season? Catcher or in the outfield? Or will he end up being another DH type?
  12. Great so see the Twins hitting some home runs, but too bad that nobody was on base when any of them were hit. Meanwhile another rocky outing for Taj, and the bullpen wasn't much better.
  13. I wouldn't put Polanco in the putrid category at all. When he's healthy he's a valuable player, But he certainly is injury-prone and his current salary seems a huge overpay.
  14. What was Kepler's bad news? I assumed that coming back from his suspension and getting signed again would be a good thing for him.
  15. The Minnesota Twins signed free agent RHP Failin Placencio to a minor league contract Hmm ... an unfortunate first name, but maybe the Twins organization can get him succeedin very soon.
  16. Ha! That was my first thought too ... and I also don't think it would be a totally crazy idea.
  17. If they are seriously planning on turning Lewis into a first baseman, then he definitely needs more time in AAA to work on fielding that position.
  18. Another pitcher I've never heard of, but I checked his career stats and they aren't horrific. Maybe he turns into a useful piece during this strange season. Gotta keep fishing and hope we catch a few.
  19. It was Like Tug-of-War Between Two Pigs in the Mud Best headline for an article so far this season!
