    Well, obviously the Twins missed their chance by not trading him last month when his value was the highest it's ever been. Other than that Houston offer, it seems like there SHOULD have been some other teams interested. But that ship has sailed. At this point he's just dead weight on the roster, and with this surplus of outfield prospects waiting to be called up, there is no reason to keep him on the field. I can't imagine a scenario where he is in a Twins uniform next season.

    Another terrific roundup! This is my first Merphy Hernandez sighting and I'm impressed by his stolen base numbers. Other than having plus speed, what sort of prospect is he?
  3. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Thanks for asking for feedback. But I hope that there are no big changes planned, or challenging hoops to jump through. I'm content with the way things are.
  4. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Meanwhile, as the lead article noted, that truly WAS an impressive AA debut by Bohorquez. Let's hope he continues with those types of games.

    It seems like any other well-run baseball team would have called up a prospect like Jenkins by now, especially with the injury concerns of Buxton. If the front office doesn't make that move in the next 24 hours they qualify as idiots.
  6. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Yes, to that. Plus, Buxton still doesn't seem right and/or healthy. He isn't helping the team as things stand. Bring up Jenkins and give him those at-bats for the next month.
  7. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Small steps. Big news!
  8. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Unfortunate timing, seeing as how we need some strong arms, both in the rotation and in the bullpen. But as much as I'd like to see Rojas return soon, I hope they are cautious and don't rush him back before he is fully recovered.
  9. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Many thanks for the explanation. I am still trying to understand many of these new stats and sabermetrics so your information is helpful.
  10. Bangkok Twins Fan
    I can't get my head around some of these advanced stats that some of these posters are citing, but I though that this was an interesting and fun read. Who knows if this kid will stick around, but it sounds like he is off to a great start for someone so young.
  11. Bangkok Twins Fan
    I agree on Rojas, We don't need him to pitch complete games, but just having him pitch some effective innings will be a big help.

    Quentin Young accomplished a dubious feat on Wednesday, collecting his 29th, and 30th errors of the season. Billed a raw prospect, the youngster may need an entire McCormick factory’s worth of seasoning on defense. Great description! Sounds like Young's future may be as a DH.

    I love both Millard Fillmore and guano history (and yes, the history of guano from South America really is fascinating!). Thanks for that. You made my day!
  14. Bangkok Twins Fan
    As long as he's healthy --- and I agree, that is often a big IF --- I'd prefer to keep Buxton in center field. That's still the best place for him to play. Maybe Jenkins MAY become the starter at that position, but that is still speculation at this point.
  15. Bangkok Twins Fan
    With Keaschall now in the outfield mix that makes the glut of players even thicker. We didn't lose any outfielders at last month's trade deadline, so there needs to be a cull in the near future.
  16. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Yes, that would be a good duo. There is almost no way we see Jeffers in a Twins uniform next season, and I would be quite content to have Jackson back again. Plenty of young catching prospects in our minors, but none are ready for MLB yet.
  17. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Gotta add my voice to the choir: great article, Parker! These types of articles that look into the reasons and mechanics of pitching changes really helps an old guy like me understand the current game much better. Very informative and helpful!
  18. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Yep, that only compounds the frustration.
  19. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Yeah, we had more hits than they did and the Twins still managed to leave 11 LOB. Should have been a much closer game in any case.
  20. Bangkok Twins Fan
    I like versatile players, Willy Castro being one such good example. But sometimes I think this concept of switching players around from position to position, platooning, or whatever, certainly CAN hurt their development or play with their heads. Where I am playing this week? Players like Royce Lewis, Keaschall, Martin, and even Brooks Lee and Clemons seem adrift in the grand scheme of things. I really don't know the answer, but it seems like most players would like to know which position they are going to play for the next couple of years and stick with it, rather than trying to take on a new role.
  21. Bangkok Twins Fan
    I agree. He's still young and seems to have the physical tools to play on the field, but where does he end up playing? Granted, it's still very early days to judge him as an outfielder, but then again I thought he would stick at second base.
  22. Bangkok Twins Fan
    Whatever happened to Joey Gallo's plan to become a pitcher?
  23. Bangkok Twins Fan
    I would assume that some team will claim him. He played well, albeit in limited innings this season.
  24. Bangkok Twins Fan
    I think 2029 might be a more likely "due date" for a World Series appearance for this young bunch, but I applaud your optimism!

    Bonus points for the Bonnie Raitt clip!
