    We had similar angst with Santana and France - too quick for us commenters to pull the trigger.

    Am I delusional? It seems like our system is short on quality pitching, only a couple really seem like they have major league potential. I would love to see our prospect list dominating by pitchers.

    St Louis Cardinals with Ozzie Smith and the Aparacio/Fox White Sox will always be memorable teams - I like fielding.

    Time to move on - give Fedko a period of consistency, they be prepared to move on from both with Gonzales and Jenkins.

    The trouble is you really have to go back to when we were leading after three four or five enemies

    great - seven innings, how about 8? Trusting the BP is like putting out the fire with a liquid called gasoline. Let's change it from bullpen to Heiferpen!

    Long enough to raise questions. We have had too many good players on IL

    Our site wrote off Lee in many early posts and comments. I am so glad we had patience. The answer to who will be the next core might include Lee.

    A few years ago we had the same expectations that seem to swarm about the OF depth of Walker, Gonzales, Rodriguez, Roden with Lewis, Kiriloff and Larnach. The shine fades quickly. The IL visits of this next batch of saviors has dampened my enthusiasm. So far Jenkins has played 224 games in 5 1/2 seasons or 40 games a year. In those 5.5 years Emmanual Rodriguez has averaged 58 games a year. Those are the two top rated. Can we count on them?

    Yuck. We lack bulls in the pen!

    I am high on Diaw and expect him to make AAA before the season ends. We need to have a catcher with Jeffers gone and Caratini with one more year.

    Wait and see - better than another DFA pickup

    Rubbing salt in the wounds! I just read this in USA Today examining all the losing records in the AL at the half way mark: "Well, it’s easy enough to look at the interleague records and realize 12 of 15 teams have losing records against the National League. The Angels (9-18) and Twins (9-17) are the worst of the bunch, while only the Mariners (12-11) and Rangers (16-14) are above .500."

    Trades require a second team - the article I am looking for is - who do other teams want from the Twins.
  15. mikelink45
    Ohtani, Freeman, Muncy, Betts - I think the team played really well against them - only overwhelmed by star power in game two. And jkcarew had to remind us of the all-star IL lineup that they have. Thanks for the response.

    Is Riley Quick one of those players who came on too quick, caught our attention and quickly rose too high in the prospect list? I always like to wait a year in the minors before giving a player a top ten listing.
  17. mikelink45
    Its still a game and I am fine with players appreciating accomplishment.
  18. mikelink45
    Only trade for pitchers! We have plenty of OF/DH - we don't have a complete roster of pitchers.
  19. mikelink45
    How long before Morris plays himself off the prospect list? Some nice stats by the batters. Everyone says Roden or Walker comes up - how about bringing Gonzales back?
  20. mikelink45
    What hurts is that the Dodger pitchers Klein and Lauer should not have shut down our offense. With Zebby's good start we should have mustered more than three hits. That is my disappointment.
  21. mikelink45
    I know I am in the minority but I really don't care if the pitcher is older than the batter. When they get to the majors no one says that. Talent is not restricted to age.
  22. mikelink45
    Not at all. How many teams in MLB would love to have Buxton patrolling the center.
  23. mikelink45
    Who is ready to replace Lawrence in the pen?
  24. mikelink45
    Don't tease us - where is the Lawrence DFA? Please. Otherwise great win and Lee is doing terrific after so many wanted him gone in May.
  25. mikelink45
    I find myself agreeing with Twinstalker - this is not as impressive as past lists. Jenkins and Rodriguez have had too many injuries and just lose their luster - still in the rankings, but not as exciting as they were. The pitchers on the list don't make be excited to see them promoted and that is not good. We need pitching. I would have Hill much lower, too soon for Quick to be up this high, Soto has stagnated. And Raya is not on the list. I am higher on Diaw that the rankings. But overall this is not a group that makes me confident about the near future.
