Thought this was too horrible and too funny. My roommate was talking with a guy who claimed to be a pro baseball player online for months. He gave her the sob story that his dad recently died and how bad he felt. They meet up at a casino and get it on in the hotel. He leaves. She wakes up naked with $200 on the nightstand. A little research online shows he is not a pro ball player but is a independent league bum who only made AAA in his career. His dad didn't die in the timeframe he described, and rather in the time he said his dad died, he actually proposed to his girlfriend and was engaged. He played for the Cleveland Indians organization and may have cracked the top 10 prospects or was close. Kind of a worthless story but thought some of you may be entertained by it

Yea, fall league is incredible. The stadiums and sitelines are great. The seating is awesome. All for $7. Not bad! I guess the seats I was in go for around $45 during spring ball. I was blown away how much nicer the stadium's are than what the minor league park in beloit was like.

Pretty rough video, just put it together pretty quick, but take a look. I have Buxton's double and a strike out along with both of Rosario's basehits and a stolen base. [video=youtube;tJcDmD-J_fE]

Buxton - He was a DH tonight so I didn't get to see him in the field, and perhaps not playing in the field affected his bat, but he seemed overmatched tonight. Probably the most athletic players out there, but he was playing with older players and will need the first few games to adjust to the better pitching. His biggest problem was just watching too many good pitches go by. I figure that will change when he gains more confidence against the increased competition. His night ended 1-5 with a double and 4 strike outs. His first plate appearance he hit a chopper over the 3rd baseman. He hustled and made it a double. He was there like it was nothing. 1 of the strikeouts was just ugly as can be. Watched 3 belt high balls, and on his way back to the dugout. Rosario - I have always been a huge fan of Rosario. There was a point in time where I told my buddy I thought he was a more valuable prospect than Sano, mainly because of the position he played. I have backed off those expectations a bit, but I really do love this prospect. Hit 2-5 with 3 rbi's, 2 strikeouts and a stolen base. His first hit was a blooper, and he subsequently stole 2nd base. His 2nd hit was a line drive over the shortstop. Only had 1 ball hit in his direction, but he made a nice backhanded grab and throw to first for the out. He will stick at 2nd base, no doubt in my mind. Just looked very natural over there. I could see him as a .290-.310 avg with 8-15 homers in the big leagues. Lower ceiling but a higher floor for him. Zach Jones - Pitched 1 inning, gave up 1 hit, 1 run, 0 earned runs, and 3 strikeouts. The first batter he faced got the hit. Ball park was huge. 430 to center. 360 down the leftfield line. The batter probably hit the ball to the deepest part of the park, and got a stand up triple. Ball knocked off the catchers glove for a passed ball to score the runner. Next 3 batters he struck out. He obviously has good stuff. He was able to strike batters out... However, his curveball needs significant work. Just in the dirt all inning. Not only that but he tips his pitches in his delivery really bad. Every time it was a curveball, it was beyond noticeable because of the over exaggeration in the delivery. He needs some work. Good relief prospect overall though.

First things first, the website had the wrong time listed for the game. I ended up only staying for the first 6 innings. Will write some short notes in a bit. Will try to add them film I was able to record. Saw Buxton, Rosario, and Zach Jones for the twins

Going to head over right now. Looks like Buxton and Rosario are in the lineup with BUX at DH. Looking forward to seeing Rosario. Just missed him when me and another poster here went to check him and Sano out in Beloit. I'll see if I can get any videos but my phone is pretty messed up right now. We'll see!

If you guys have any requests on what to look out for let me know, otherwise I'll just enjoy the game.

If you need anything, let me know any necessary details in here or via private. I can see what I can do.

I live in Phoenix, not sure if I have capacity though

I cant remember a player having this many balls thrown at his head ever. Unreal.

Send Rosario, Morales, and Sano back down to Ft. Myers for the playoffs and lets win it!

Seems like things have just started to click for Aderlin Mejia. Only 21 too so a good age for A+ league. He is making himself a prospect. Will be interesting if he can keep it up.

Aaron Slegers with his first inning as a Twin. 1 inning pitched, no hits, no walks, 1 strike out, 2 ground outs.

Rough day for Derrick Rodriguez. 0-7 with 4 strike outs.

Dozier over doumit?
