  1. doesn't mean I have to like it. This FO is completely uninterested in promoting long time MN Twins' farm hands, this much must be clear by now.
  2. Foreigner....oh, wait, you said bRand.....
  3. Heaven forbid a prospect be promoted.....
  4. I had the same thought. I might reach out on Twitter and see, but probably not.
  5. I asked him about Carlson in a chat, I think the response is in this thread. He likes him a lot, but is not hearing about teams being tied to him, IIRC.
  6. Belisle, Breslow, Haley and others are freely available to take their 8 ERAs off the 40 man..... This fear of losing bad players always baffles me.
  7. Lots of Twins' stuff in here: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/19459567/mlb-roundtable-memorial-day-standings-audit
  8. Clearly, then, you would never trust anyone on any trade?
  9. There are teams that use AA/AAA starters as RPs their first taste in teh majors, teams that have a significantly better track record than MN in developing pitching (Cardinals, for example)....I have no idea if they SHOULD do that with Romero or not, but dismissing it out of hand seems odd to me, given that we've seen it work.
  10. Other than stubbornness, can anyone explain why they should care about keeping Haley at this point?
  11. TONS of draft thoughts in Eric L's chat on FG today. Here's one excerpt: HS Arms 1:05 Is Greene that much more polished than a Gore? Seems like Gore's secondary offerings are much better from reports. Eric A Longenhagen 1:07 I agree but a lot of scouts (and I fall into this category too, save for maybe a few guys like Stroman and Mike Leake) have never seen an athlete like Greene on the mound and he arguably has elite fastball and command projection because he repeats so well. He just doesn't have a great breaking ball yet. Gore's changeup is already awesome.
  12. that might be true. a: we won't really know until he gets a shot b: is that actually worse than Breslow, Belisle, Wilk, Rucinski, et. al.?
  13. Oh no, they aren't good. but still, doing stuff with your kids is the best.
  14. Man, I really trusted the brain trust on Stewart when he was picked. So depressing so far this year.
  15. 11:09 5 Run Homer: Robbie Grossman is walking like crazy. What is happening here? 11:10 Jeff Sullivan: You know, at some point, Grossman is going to finally earn his own FP article. He kind of did this last year, too. And as long as the Twins are in the hunt, they’re actually good for publishable material
  16. From last week: 10:05 Twinkies: Say that the twins are *somehow* leading a tight division race around the trade deadline – what kind of trade would make sense for them? 10:05 Jeff Sullivan: Boring stuff. They’re not going to sell the farm for anything, but they could add depth pieces 10:06 Jeff Sullivan: Like, a piece like Jason Vargas. Completely unsexy but helpful for them
  17. Teams don't make trades until July. Who is trading for any of those players right now?
  18. so, ignore all of last year, and judge him on 1 start this year? Seems a bit early....
  19. We lived 5 mins from the stadium last summer, and never went. If I had some guys to go with, to hang out, that would work. but with my wife? Golf, hiking, wineries, etc wins the day (as they should).
  20. Long writeup on McKay here: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/daily-prospect-notes-530/
  21. Attendance is largely correlated with the previous years' record. Since, you know, it is largely correlated with season ticket sales.....Anyone that doesn't understand that (Ruesse, apparently), hasn't read much about what drives attendance at MLB games.
