  1. Don't get me wrong, I like Kepler as a prospect......but not sure how anyone can be predicting he'll be a fixture in 2-3 years. Not if you believe Rosario is an OF on this team (with Buxton and Arcia). I have been predicting him as their future 1B for some time, actually. Though, all that talent has not yet translated into results, I believe he has a shot.
  2. it would be nice, but he's in A ball, and not exactly dominating. It's hard to predict he'll be in the OF with any confidence right now.
  3. It is amazing. Same with the Vikings and Wolves too (the outstate problem).....it's almost like they don't care if anyone listens.
  4. The pitching can't be worse than last year......I admit to being surprised at just how bad it has been.
  5. Very nicely written. Appreciate Kohl and the Twins giving us this insight.
  6. Pinto can catch, I read that someplace........
  7. Of the likely pitchers, I like Touissant the best (did I spell the right?).
  8. I was trying the reverse jinx.....now I don't know if I am pro or against jinxing...
  9. Not me, I want him in LF, in Target Field, next year. He's worth nothing in AAA next year. This team needs help. Start putting your best minor leaguers on a path to do that.
  10. Great, that means it won't happen......
  11. Way too much to give up for a stop gap player, especially for a non contending team.
  12. I would like him in AAA sooner, to get more data on if our when he could be ready. I am not arguing he should be in the majors.
  13. I want Hicks in MN, as long as there is no better option. I see no issue with him learning here vs Rochester. Narrowing his focus should help every aspect of his game. we'll see.
  14. not sure if serious
  15. Why can't he come to MN this year? If that is true, they have zero plans to bring him here, I guess I don't care when he gets to Rochester.
  16. I don't accept that their process works, given the results lately. But I understand that others disagree with me on that.
  17. "rush" is a loaded word, isn't it? It implies that moving him up is bad. We don't know that. Perhaps he is ready for AAA.
  18. I admit to confusion over Thorpe and Gonsalves being not in CR.
  19. This is supposed to be Mauer's team. I don't see them winning a lot if he doesn't step up.
  20. I appreciate the press is finally riding the Twins more publicly. But I find it hard to believe we'll see any significant changes in Twins land.
  21. I'd guess the sample size of SH that exist is small. I'd guess the sample size that gave it up is quite small. I'd guess that the sample size of legit prospects that gave it up is even smaller. I respect that he's willing to give this a shot. It was clearly a hard decision, but adults make hard decisions, and he's done that here. I am hopeful.
  22. Were the fans chanting "we want trevor" yet?
  23. I believe he will now become the player everyone thought. I'm excited to see the new Aaron Hicks! Good luck sir.
  24. Or just go with pinto, because he is part of the future.
  25. except maybe he thought shields at that price was way better than a FA he could afford, like compared to Pelfrey, for example.
