  1. No one is saying they are perfect. This all started because someone posted no reasonable projection system would say he can hit.....I merely pointed out that one system did. Nothing more or less. They promoted an OF from Ft Meyers to AAA, and not Wade..... Just like they promoted a different IF than Gordon. It can't be that they don't want top prospects in Rochester. Romero, Gonsalves, and Mejia are there, or were. So I got no idea.
  2. Defense counts too..... And he replaces Lamarre on the roster.... At least move him to AAA.
  3. I was responding to the post that "no reasonable projection" would have him ever be good....... we aren't sure one way or the other....but his defense has to be MUCH better than Grossman's, and Buxton is out for some time. Let's find out if he's going to be good or not, or at least expose him to MLB pitching, or at least gather data.
  4. Plenty of other teams promote young players to the majors.....it would be nice to see the Twins be more aggressive than they have been (and no, I'm not saying put him in the majors right now, I'm saying promote him before he's ready, to challenge him and get him here faster).
  5. I don't think people realize how few pitchers finish six innings anymore, and how the game has changed. I know I struggled with this, until a couple years ago. But, the world has changed. Starters don't throw as many innings as we think. Like it or not, it just is.
  6. there is no need to send grossman down...DFA Lamarre. Or a random RP, and cycle thru RPs from MLB to AAA. Really, no need to do anything with grossman at all.
  7. fangraphs projects him to be a better hitter than Rosario.....so, no. that isn't correct.
  8. I don't go by just numbers, especially one year numbers. Also, defense.
  9. ? we have some posters saying you can't go to MLB from AA, because you need to face AAA pitching....we have some saying you don't need to go to AAA? Gordon should be in AAA, now. Wade should be in MN, or AAA, now. The players there are better. Some are former MLB players.
  10. Maybe they should have more than zero position players in AAA? So, you know, if there is an issue?
  11. It's a fair concern, I don't agree, but it's fair. If he's not here in 2019....and Dozier is gone (he will be), ugh.
  12. I prefer the teams that like youth, and challenge them. He's a top prospect. He should be in AAA now, and maybe Minnesota. Certainly in Minnesota this year, so he's ready to be here next year.
