I'm taking partial credit for that RBI -
Escobar Baby! You got word!
-
Apparently nobody informed Sano of my efforts
-
Just put Twins bottle coozy on beer bottle for luck.
-
Good eye Joe. Bad call on that strike
-
Point taken. Who gets the second game Monday? Gonsalvez or Melville?
-
OK, missed the part about Boshers. Would really, really like to see Turley establish something from the pen. Seems he has the stuff.
-
I don't think Castro is awful. Inconsistent at times, but not awful. Some power, decent OB, especially considering the AVG. Used properly, he and Garver could be pretty effective IMO.
-
Just commented Slegers has to go down as he's the 26th man for the double header. But couldn't he be kept as an injury replacement for Grossman?
-
LOVE Rogers and get the matchup. But 2 out and Hildenberger throwing that well? I don't get it.
-
Granite and either Garver or Vargas. But as right now aren't there FOUR LH in the pen?
-
Why oh why can't we have Granite AND Garver?
-
Granite for sure. Need that 4th OF.
-
Maximus!
-
Agreed! You can't pitch in AAA that well, perform that well in your debut and not stick around for more.
-
What's the name of Clevinger's band?
-
I may have to watch some of the replay of this game just to watch Slegers
-
I'd say wet, looked like a long divit and mud
-
Damn shame, Kepler slipping like that. Puts a damper on Slegers debut
-
Just got home, saw ONE pitch and Slegers pulled. ARG! Box score reads great! How did he look?

Future at 1B, Dozier, Carew, Rose and a bunch more to consider
DocBauer replied to DocBauer's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
My thought is Dozier at 1B with Gordon and Polanco in some variation of SS and 2B. -
I've always felt, and stated, that position by position a team can be built in many ways. A classic example was the Twins with Puckett in CF. At that time, there were very few CF who had that type of power and offensive ability. Most were leadoff types and defense first players. But having someone with that kind of production in CF, (or SS in the case of other teams), meant you could have a "lesser" offensive player at another position. So Mauer at 1B, playing great defense, and doing what he does offensively, is not necessarily a black hole. All of that being said, Mauer back for 2019 is a long way from being determined. Now, he has rebounded some offensively this season. Can he maintain that for the rest of the season and in to and through 2018? Another year older and with a young family, will he simply decide it's time to walk away and spend more time with them? I'm not a betting man, but if I were, if lay money he retires after 2018 to be with his family and no longer deal with the seasonal grind and injuries.

Aaron Slegers to Make Major League Debut Tomorrow
DocBauer replied to SwainZag's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
This makes a ton of sense. There is some potential there and you can't ignore what he's done in AAA this season, (his first there), top rated prospect or not. Excited to see what he does and wish him the best of luck! -
Is it just me, or does the 20yo Whitefield look like a tremendous story and possible top 20 prospect? Is he a RH Kepler? Everything I read says he plays good defense, he hits, he runs, his OB is quality, he has power, and he seems to keep getting better and better.
